Hey all,
I have not been active lately because got caught into this awesome modpack called Agrarian skies available on the FTB launcher, definitely recommandable
But i ilke the idea of a project zone, or rather a place where everyone can build together instead of being spread out over thousands of blocks and never see each others builds and ideas.
I am probably a bad example for this with my lonely island but now that it is (almost) finished, i can move on, it will provide any ressources needed. Which is the main point of this snowy island.
Although i like this idea,i will still come back to an old idea: a reset of the map.
Now that there are few active players, having this huge, already used and shaped map might be not so motivating.
I understand your point Bart regarding the respect payed to older players for the time and effort put into their builds. But i think this is how things go, time change, they moved on and stopped playing or come very seldom on the server to disappear just as quickly. Moving on on our side won't hurt their feeling too badly i think and might also attract other new players.
For this new map, their is no need to make a big setup until more active players are back on board. And then your idea of a project zone should definitely be kept for all the players to participate in, therefore, smaller map, closer community and work together.
A new map will also implement new world generation into the landscape with new biomes and all, which is also a good change to bring into a new project zone.
Again that is just an idea. I would be very sad to leave the mooshroom island, trust me. But one of the project could be to reproduce something alike to provide good resources to the server (food, slims, animals, mob drops, iron...)
Anyway i will join in to see you online
