We should get cherry to grab some cool chunks from other maps and drop them into this one with MCEdit or something like it.

I wanna see what the Boardsies could do with the spawn point of 'gargamel' seed

cherryghost

I'm back! And rebooting!

cherryghost

Back up! Sorry about that lads.

Towny does sound cool but agree that having PvP turned on everywhere could be a disaster.

It can be worked that PvP is enabled only in certain areas

gavmcg92

Finished the mapping?

cherryghost

Nope, it rendered and then crashed at the end :P re-rendered it and its 180mb, so I'm editing it at the mo :rolleyes:

I like the towny idea.
Become enemies with the spawn town and kill you all!

All joking aside, I'm not a fan. I'd rather have economy between the towns rather that rivalry.

Also, bring back localshops

I dont think the shops thing was working really. No one was really buying anything and there were too many shops. I think i only spent around 20 coins and made only about 10 from selling stuff in my own shop.

Because nobody had money. The /kits were one of the main reasons the shops failed, the other was that there was only a fixed amount of money in the world.

Also with the towns idea it will be used for trading between towns.

I didnt think many people were using the kits to be honest. It was probably two weeks before i bought anything and that was a diamond pickaxe. I never felt the need to buy anything else because i was able to mine for it.

It seemed like a lot of others were gathering materials that they needed as well instead of buying. Sure we even have large farms near the spwan where people can get cactus, wheat and sugar reeds for free.

We'll torch that.

And People have more rare items to sell now than they did before.
I'd sell TNT, Diamonds, Tools, Food, Weapons and other rare blocks if I could make a shop.

YOU'LL BE THE ONE "TORCHED"!

Really though, something which is so easily farmed is not going to upset the balance of an economy. Everyone already had those farms and tons of the items which is why I made the public farms... to show off :pac:

Yeah with your gigantic cactus farm that wastes 60% of the drops and still fills your inventory in 10 minutes

Closer to the high end of 40% actually. And if I finally finish those dirt walls around it it'll be even better.

I agree about the iconomy thing. Never spent a penny and didn't make a shop. Once you've been playing for more than a week you have everything you need and nothing you have will sell to anyone else. Diamond is the only exception as it's both rare and the most useful but even that isn't hard to find. A couple of hours diamond-mining will get you a couple of dozen diamonds at least. And that should keep you going for most of a week.

Fajitas!

I suggested to Cherry on chat during the week that if we were to get 'paid' for mining rarer ores, it might be more appealing. Not much, like 1 unit of currency for every 10 iron, 5 for every 5 gold and 5 for every diamond.

BlandKitten

If we have an economy for Towny (residents paying the town, towns paying the nation) then it'd be moreso for bragging rights, which I kinda like :P

hare05

The problem is that nothing is really that rare, and the nature of the game means there will always be more resources. iConomy might have made sense if you had to walk everywhere, but let's face it, even if all the currently spawned land gets hollowed out of all the good stuff, all you need to do is walk for 10 minutes any direction from spawn, /sethome [#], and start digging the new stuff.

Resources have two kinds of scarcity. How hard it is to find, and how hard it is to retrieve. At the moment, you can get to bedrock with a pile of stone + iron picks in less than an hour, and can get a stack of diamond a little while after that.

Scarcity depends on resources being limited, while Minecraft may as well be unlimited in size, I doubt we'll ever max out the map size. If you want iConomy to work, you need to increase the difficulty of getting the good stuff, and that means getting rid of the /home and /back commands so that mining becomes risky again.

cherryghost

Excessively large carto incoming!

cherryghost

Reduced size:

hare05

My town 'Nowhere' isn't on that lol. Bit further east

Anyone wanna travel to the blank spots and spawn them?

Dammit! If I knew this would show up I would have put the glowstone creeperface elsewhere. Any chance you can spare me 50 glowstone and 14 netherrack, cherry?

I guarantee it would be visible from orbit!
