Now, I heard that it's been considered before, but I would ask for it to be considered once more.
I'd like to see the current Factions plugin replaced with it, as mentioned in the title.
It has more of a "build together" rather than "fight together" mentality, as opposed to Factions.
In fact, it actually costs (A configurable amount, I believe) to declare war on opposing towns.
Another reason that I love this plugin much more than Factions is the control a Town Owner has -
You can change permissions on your land to allow outsiders, allies, or just town members to edit
land, use chests, levers, etc, great for co-operative projects. You can still set owner for land,
just the same as Factions.

Hope to see this on the server sometime!

Its no secret, ever since I joined the server, I have been in favor of players working together in a town unit. I like the idea much better than factions, but I don't think the rest of the staff share my same opinions.
 
When put in to a pvp world it will just turn out the same way as factions which worked in a similar way.
Simply adding this plugin to replace factions isn't going to get pvp up any quicker, we're still working on a few things.
 
never really liked towny myself. too complicated and lame... the build world is much smoother.
 
Depending on what permissions plugin you guys use, you could simply disable all of Towny's commands in every world except PvP.
 
note: this was to replace factions not the build world. from what I read.


if it can added more coop based play in the factions world I'm kinda all for it.

depending on bugs and complications.
 
Can we please get pvp back before we implement new plugins? That would be nice.
 
I'd love it if we could get factions back ALONG with our bases so it doesn't get claimed by others beforehand...
 
I don't see anything wrong with factions. The best thing about it is that it allows you to actually hold a base, since in Minecraft, the only thing that is fully invincible from a diamond pickaxe is something you can't get because its pickaxe proof. With protected lands, we can actually have a base in PVP and have it last more than a month, if built right. Without it, even Refines Glass Tower would be easily destroyed.

I'd also REALLY like to have it back.

Or at least know when...

It would be nice.
 
Towny seems to have a lot better functionality comparing it to factions. We should try it.
 
I would like to see how towny would work out. Factions get a little old after a while, since its almost impossible to raid a large faction's base. And from what I'm reading, it brings more cooperation between players than factions does.
 
One of my favourite parts about factions was working together to build a base with my teammates.
The subsequent defence of our own, and raids of other bases was also very fun, all the while still working to build your base up with looted materials.

From my experience, the factions world stopped being strictly a factions world months ago, and the only combat you would experience was on the border of the safe zone, nobody made any attempt to build bases anymore because the leaderboard became every players focus. The concept of playing as a team was thrown out the door for the most part.

Maybe a fresh start is in order, and maybe this new plugin will provide that fresh start, with the focus being shifted back to teamwork first.
 
A world reset is definitely needed. With the reset the world should be bigger with not only larger world dimensions but a larger safe-zone to prevent factions walling it off. I think that towny sounds much more intricate, better.
 
I'm not very fond of the factions plugin. In fact I don't bother with PvP on our server for that reason - I simply don't find it interesting. The server I play for PvP uses the towny plugin and I really like it's functionality and customization options. I'd be very happy to see towny come to MCA. I personally enjoy role playing in a PvP world at times and that just fits right in with towny. I like a build-focused PvP world with city states waging war and diplomacy. And I don't like playing on another server to find that sense if immersion in PvP. Just my two cents!
