[CommanderFluffy]

Looks good to me.

Starts people somewhat out of town so they can get right to mining and building their own creation.

Another place I would recommend would be

[lofp]

shuckels i would say yes to that but alot of new people want to explore the world first before they join.. if its out in the middle of nowhere past casa del indigo they will need to travel super far to get anywhere to see anything.

Well, on the bridge where I put them, you can basically see the clusterfuck of a starting area we have now kinda in the distance.
And how long will it be till people stop building in the starting area for everyone to see? Never.

Any way we can make multiple spawns available? When you first join a server, you are assigned to one of several spawns. That way, people get their own neighborhood and it's easy to build a subway from one neighborhood to another. We will start to generate several small cities.

If not, a multispawn mod would be awesome...

humm interesting idea... would almost become like "I was born at the mario spawn, you?" lol

Exactly, it would stimulate growth and discovery organically, and as the server population rises, it will divide the world into building teams. If I took the concept out a little further, each region could send a team to play Spleef for the Addicts Cup!

Great idea!

Let me look into it... That was fast. http://forum.hey0.net/showthread.php?tid=1696

It's doable. Let's do it!

 

[lofp]

yah totaly agree. how would we impliment this thought and what locations?

 

[coffeeplz]

DONT MOVE MY GRAVEL STORE! D:

 

[edgeofblade]

Real sick, man.

 

[lofp]

move his gravel store!!! hehehe

nah dont worry we arent making any changes to any existing structures

In general, I would say that current users would be assigned the spawn point nearest their base. Visitors will spawn at the standard spawn, either the current or a new spawn at a TBA location. Once they are approved to build, the user is assigned a spawn point on a rotating basis, unless someone knows someone and wants to spawn near them.

Once we get that set up, it will be a new project to build out a subway to the location, to help people move around.

I wouldn't want to limit where people build... the spawn does not FORCE them to build there... but using the spawns will help naturally concentrate them. Of course, if someone has other plans, they can request a spawn change, like a move to a new town. But they would need an established base there before doing so.

 

[lofp]

since we all use /home and /warp and /tp's

/spawn kinda looses its appeal... thought I can see that if people had a different /spawn maybe they would be more inclined to build at that location..

what I mean is that beyond the first arrival /spawn dose not mean much. or dose it?

Changing the spawn is merely a suggestion to build out there. Once a spawn gets a subway connection, it becomes a compulsion to the builders. How can they resist such prime billing?

Don't give the existing user's the new spawn locations?
But, building in the spawn locations is inevitable. You know what gave me even more reason to stay here and build with you guys? That huge donkey kong, the dinosaur, and Rupture! I mean cmon. These are things I relate with and that attract me.

I think we are going in the right direction. but we need to organize all these ideas into something that works... looks like no one else has any thought on other location for a new spawn. so soon I will be closing this thread and we will make our choice. if you have any thing else to say please do so. just keep in mind this conversation has almost reach its apex.
