    What additions/changes do you think should be made to the new spawn? Personally I'd like to see bridges connecting all of the islands besides the guest area ofc.

    Before you decide to post something, make sure you read QuietSea's long post later down the thread.

    What I think was good about the old spawn was the exploration. It had a guest spawn, events, and then a whole lot of other buildings, sewers and that to explore. Now there's just the guest spawn/quiz, hub and events on their separate islands, so you can't just run around and explore it.

    What about doing something new with peaceful spawn? Have buildings and such to explore, and then maybe even make it an open town so people can live there. We could make plenty of areas to explore, and it'd be good for new players who want to have protected land and live in a town

    Before anyone posts more, read this first.

    Okay, here we discuss what we can add to the new spawn. I was going to post this before sharq decided to go ahead and do it, but appearently he just decided to post it publicly and now it's turned into more of a roast of the new spawn so far rather than constructive advice on what there should be added with people saying it should be redone, it lacks dedication, or the typical "i liked cerb's spawn better." Yeah I'm a little butthurt about those comments, but you shouldn't sweat over the ignorance because I know about the long and difficult hours of at least trying to get a new spawn that satisfies everyone's wants. If you really think there should be a new spawn, great. Good for you. Go build another one for the server, and I'm sure everyone would be more than willing to use it. As for other people actually offering constructive advice for what we should include for the spawn, thank you.

    Clearly if you thought we were all done with this new spawn, you are sadly mistaken. We are always going to be adding more to it.

    Now that we got that out of the way. Let's talk about adding more to the spawn. I built it so that there would be infinite amount of things you can add on. It's an ocean world, so you can add infinite amounts of islands to it. That's what makes it so versatile and simple, people are able to get around it more easily and it's less oppressive than having giant buildings leaning over you when you first join the server. Yes we can get dragons flying in the sky, yes we can add more organic statues, and of course we can add bridges.
    • Bridges - Sounds completely pointless, but would look cool. A lot of the islands are far apart from each other and some islands have mountains that cut it off from the outside, making it almost impossible to connect a bridge to it because they are pvp arenas.
    • Statues - If you want statues, we can have people build them. I think it would be cool to have more sea creatures coming out of the water.
    • The scene of a kraken fighting a bunch of ships in a whirlpool
    • A ship at each island
    • Better terrain for islands
    • Actually get the PVP arena's working like they're supposed to. We have like 3-4 different PVP arena's not even in use right now for people to go to.
    • What happened to mob arena? A lot of people liked it and sharqman/pieman just gave up on getting it to work properly.
    • Get the events to actually work and get in more cool events.
    • I wanted to get some kind of public player market for people to go to and sell/buy stuff. I can imagine you'd be able to set up world guard regions so that people are able to place done chest shops.
    • New auctions house? Where's that? The one we have is out of place and doesn't match the theme at all.
    • New /warp bounty is still in the process of being built
    • There's a giant bedrock box precariously placed in the middle of the world that i didn't paste in. It's atrocious from the exterior and looks sloppily done.

    Bridges - Allows getting around spawn without relying on scriptblock/plugins. Feels more like exploring compared to clicking signs
    Mob arena - LWC messes with it, and sharq's ticket on the bukkit page has been unanswered for a month
    Some more events like KOTL which don't need anyone to run would be cool too.
    //replace bedrock with glass or an invisible block?

    I think the new spawn needs to be spiced up a bit, it seems a little empty/dull.

    Spiced up how? empty/dull why?
    What did you prefer in the old spawn?

    If you don't say what is wrong, we won't fix it

    It was very elaborate and there was never nothing to look at, your eyes were always drawn to some nice patterns or a huge amazing building.
    The new spawn is rather, unfinished I suppose. It just needs touching up, more islands to be filled and some more detail in some areas.

    The old spawn was more open. You could explore. This spawn is small and well feels cramped. Not much to do. In the old spawn you could get lost and have fun just exploring the nooks and crannies. Like for example if you went through the sewers you could find where we world edited at the old spawn and hid whole biomes.

    Don't think you read what I said earlier lol. I mentioned that the spawn isn't completely done and there is still a lot more to be added, which is why we're asking for suggestions. It's initial main purpose was to ensure that a new promotion system was put in place and also an alternate events system.
