Plot Sizes

I constantly read posts in the different town boards that it's tough to recruit a good amount of people because not a lot of people are too enthused to join a town. The main reason being the sizes of plots. Towny charges 1600r for a plot that is 16x16 (a chunk). This very small, cramped space limits creativity tremendously and turns people off of joining a town. I don't know if this size could be changed, but if it can, it needs to be. 32x32 sounds better to me.

 

Just have em buy 4 plots Voting every day more than pays for the plot taxes and you get all the room you need. I have 16 plots in Forgotten Cliff, I like to spread out!

 

i give my people previously built houses, or charge them 600-2000r depending on size and locstion ;D

 

Max the plot shift wont matter anyway. 1.2 you better reset the map son. 264 map height makes some boss mountains. Wkd not very many towns offer 4 plots in a square next to each other. Still proves my point though. New people who join the server don't have that kind of money so it takes longer for them to get into a town. Why pay 6400 for a plot when you could build in the wilderness next to the town and have no hindrance of space? Not like town protections protect people from anything. If you're griefed all you have to do is snap your fingers and an admin rolls it all back and bans somebody.

 

This is a good idea imo

 

when 1.2 comes out and I get to see the new terrain generation I'll make a poll for that. I think lower plot prices would be a good compromise for the moment.

 

there just adding a jungle.. is it going to be like the moo moo land?

 

the map height is going up to 264 subway. That means gargantuan mountains.

 

I thought that while sky height would raise, geographic height would not

 

The entire world is doubled in height, the underground is doubled in depth and the surface is doubled in height, meaning deeper cave systems, possibly more ores, more mountains and taller mountains.

 

that means we will have to dig twice as deep to go mining lol

 

i wonder if lava and all the other stuff will change. diamonds found 1-30.

 

it would be interesting to see the worlds start fresh, all towns gone. Then we'll have to rebuild our empires, Bigger, stronger and better looking! Not saying that we should do it though, because that would probably cause alot of people to just up and quit the server.

 

THATS IT! we can replace the vanilla world with a 1.2 world!

 

Lol, I rage quit the vanilla server after I died. I was like Fuuuuu

 

well maybe we could for a week (so everyone can see it) go around a 1.2 world in creative and see everything. take pictures and share it with everyone.

 

Lol nope, the sea level is still on 64, theres just 128 more blocks of height, which means even bigger mountains and no deeper cave systems

Aww that makes me sad, I wanted deeper caves and digging.

 

I would be ok for a reset as long as I would get my town back

The added plot hight could be awesome for a massive spawn

although

if you think about it, even if we don't change the seed wouldn't the height be the same as it would if we reset it?

 

A reset would be tough, but if towns got money to buy back their town and the same amount of plots, I think it would have a much better approval rating.
