The Benefits of Joining a Peaceful Town

    I can see why a person would join a PVP town, but why join a Peaceful town?

    Characters can use /home, so the ability to use a town's warp can't be the reason.

    No matter where your house is located, it's protected by the server's anti-griefing rules, so gaining special towny block-protections can't be the reason.

    Towns often have public farms for their residents to use, but you must harvest the crops yourself and replant - it's not like the mayor fills a chest in your house with melon slices every morning. You may as well till the soil and make your own melon farm.

    Is the main attraction being near other builders? If so, why not save yourself the price of a plot and simply build near a town?

    I'm curious about this.

    If you want to extol the virtues of joining your town, please do so.

    Or if you tried living in towns but no longer bother, also post.

    Thanks.

    u can grief everywhere, u just have to replace the blocks
    not to mention awesome towns like Pine Square offer services to help you out and protect ur goods! (its no illegal ways, I'm just not gonna tell you so u don't try to break in)

    A person without a town can use /cprivate on a chest to make their goods safe, so there's no reason to join a town for access to their super-secret room under a lake of lava or whatever.

    Well, a lot of towns charge taxes and charge for a plot, so if you don't become a resident of a town, you'll have more money to spend on chest protections.

    Would you drive a car without an engine?

    Would you eat a peanut butter and jelly samich without the jelly?... OR PEANUT BUTTER??!!!!

    Would you get an iPHONE without a touchscreen??!!!!

    NO

    Thats kind of what its like when joining a PVP server and NOT being apart of the PVP.

    Soon as ya'll are ready to take off your skirts you will know what map the big boys play on. Til then ;)

    I don't play in PVP because most of the disputes in Finger Pointing or just in general between players starts from pvp. I have been on a lot of hardcore PVP servers and I never enjoyed the constant bad feelings between all the players. I play Minecraft for what it was originally intended for, building.
