Now that I like. I do have to ask though, exactly what is the Commerical/Industrial area for? Just Forges and Chests? o.O
And any structures that function as an infinite source of material: water springs, lava spring (if still possible), cobblestone forge, obsidian forge... etc.
Sadly, obsidian forge and infinite lava spring are not possible anymore.
I'm not the one that will ever be working on anything that can even look decent (I'm so bad at building good looking things, take my words for it), so I would not care about losing my work, but I'd think people would not want to lose their work over an update.
I see it this way: If you don't lose out on new features because you don't update your server (like, if say, you could not get to the Nether without starting over), then a reset seems unnecessary.
On the other hand, there's a certain appeal to start from scratch with threats around. On the other other hands, the threat is minimal to even matter.
Fighting with Paypal isn't fun either. I'm not sure what issues you ran into with your Bank, but damn. Its been weeks and now I'm STILL waiting for something (getting close though now, I'll have 20$ on my paypal account at some point)...
And I'm not even sure you can really buy Minecraft using paypal balance's money directly, it better be possible or else I'm screwed once again >-<
I have to say I don't even have Minecraft yet, still don't have my paypal account set up, running through a lot of delays and issues. A shame, but with the state the game is right now I don't want to get into it just yet annyway. Its messy and multiplayer is still too buggy for my taste. Until damage is fixed at least, you won't see me inside. I'm just not good at creating stuff, not enough to make this the only possible focus
Also we can't even get to Hell apparently, thats a bit of a shame.
Does anyone know for sure that HP will be fixed in multiplayer with this patch?
Also, will I have to create a new save with the patch or will the patch apply to an old map?
You will miss on new features. Hell will be one, biomes for any unexplored ares... Bug fixes related to health and monsters should work, though. Sadly, it would be best to make a new map after the patch.
Nothing you add in terms of game stuff can't be used against you. Unbreakable doors or blocks: Anything a griefer could just build enough of and block other people or their stuff.
The only tool against griefing is good administration. I heard about some mods that limit what people can do as well. What the game needs is just that, people that can't destroy or affect certain things or the blocks built by others, without "clearance".
Yeah, I think waiting passed the Halloween update is a good idea. There's some multiplayer fixes coming with, many are expecting it to have working monsters and health online.
I'm intrigued. I was afraid to join any server up to now because its like... always a nobody's place. But a DiabloFan server won't get that many players. Heck, I just noticed that topic now, after all this time.
Something that relies on circles too much can't really look good with huge squares, unless you make it even bigger. See Enterprise video.
That said, circles wall around the city or just around the core is not so bad. Hexagon or weird shapes would however, probably look like crap.

I know I'm not even in yet but thats my 2 cents.
