Interbane:
What I mean is, there are very few parameters on what's possible to build. You can build anything you can dream of, from fantastical dystopian sci-fi landscapes to scenes from Lord of the Rings, upside down fortresses, MC Escher style buildings, etc.
But for some reason, people's creative horizon extends no further than re-creating the real world. Even when the sky is the limit(figuratively), you find towns that look Podunk USA. Why build the eiffel tower when you can build a fantastical wizard's tower?
Another quirk of minecraft that I find annoying is that people build walls around the cities, just like in real life. What are you protecting against? An unexpected zombie apocalypse? There are benefits, I understand, but no wall will keep out a determined griefer unless it has city protection, in which case the point is moot.
I love "aesthetic" walls, built to look good in an artful fashion. But throwing up a wall of cobblestone is a form of grief in my book. It's ugly, anyone can do it, and it almost always results in more real estate being consumed than is necessary. Which is bad in a game where sustainable access to undeveloped real estate is required for a healthy server.

Ah ok I understand what you mean
Interbane:
Techdude, you're accepted. I'll check out your work when I'm online tonight. I'm sure there's a large plot that will suit your fancy.
FNVcourierjon(SigilStone):
Ok I've decided that I want a medium plot.
