Mayor (Only one - this is the zone owner): Felix_De_Kat

Approximate dimensions: 88,149m (302x262+95x95)

Number of active residents: 2

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings: 63 (so far)

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any:

• On the Outside of the walls (along the canal side):
  Re-landscaping some of the smaller mountains a making a palm tree surround
• On the inside:
  Re-landscaping to accommodate Large styled Pillars across the top of the wide front walls, 4 further farms, 1x Large Temple, beautification, ornamental garden and relaxation areas

Why should we grant this city protection?
I am developing the City in the Guest World so that guests and members alike can visit and take in the sights of a (my second) Egyptian Styled Cities but again, this City has grown out of proportion and covers a massive area that is beyond the means of protection (I already have over 120 Coal, 12 Lapis and 7 Diamond pstones trying to protect areas of most importance (including the outer walls & the lava areas (sphinx eyes)).
I have had a few minor instances of grief (someone took a liking to my Lapis & blue woolen blocks and decided to strip the place bare - To his demise)

Hello,

Seem to be having a problem at the moment staying on the server... I log in to the game and in to the server, but as soon as I get there (or within minutes) Minecraft crashes and throws up a report which I must admit, looking at baffles the hell out of me... Can anyone decipher it and does it suggest anything untoward??:


Thanks

Arenae City: Meaning "Sand" is a small City built on an Egyptian theme and just a stones throw from the SouthWest Warp easily recognisable by its large sand & sandstone walls enclosing the delights of its tranquil gardens and prominent Pyramid which open out to the residential areas, shops & market stalls, public baths and eventually the docks and sea.

Information regarding Arenae City:


SEE IMAGES:

The houses have been designed to try to imitate and represent the hustle and bustle of a small city centre surrounded with market squares (which are maintained by some residents), fountains, monuments and a shop. Further inside the 'inner walls' is the City Hall with its office and instructions on what life is like inside the city.

SEE IMAGES:

The Main Shop sells primarily edible items, or items that are grown, such as:

At present all houses are rent only due to a turnover of people joining (& leaving) Opticraft and a desire of not being left with a 'ghost town' and also due to some overlapping protection stones
Sorry, but we are not accepting any more residents at this time

Visitors are more than welcome (although the interior of some buildings are off limits).
The Arena Dome was removed due to ps stone issues and replaced with large open garden areas.
As all of the building has been done solely by me, expansion progresses at a slow, but steady rate.

Visit us by either visiting "/warp Southwest" or jump directly to the City Hall by "/home Felix_De_Kat"

I use a slightly modified (& mixed) version of both Ornate 5_03 & Johnsmiths

ps... just to clarify:
"modified" = The Glass Blocks have had the centers of them cleared away with only an outer frame visible - Tools & Weapons changed & 'some' other items, like redstone/minecart track/torches etc (using Photoshop)
"mixed" = The mobs (animals/monsters/npc's) from 1 pack have replaced the boring (in my opinion) standard mobs
to make a better and more realistic environment

Thank you for taking the time to view my (small) City information page.

Hello everyone.

I've been working tirelessly on developing a city near to the [/Warp SouthWest] that has an Egyptian Theme to it.

So far it has:

• 9 Houses, 7 of which are occupied (Including the Main Pyramid(My House))
• 1 Shop
• Public Baths
• A Dock
• A Spleef Arena (Not useable yet)
• A Large Farming Area (including Wheat, Pigs, Cows, Sheep & Chickens)
• A private subway system
• Residents Gardens

and

• A large area where I'll be making more smaller structures inside the walls.

Now.... The problem is that I'm soooo busy creating things to go inside the city that I've just run out of space in my tiny head to think of a name for the place.... This is where hopefully you can come in...

Have a look at the pictures, or even come and visit [/home Felix_De_Kat], Remember the Egyptian Theme and see if you can come up with a suitable name for the place...

Once all Entries are in, a decision will be made and the person who comes up with the name will receive $5,000 (in-game currency)

(Edit: Competition Ends This Friday 12 August 2012 (unless I cant decide and then I'll put up a vote))

By the way, if you're wondering what Texture Pack I use, It's a slightly modified Ornate Pack link here
