Projects and Creations / Community Rail Project and Protected Wilderness Areas
« on: September 28, 2012, 04:23:58 am »
I am curious if people would be into creating a rail system starting near the spawn area that has routes to all the major communities. Maybe this is something that could be free for everyone to use if they are trusted or above?
Even though we can warp to different places, I think a rail system would give people a better sense of where things are in relation to each other which might lead to more appreciation for overall Composition and help people not just build as randomly. A rail system might also be a fun/interesting way to see (and showcase) different peoples work.
I think another thing that would be cool is to identify and create Protected Wilderness Areas in various places in the map. This way some of the "Natural" landscape is preserved, which can lend to a better sense of place and visual style for different projects and communities. Also if there are any particularly interesting cave/mine systems that are full of monsters and such, it might make for an interesting destination.
I've only started playing on SMP for the last couple days, so if these ideas have already been discussed and thought about let me know. If people think either of those ideas sound fun or worthwhile, I'd be into helping out.
