Exactly what relkeb said, this is a survival server not a creative server. People seem to think that they are going to be given huge plots of land and the blocks to be able to build huge projects but that is what a creative server is for. Survival servers are all about surviving, so you will see small log houses and builds that look crappy. And it is way more fun to try and survive in a mountainous terrain. I don't want to walk on flat lands the whole time, they are unappealing and boring. Mountains are exciting and make you want to explore them.

Exactly.

And what will people do after viewing our mountains and creating their dirt hut?

My view of survival vs creative minecraft 1.0 servers, is the method of getting the materials, not which buildings that get built!

Umm maybe survive?

I'm not saying that great buildings shouldn't be built, im saying that is not the point of survival therefore we should not focus on it.

ok, ppl you knoiw what?
let's get a seed with flat land around spawn and rought terrain around that flat area

Sounds good! Make sure it's zoned, though. Or not, if you don't mind people digging around it.

That is not even an argument.

Start building their own ones, join a city, try making money. Anything that won't bore them, and cause them to leave.

Its not intended to be an argument. Its the same question you posed but from a different perspective.

Optical whats your opinion, you haven't said much

Morten, if survival is about making great builds, then why is it called survival?

I say we have a variety, mountains for people that want to survive, and flatter lands for people that want to build.

Name some servers where people come on every day, having fun just surviving. This is a community, it should be based on something sustainable.


I would also like to insert my orginal statement.

I am not saying to remove every aspect of the natural elements, just not as drastic as they are now. and there is possible for some mountains, yes. But as it is now, there are almost no "flat"lands, just a bunch of mountaintops with some less than decent buildings on them.

I know of a great one, it is called the opticraft beta server, you should try it out.

Can we just go with Tobs suggestion? I liked it.
