Yay! Just as a personal aside, though, I like the Asian theme as it celebrates an ancient culture, but please don't go hyper-asian or over-stereotypical with things that some Asian players might find borderline racist. What I mean is just don't blend China, Korea, Japan, etc. all together and call it the same.

I'm sure you'll be bothered if you're white to have people interpret that all white people are blonde and eat pasta and salad. Literally, that's what my mother says, and it irks me that to see her term for Caucasian is "blonde people".

Thanks! :D
p.s. I'm Chinese. :P

Well I was thinking we could do North Korea, Japan, China and stuff all mixed together and call it Rasion World. Then we all wear slit-eye'd avatars and dance around huts of bamboo.

Ok, so, a few ideas all just jumped out at me regarding this and I want your opinions.

So, we make the spawn area in flat. This would mean that new builders would not struggle to find an area to build and since the flatworld is like a massive toilet of "stuff" nobody would mind whether there is half build stuff everywhere.

After thinking about this I remembered the other day. Myself and a couple of friends flying around the server on both worlds and one says about how disappointing it is to see half built stuff and how every good thing I show him tends to be surrounded in half built pixel art and whatnot.

Now, what I propose is that the spawn point is in a new, clean part of flat. (Alternatively this could be a closed off area with some sort of teleportation to flat)
It would have exits to each area/world on the server and would look really nice with gay pandas.

Here is the extra bit...only Apprentices and above can build in the regular terrain. (anyone can visit)

This could have many drawbacks but could also have many benefits including (but not limited to):
  • I feel this would weed out any griefers on this world. That would mean nothing would have water on it, be half destroyed or have random trees growing out of it.
  • It would allow members to create buildings in a more natural landscape and have freedom with a large area land for each project.
  • It would be great if we want to start group projects using a certain theme over a large distance to make something truly impressive.
This wont greatly bolster the overall quality of the buildings in the area but not only would it create a "nicer" creative environment, it would also give a proper reward for people who have earned the "apprentice" rank. This wouldn't discriminate against good and bad builders because I personally feel everyone is capable of earning the rank and by doing show they hopefully show they are prepared to finish things and above all respect others creations.

Rules would be the same with the exception that World Edited areas and Voxel Sniping would be more strictly monitored.
I swear to god...one square and.....

Anyway, that's all i got on my tonight. Better go and make waffle happy and have a mayonnaise sandwich.

I love that idea Tom.
Apprentice and above ranks on the main world.
It gives more of a feeling of reward for getting upgraded to apprentice too. And we could make it very very clear how to upgrade your rank.
At the moment it feels like there is no emphasis whatsoever on upgrading ranks. It's almost like the regular greens don't even know that you can get an upgrade.


A wall of information on exactly how to get upgraded. It will put a fresh bit of life back into creative, and give a lot of newcomers a sense of welcoming.
