Actually since there is a world limit on the server now, the wall would only have to extend just so far.
so there is an actuall end of the world that you could like… fall off of? :o
looks like the spanish had it right in the 13th century? 
Lol, no it is something that prevent’s you from walking further and generating more land. This keeps the server’s ram down so it costs less to run it.
With a wall we can put names like creative.
Sounds about right to me. I also think the idea of a linked chat is MUCH better than the idea of a single map. It would accomplish our goal of bringing the community together without all of the extra worries of Survival and Creative being so conflicting. Though I can see a linked chat being difficult to, I’m not sure how that’d work.
mfw all these huge posts and planning procedures
Apologies, I was just adding what we had so far together, as I know for a fact that some things will get lost/forgotten as this thread extends.
I want to rejoin PCB–I haven’t been on since August. Most of the points made in the thread look good, though I don’t see much problem with advertising on the MC Forums. Which places would we advertise at if not the MC Forums?
Dayshade
Let me just say last time we advertised on mcforums it was a huge mess. Staff was not trained for that many people, and in general was a mess.
But we do need to advertise, if we don’t then this population will continue to decrease. And that is a sad fact.
I suggest we make a separate discussion on how we are going to advertise. Its a lot easier than just talking about different subjects in this thread.
so, rename this one other, new topic for advertisement, new topic for event planning discussions, and staff shit in staff?
First off. Before we advertise we must Fix/reinstall Alot of plugins. And once that is done, I will go through and check and make sure each one of them works. From their we’ll will look for a place to advertise. I have some places in mind due to the fact that i have been helping setting up some servers and noticing wich places the advertise, and how many players they get per day/ greifers per day. I say we advertise for maybe 1 day a week/month on those locations. Please note that these are not FORUMS, but server lists. If anyone here would like to post an advertisment on a Forum or server list. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT DO IT. Leave the advertising to the SOPS+.
100th Post. 
Now back to the actual TOPIC please.
+1. If the plugins/mods are faulty than we are screwed. I shall also post this is the staff post when made but we should also train newer staff members how to handle large increases in popularity. That way we don’t repeat the last mess :/. 300 Posts!!! Yay
sniff beautiful speech we need something to bond together like instead of working by ourselves actually set up group projects and get as many people needed like when your working on your building of your city the other person can build another building instead of a different city.
Can we please stop repeating information, I know this has been said already, but keep this thread to new ideas, move old ones into a new thread if needing further discussion. I may try to clean this thread up.
Though I would like to comment on the training of staff for population increase. I think there should be a select few that actually do the training. People that have experienced more traffic should be the only ones allowed. That means that just because you’ve been on PCB for a while, does not give you the right to train people for that. K time for new thread.
Hi everyone. First of all sorry for not being on at all these last few months. I have been working full time and doing full time uni so there hasn’t been much time for anything else.
Just letting you all know that BOTH servers have been paid for another 6 months as of last week $300 
Combining both servers may sound good, but we would need twice the RAM and cpu power on the one server. The bad news is doubling the ram and cpu is more than twice as expensive.
However some of you want the one server to bring it back to the way it was pre 1.9. What if we made the survival server the main server, with flying allowed and a full economy. Build rights would be members+ only. The creative server could be our second server that anyone could join and play on and to host all our event. While we want to attract new members, the time required to police them is immense, and removing their build rights on one of the servers not only encourages people to sign up, but lowers amount of time cleaning up the place.
With the servers updating to 1.2, we need to make a list of plugins that we absolutely need. Quite a few of the plugins are rarely used or just for novelty purposes. This will help us to update faster and keep the server running stable.
In regards to world edit, I am all for giving permission as long as we put a cap on the number of blocks that can be changed at a time. The only reason the servers are more stable than they have been are because they haven’t crashed from someone doing a massive word edit change (ie 100,000 blocks, or stressing the water physics).
Implementing all of this will take time, and unfortunately andy and I do not have much spare time at the moment.
But keep suggesting new ideas, and we can make this server great again!
I actually think we should build better stuff.
Better towns and shops and whatnot.
Stop players from building crappy homes in the middle of no where and abandon them and let them rot away and screw up the landscape.
Build actual machines.
^Lots of players apparently know about redstoning but never actually contribute to building things in the server.
Advertising the IP is a shaky idea, sometimes it will cost money to put your IP on websites like those.
