Sorrowlands returning

[Minty]

Never meant to cut it out completely, just thought there should a bit more than,
"Oi, we've got'a passerby. Les' blooded kill 'im." *Instantaneous death by god-enchanted sword*
More of a duel of discussed terms

 

[Spark]

I think the even the name "Sorrowlands" removes all kind of fair duel....

 

[Minty]

Well. Let it become what it will become, then. Simply an idea that would encourage more than
"*Instantaneous death by god-enchanted sword*"

I would prefer the Sorrowlands to be as low maintenance as possible, there's a lot of things we could be doing instead of stalking the pvp line for campers, and enforcing RP when people want to hunt resources and PVP xD.

 

[Darko]

Yay! Sorrow lands are coming back!!! YAY

I loved it there... Justshadow and I went on a huge huge adventure once... We actually went in a circle.. Embarrassing...

 

[Megadonkey30]

haha ^ right, I was just saying, it would be nice, if ye wanna pvp I personally would prefer if there was at least 10 percent Role-play to it.. but without the pvp It wouldn't feel like no law enforcement around area, and the sorrowlands have no law.. well unless a group of bandits create a kingdom and enforce it themselves... but just because the sorrowlands are not maintenanced that much, doesn't make it a free for all in my opinion..

If you dun wanna pvp travel in large groups, you ~might~ win if so..

And I believe Oguk was saying something about travel with /home and /spawn, how it shouldn't be used at all. I COMPLETELY agree with this, too many would just skip out on the chance for good, bandit-y RP in my opinion. The upcoming addition of horses and such should encourage traders to seek out customers on more-or-less traveled roads created by players, not just have a box sitting in a corner with players that right click it a few times.

Basically, what Sally just said. Not everyone has time for 'good, bandit-y RP'.

 

[Megadonkey30]

If no one wants a bandit rp then I will purposely become a bandit lord and have bandit rp's with them... just in spite .. >:}

About /home and /spawn, put a warmup on them (10 seconds). You're out of combat if you're not attacked or not moving for that period of time, so I don't see a problem why they should be totally removed.

I don't know about those that don't mine, but when I mine, I'm usually 5.000 blocks away from spawn, there's no way I'm going to walk that. Also, doing that would make people stick closer to spawn, therefor totally depleting the first 1.000 blocks from any ores whatsoever. After all, it's a resoucre world, not a pvp world, we still have to keep that in mind.

My point exactly.

 

[Brave Rubber Duck]

By the way, are we going to bring the "Eternal darkness over the Sorrowlands" idea, or have a normal day/night cycle? Please be eternal darkness, please be eternal darkness, please be eternal darkness

 

[Michcat]

Oo laa laaa~

Couldn't o' said it better myself, although I don't think /home really needs a warmup. I use it constantly throughout my resource gathering, and it would be a major bother if I had to wait every time. I don't know if it's possible, but perhaps we could put a timer on it just the first time, when going from spawn to your home?

Nooooooooo! Please, no. It's a nice idea... but I would die so much. Daytime on the surface is the only time I can be free of the buggers.

Eternal darkness would be a major hassle in a resource world; you'd never be able to grow crops above ground.

 

[SobekRa]

You grow crops above ground :O

Yes, yes; I think you grasp the idea of what I was going for, though.
I'm just trying to point out that vanilla Minecraft is designed to utilize a balanced day/night cycle.

I wouldn't mind having eternal darkness when corruption appears, as it did with the death of the last SW, but it would be best to leave the normal day/night cycle to allow for a more vanilla experience; that's one of the great benefits of the resource worlds, having them as an "escape" world for NK dwellers, isn't it?

I think the idea is to gather resouces.... Making it more dangerous by constant mob spawns therefore adding a bit of risk...

The idea of Eternal darkness would be to add a danger feeling to the land. You can easily escape bandits if we don't have a dynamic map for the Sorrowlands, and add multiple ports to spread out the population.

Also, a invisibility potion on entry / exit works wonderfully.

 

[SobekRa]

I disagree with your constant urge of making the Sorrowlands dangerous. How are the beginners supposed to gather ressources, when they come with nothing on the server, and the Sorrowlands are filled with mobs and bandits? I doubt that anyone would be happy about such a welcoming.
And why should it be made even more dangerous at all? I do not see why the majority of the playerbase has to suffer because of a few PVP lovers.
