Build 2?

[Dutchmerc]

Most of you know what build 2 was going to become: an RP server.
After most of our hard work got deleted by Towny, lots of people were confused if the plans to make it an RP server were still on.

I still want build 2 to become an RP server and I think lots of other (dedicated) build 2 players want to know as well.

Some of the things that annoy me at the moment on build 2:
- People building way over the top things
- Regulars building shitty things everywhere
- Unclear rules
- People building things, next to other people's builds, not asking permission/not cleaning up afterwards.

If this is still going to be an RP server we need clear rules of what and what we cannot do.
If this is going to be a regular build server we need clear rules as well.

Some of the things that annoy me at the moment on build 2:

There are annoying things happening. I agree.

- People building way over the top things

There's not a good way really to stop this.

- Regulars building shitty things everywhere

Why we should have build flags so that people can't build at all unless allowed.

- Unclear rules

Real problem is people making new ones.

- People building things, next to other people's builds, not asking permission/not cleaning up afterwards.

This has been happening a lot. Best solution is to region big areas.

OPs and Admins can build in regioned areas.

[matt000024]

Yes, but if they're a good OP they'll check for regions using the string tool first.

In order for our town to have ANY use at all and being able to go live, we need a town management mod, I dont want to add someone who require just a home into the region so he can grief the shit out of it.

I think roleplay could work on Build2 if . . .

Once the towns have been built and regioned, the server then goes legit.
And .. only towns get regioned, not individual builds..
This should encourage people to join a town and prevent greifing from someone not in their town region.

I think the only OP/Admin power allowable after RP starts should be regioning.
This includes no creative mode for EVERYONE on the Build2 server after RP starts.

This is my opinion on Build2 RP.

Well we also need important trade routes, imperial forts, etc regioned. WE should just disable building outside of regions unless given a flag by an OP.

I disagree. We need someone to oversee it all. Add quests for rare items, deal with PvP and griefing issues, etc. I think a local chat mod is more important. That way we don't spam up chat with a conversation about a quest.

Towny was actually supposed to deal with most of the problems.

-people building on top of things
Towny solves this by allowing people to build in protected regions.

-regulars building shitty things everywhere
Well there's 2 problems there and towny would solve one of them, and at least mostly solve the other. I believe the idea was to require that regulars build in towns, created by the towny plugin. This would organize where things were built.
As for building crappy structures, usually these are people who only play for a bit then just leave and never come back. Towny regens things when owners don't pay upkeep(when they abandon it). Again, this would require that people build in towns only.

-unclear rules
Simple solution to this one... MAKE SOME.

-people building things next to other buildings/not asking permission/not cleaning up afterwards
Towny protects towns automatically, so this wouldn't be a problem


you can probably tell that I like the idea of towny. The one problem you guys had was when it destroyed your towns because you forgot about upkeep. Remember this, or turn it off and it's a great plugin right?

One more suggestion. There either needs to be a rule, or plugins need to be setup to enforce this. Structures should be built only in towns and deleted by ops if they are not in a town.

[matt000024]

I still don't see what Towny is doing that benefits us that regioning can't.

[JackFlash]

If Build2 is to be RP .. and regulars are not allowed to free build there own place .. then this server will have to be PRIVATE until ready for RP.

As long as regs can join the server they will try to build there own places.
It's extremely heartbreaking and discouraging to see something you put days into raped by an OP simply because it isn't part of an established town.

Close the door and don't let unauthorized builders on until ready.

Also, once towns are setup , what is the procedure for a reg to join a town and be able to build?
