Added Fourth Option

City of Guilds

I've never set up a server before but what if we made a backup server right before we update? We could just tell everyone the new server if the update ruins the current map. I don't know if that works but thats my 2 cents.

Ok so with permission from Port and Quin I am going to be making a youtube channel for Aceon. What I plan to do is get the server out there more for one. The videos on there will be little fly bys (with the admins help) and make little "montages" of each faction when they are done and to start off the channel I will make a promotion video with short clips of each faction whether completed or not. I will just simply film what parts are done. So this is kind of like a kick to the butt saying get your factions done and start getting them done soon. I will be recording the footage in the no show option using F1 and Fraps. I will put them together to the best of my ability using Sony Vegas. I will temperarily be taking suggestion for the background image for the channel but I would like to make an edited screenshot of  as many factions as I can once I'm done with a current project I'm doing at school using Photoshop (making dvd covers for out Boys and Girls basketball season. It will be awhile since I'm on the boys team and am trying to make it look as good as I can). If there is anything I missed feel free to ask and if you like this idea please comment saying so. Also, still need the A Ok from the admins.

Yes, this is a good idea, but be sure to give both me and Port the username and password for the channel.

Also, no one is going to be getting creative mode for any reason, even filming.  You will have to do it from a regular player's point of view.

Will do and can do. Although it will take away the effect a little bit without just flymod but I will make it work none the less. I will make it in a couple days and then I will give you guys the password and email for it.

I'll do my best. But it will be a couple days before I create it then a day or two only (hopefully) until the first video is up which will be about Aceon as a whole (the one with segments of all factions)
So I need EVERYONE to try their hardest to get as much as their faction done as possible or at least one part.

Viosk is actually done.  Funny how the factions abusing creative mode still aren't done, while the only one that isn't, is.

What use does a knight have for nature magic?  You already have fullplate and heavy weapons, do you really need more?
If you are serious about using this magic, give the different spells/vine abilities a mana cost.  I don't want to see Iron Vines that are "able to stab through almost anything" not having any sort of cost or drawback.

You are right, we have a couple empty house plots for sale ready for new people to build in, but other than that the city is complete, and has everything it needs.

It's nice to hear that people are for it!

I voted for city of guilds because the server needs something new. But the server will need something new in the future again and this is why we have to keep changing it. We can never stick to one theme otherwise the server grows stale and dies. This is what happens to most other servers, except with minecraft it's easier to constantly change things and we should use this to our advantage. But we need to avoid themes that didn't work such as Ermor, and perhaps in the future we can continue to work on other options that had a potential to work. Like the free faction system we have now that works quite well to an extent.

My opinions on what will make this work better:
-Factions should be given the same freedoms they have with the free faction system aslong as they keep to their allotted space
-No Ermor rules about having only one job or sales being set as it was what most people moaned about
-Events should be arranged, like we had the explorers guild in Ermor, to get us to travel out and discover undiscovered locations that could somehow link in to the storyline. I also suggest some sort of city defence event.
-The city should not be on lockdown and there should be more than one exit.

That's really the most of it, taking it on board is up to you. However I also have a question: will the districts have to have walls? I'm thinking that some districts may just want an open area if that's possible.

TL;DR Opinions: Each map wipe needs an almost opposite of the spectrum change to create new opportunities. Cit of Guilds option provides this change for this map wipe but may have unseen flaws. Although I want to try it out anyway :P
Awesomeness is the best trait one can have

Have fun building all the defenses, which will be 4-6 times the size/amount of Ermor.   -_-
