General Discussion / Seeing a lot of issues.
« on: November 16, 2012, 08:37:50 pm »
  I just joined, and I'm already seeing some glaring issues with the server.

  I walked around for about a half an hour, and found a lot of destroyed property, with what looked like someone was strolling around with stacks of tnt and dirt.  This tells me that griefing is not stopped as quickly as it should be.

  I also found many things built that are just eyesores to new players, many close to the spawn area.  These could cause new players to get out of the spawn and immediately leave the server.  It shows very little regulation in the builds.  I know that the main reason for this is because it is a public server, but you have put too much work into the server to allow new members to not want to play.

  Lastly, the protection stone idea seems very difficult to learn.  I have seen other servers that only have chest protection, or have no actual build protection and they run a lot better.  Protection of property can be an issue, since you need to learn the sizes of areas that the different stones protect.  Also, using ores as protection allows for a high chance of glitching, since those ores are naturally occurring.  I started the game with one a coal protection stone, and had no idea why I had it or what it did.  This needs to be made obvious from the start of the game.

  I, personally, would be more willing to play on a whitelisted server if it meant a little more regulation in what is built and people getting banned quickly when they greif.

  That's just how I see it.  I know that there are a lot of people like how the server is run, but I see no fun in it as it is right now.
