The following are a couple of suggestions which (to me) could improve the current state of the server. Some suggestions are bigger than others, but I feel that they can all go a long way to make the gameplay and general community better:
Spawn:
The idea of spawn is really nice; three levels, one with the castle, and two with noble plots. This isn't a significant issue, but it would be nice if the lowest level of the spawn was decorated a bit more. You know, a couple of trees here and there, maybe some more NPCs (which ARN'T stuck somewhere in the ground!
), to give it the same feel as the higher areas of the city. This is just to make it all look nice because, at the moment, it's a little deserted, so walking around is a little depressing.
I feel that this would give people more incentive to actually buy a noble plot. At the moment, the surroundings arn't very good looking, so i'd imagine people not wanting to build something there. It would be good if there were more noble plots too; to make the area more populated/crowded.
Kingdoms:
Currently, we're seeing the formation of a few kingdoms (LO, RoV, TCK, ect). Other than getting a huge (but most likely unused) region, towns have no real reason to go for a kingdom. I think kingdoms should get some benefits, such as:
- The chance to make one town in the region non-pvp.
- A graveyard somewhere in the region.
- Maybe a couple of MOB spawners/arenas.
- An open gate to the Nether, which never expires (unless the kingdom falls apart, ect).
Again, just a few suggestions. Some are rather extreme, but i'm just throwing around ideas here. It's just that, at the moment, why bother with kingdom? Or [City], [Capitol] even? Most towns don't need the space, and it just increases the amount of tax you have to pay.
Beds:
Yes, the ''do not speak of such thing'' suggestion returns again. The reasons to bring back beds are listed here; http://www.herocraftonline.com/main/threads/bring-back-bed-spawning.26385/page-4.
One point made in the previous thread was that bed spawning would return if a solution to bed camping could be found. Kainzo said he'd work on something like that, but I have not heard anything. I personal don't feel that bed camping is much of an issue itself, BUT, presuming it is; why not something like ''/remove bed location'', which would reset your death spawn point back into Bastion, rather than somewhere in which you would be killed again and again.
This would help those who are constantly being murdered, or are stuck in a location with no redstone/players to port/help them out. Bed spawning would thus only occur if someone is AFK killed (unless someone WANTS to be killed, ha ha). This, really, can never be solved. But still, I thought the ''no.1'' rule of HC was to ''never go AFK''. However, I don't see many people AFKing since the ''You sense something evil approaching'' was introduced, so I don't believe it would happen too often.
Dynamic Map/Museum Maps:
These two have been long waited for by the playerbase. It's awesome that we can see the map again, ESPECIALLY all the previous maps! However, there is always room for improvement. While a constant-updating map is unlikely, it would be nice if we had an update on the current one. Also, now that the multiverse works, it would be awesome to see a return of the museum maps. I know some players want to check out their old buildings, for future use, and all.
So... that is it. As you can see, some suggestions arn't very much, just small things to make the server more fun. I think each suggestion should be considered, at least, and responses from some admins/mods would be nice, especially Danda, Angyles and Kainzo, who are the most active. I'd like to discuss the whole thing with everyone, really, just to see if we can reach some agreement as to what goes on (I know some of the suggestions i've made are rather controversial).
