  1. Good. This should decrease the number of people using x-ray.

  2. Xrayers Xray to find ores as quick as possible, Even though Wastelands will make it easier to mine places, they will still want to get 32 diamond ore in 5 mins which is only possible with xraying.

    Ban the xrayers!

  3. It will also decrease the number of griefers because they will be able to get resources from the wastelands instead of stealing it from others :)

  5. The x-rayers know that they would be banned if someone found out they were using x-ray and most of them don't like using x-ray because of that reason but it is hard to get ores in the wilderness and they want them. A lot of them also are aware that there are plugins people have made to find x-rayers but are unsure whether the server has any on it. So because of the easier-ness of finding ores, they won't be as COMPELLED to using x-ray.

  7. One little detail.

    The wastelands will send you to a random outpost, and now so will the Frontier...
    We will have the same frontier spawns for now so if you need to go to a certain one, use the portals to get there (and we might setup the 4 portal pods at each outpost too to make it simpler in meantime), but this is to help preserve the frontier too, as everyone knows people are still going to mine there, so by spreading out the people going there, it should reduce the damage.

  9. You should make x-ray possible and make an Auto Banhammer :3

  10. Question: how much quarrying at spawn would be allowed without it being considered griefing?

  11. Oh, you and your quarries and lava walls and such.

  12. Well, lava walls obviously won't work, people like to be able to access worlds on the community they play on.

    The quarrying I would suggest would be a staircase quarry surrounding the spawn, which goes down, then goes back up, meaning I get stone and ores, and everyone else gets access. The steps would be 3 blocks in length, making it impossible to run and jump to whittle away at one's health and kill oneself. Only way it would be ruined would be if other people dig random holes and others fall in, but that happens anyway, quarry or not.

  13. Yay! The wait was well worth it! Thank you for taking the time to make it good rather than rushing the update.

  15. The true reason for it taking so long is that I have barely coded in the past 2 weeks... Too much personal stuff going on, stuff I honestly want to go do right now, but working on EMC instead... :)

    When stuff is manual its really taxing on us and makes us not want to do it... But when its as simple as 1 command, we won't have any problems triggering resets.

    If this wastelands setup was done manually, It would likely take 1hour per server to do... And none of us want to spend an entire saturday doing grunt work.
