Re: Portals: A replacement for the pvp world

So if diamonds are paid relative to the distance the portal transports you, will they work like nether portals? That is, will the player simply build one and then pay a certain amount of diamonds to activate the portal and upon stepping through a second portal will be created as the 'exit' ?

Re: Portals: A replacement for the pvp world

One diamond block sounds like a pittance for that kind of convenience. Would be a better balance if the entire portal was diamond blocks or activating it consumed a diamond block. Handing out a welcome basket isn't hand holding, it's a way to say welcome aboard, glad you're here, have some chicken. ...

Re: Portals: A replacement for the pvp world

[/quote]first of all, it doesn't matter that I'm not being forced to use one or not. The point of the matter is how it impacts normal game play, not how it personally effects a player. This entire idea is essentially the entire purpose of the Nether minus the danger of the Nether. It's already fine ...

Re: Portals: A replacement for the pvp world

It's not like anyone is forcing you to use these portals should they be implemented anymore than anyone is forced to do /world. I don't think I would be terribly keen on having an instantaneous gateway leading right to my base so I probably wouldn't build one. It would be unfortunate if the /world w...

Re: Portals: A replacement for the pvp world

They sound a lot like how nether portals operate without the disincentive of having to run through a long nether tunnel to reach the destination portal. It takes about 30 mins of running while under the effects of speed II potions in the nether to cover about 12500 blocks (100k overworld distance). ...

Re: Easy way to increase community

One other thing might be to treat the player as super lazy. When someone types in /vote instead of linking to the server lists web page, list the links in-game so players can copy paste them into their browser. If material rewards are against the spirit of the server, maybe a fireworks display follo...

Re: Easy way to increase community

I've only been here a couple of days but I like what I'm seeing. Votes will drive up the visibility of the server on whatever ranking site the server is registered with. When people search for anarchy servers, there's no reason why Simplicitypvp.net shouldn't be in the top 10. The server's age is a ...
