Because of the PvP list command. Once one person goes in it, anyone who wants to kill them can see and TP there. And especially if you let on in chat that you're there, people will come. The fact is that /world is just too small to do anything but small PvP fights, which are great, but the size doesn't allow it to serve as a real server hub.

Back when guys like Xestia and Gnato were active, the pvp world was pretty dangerous. Seemed like they were psychic, as the instant you /world-ed, they'd be on you in a minute. They must have been doing /pvplist every five minutes or so it seemed.

But nowadays I can pretty much broadcast in public chat that I'm in the pvp world and nobody will mess with me. Personally, I would prefer a lot more danger. On an anarchy server there should be a downside to using the "easy" means of trade- using /world to do it. Just last week I left about four double chests of ender pearls, a bunch of enchanted diamond gear, etc. Met zero resistance as I gathered and moved it all between accounts. I've left chests of valuables/ went afk in the pvp world for hours, no problem. It really isn't that dangerous any more.

Maybe there should be a /subscribepvp command, or something, that alerts you when someone does /world.

I think a scoreboard showing players inside the pvp world would be better. (If a lot of people are going to /world it could make the chat hard to read)

That's a good idea Melvin. Maybe we could have some kind of weekly or monthly contest like the hardcore server. It could be like a very low maintenance event that doesn't require an admin to be on.

But I still think there should be a bigger /world too. We need different kinds of player interaction, not just pure PvP.

How about take the /pvp world away entirely? It'd make the server stick to it's anarchy characteristics more and possible make players move closer to spawn.

How would that solve anything?

By readding a huge disadvantage to living far from spawn, thereby making players move closer to spawn.

As abandoned as /world is now I doubt it'll make anyone move closer. Though we can try
