Ok, as I'm fairly new to the Nation I want to make a small introduction of my "minecraft carreer" so far.
I've been moderator, admin and technician on several servers before I joined the nation (all of which closed down due to financial reasons sadly enough). I've build multiple server spawns and server hubs. Please keep this in mind while reading the list below
Needed for a new spawn:
* Train stations with at least 4 lines already build up to the edge of server spawn area (so we can build around the track instead of laying the track around the already build plots.
* Metro/subway around spawntown, build it in advance! So people can get around spawn quickly.
* Multiple Beacons giving haste/jumpboost and regeneration!
* A nether hub ready for a new NTN to be layed out. If possible with some portals already connected up (NESW) so people can fast travel away from spawn at the start if they wish to.
* Basic farms (Wood & Food) I would not make spawn farms for stuff like sugarcane/cactus etc (these items could become more valuable if players need to trade for them in stead of it being just available for free, think about the server economy)
* "TownHall" where people can read up on the rules (I don't think I actually need to put this here)
* Shop plots incorporated in the spawntown (if possible) The "mall" right now is fun, but having plots in the spawn town is way more interesting and it makes people travel back later when the server progresses. Also put some sort of "rent" on those shop plots, so when people go inactive for x-amount of time their balance runs out and their plot becomes available for a new player to take it over. (Just ideas, discuss them
)
* Residential plots at spawn (same as shop plots, but just for people to live in spawn. Make them expensive) If not, dedicate area's where people can build, so it's not a chaos of buildings.
* A temple dedicated to Ren and uRenium. (Sacrificing uRenium could grand people dogbones or something...)
* A Wall! Spawn needs to be walled of so it is clear where the city ends (or at least the city center)
* Make a "protected area" of around 500 blocks outside the spawntown border where none can build, to preserve the landscape. Only server certified builders could make construction there after discussing them.
I'll post more when I think about them
