500 blocks tp from mine

Because you don't mine in the main world.

 

I agree, the warps are similar to a /wild command. The point is that we'd like to maintain a balance of convenience vs challenge. Hence a discussion is needed to see how this affects the balance and if it's something we'd like to go forward with having.

 

Here's the dev plan for the mining world: There will be a new /wild command for the mining world. Using it will teleport you to a completely random location on the surface level of the map. When you use the command it will give you an id number for that location. If you want a friend to mine with you then you can give them the id and they can then go to the same random location that you were sent to. It will not teleport the friend directly to the player.. so if they walked a ways and went underground then the friend will have to do the same. The ids will be cleared several times throughout the day.

 

Likely at least a week or 2 between wild location changes.

 

The id's on the mining world will be cleared every time the server restarts.. so a few times a day. The id's are only to help you mine with a friend. If you lose the id then you two can simply move to a new location so you can be together via a fresh id. We could also store these id's in the database so that they can last longer, but i'm not sure that's really necessary.

The Main world will have some adjustments made to it's /wild command as well. This is where deity's reply comes into play. We'll be rotating the region that /wild sends you to on the main world every week or so. When you do the /wild command i'll give you an ID so that you can always get back to the same location. This will act kind of like an unlimited /home for newcomers as well as a way for friends that are new to the server to reliably get to each other in the wild. If you enter one of the wild regions that is no longer active then we will let you know how long you have until the region will be regenerated. This way, newcomers can play around in the wild regions for a few weeks before the region is regenerated. The regeneration effort is so that we can keep the wild zones looking presentable.

 

I love you. This is an awesome idea. Would get rid of all those nasty cobble abominations

Many thanks,

Haha, well , that part was Deity's idea, so save some love for him

 

ID always has my unconditional love anyway

Many thanks,
Seph

 

Towns aren't presently an issue since mayors have avoided making towns near the wild areas because they're so ugly. I'll add a restriction to make it so new towns can't be created in those regions though. Roads are something i didn't really think about and it looks like some sections of roads will be wiped out. It's not definite, but the most likely outcome will be to reroute the roads around the wild regions if people want to keep the road. You can easily spot the 4 wild regions on the live map by looking for all the "noob" poles. You can also find them by just doing the current /wild command a number of times until you've gone to all 4 locations.

Both of those were very good points. thanks for raising them
