Bigger / More Regions Please

[HGLCraft Profile]

With the increase in Griefing now that we have re-joined the modern world, I would like to be able to better protect myself, and have a better region.

Would it be possible for players that have "proven" themselves to apply for and be given the ability to;

1. Create a bigger region, I do not have a large base by any standard, and with 30,000 I can only region the surface, leaving any underground areas unprotected. To capture my modest area reasonably is only 90,000 cubic. Considering some earlier players have regions many times larger than this, I think it is reasonable.

2.Protect more than one area, allowing them to protect iconic builds, or create builds like shops in multiple locations.

Obviously any abuse (creating a region in other players area etc.) would result in losing the right or a ban.


So, a proven player can be granted the right to create up to 5 regions of 100,000 cubic each.

Thoughts?

Cheers

i like the idea as i can already see things that could be protected (Aquadome)

I'd rather see it broken down into a square-blockage vs. cubed. Meaning, I would like to be able to say your region extends from bedrock to sky in something like a 20x20 area. I suspect our regioning plugin doesn't support this kind of flexibility and we'd probably have to have a mod involved.

I think public works like the Aquadome or Leoville proper would fall under a different category than personal regions and thus get larger region accommodations.

Please submit this topic to Town Hall we would love to have a more indepth discussion about this topic. Submit here.

Yeah, I think Worldprotect can be used for larger public structures if the server mods want to take the time to go lock it down & assign authorized users to edit the area. I don't know how it works, or if it would work, just throwing an idea out there.

I love the idea of having an additional level of player with access to more regions/larger regions. I don't think we're near running out of space or anything which I think was the original concern.

Town hall would be a great place to discuss this. Or here of course.

I've been open to creating additional and larger regions for players to protect valuable builds. Just yesterday I made a large region to protect a very large horse stable somebody made.

We've also added additional regions for players to protect areas like the Mirage Mall that had sustained numerous griefing attacks.

tl/dr If you want a second region or a bigger region to protect one of your valuable projects submit a modreq or pm a moderator to request one.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Lol. Well the opinions of the mods about player access to large/multiple regions is as usual, conflicted. Dont let cheeetozz or D5 in on this conversation. They will probably have a cow.

I'd be happy to see my walls strengthened with mod majics. Of course, I also realize that I've staked out what is probably a ridiculously large claim of land.

who are they?

[Timberwolf1777]

They were the mods who used to be a part of twitcraft who required that (right before they abandoned us entirely) all the regions that were protecting the riders from mobs and griefing on all the public rail systems I made be deleted. At that point, the mirage and other builds were already regioned but somehow regions for the rail was (and I quote) "unfair to the other players." Whatever that means.

Having a class of "proven" players with access to more regions also seems unfair under their logic.

So lets just try to keep them in the dark on this as I love this idea.

Taking pot shots at mods won't get this discussion anywhere, so let's cut that out please.

As for the actual topic, I think it's a good idea. Too often players are griefed at a second location because their region is used at their main residence.

[Timberwolf1777]

You are right of course asim0v. Pot shots are unproductive. Unfortunately, as a player, the options are either that or to lodge a formal complaint about certain moderator behavoir. Would you like such a formal complaint instead? If yes, in what method should it be submitted?

Thanks

I'd like to complain about the lack of cowbell on this server. It NEEDS more cowbell!

Ohhhhhh yeah.... That's the stuff!

So.....will there be more/bigger regions, or not?

There's a lot a back and forth, but I see no decisions.
