Bit boring. I would rather see it grow more organically.

wouldn't that be what the rest of the world is for? don't forget that each 16x16 plot can be developed in to any kind of house imaginable, perhaps your standard 2 floor abode or a tree house, made of wood or glass, with an apex roof, or a flat one and so on.

spawn should be a safe clearly laid out area which is easy to navigate and is free from mobs, the organic spawn area we currently have is none of those things.

yeah cause it's full of houses.

which is exactly what you'll get just smaller.
 
You can always give it a particular theme...what about a wild west style ranch with lots of wood buildings? Or you could have a Futurama-style city, complete with tall buildings, transportation tubes and suicide booths. Or it could be more like Springfield...

Tell you what would be good - a Fallout-style outpost. I don't think a big city would fit in as the world is so desolate, more of an outpost would be better.

How about Megaton from Fallout 3? That would be a brilliant base and quite unique...

In fact, most of the major settlements in Fallout could be recreated.

your houses are 2 blocks apart, if you want an over hang on your roof they'll end up touching. or only being 4x4 inside, which encourages massive towers to make any kind of space.

each 1x1 block represents a 2x2 (and could easily represent a 3x3 with the various plot sizes scaled to suit), i did state this.

yes! that's more like it :)
 
using it's current measurements it's 208x208 excluding wall, it's slightly bigger than the footprint of my pyramid which is MASSIVE. remember, i have a field of ponies ready to run towards this! :p
 
Another idea would be to look at some of the cities in WoW for inspiration... we could recreate a starter area like Stormwind or Ironforge. Those two cities also have a tram station, which could be used as a major mine cart station, as well as different shops (armor, weapons, food) which could again be used as shops for the in-game economy and specifically for those items too. There are banks, inns, gardens, bridges, castles, cathedrals etc, so it would be quite aesthetically pleasing and probably make a good spawn area.

Stuff from LOTR like Bree and other big fantasy towns/cities are also along the lines of what I'd like to see as a spawn area, and they fit in really well with Minecraft imo.

I'm just worried that vincent's plan might be a bit boring (no offence, I think you did a good job!), and like Tefal said, those houses would be quite sameish, especially if you imposed height/size limits which you'd have to do, otherwise they wouldn't fit in. I just think we can do much better.

I add both of you yesterday as I posted, so it's not me you are waiting for !
If it say anything other then 'not on whitelist' when you are trying to log on then it's nothing to do with the whitelist.

no offence taken, i just think people are getting caught up unnecessarily on the plot size, 16x16 is quite a big area and in addition to that it's only meant as a 'city house' your own weird creations can exist outside the city walls. the city houses were just to add a bit of flavour to spawn, nothing says you have to have a plot, you could instead elect to build further away from spawn and commute in when you need to visit your vault or travel on the train line, what ever.
