    Which makes me question why we would want another one >_>

    The way I see it there's hundreds of quality creative servers out there; we'd just be one of the more exceptional ones. But when we have things like Alice (which is probably the most stable tekkit-esque mods server I've ever seen), or the more recently discussed modified Vincent/Alice servers, it makes us unique and will serve as a big draw for people to come play.

    Well why do we have vincient ether then? its played about the same amount. Plus if it makes a difference I would play creative if it came back.

    I say yes. James was the best server I ever played on, and I learned almost everything I know about redstone from it.

    There will never be a hardcore version of alIce since its already on hard difficulty.

    I think he means that the world should get deleted when a player dies.

    Wouldn't that be like an anarchy server where everyone builds but-ugly things underground? I don't think much people would want that.

    Although free PvP (Including raids) might be a nice addition I agree that if greifing were to be allowed everyone would live underground or on 1x1 pillars that go into the sky. This would result in most of the players constantly living in the fear that your creations could be destroyed.

    Free PvP (Including raids) is blocked for a few good reasons.

    Not vague at all... May I know those reasons ? (After more thought Raids seem like a bad idea.)

    Wait.... remind me why we dont grief in real?
    Becouse of police and law!
    Sk can make some guard bots, or take some police mans from real ppl
    Make a city and let people stay there for a fee
    I already imagine bots AI
    Why not???

    Idk. The idea of PvP could be fun. The temptation to make gigantic reinforced glass domes to keep people out of bases.... 8D

    Honestly I think most people wouldn't even engage in PvP, but the potential changes everything. Suddenly your creations need to have security features, traps, anti-personnel weapons. Tesla coils and Wireless jammers come into play, base designs will tend to fortress-esque, high density material for walls, security doors and locks...

    FUN. PURPOSE.

    Gameplay needs purpose.

    If SK adapts his chunk-claiming system into a custom thing a la Towny, where you group off into towns and the ability to PvP between towns is possible...

    IDK. LOTS OF POTENTIAL.

    That said, PvP within reason. Not just unrestricted, blow up all the things PvP. Breaching walls, sure, leveling an entire city to the ground BECAUSE YOU CAN... not so much.
