A couple things...

This server has a great community of people who communicate and socialize responsibly and respectfully. This makes playing a game like Minecraft that much funner. Here are some of my thoughts about the server:
1. Why have a spawn world?
I don't know if this has been asked, but wouldn't it be easier to have portals in a stable world, like Survival. It would solve problems like the whole nether thing. I think by having an extra world it's wasting the potential of an undeveloped world. Sure I like the building that is in both the spawn world and survival, but why have two of them?

2. Could there be a more coherent way to organize builds on the server?
I feel like there are lots of buildings and things that people who play daily don't even know exist. I feel like a town or city that has something like districts would help make it easier to enjoy other's builds. I also don't like asking Mods or admins to teleport me, I feel like a burden to them whenever I ask. I believe that making a city or town would also help pull in those people that have trouble with the rules.

3. With what I just said in mind, is there a way that a new survival world/server set up that redefines the community as a whole and pulls these two ideas together be plausible in the future?
So ya, that's all I've had in my mind as of today.

1- A spawn world keeps things a little more organized, instead of having a bunch of people at the survival world spawn world allows people who only want to be in a certain world be in the world they want to be in. PLUS, Spawn World is a good hub for people to meet up with. Instead of saying, "meet me at the fountain in survival and we'll go to arena world", they can say, "meet me in spawn world, and we'll go to arena" (think of that situation as both people were in different worlds). ALSO, Spawn world is still in development. I'm not sure if anybody has noticed, but if you go to SW and look behind you, there's a wall there with signs that have different locations of places in survival. This wall will be for people who have donated so they can right click on those signs and be wisked away to those places instead of walking to them. The donation Tiers haven't entirely been set up yet (I've been really busy lately), but they'll be up soon.

2- There's a lot of signs (especially right at survival spawn) that will take people places, and most of the time there's paths leading to those places. But, there's places like davetown (and everybody else's towns) that are discoverable. There's also subway systems that people can use to travel around the known map.

3- I'm ALWAYS up for suggestions, I think what makes this community and its servers great is that I'm always open to new suggestions (although some don't get implemented all the time).

Kewl, I'll have to check them out when it's done
