I wouldn't worry much about how the initial starting area would not fit our designs. And I'm all for starting a completely new world, and not recreating the old one's buildings and train tracks and whatnot. If there's anything I like in my playing MC, it's the adaptation to the random world around me and spontaneous building.
Another idea I had for the new server: we could make ourselves a little town, even a city, like many servers do. The initial base could be turned into a town hall, and it would be surrounded with set plots of land, each for all of us to build our first homes on. This, complete with parks, streets, taverns, and possibly a town wall would make quite a neat main base. Of course, everyone would be free to branch out and create their own evil lairs after the town is done. At least it would give us something to do until 1.8, and would keep us from exploring too much of the world for a time. What do you all think?
