I like the town idea. The server as it was right now everyone was all over the place and you could play for days without running into someone. That did kind of suck.
Also, I believe that the server plugin Bukkit that comes with most rented servers also allows you to move the server's spawn point. So the spawn location doesn't necessarily have to be the place for Genesis.
Edit: I'm looking around for a new server host right now, but for this to go on like it's going now I will really, really need donations guys. A lot more people have joined since we started playing and the average 10 to 15 slot server costs anything between 12 and 25 dollars per month, depending on the host.
So once again, donations for the (decent, this time) Minecraft server can be sent to
TigerXtrm[at]Gmail[dot]com via
Paypal. Anything is welcome, 1 dollar, 2 dollars. Whatever you're willing to spare to keep the server alive. The more donations I get, the longer the server can be kept.
