Opinions Needed Longterm community pack ideas

So I was wondering how to prolong the longevity of packs.

I was a bit inspired by the oldest anarchy server in mc, which has a long history mainly because builds don't get autodeleted.

So my idea was to have a server where when your claim protection goes bye bye after 2 weeks inactivity but doesn't reset the structure. Everything unclaimed would be allowed for grabs.

The idea is to get more stuff built. People could continue to build on cities and infrastructure without it getting reset.

Maybe you have more ideas how to prolong a back and make people stay to build cool stuff. Of course there are always those not interested in building but that is OK.

I remember back on civ, as many flaws the pack had, we still had some community going.

 

Ummm...... do you ever come by into direwolf20 and tekkit legends servers? There is plenty of unfinished/raided bases - use /rt and in 70% to step upon on some1's old base in ~1000 in any direction

 

That may be true, but eventually they grief the wrong base someone reports it and then some poor sr mod+ cleans it up a bit. I like the idea, but then again I still play on the oldest anarchy server in minecraft too. The issue we have here and they don't suffer from is they have one server with a world well into the terabytes of size at this point without a real world border, instead they have hit the theoretical limit of a world border. If we opened the flood gates to a more griefing tolerated server with the ability to destroy in general you'd be looking at a world of bedrock and obsidian within weeks.

 

you forgot about lava everywhere at surface and around the spawn

 

The one time we had our anarchy server open I dug a trench around spawn five wide so you couldn't quite jump across and lava cast it... welcome to anarchy boys

 

Not to mention if bases didn't reset there wouldn't be anything stopping a new player from finding a abandoned base and claiming it for
themselves. Trust me nothing would be more annoying then to log on to a server and find out your base is owned by someone else

 

Thats feature of anarchy, you can that and some1 can do that to you

 

I don't think that we would look at a similar spawn soon. I am not saying we need an anarchy server, things like TNT etc should still be disabled.
