for the past 2 worlds iv seen a large number of claimed plots but no attempt at building anything,normally i wouldn't complain but its been happening alot anymore,i mean i understand ppl are busy IRL and cant get on but if your just going to leave to go to another game for days weeks w/e why claim a plot? claim a plot when you come back

i mean that's taking up from active and new ppl coming in,and when there's no more open plots mods/admins need to go and make new ones,when there's perfectly good plots that are not being used at all

Tbh, I kind of agree with this. People who are barely active. Claim a plot on the server and don't do anything with it. I understand your busy, but if you think your getting more active, then claim a plot. If you know your gonna be barely active. Don't claim one.

Not trying to sound mad or something. Just my opinion.

This happens almost every world. People get excited, rush to the new world, claim a plot...

and don't come back for weeks if ever, just to do it all over again the next world. Maybe I'll start checking log files and if you're plot is empty and you've been inactive for more than a week or two I will revert ownership.

Well I have a claimed plot and haven't done anything with it. I did/do have plans to, but I've had some things happen (like poking myself in the damn eye) so I haven't been on lately. I'm not giving up my plot though, sorry guys! ;) I'll build eventually, maybe? Well I hope too... :P

i honestly dont see a problem with this because what is it hurting that they have a plot? as a server grows more plots will have to be made regardless so it shouldn't be a big deal that mods/admins have to make a few extra ones. so there is that problemed solved. and how exactly is it taking away from active players on the server? they have there area to build and someone elses area shouldnt really affect there game play at all. they still get the same gameplay regardless if someones plot is empty or has a building on it

i know that but again the thing is there's maybe 4-5 plots iv seen where they came on day 1 of the new world and haven't been back on since,i know for sure atleast 2 of them are busy IRL and cant get on and that's fine,but others are off doing other stuff and don't want to come on for awhile.

so making new plots is fine but if there's 3-4-5-etc plots open that ppl claimed and do nothing with that's taking from ppl who want a spot to build.



on a side note,hope you feel better Sassy

To put it bluntly I think this whole "Log in and ditch" thing that is happening can do with removal. Again if your real life is busy it is understandable but think about the community before you just log in, take a plot, and log out . We as a community don't want to be seen as more then unusually lazy. Sure we aren't ALL about minecraft but we should put up an effort to make sure when we put up Public community stuff on the web it doesn't reflect the wrong images. An with tons of empty room what images do you think people see.

I mean when we make a commons we want it to not only Look good but to be brimming with buildings and activity. Anyway that is my two cents.

I doubt it's intentional. New worlds hype people up. They log on and think yeah, I'm down with this, have all these ideas..

and then..

lose steam.

If you think I'm lying, look at how many of YOU are on the same world after a week or two. Some people just accelerate the process. I don't particularly like it, but again, it's not intentional so I think a simple "week or so inactive and the plot hasn't been touched" gets the plot set back to available.

Yeah, I agree with Fools that it's a part of the process. That's why the last world, I never did a plot. I wasn't "sure" I felt like building a house, so I held off til I was sure...and it never happened! This world, I'm active, but gathering materials/mining, so still haven't built. I suppose that makes me part of the problem, but I also plan on building once I've got the supplies.

Just give it some time, sooner or later The people who have empty plots will get on and build a house. This is a long term world (hopefully like sassy city) so I know it won't really matter in the long run if 4 or 5 plots are left empty. They'll be filled in time. :)
