Dear Blocktopians,
let me start this by saying that we, as a community, always want every member to voice his / her opinion, and I think that our community guidelines (in their most basic form here http://blocktopia.net/forum/help/terms ) give each and every member enough free room to more or less do as he/she pleases. That's what I love about Blocktopia in comparison to many other online Communities.
Having said that, I do appreciate the fact that we have very diverse opinions concerning the amount of PVP on our e.g. new SMP server.
What I don't appreciate is the personal vendetta some people seem to have, to bring down any and every constructive thread with their passive-aggressive postings, making it seem like the world revolves around their opinion.
That's the good things about opinions - they are your opinion and not everybody elses.
Let me make it very clear:
Blocktopia caters to a very wide range of players with a very wide range of interests. In order to do so, our only chance is to compromise at certain points. This means, that the 'Flagship' server, which is always the 'Pure SMP' server, will never have an extreme edge that can drive a wedge into the playerbase.
The main SMP server has been and always will be as commercial as possible to cater to the highest amount of interests of all potential players.
And yes, that means, there will be PVP protection zones in an otherwise full PVP enabled world.
That's also the reason we do servers like Solitude, like Vanilla, like Werewolf, etc. - to give people something that is focused on one thing. That are servers that I and many others put many hours of work into to please a mostly small group of people. Which never actually thank us for that, but well, that's life.
Tl,dr: Suck it up, bitches, I don't want any more discussions about the state of PVP on Discordia!
