Exactly what I mean, People are using it to find his 'house'.What home? All that's at the place dude had waypointed was a big crater o.o unless he was living in a big blown up place
Accidentally joined it the other day, but I'm loving it.
One thing I have a questions about: Has this ever happened to you?

Joined, had the usual goodies, nothing unusual.
Went exploring the sewers, looking for useful things.
I climbed a ladder up and out of the sewer.
Upon reaching the top, I turn and see approximately 5-6 active TNT right in front of the next building over.
They exploded.
Fortunately, I survived(Being far enough away from the blast).
Has this(Active TNT magically appearing) happened to anyone else? Curious to see if it is a map feature, or other *cough* Iguana/other High SMP staff *cough* having fun.

No, they were completely uninhabited. No torches/wool/etc.
Now, I could believe it if I had seen TNT there beforehand. I didn't, which is the reason why I asked.
I've yet to see any signs of life besides me. (Monsters don't count)

Inhabiting a construction site, sharing with two unnamed individuals nearby. I supply them with food and records at no cost mostly because I feel like it. Expressing distaste for fragile buildings by pyromaniacal explosive means. Fully equipped for future, and sleeping with a weapon at all times. Do not wish to be jumped in bed. By a zombie, I mean. Or my comrades. Not a thrilling prospect. Nonetheless, have been very successful so far.

They are not realistic, as they are repeatedly pasted buildings, or randomly generated copies of the buildings everywhere, no greenery, nothing that a real city would have, even with the radiation. Imo It's a bit too big as for the city as It gets boring sitting there by yourself in a city that you get lost in if you didn't use co-ordinates.
It only becomes fun when you find civilization that you either taunt by anonymously raiding or joining.
I find the city kinda boring. All the buildings are completely empty, which I think takes away some of the fun of exploring an empty city. I like the sewer system quite a bit, some of the mob spawners are very deadly while others are a complete joke, but the random rooms are nice. I like how some of them have brick doors and others iron bars, so sometimes you can see what you're about to open and sometimes you can't.
I've so far found: enderman, spider, poison spider, silverfish, creeper and pig zombie spawners. Enderman and pig zombie are useless, because I don't attack them
. Poison spider and silverfish are insanely dangerous, because those mobs fit through a 1 block hole (I had a close call with both, only got hit once by the poison spider but the poison took me down to 1 heart, and there were about 15 silverfish spawned by the time I opened that room).
As far as treasure goes, I've been fairly lucky I think. 2 diamond swords, 2 diamond picks, 2 diamond chestplates, 2 diamond hoes, a buttload of gold and iron stuff (swords, axes, armor, etc), 4 or 5 powered minecarts (idk what I'm going to ever do with them?), a map, a saddle, 3 buckets of lava, and various other things. Only found 2 redstone so far, but that made me a radio tower. It's boosted to the max 550m, anyone who gets the message is free to use my place to live, just don't get all stealy on the chests (there's lots of free food!).
Also, made a nether portal and a fishing pool. I can't seem to make fishing rods myself, but found one in a chest, so I can get raw fish for now. I haven't been through the nether portal yet, and probably won't take the chance of dying on the other side, for now at least.
Overall, this has been the easiest solitude experience so far. It's interesting how the city changes what's rare (coal, anyone?), but I'm still a little disappointed with the empty buildings. They could at least have some rooms.

I think a wasteland would be cool again.
Atleast, a real wasteland like we had on the beta version.
We haven't had one since that.

No what the big blue thing doesn't show coords to the marker "Home" it shows how many meters he is away from his marker "home". so that showed he was 400+ meters away from his marker in a north west direction.
Get Primordia, smash it up a bit. Get everyone to plant TNT everywhere and then HCs can blow it up and transform it into a Solitude map, sounds great.
