T9K reunion server

Size? As in, about 16x16? Spawn doesn't need to be big or impressive. Just functional. Small and simple room with the rules. Maybe a quiz of some sort underground. Door to the outside world. Protected land around to keep the griefers out of initial sight and make it harder to dig a complete death trench (situation to be monitored and controlled by admins).

I may just be shallow, but an intricate spawn makes me all the more enticed to look around a bit more.

In my experience, there is somewhat of a curve. Too much is just as detrimental as too little. A happy medium would do well.

The curve exists where I can't get out of spawn due to:
A: Complexity
B: Lag.

If we can get a nice medium while avoiding problems such as these, we'd have a nice spawn.

I agree with this: spawn should be functional purely. It should contain, in some form, all the server's documentation, whether it exists in-game only, or on a webpage the spawn directs users to. I encourage the use of subtitles and invisible horse nameplates to increase readability and noticability of key subjects such as rules. Spawn ought to serve also as a refuge from grief and combat. It should also include any desired multiverse portals or other non-vanilla administrative items.

Bearing in mind spawn doesn't have to be PURELY functional. Just not intricate, complicated, or overly decorative. There's a balance to be kept.

I agree, though I prefer most things to be built in survival. If we adopt a model in which there is a main city, something along the lines of Minetopia, perhaps the spawn could be placed on its outskirts. A spawn built mostly in survival with the exception of administrative items is very impressive. However, this may compromise the initial filtering of players: in order to enter Minetopia, players needed to walk a considerable distance.

My favorite world didn't have a spawn building, and it worked out just fine.

Jus' sayin

Beta 1.8-1.9? Yeah I guess you don't need a spawn building if you have no rules (rules that aren't enforced may as well not exist, right?) :)

When I connect to a server with nothing man-made within sight of spawn, I assume something must be broken!

I assume it's intentional. Especially if I can't break blocks within a few dozen blocks.

Besides, nobody is saying NO spawn building...just really simplified.

I like Chiba's idea. Maybe a little tower/lookout point, a quiz below ground, and a main entrance with whatever shop stuff we end up needing.

Just realized that, except for the lookout, I pretty much described the 1.0 spawn. Rest in piece you glorious tower, and may no nether portals accidentally pop up inside where you once stood.
 
I haven't played minecraft in ages (last time was back when the old server shut down), but I might go and run the 30 something updates so I can have a look at this.
