So, Survival is an /item-less area, working on the stuff in the land, and inside there is a defined PvPing area.
And people's individual claims can be PvP enabled.

Is there no way to set up the world as normal, but with the invisible barrier spreading as you explore, so anything West of it is Survival, and anything East is Creative?

I think once you get far enough away from the dividing point, it wont really matter what zone type you're in.

Also, if I understand this properly, all of the Survival Zone is PVP-enabled, but individual players can turn their flags on and off--although the point of that still escapes me because I can think of no reason to be there if you aren't.

Also, can you enter and exit PVP zones at will, because it would suck to be able to leave the PVP zone to store stuff/mine items so that they can't be ganked.

There are holes in this idea, I think.

Your statement is correct, mostly. It's not a person-by-person flag but an area flag. To answer your question, because people who wish to play "legit" tend to get annoyed if they see people play Creative right next door to them. Or at least, that's what I've observed from when we had WoM client players and non-WoM client players right nearby. If necessary, I can implement a strictly PvP zone where you cannot escape, for the hardcore PvP people that don't want their prey escaping to a safe zone (or stashing in said zone).

This isn't to say that you can't play legit in the Creative zone, but that there is a specific place for you in the Survival side of things if you want it, where nobody can use /item.

So anyway, I'll be implementing this now. I've gotten approximately five or so people to give me their positions, the undecided I will lump into the Creative side of things until otherwise notified.

I might also implement chat channels so that you can shut out the other side of things if you want.

EDIT: You know what, that's what I'll do. Three zones, one for Creative, one for Legit Creative, and one for PvP Survival.
Modify your requests for placement as necessary.

Also, to be entirely clear, this is going to take a while. Don't expect me to be completely done tonight, and maybe not even tomorrow. I'm going to have to redo all the user groups and permissions.

Duh said that there'll be three major zones, and if you attempt to leave without admin permission you'll be automatically tp'ed back into your zone, therefor you cannot just leave to save yourself like running into a safe house.

Please display good sportmanship by not using cheating.

Sounds great. Thanks for putting all this time into it!

It sounds like you can make /item usage zone-based. Is that true? Sounds phenomenal.

I can limit playergroups to certain zones, and then limit each playergroup's command permissions.

That is pretty damn cool.

And then i'm God.

Also, alphagamer, I can't accept your echeck? The accept button is gone from it. I have Duh's donation in but not yours.

Was that based on our conversation this afternoon Duh?

Nah, that's how it's always been planned from the beginning. So far we've had the command limitations to groups, and now we're adding in movement protection.

Hm, paypal says it's pending until the 16th. Damn paypal.

Server is being updated with the new zones. However, until the map actually copies to the backup it will be down. It's been copying for the last half hour.

I looked into it a bit more, and it seems that it takes 3-5 business days to process in addition to a few more days. So if it's not in by the 16th, I guess just do it again.

BROKEN
SO BROKEN

Ok MLC, you've already shouted at me like five times.
I can only fix so fast.
