New claim system - What do you think?

[mbaxter]

To allow for easier protection we're using the new Grief Prevention.

Think it's too limited? Think it's giving far too much to everyone?

Hate the commands? Love the commands?

Feel something isn't documented well enough?

Have ideas to improve the system?


Please post with any comments on the new system you have.

Well, my point of view is that, for a user, its actually useful since they are alloud to protect their own creations. Having the ability to protect thier property will coniderably lower the giref to the user creation. The amount of space someone can protect is ok, and if they keep playing we will earn more territory be able to protect more creations. So, in my opinion, the plugins is amaizing.

Eliminate the minimum size requirement.

Pros:
-Quick and easy
-Command to give permissions to others is short, before it was long and sometimes confusing
-Easy to resize claims
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cons:
-Minimum size requirement is sometimes annoying when making small claims
-Claims can't be removed, "griefers" can claim huge amount of land to take up space, suggest enabling /abandonclaim and give permissions to admins for /abandonclaim to any claim

Overall, this plugin is helpful, much more faster than before, although a couple of major downsides poses as a problem. (Ignore the cons if they already can be fixed)

This ^^ plus please allow us to abandon claims. Being a recent newbie myself, trying to figure out the land claiming is challenging and will be very offputting to new players if they screw it up once and can't redo.

Aggravating the no-abandon ability is the fact you can't "overlap" your claims. So even adding on to your first potentially screwed up plot can be extra frustrating when you're trying to connect up your claims and you end up just like 1 or 2 rows off.

Besides the mechanics, I am VERY grateful for the land-claiming system. Knowing my creations are protected keeps me motivated to build bigger and more interesting things

You can adjust the size of claims by using a gold shovel on the corners.

As for minimum size, I'll see about removing that.

The reason abandoning claims is disabled is to avoid a griefer claiming some land, ruining it, unclaiming the land, and then claiming more. If I turn on abandoning claims, I'll likely have to turn on the "delete everything when unclaimed" feature too. You can always ask an admin to remove a claim, and claims that aren't improved upon are eventually removed.

Just claimed some new land on the server yesterday, works great! You admins really put some thought into the latest creative server, it's very user friendly. Good job!

There were like 8 people online last night at 1AM. Is that when most people get on? It was nice to see some activity on the MC servers again. Hopefully this trend will continue...

I personally don't like the new claiming system. It's just really confusing for me. Still a good system since it protects griefing and all that.

So... what would help you?

I definitely like this plugin a lot. The only thing I have trouble with is the thinking ahead. Normally I would just build something then get it protected, but now I have to know what I'm building, and how big it's going to be, since I can't just build unless I claim.

I think it's great. Lets people protect for themselves and takes a lot of pressure of the staff.

You can resize the claim by pulling out the shovel and right clicking in the area, then right clicking on an edge and moving it

Thank you this was the part I had to learn about. I didn't understand how to resize a claim without just abandoning it first and starting over.

One of those tutorial books auto-added to new players inventory might be really useful, just to remind them 1) you can't delete a claim and 2) you have to right click on the corner (usually a glowstone block for me) to be able to resize the claim. Once I learned HOW to properly resize, it's gotten much easier.

One of the features of the plugin is that if you ask for help in chat, it will link you to a youtube video with instructions.
