Why couldn't you guys just make it so players are given a protected plot (island) in which players can't build in unless given permissions to by the owner?

That way you can then also implement many other commands // mods such as the
/tpa
/tpaccept

1. Won't have to worry about griefing
2. Players can easily trade items without having to worry about others stealing

 

I think it would be better if you could request a mod to come and protect it, and they would only protect it if you have completed at least 10 challenges, but after that you could add people to it.

That would probably give some incentive to completing them.

 

That is in fact done on some skyblock servers. However, show me one that has 400 people wanting 250 slots in prime time. Its probably a server load issue, given the continuing issues of the 1.3.x + bukkit builds. It probably would not make a load difference if the server size was 50 or maybe 100.

 

The vast majority of islands are incomplete.

Also, if the island remains inactive for a long period of time, the protection should be taken off.

 

We use to have protection, but it got to laggy and sometimes froze chat at spawn. i would go more in detail but i don't want to insult everyone in a public topic. Feel free to msg me to know

 

yeah there use to be protection for everyone when they did a big update a few months ago, but the server was sooooo laggy which is why you cant say lag in chat because people kept complaining about it.

 

I dont think its had home protection in 3 months, but nearly 2 months ago some time(?), the block log/rollback was turned off... throwing out the red carpet for anonymous grievers causing anonymous damage which must be repaired manually .

 

Maybe implement precious stones... basicly blocks that when you place them they protect all blocks in a certain radius.
You could buy these stones at villager shops for a semi-hefty price and their could be different tiers of them.
For example:
1 mossy cobble protects 5x5x5 and costs 64 cobble + 64 vine - max 25 mossy cobble for regular member
1 gold block protects 10x10x10 and costs 9 gold - max 10 for regular member
1 sponge protects a 15x15x15 area and costs 5 iron + 1 mossy cobble - max 10 for regular member
1 iron block protects 16x16x256 and costs 9 iron - max 7 for regular member
1 diamond block protects 25x25x256 and costs 9 diamond - max 5 for regular member

You could bump up the max amount of PS (precious stones) for higher donators.

 

I support.

Although, I think we should only implement this on the economy server.

There are less people on it, and it should cost skybucks.

 

Kaylee just said block logging was back, so that should put a damper on grievers. Won't prevent it, but will discourage future grievers, and allow the guilty to be caught (I think).

 

Hurrah!

I'm so happy we can finally catch all of the bridgers and griefers.

 

Hey guys,
our island got griefed yesterday and today the second time. Yesterday a lot of our stuff was stolen, now someone randomly destroyed blocks and struktures such as our mobspawner or our cbblgen.
Until now, we liked your server very much. The whole market-system is nice and fun to play with. But without protection for our builded stuff we can't continue. Its too annoying for us if this happens again and again.

 

We have technology to roll it back, anyway, post it in the reports section and you should get help.
