Pretty impressive. I wish we had as many people as they get.
After posting that, they got a surge of people on their server, it got a mention on equestriadaily.com
I know if we made one, they would help plug it, and we'd get more interest.
I'd love to make one of our server, but its not as impressive as this, we just don't have nearly the crowd of builders as they have. We'd need something to show off the long list of features we have that they don't, and maybe someone will see the lack of people as an opportunity, since everything hasn't been already built. It would have to basically say "you can move in here!".
What is really demoralizing for me is that none of the new people use the features like they did on the nom server, for example, nobody ever says "I'm above you on the dynamic map". So if nobody is using that other stuff, we're just a second rate ponycraft wannabe server.
I do want to give this thing a serious shot, but if all we get are little kids, and almost nobody participating in the forums, I'm going to pull the plug. Thank-you to the 2 of you that did join and start participating, but its not enough.
That wont be for awhile though, we did just start, but if its looking like this in a month, I'll move onto the next theme sooner than I planned, maybe we'll do a fallout or pirate themed server, the nommers would surely come to that and we'd pack em in.

(And just for the record, I do use the dynamic map. It's helpful for stalking people. I also visit the stats page, so these features aren't going completely unused.)
Edit: This is unrelated, but Melkyore did a fantastic job building a park for Fillydelphia. Just wanted to mention that.

It will come with time, I just have such a hard time being patient.

I'd like to not free up any plots in ponyville for right now, then we can be more selective about who we give them to.

I like this idea. Going to have to build it pretty far off unless you limit height, otherwise you can see it from anywhere.I think people still should have a generic 'home' where they are free to make it how they want, but I'm not sure how to accomplish that. Maybe we can make Manehatten, and that can be huge with lots of plots. Then we can move people to that. If someone makes a home kind of ghetto-ish, its not as tragic.

Back to the video: will can still out do them with the noteblock songs. Another idea is to make the video shorter... more ad like. I wasn't ready to sit through 7 minutes of fly overs. Quick 3-10 second shots of things should make people want to come see the whole thing.
But building comes first.

I agree on the video, it should be short and to the point.
I disagree! What we're lacking is people, with more people, we can look for the good ones, and let them help build. One thing I've learned about minecraft is, most of the enjoyment is in the building, after its done being built, nobody cares. The excitement comes from what is coming next, not what was already done. So I'm in no hurry to start on every possible project, lets just make sure there's enough for people to join in on, and lay foundations where we need. We need people to lead the stuff though, its just slow going since we lack people.But building comes first.
