Server's up, lets start building!

This is where all the locations are! (link removed)
Note that map is just a rough idea, we can be flexible on where stuff goes. Also we can terraform as needed, replacing sand with dirt, filling in lakes, draining lakes, whatever we want!

Day 1 is over, it was just Otter and The_Imperator the whole night. I have all the admin commands up and with a mix of worldedit and manual work, plus summoning items, they whipped up the main building in the town square.

Tomorrow I'd like to see houses go up in Ponyville, and those can be people's personal places where they can stash their stuff. That is until they're willing to go develop a region. Ponyville itself has a lot of opportunity too though, there's a lot of locations.

I don't mind using wizard powers to landscape the main town, I want people to at least have a foundation ASAP. But once people are moved in we need to drop that, otherwise we'll just be a creative server that pretends to not be.

I updated the server info post, everything is pretty much setup now.

Ponyville is on a desert biome, I converted the sand into grass, so it gave us a decent flat area. The pink and brown blob there is me just messing around and importing models, I probably won't keep those there. I would like to make a coloring project out of the Pinkie Pie model, but only if we get more people on.

Aww, I wish I could help more, but I work third shift (9pm-5am EDT) at a warehouse, so my next night off isn't until Wednesday. I'll try to be on for a few hours today and tomorrow and check things out.

If nothing else, I'd be willing to start laying out property lines around town. Summon a bunch of fences, draw out some spacious plots of land, and leave a gate and a sign declaring it 'up for grabs'. That way we've got some defined limits on private houses. Just to make sure people can have yards with flowers or small sprites, does 20 by 30 sound like enough? Or should we go bigger for our main town?

Um...Phillydelphia's location should be a bit more to the east. The current spot marked is right on a mountain, and I'd feel bad if they have to be removed.

The markers are just general area, feel free to adjust as desired.
BUT! I do want to do a final trim soon so I can keep the map from automatically growing, so dont just fill out to the maximum possible, keep it as tight as comfortably possible.

It's not too far from the first marker, here:

Just waiting for the go-ahead to start the layout.

Sure, looks good. The markers were just an approximation to give us a starting point, by all means tweak the spots.
