This is something the server should look into, I think we need a change and this is a big opportunity for players to extend their adventure in Dkcraft!

This is not a PvP server, nor will it ever be, the parts about the pvp would be useless on this server.


if this pluggin is added, the server may have to have a BIG restart to manage and set the "pre-set" grid for plots, the server might lag more and restart more because it needs to mantain the grid and DeeKay is trying to keep the server as vinilla as possable, this might remove more vinilla and add a little more "forien flavors" as I like to call them.

Over all, its a good idea untill the server has to shut down for at least a good 12 hours or so to manage and set the grid. I am not the owner of the server, but I'm pointing out some facts that deekay might point out.

If you read more about it, nothing mentions having to manage a "pre-set" grid. It's just like adding any plugin, nothing extra to it, it's an integrated plugin. Not too much effort should be applied, but in this case to configure it to the servers aspect then effort would be acquired (i.e. setting economy prices, money to start a town, etc.).

All in all, it's dk's decision, not mine. I will leave it up to peoples valid opinions, and discussions, decisions etc.

[DeeKay]

Although I've heard good things about Towny, and overall it seems like a great plugin, it doesn't really suit our setup unfortunately.
We already have ways of protecting land, one of those being applying for a project/city protection.
