So I just want to take a minute to express how much I'm enjoying this survival revision (hint, its a lot). I've only recently gotten back to S for a couple revs (I did play around rev 2-3 or so and since was more of a PvE player) but in my opinion the new plugins give so much more depth to the game-play. Previously, everyone would just mine/enchant as fast as possible, get tons of gear and go randomly PvP, for the only purpose of killing someone else and to me, that just wasn't enough. Now, there are resources at stake: land and chests.

It is up to the player to decide how secure they want their build. You can absolutely protect your chest enough so no one will take the time to get to it, it just takes time and effort and designing the protections is really something that I'm enjoying.

I've so far had 2 bases raided. The first one was because we were too close to a big bulls eye, Discharge. The second because I/we were careless and left paths back to the base. Neither base am I upset for losing because in the end, both were my fault. I've learned some new tricks and will build a better, new base.

I have had to learn some new commands for the new plugins (even I didn't know fully how to utilize them and am still learning new commands even today) but it literally requires maybe 30 minutes of reading through a few pages. The plugins are really fairly simple, just take the little effort to knowledge up and you can effectively counter most grief. If you want any help on the plugins, ask and at the very least I'll direct you to the correct doc for what you are trying to do and most likely I will actually help you more thoroughly.

So, in summary. Yay survival!
