So I was walking out of New-Caerdia's spawn, I take two steps into the wilderness and what do I see?

Why do people do this? New Caerdia has been out less than a month.
Faith in humanity -10

If I remove this stuff, is that greifing?
 
It looks like new caerdia is following in the foot steps of its father
Literally. Does someone have a vendetta against the name Ceardia? It looks almost exactly the same as the wilderness outside previous silver edge!

And I would say that if you wanted to fix the land, go ahead. I'm not the admins, but this is not a good thing.
 
I thought this server was diffrent from the immature, pvp, griefing servers. It seems that this server has some of those people from the pvp server in here. Shame. I always hate to see this anywhere.
 
Its like no one cares, no beauty to care for if someone destorys the place. Like all the people who don't give a damn of the place, wreak it.

I hate it when this happens, to sad.
 
There is unfortunately nothing we can do about it. A large portion of Massive's community is a mature collective of players, but there will always be those who want to build their town right up close to the spawn, because they do not wish to trek out into the world to discover their secrets. As well as PvP'ers on the server who just wish to destroy stuff and ruin factions (As well as greifers) The only way to resolve this is to whitelist with a subscription fee, but as this would push away a large portion of the already established community this is not a viable option. What can I say? We need a sub-group of staff that should put time into "cleaning" the environment away from this stuff. Like abandoned forts would be cool if a team went in and actually made it look like legitimate ruins. But then again, the worlds are huge, and it takes a lot of time and effort to make that idea become a reality.
 
Whenever I see stuff like this, I try to make it look as if they are actual ruins, not just random griefed buildings.
 
When I am done building in the faction Variana, I might put some time and effort (and alot of saplings, wines and leaves) into cleaning the landscape and forming ruins... But it would be kinda hard if I get killed by noobs all the time :| Damn noobs and their armors...

Start a group on the forums. I will gladly lend my time to make MassiveCraft a better place.
 
Its mainly because the server is growing so much and the 'noobs' are also growing in numbers, so when they joined they go to the newest world and decide to wreck it as they don't understand MassiveCraft at all...I think
 
Wat about making an intro area explaining that this is wat we don't want people to do... And put heavy punishments on those who do it anyways.

Its always better to prevent.;)

Bit by bit areas will eventualy be restored again. I will personaly devote my time aiding other factions in bettering their inviroments and help them make awsome cities. But only when I have time for it:P. I mean I do have a city of my own to build. :D

So wat do you guys say? Give new people a proper intro and force them maybe to read the rules and guidelines before they are released into our worlds?

(not sure if we already have a good intro tho:$)
 
Well, me and a couple of others cleared up the area, we had one protester... but he's dead now.

He even declared war with Barjuk over it. I made sure he learned his lesson.
 
Those houses were most likely made by new people to the server, and may have been their very first trek out into the wilderness. A new player has no place to store what few items they have, and so you can't expect them to travel too far from the spawn. I myself started off living in a small ruined hut in Old Caerdia very close to the "To the North" warp. The fact that these houses are griefed, I assume that these houses were not made with valuable blocks (as evidence by the cobble and planks on the rest of the structure, and also assuming new players don't have treasure blocks to place as walls) and were probably torn apart by other new players needing materials to build little places of their own. These new players may also be attacked quite frequently by people, and so eventually are forced to move farther away, most likely leaving whatever structure is left behind.

Point is, restoration around spawns is nice, but don't expect it to last long. This is what will naturally happen to areas around spawns.

Actually, the houses were made by darengalen, owner of shadowgodz. Jus' sayin'
 
ya I was going to make shopa like a village but then kept getting attacked and then they got greifed
ill come clean up
 
IDER! Factions that are big, powerful, and want new members... just claim a patch near spawn, build an awesome house there, and a portal to your base. Tell them noobs to /msg (leadername)/(officers) if they want to join the faction. Boom, free recruitment + not-shitty houses/towns/forts around the spawns. Two noobs, one godsword.

This.. this guy's intelligent. Listen to this man.
 
I attempted to repair some of the ground yesterday but there was just so much damage.
 
I've already tried to achieve a petition for this, for Faction leaders to be responsible for their faction members, and to give punishment in terms of things like this.
It did not work....

Unfortunately, its very hard to find out what player did what even within the faction. If we were to have server spawn clean ups they would either need to be a forum group of members or a small "Server Event" which would give out a small prize for participating once every 2 weeks? Like a enchanted book or something?
 
Or you would have to pay for the damage, a staff checks who di it. Sees if there active and tells them either you clean this up, or you pay 0.1 copper for every block.

Note, that not all players have money, and newlings to the server have no clue what is going on yet. They just want a house to live in haha.
 
They should not to build right outside of spawn.you are going to griefed, if its not protected... It's like they never played a server..
 
How is this about pvp? I'm one of those pvpers. and I cleared it up.


most of the time the people who do this are pvpers who only came on the server to grief, pvp, and raid. While some pvpers like you are amazing, care about lore, clean up, and are damn handsome, the ugly side of massive craft is filled with griefers, trolls, and people who pvp and care about nothing else.
 
Im thinking Orc demolition party :D.

We shall remove the remains of the derpish hordes who plague our world!

I supposed before that Orcs destroyed the lands?
Nah, in all seriousness I hope that you do get the lands cleaned somehow, even though I might not be able to help.

Pardon for the large font, I did it on one thread and suddenly it's like stuck like that. >__>

You'll find that it's new players that do this stuff. I know alot of pvpers. None of which would do this stuff. Perhaps you refer to new players who THINK they're pvpers.
