Sklotopolis will be 5 years old very soon and Novus will be 3 years old in October.
Please discuss what you would like to see on Sklotopolis focusing on servers / gamemodes but not features / mods.
For example do you want to see a permanent PVP server? Connected or not connected to other servers? Do you want to see a temporary PVP server not connected to the PVE servers?
Can you imagine playing on a fresh start PVE server which will reset after a few months?
Do you want to see additional PVE servers? How should they look? Should they be connected?
Do you want donator only PVE servers giving supporters some extra room?
And much more, please discuss anything related to this topic.

An new PVE Server would be nice. As a contrast to the existing ones with very few wood. A desert maybe, where even iron is on short supply. On this server, you cant get money from voting. Also, you cant sail there, so you need to start a new char.
As an idea: on this server no sprouts. To keep the trees rare.

But no sprouts will keep from building beds or anything because they all need wood.

What would y'all think of redoing Caza in Novus size? (I happen to have juuuust the map lol).
New PvE deeding server would be cool too in its own way (I have juuuust the map too.... guess i'm proud of it heh heh)

we are also now able to create 100% custom maps meaning bigger mountain ranges, many islands where mining is actually possible, rivers, etc... no longer the generic mountains in the middle and plains at the coast look if you know what I mean
a new map would look greatly different from the maps we have right now (in a good way)

I like the idea of a new custom map. Like you said Engineer, one with many islands or maybe a few large islands. And, each island can start off with only specific wood/fruit tree types so if you want all types, you'll have to travel to the other islands to gather sprouts.
I'd hate to start a brand new character if this new map was not connected but then if it was connected, it would defeat the purpose of limiting wood/fruit tree types on islands since we can just bring everything with us from the old servers.
With all that said, I say a custom new map with a few large islands (more coastal areas to settle) and connected to existing servers.

Same, hand sculpted *looks a bit insulted and dramatic and hurt and offended and traumatized and..* What software btw? Fun to make new ones here and there.
Back on topic:
For new PvE deeding map, I'd favor something with more lakes and isthmuses, sort of (very loosely) based on Release's map style. Much taller mountains too and Lib-deep oceans.
Re: "Few trees server" idea, would be fun taken to the extreme, desert-only server where it's literally the players on the ground making the biomes.
And I'm gonna thread into dangerous territory just to satisfy my curiosity: Would something Xanadu-sized be prohibitive in terms of hardware costs to run it?

i think a new map of some kind that doesn't wipe would cultivate our new hardware very nicely. very hard to turn it into a poll, u kinda wanna select every, one.

We have the hardware to launch multiple new servers so a xanadu sized server would probably not be a problem (I dont know how performance would be but theoretically it is possible) but I think an 8k map would just be too big for our needs. Although it rly is tempting to have such a huge map it would more likely turn into a single player game on that server. For the maps we use World Machine. I would be rly curious to see your maps btw if you would like to show them.

A pvp server could be really fun if we had a lot of people participating... maybe have skills transfer when travelling between pve/pvp, but not items? But I'm guessing it doesn't appeal to most sklotopolis players we are also now able to create 100% custom maps meaning bigger mountain ranges, many islands where mining is actually possible, rivers, etc... no longer the generic mountains in the middle and plains at the coast look if you know what I mean a new map would look greatly different from the maps we have right now (in a good way) This sounds really cool by the way

I must admit, i'm not a pvper my self but it would be fun try maybe. Also it's a whole side of WU we are missing out on. At lest 10% of newcomers ask if there is pvp.

i remember, we had already a pvp server for a month and it wasn't realy successful ^^. i like the idea of a new temporary server which is isolated, with a focus for new players (like the jackal server of WO). a new server like lib/nov make no sense in my mind, this would split the players more and more. i know, dom said no discuss about features/mods, so i'll try it just with "settings" . second idea is a temporary hunting server, just 1024/1024, no respawn of mobs, but a high number of them. for each round, a different main biome and specific mobs. each round will end, if the server is clear from mobs. and at least my third idea. like the second one, but more like an event server. i think, engi have enough ideas for new dangerous invasions. the maps could be changes between the events.

For map (pvp or pve server) a ton of small rocky islands. Think averaged size 30x30 with a few maybe 50x50 scattered around. Low dirt/few forested places at the start.(every island should have a few trees). Other intresting map option could be a crater map. Land around the out side(Very high and nearly complete mountain ring) lake in the middle with maybe an island in the middle of that.
Server should be isolated for first 60 or so days then accessible by boat(maybe epic portal, be nice if they had an use, if pvp).
PvP for the missing aspects of the game would be cool.(Mind you it seems most people that play on pvp servers don't do it for pvp so much as for having an added risk to play).Arduwin knows what I mean on the risk point.

I think it would be intereresting to have a connected pvp Server. where the players can join / make a kingdom and the factions pvp each other.
It could be like an Event A Map 3 Corners , 3 Factions Building up and try to conquer.
