Exactly, but make sure nobody who is not from PureZC goes on the server, also people should create a character with their PureZC name.

Not sure if we care, but should it be a small, medium, or large world?

Exactly, but make sure nobody who is not from PureZC goes on the server, also people should create a character with their PureZC name.

My first (and only) character is already named "TS."

As for new players vs. existing ones, why start over? I worked hard to get where mine is (which isn't all the way) and don't want to put that effort into another character again. We can just share the wealth and stuff with each other if we used existing ones but one was higher leveled than the other.

Depends on how big our group is. Small worlds are actually pretty big in and of themselves, but medium or large would be good if we had a pretty large crowd. *has only tried small*

[Moon]

We should make a medium sized world, It's the best, it doesn't lag.

[ShadowTiger]

Agreed. There actually isn't that big of a difference between the three sizes. I mean, yes, of course there will be a significant difference between a Small and Large world, but a Large world, I think, is only twice as large as a Small world. That's it. So a medium world will do just fine.

I feel that not creating characters from scratch, i.e. at the onset of the server, without importing them from single player or from another server, is very cheap, and almost cheating. We play together, start together, work together, farm together, build together, and craft together. Or at least we don't try to dramatically outpower one another, and hog the server.

So, when should we do this? I'm think we should tomorrow.

Who has a PC that's always on that can host the server though? Alas, I've tried, and nobody can connect to me. I can only connect to others.

My computer is always on, the phone runs on it.

I like the idea, I'd be up for it. Playing with the community, of course, would make it more fun than any old multiplayer. Plus I'm a bit of a Terrariaddict, once I start playing.

I suppose if nobody else volunteers for it, I could start one tomorrow, around 3 PM Eastern Standard time. If that's no good for a lot of people, we can adjust that. I have more time on Saturdays than I do on other days of the week. Could give it a go. If people are able to come and go from the game, I think the honorable thing to do is to only continue if at least two people are present in the world, which we will call "PureZC". Medium map was the agreed on size, and new characters, to put everybody on an even foot, and we build together, and our characters are unique to the one map.

[ShadowTiger]

Cool. I'm always on then.

I did....

Cool. I'm not sure whether or not people want to create their own houses, but if anybody chooses to, and is very protective of their creations, I think it might help to establish a few simple rules:

1. The first floor should be a common area that thus anybody is allowed to pass through, to allow for above ground passage for any player. If you wish to keep it enclosed, there should be a door on both sides of the first floor, which both must be within jumping height, in case you don't want annoying zombies pounding at it, but still allow for easy player access.

2. One floor must include space for one NPC (whatever is required for that), so that those who are building a house at least contribute something in that regard. It most likely would be the second floor to satisfy that earlier on, but it could be anywhere but the first floor.

3. The rest of the house you have full freedom to design however you wish, except that you should not invade the air space directly above someone else's house, so that they are also allowed to expand above their own house. If you wish to create a skybridge between neighboring houses where both are tall enough to make possible, that is fine though.

4. If you want to claim a house as yours, make a sign.


And ah, thanks for clearing that up Yoshidude.

[Moon]

I would like to make my own house, also I think it would be better if you host it.
First I gotta get the Terraria Update though.

[The Satellite]

It should have downloaded automatically. But anyways, if we're all down for this, let's set a time and I'll do my best to show up on the server at the right time. This'll be fun...
