    So, because everyone was so supportive of this; I thought to make a discussion thread for this.

    This is my current idea(s)

    Aether becomes free to access;
    All existing pilots get converted into the end rank of {TBD NAME} which allows entry and pvp only, they can pick items up of course, but cannot break blocks. This is accessible to only the old end. Fly is disabled in this. Building is as well

    All existing captains get converted to the end rank of {TBD NAME} which is an upgrade on the previous rank and allows block breaking, as well as building in the new area.

    Fly + would be extended to allow fly in this world.
    EXP would be nerfed beyond all hell.

    The world itself would reset per month like the mining world.

    What do you all think? Post your ideas and suggestions here!

    Sniped first post :p

    Anyway, here's what I was thinking...


    Rank 1: Traveler (25k)
    Gives players permission to enter the End, and to PvP.

    Rank 2:
    Explorer (30k)
    Additionally gives players permission to break and place blocks.

    Remove aether, offer world download later.
    Pilot/Captain ranks become end access ranks, prices increase, perks get moved around a bit.

    Okay, so, for a while now, I've had an idea with the end. Here's the main points:
    • End is enabled
    • Exp is disabled
    • After the reset, like, the first few days, there's a server dragon fight.
      • Anyone can participate
      • Doubled towers and crystals
      • Fly is disabled
      • Exp is only enabled during this fight
      • No PvP until afterwards
      • Dragon egg is either put in the inventory of the player who dealt the most damage/last hit, or not dropped at all
    • The portal is in the expanded end world
    • Entrance by application like aether and nether, but more expensive

    With 1.9, many new blocks and area will be available to explore. Like little End Castle Things with beacons in them

    i guess I'm just not familiar with the 1.9 update xD

    So we would have 1 world that gives access to a 5000x5000 endstone island
    then the more expensive one is a dragon/tower one? what size?

    Please no. Do not have 2 end worlds. 1 world of the new end is enough.

    I dont care btu please please please make the aether either available for all to fly around to see the builds,
    Or make it so a world save can be downloaded,
    It would be a huge shame to see some of the under-rated builds go to waste there.

    I'd like the end to work like the nether works: pvp but fly+ and /v work there. I like the idea of having a rank just for pvp and an other one for breaking blocks/exploring/taking loot. I wouldn't want to see the aether deleted but it makes no difference to me wheter it's made free to ecces or not

    Sounds interesting - so that would mainly be for enderpearl farming? (And possibly an enderdragon fight once a month?)
    Pi like it.
    Pi have it.
    Pi agree.
    Pi likey.
    Pi do.


    Pi want. :X3:

    I like this idea.
    As for everything else:
    Keep aether as it is. If we make it free, grief will be a huge problem.
    I hope by nerf exp you mean minimize the amount of exp Enderman drop, not all mobs! (cuz that will kill spawners).
    -1 to PvP, I hate PvP.
    +1 to fly+ for the End.
    +1 to reset.
    Oh and please allow fly+ for dragon fights, will make things so much easier. (so shush with your ideas monkeyz :D)
    Just so you know, I'm in favor in what will bring me money, not server balance.

    Nicit is right, the aether is hardly used and it is honestly hogging a spot at spawn right now. I say we remove it.

    @JamieSinn also regarding chorus plants (or however you spell them), will they be enabled to grow in the regular worlds when you plant the flowers, or will they be restricted to the new end to keep a strong market for them?

    Could we be able to use Vanilla end portals to get to the end? I think that would be cool and less boring than the standard portals at spawn.
