    So I've been thinking of starting a project in Minecraft based on something from my favorite game, Arcanum. (If you don't know what minecraft is, look it up, its a great game, nothing like arcanum but still) But I'm not sure what to build and am looking for suggestions. I would do Quintarra but it would be the 5th or 6th tree city on my server and that's just been overdone, so any suggestions?

    Perhaps the Elven people there were forced to abandon their trees, because of a great calamity.

    The Wheel Clan, obviously.

    Or Vendigroth. That'd be a challenge.

    What about this kind of calamity?

    Because the gateway to the Void has been opened, severe earthquakes began to plague the whole world of Arcanum. Not only it caused severe changes upon the continents but wild fires as well. The sacred tree city of the Elves was one of the first who became victim of it.

    He wants to build something FROM Arcanum, you stupid oaf. Not Arcanum itself.

    I meant a gate similiar to the one that was in the game Arcanum.

    Perhaps the tree-city were burned down by a new powerful organisation of Elf-hating humans who began a witch-hunt against them.

    @Wolfsbane
    Yea The Wheel Clan and Vendigroth were the first two places on my list of ideas. the problem with the Wheel Clan is its kind of all the same, just a bunch of rooms underground, not much to make it stand out as a homage, it would be kinda cool to work the secret door though. Vendigroth would be more fun because of the ancient remains above ground but those would be hella difficult to get some good detail on, not to mention the underground is HUGE, but would probably be the most fun to do.

    @Arthgon
    I'm not really sure what you're suggesting... building a burnt down elf city? I want to make an homage to Arcanum, not make up something.

    @DarkFool
    Caladon's not bad an idea, im not sure about doing a town though, I play on a server and if I went through the trouble of making a town i would want people to live in it, and no self-respecting minecraft player lives in a house someone else built :p although if i was gonna build a town, i'd probably do shrouded hills.

    Thanks for the suggestions, if you have more, or anyone else does, keep em coming, also if you're looking for a well run, griefer free minecraft server with a great community to play on feel free to join the one listed below, I'd be glad to have fellow arcanum fans join :)

    Oh. I thought that you have said that you want to have something different than a stereo-typical Elven Tree-city like Quintarra?

    What about Tarant and that haunted castle?

    Just ignore Arthgon, he is our resident troll.

    I would suggest Dernholm but that would again just be ruins. I think the underground complex that is Vendigroth would be your best bet. The question I carry to you though is if you were to build the underground city would it be tunnels much like the dwarven city or would it in fact be houses with their own roofs etc under ground. Kind of like a whole town but with the rocks above as the sky, not the ceiling. Otherwise I'm sure you could build a few floating islands and a castle to represent the void.

    Zanza: Hey. It was just a misunderstanding between me and RedCamel.

    Redcamel: Nevermind what I have said about the tree-city. I had (and still too much things on my mind, because it does not go well with an uncle of mine. He is very ill.

    And you should know that zanza is an ex-resident troll. So he should not point his dirty finger to me.

    There you go again Arthgon, trying to troll Zanza by suggesting he doesn't have clean hands. The depths some people sink to.

    Jojobobo I know that you are new here. But. It just felt wrong and sounds a bit hypocrite. Because some years ago Zanza did the same.

    Oh well...never mind. *sigh* Yes. I know that I react a bit strong, but it just that I am quite worried about my uncle. I already lost many friends and who holds dear to me. So I really do not want to lose another one. Sorry, if I have been trolling or had a bad attitude.
