Great! It'll be cool to see scrying work. Might be a little difficult to get live "video" of whatever you are scrying, though. well, its pretty much impossible i think to get live video on a block. but scrying would be cool, maybe it could show your screen the viewpoint of the other persons bowl, with a border around the edge to look like a bowl. Darn, I kind of wanted to see it happen, I don't think that's possible either because you can't show video in minecraft... I guess that will have to go in the enhancement mod. But we could still have long-distance messaging at a small energy cost! Yep, we're planning to have chat local, so you can only hear people in a small radius. This works very well with what we have in mind! we should have shouting and whispering too. so you type /w to whisper and /s to shout and just type normal to talk normal. also we should have an action thing to assist roleplay, like if you type *holds out hand* it will show up as Lubenqwe: holds out handIsn't that just what *action* is for? Seems kinda unnecessary. Also can some one PLEASE write an official thread on everything magic, like magic research and such and then lock it? because i want all the information in one place, idont even know what magic research is yet! I guess I'll make it, though I also don't know too much about it...

We can put the player scrying in a third-person view of the player being scried, similar to when we teleport a player to the mind-battle arena but leave a NPC "copy" behind.

How much will the PM take? It should be based on the distance shouted, like 1 thirst level for every 250 blocks it is traveling.

And wouldn't that kind of make talking taking thirst kind of useless? Usually I'm directing my statements to one person, not everyone in the vicinity, so I would just always use it instead of normal chat... doesn't seem right. I mean 1 thirst level for 250 blocks is pretty far. Ok fine 1 level per 500 blocks. Then you could say something from all the way across the map without losing too much thirst.

You would die if you tried to PM someone halfway across the map. :-P

Also, the thirst balancing is up to you, maybe 1000 or 2000 blocks per thirst level. I don't know how many thirst levels you have in total... But like I said it shouldn't be completely free to use a PM.

At max we will probably only get about 20 people on at a time until the word about it gets out. So we shouldt worry about the server being overcrowd. And if the day comes that we do have 100 people online, then we will have to rethink some of the plugins and probably upgrade the server xD

It could easily get from 50 to 100 on at once.

I always kind of imagined that not a lot of people would be on at once, and we would have to "grow" the server.

But that's cool. Less people to argue with . I think that with a map this large, it WILL be more fun with more players, because it will never really get crowded. It's much more likely for it to end up kind of lonely and deserted.

We could meet up at Daret Bob would reply @yourname I spawned in Yazuac, I'll be there in a few minutes! Then you could say... @bob Cool! I'll just loot some chests. These messages don't relate to roleplay or local chit-chat. Just a feature to ping your friends no matter where they are on the map.

I guess I just wanted to make it similar to using the elves' modified mirrors for communication. It requires a small amount of energy, but works over long distances. Maybe instead there could be a delay of 30 seconds or a minute between communication to simulate the message being mailed? I dunno. I don't really like it being free.
