This was an interesting experiment and a rather good read. However, I don't think the fact that Steve''s respawn received enough attention. Respawning allows people to act with minimal consequences. ****-ass griefer gets iced doing his thing, and he is out what? A pick and shovel? Faction member gets killed in a fight, respawns by his bed, then rejoins the battle with little lost? Most people get killed in the real world, and they no longer get to impact it in any meaningful way. Populations are finite, and human work is a resource.
While running an experiment on how a bunch of immortals would react in a tiny world is cool, I think this experiment would have worked better with a death ban in place. I am guessing that the player base would have culled itself down to what was sustainable within the confines of the map during an initial period of chaos, and then a fraction of the original player base would lead a mostly peaceful existence for a while until a player got bored and tried to shake things up.
I say Pahimar should release EE3 as Chickenbones does his updates: Whenever it's finished or a week after the last person asks; whichever comes later. We don't need boneheads like this rushing Pahimar and breaking forum rules.
Well, I am obviously very new here, and I can see that the rules are pretty clear about not pestering mod creators to update, but that does that really extend to forbidding expressing excitement at the impending release of a mod? I mean, EE2 is probably my favorite content adding Minecraft mod in the world, and I am looking forward to EE3 as much as anyone else here, but does saying as much really violate the forum rules?
