What do I think: Epicness!!!

Guys, emerald always only comes in pockets of one, and only under extreme mountain biomes.

I'm confused... Are you building ON the islands, or no? If not, I think you should.

I kind of feel like this is OP. It would make rails useless, and Enderchests would be useless if you can just carry your stuff there. I like the idea of crying obsidian being added, but not another portal. Super-lag anyways.

I don't think this is a good Idea. People have too much fun puking stuff on each other.

Thats ********,irl u starve in a week you idiot...

No, it's 40 days, bro, hate to embarrass you.
Also, I would just like to clarify to everyone: Notch still works on Minecraft, as he is the manager on Mojang, he just let Jeb lead the actual design of the game itself. He's Jeb's boss, therefore he works on Minecraft.
More on topic, I think that thirst should be added in, but only on hardcore mode. It would kind of ruin survival, and hardcore mode is there specifically to be hardcore and realistic, so it fits the bill.

For some reason people keep naming things New "Whatever" (Is there an Old Wyntersdale? If so, pretend I said nothing) and saying there own creation is awesome. I kind of see that as a bit cocky. Anyways, I suggest setting render distance higher before you take a snapshot, it helps me see it better.

i second what Jillian just said.

This Sucks! Lol jk, pretty good builds ;D

TNT. Makes everything look awesome XD

Alright, SO. Before anyone says a word about port cities being to common, I just want to say its not like I've seen someone else's work and decided, "Hey, I'll get a buttload of rep if I make a city like that one!" No, rather, I'm going BACK to port cities, as this will not be my first one, but I didn't like my first one for various reasons (mostly because it was stupidly placed and I had no room to expand). Anyways, back on topic before I get into Glythbridge, please, please, please, please - don't bug me about not being original. If it's good, it's good. If not, leave the topic and take a cookie on your way out
So, moving along, don't let this first update get your hopes down on the whole thing. This is simply the "Pre-Building Phase" In other words, it's late, and I don't feel like building a castle, but I wanted to get this up before I forgot. So This first update is mostly Sir Atdosk surveying the land he has been given. Here we go then:

Sir Atdosk surveyed his new land, the mouth of the River Glyth. The queen had set this aside for him in the hope of acquiring a useful trade post, and she had certainly picked the perfect place. Atdosk could not have ever prayed for a better location to begin a settlement. The Bay of Saern would provide plenty space for docks and shipyards, and the river provided even more space for buildings that were better off on the water's edge. This settlement would make Atdosk very, very rich indeed if he stayed here, but he still had to worry about pirates. Any wealthy port city was a target to those violent thieves, and this place would surely one day become a very wealthy port city.

The Mouth of the River Glyth
While Atdosk went back to Delwyn for his family, he left a small group of settlers behind to survey the surrounding area. When he returned, he was pleased to be told that a valley presented a remarkably perfect trade route. Evidently on the top of Mt. Lance (the tallest mountain along the River Glyth and the Bay of Saern) there was a very large hole as well.

The Valley

The hole in Mt. Lance
Atdosk ordered his castle to be built upon the small peninsula into the river at its mouth. But for now, the workers and nobles alike slept.

What's to come:
Atdosk's Castle

So, there you are, the beginnings of Glythbridge. Leave a comment if you like anything so far, I'll see it tomorrow. Constructive criticism is also welcome.

Also, Just to answer some questions before they get asked:
Texture Pack is an Unedited Johnsmith for those who don't know.
I WILL be posting a download for the unedited world as well as after most MAJOR updates, so you can have the world after 1.2.5. plus my version, but I won't post either for a little while.
Also, the seed is 7841046933250655658 and it will only work in Minecraft 1.2.5
If you have any other questions, Just ask!

What about a grand hall for the drunken lords and ladies in that space of the castle? You can have a wine cellar and what-not set into the cliff, as that would keep it cool. Maybe a fountain or something in the center area?

Phantom, maybe I could build the ruins and show them along with small little colonies, or camps?

I was wondering, can I help with some ideas maybe? I can't mod, but can I work on thinking up some bipedal aliens? Maybe have them have colonies? I could pot some screenies

Idk if the next give-away will be off names in this post or not, so I'm posting here after the firt 25 were already announced. Anyways, if a new post pops up I'll put these in that as well.
Notch

I also made this...
