    So I was playing Bioshock and the idea dawned on me: should I create an underwater city in Orc's server akin to Rapture? I pitched the idea here to see if people like/dislike the concept.

    Oh, I'll certainly put effort into it if I decide to do it. It's just an idea at the moment but I plan on going somewhere with this. My major concern: if it's underwater, would there be available resources? Afterall, I plan to make the city rest at or near bedrock level. Without proper resources, the appeal for people to join it goes kaput.

    It's hard enought to build a city underwater. But at bedrock? You'll have death notice spams.

    Death notice spams? Not quite sure what you mean by that.

    I'd need to get the layout of the project itself. That alone will take a while. :/ However, that sounds just like what I want; the availability of resources while in a pristine environment. Maybe this can go somewhere after all...

    Isn't there some way to buy your land so others cannot damage it? Also, Grief- err, Creepers don't blow up blocks on this server. That being said: how did your underwater city sustain damage? If it was SP, how did it get damaged?

    A) How much does zoning cost? B) I plan to use reeds as an anti-water barrier whilst working. However, I see your point. I'll see how double reinforcing they city would appear. If it doesn't look too bad, I'll do it.

    I think I can picture it. I want to make the city itself rest around bedrock and perhaps branch out from there.

    Yeah. Similar to that. Not sure how it'll all go down. Still have a LOT to consider.
