I’ve read countless posts and replies mentioning private and or rental worlds and how much they want them but I can’t understand why.
I just see it ruining the community aspect of the game.
Please tell me why you want that update.

It seems a lot of people playing here come from Minecraft and probably bring their habits and liking towards that kind of gameplay.
I don’t mind private worlds being introduced although I fear it would kill the global live.
I think the rented worlds, where you limit other players permissions to entire planet but still remain part of the one universe, is a safer option.

Because we want privacy.
In all seriousness is all about options for me. I like playing multiplayer games and hang with folks but I also like going to my private servers and just chilling alone without people disturbing me and also I can bend the world around me and it doesn’t effect anyone. I still prefer the multiplayer version of course.

I don’t think entire worlds for lonely play would be good for the online environment, but being able to save beaconed builds in case of loss would be nice.
I don’t really understand it either. I don’t think it is good for the community.
That being said, I would consider renting a world if I had some control over its creation. For example, if I could specify that I want red foliage, on dark gray wood for the trees that spawn, and I want red grass on black soil. I want a certain color fog, and certain color rocks. I want extreme mountains as well as flat plains. That kind of stuff.
I would probably rent a world for me to build something. I would probably keep the server public so any one else could also build there. But I want a certain location that doesn’t currently exist.

All that ive heard… just to clarify here some.
Its not going to be some “we lock city doors and have party inside of it”
Its same as other planets just that those who designed the planet had some saying on biome. As said you could pick colors and stuff but couldnt effect on what it spawns. Also all private planets are going to be tier 0 or 1 (starter planet)

I see it working out if Boundless makes it bigger. And by bigger, I mean quite a bit bigger (thousands of players). Otherwise, I feel they’d be bad for the universe.
To me, it goes completely against the whole “everyone plays in the same shared universe” thing.

and also control over who can access the world, so you don’t have to worry about random people digging holes or blocking your long term building plans.

Yes and no. Apparrantly we have mixed info on this. Who knows.
I think it makes sense from a parental control perspective, you want more strict controls over who’s allowed in the environment.
I also think it makes sense for ppl who want to play with the Boundless engine in single-player only mode, or terraria style multiplayer mode. I don’t consider these players a loss as they wouldn’t stick around for the MMO anyway.
I don’t like the idea of MMO reachable planets where players are paying money to generate a specific kind of color (a planet with all black rocks or w/e). Since they have total control over the planet it’s basically a way to convert real money into coins, by being the only person in the game with access to a specific color of block. I think devs should have all the say about what colors are introduced to the economy and when.

All ive heard they give you like a headstart for the planet like 1 month then its open. At least what ive been reading in disc
I agree. Maybe if one can only pick a palette - the world generation system can throw a dozen different colors then, without full control of what specific colors you get for rocks or soils. So, it might be that you get your favorite color in the world, but it’s not a rock that you wanted it for, but gravel or foliage.
I think it’s not so much private worlds that people want, but more like ‘protected worlds’. Planets which are still in the same universe where you just have a bit more control what happens on it.
For me, I would like them for 2 reasons:
- to have a complete planet to toy around with, still connected to the universe, anyone can visit and mine and blabla, but I want to have a say in who is allowed to build or not, or where
- I also just want more planets to visit, more block colours, more, just more!
As for 1. I can also see large (or small dunno) guilds wanting to have their guild stuff on a private/protected server so they can’t be surrounded by people who are trying to get close to the action without their consent.

If all you get is a 1 month headstart that’s just pointless. Some people want to build a 1200s era Russian city, and Pwnzrpwns2009 building a 27 block pink mud hut and disco ball in the middle just ruins your will to keep working on that project. Sure, it’s easy to say “Just plot it all,” but some people have 8 month builds planned with tens of thousands of plots needed. Not to mention Yoshi pixel art, no matter how lovely, also does not belong there.
Besides, who wouldn’t want to build an entire planet with 10 friends?

Then people with enough money just will make another private planet with the same palette until they do get what they wanted…
Cool, then we will have private planets soon then since Aquarius seems to be asking people who want plots there…
Also heard rumours they already have the planet, sooooooo
Additionally, if you can pick a black on black on black world to make yourself rich, so could Pwnzrpwnz2009. Then there would be 2 planets containing “your” exclusive blocks.

It makes sense even if it’s not official.
