Got an idea? I want to set some server wide goals. Here's a few of the things I'm thinking about:

Highway - a raised or fortified path cross country to interesting zones
Waterway/Slide - Fast transportation OR just a lot of fun
Welcome Center - A more secure, explanatory/helpful safe area or building at the spawn point.

I think a highway would be pretty badass... especially if it's well lit you wouldn't expect to run into too many mobs on your journey.

Maybe have some small shelters along the way (like you would expect to see gas stations) with supplies to replenish lost hearts if you did encounter baddies along the road, or just a place to hole up if you want to log off.

After seeing the waterway video, that would be a lot of fun to ride. Tomorrow I'm going to see if there are other videos of that Minecraft world to get some hints on how it was done (side views of the waterway).
