...but I play under the name Rackiela on Minecraft. I love to explore and mine so my places tend to be further out as the map expands. I pick a spot, mine it out, move to the next one. By being far out, I don't interfere with what others are building. Currently, I have three spots - a spot I currently mined out and a new spot which I'm about to mine. I built a nice size house with the resources I mined from the first place. This will be the base of my mining operations. You can see them on the map here:

I have another I can't find on the map. It's built into a mountain. It is further out then these two places. I found it exploring one day. I would have mined it out already if not inspired to build "something" after looking at the awesome buildings on the server.

I tend to help new people on the server. If you need something, don't hesitate to ask.
