Now with visitors it would be easy to have realms represent neighborhoods of a city rather than a whole city.

Would also be nice to have a type of door that only members could use.

All neighborhoods can expand independent of others, minus the city hall realm in this picture:

You mean like an iron door? that might actualy be a good idea, letting realm members use iron doors the same way they would wood, while visiters need to use the switches, buttons, ect.

i was wondering if we can be members of multiple realms, similar to the way we can be members of multiple cities in the current server. I own a city, and am alos a member of 1337hellwick, and aquaria.

as for the whole lighter thing, meh, as long as i can light my nether portal when the nether works. there was one thing i was wondering though, is there any chance you could release 2.0 before the next big update? notch is planning to make torches burn out after a set time(probably after the nether works on smp). at that update, all existing torxhes will be converted to lanturns, while new torches will burn out. it would be nice if we could get in before this update so we don't have to run in and out of the nether for light stone dust(already having a substantial amount of to hold us over).

p.s. yay for visitor status for non-members. i can stop fixing griefing!

All of this sounds awesome! Maybe allow TNT in certain realms too?

Quick update, as a last minute decision before beta, we've increased the difficulty of realm expansion by 2.5x.

We've been testing it, and this should be better overall. Be sure to let us know tomorrow during beta if it's too hard/easy to expand a realm.

Is there anything else you specifically want us to be testing / watching for? This is likely the first time it has been subjected to so many people beating it up at once, you probably have a better idea than us as to what potential issues may be. Then again, in my experience, 'users' tend to have a way of breaking even the most thoughtfully created code.

Looking forward to it!

Pretty much, just see if you can find something that's not working properly. We'll be monitoring the server log the entire time, to see if any issues pop up.

Two new commands have been added:

/realm setwarp (change the warp location within the realm)
/r <message> (send a message to all members within the realm you're a member of)

The for the great work and adding those so quickly after everyone suggested them can't wait for official 2.0

We're also making it so that chests in realms, even public realms, can't be destroyed by users that aren't a member of the realm.

I wanna poke so many holes in that chest thing, but i want it so much...

Ok, i like the idea, but..

People will build their houses out of chests. Make your entire house out of chests spaced so that no one can get in and your public realm has untouchable buildings.

On the other hand, if a griefer wants to wreck a warehouse, it will take him much longer to actually throw everything out of the chests. Maybe even a couple seconds longer.

Unlikely. If we find a house made out of chests, we'll just destroy it. Fairly simple.
