Firstly, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place! It seemed like the most relevant, but if not, sorry about that.

Basically, I've finally got some time to work on an adventure map. I've been wanting to make one for a while, and I've got some basic ideas. Before I do though, I want to sort of get a few things from the people who play adventure maps - i.e. Minecraft players.

My question is - what plots/story arcs are too overused so that I can avoid them? I mean, we all know the 'dug too deep and awoke something in the darkness' is way overused, as is 'mobs are taking over the world' - are there others you're getting bored of and think I shouldn't use?

Also any other elements, like certain traps or typical events?

Basically, I'm asking you what you're sick of seeing in custom maps so that I know what to avoid when making mine.

Thanks.
