Wow Willem, that sounds fantastic! If you could really be one of my first donors for this server, that would really, really, help out! When I get my server on a more dedicated connection, I certainly get in contact with you.
Alright everyone, I have added two more plugins to my server: WorldEdit and WorldGuard. I have used WorldGuard to more accurately define the borders of my spawn area and have set up a no-PvP, no-griefing zone within this area. I THOUGHT that one could use WorldGuard to define an area and then use the Factions plugin to make that area into a SafeZone... but I couldn't figure that out. So for now, I am using WorldGuard alone to protect my spawn. I just hope that the two plugins (Factions and WorldGuard) do not interfere with each other.
Another thing, thanks for your help with finding good plugins RoboShark. There is one more I forgot to add to the list: I need a good plugin that can set teleportation and spawn points like if one wanted to travel to the shop, they could just type /shop.
Thanks!
