I appreciate the advertizement.
Basically, a tl;dr version is:
My village is divided up into 2 parts. The lower, ground floor has small plots that you may build in for free. The first plot is given to you while you have the ability to buy more plots for expansion. The higher, platform floor has larger plots that are cheap ($300). You may, like the smaller plots, buy more of these to expand.
My village also has a recently restored sandstone/glowstone arena. I have received good feedback from the people who have seen it.
My village, like Awesome said, has a player owned shop. The shop, for the most part, has minerals, food, and tools selling for equal or lesser value than the market.
My village also has a free, melon and pumpkin public farm for every member to use.
Basically, I am making it a safe haven for new players. However, I would like to see some experienced builders show some interest so I don't end up with cobblestone igloos. I will post up some screenshot either late today or tomorrow. Hope you all like it!
