This is Qualia's second major revision. The first was an update on the original, and this one is an overhaul. Qualia was built 3 years ago in Minecraft 1.0.0, meaning it is very outdated. More importantly, we built it when we couldn't build all that well.
In discussing updating Qualia, we considered revamping the existing buildings a bit, but soon started talking about how the layout doesn't allow for much expansion beyond the main market square. We decided we should just remake the town, and make it fucking glorious. The spawn town of a server should really shine. It's the first thing new players see, it's a place where you are going to spend time, and it gives everyone something to explore.
Our plans for the new Qualia use the land much better, give it a better flow, and we aim to make a detailed city that you can explore and find new things each time you do. We want it to be something worth screenshotting, something to make new players have some awe and inspiration for their own towns. It'll have shops, it'll have houses, and it'll be a lot bigger because it's expanding into the Qualia Meadow area (it already has, go take a look).
The historic Qualia will live on in a few of the structures as well as the same 1.0.0 landscape. Several of the shops will return but in new, much prettier buildings. The Parliament building will be re-erected, unchanged, in its well-known phallic glory. Most importantly, there will still be pointless references to cheese.
Oh, and for anybody worried that the old Qualia is gone forever... it isn't! It will live on forever as a Hunger Games style arena on a floating island in VCGames
