The winds of change are blowing everywhere, and in all respects looking at the server today is nothing like looking at it back in November 2013 (if for anything else, because back then there was no Dynmap). And nowhere is this more evident than in Spawnington, which went from being a VERY lucky testificate village that spawned near the world spawn, to a bustling metropolis filled with Skyscrapers and fancy buildings. The whole of Spawnington isn't even finished yet, and already it's a dizzying array of buildings and project works that could take a prospective Tiny weeks to explore thoroughly.
That also includes a lot of my attempts at building or at least zoning necessary structures in Spawnington, and this has happened so fast no doubt many of you are wondering what half this stuff is. Fortunately, here's a quick run-through of all the new Spawnington structures to keep you informed... ^^
Cay's
Why celebrate Cayfie once a year, when now you can do it 24/7!! This gorgeous pink sugary structure is the only building currently in Spawnington purely dedicated to 8x players, and it offers all special merchandise available during the Cay Day 2014 celebrations. So if you missed the fireworks, now you can buy a few and relive the memories (though not for free). :)
Construction Site
Possibly the most beautiful waste of space ever made, complete with port-a-john and a huge construction crane built for people who miss the old Transit Hub crane. :)
Utility Building
Yes, as in where you would normally go to pay your electric bill (for those very few of you who pay their own electric bill, lol). A great place to get free gravel and [soon] cheap glowstone -- anything to help you make the server great, interconnected and lag-resistant! It's also 8x-accessible, allowing crazy giants access to the rooftops for some dangerously high and lethal parkour. ^^
Liz Tower
Actually the first experimental use of WorldControl to build something cool and useful in Spawnington. I donated to our [then] only Deputy at the time as an appreciation for her hard work, but mainly just to get someone else to decorate the interior, lol. :P
Assembly Hall
Our own answer to the United Nations! A place for players of all towns and sizes to come together, and talk about peace and cooperation. Or just brawl and horse around. :P
Spawnington Mall
Digitally remastered in THX, for ultimate in quality picture and sound! Still empty at the moment, but stores will come... and at least the exterior architecture is cool and nifty, with the characteristic "wood" feel so common for testificates. The giant creature is pictured here still wearning the Cay Day 2014 mask... it can't be helped, he's taken a liking to it. :3
Cinema
The cost of movie tickets these days is outrageous! So why not stop by the Spawnington cinema for cheap tickets, cheap food, cheap seats and cheap bathroom stalls! it may not be immediately obvious, but there is also some giant accessibility on the side of the building... they even have their own ticket booth as well.
Spawnington Transporation and Freight Underground Station
The heart of our future subway system interconecting all townships in the Greater Spawnington region. Why do we need trains when we already have teleports? Because trains are cool, nuff said! :)
Fire Station
Few people realize they CAN help with building projects in Spawnington, and the fire station is a perfect example of players wishing to take some building off my hands. The Fire Station is a great place to start given I had zero idea of how to make it myself. :)
Radio Tower
Complete with mini radio station at the bottom. This tower is officially the highest peak in Spawnington as of this writing. Climb to the very top for an awe-inspiring view of everything, including the top of the World Tree. The tower is also Giant accessible, just find the stairs on the side. :)
Hockey Stadium
And yes, it IS 8x-accessible, but only the bleachers... the game is still only for 1x and 2x players. ;)
Take part in the fastest, wildest mini-game available in this part of the server world! :D
Landfill
Located in the nearby suburb of BoonDumps, this is where all garbage in Spawnington winds up. And like RL garbage dumps, this one will only get bigger and bigger over time! Just remember... one person's junk is another person's treasure! :D
BatPort
I may have mentioned this before in the v0.14.2 update post, but we now have an official BatPort in the city! No string or bats necessary, you can buy them in the terminal -- just be sure to use the cobweb dispensers when getting on bats, to ensure you have time to catch 'em! :)
Grassy Knoll Skyway
Located near the new suburb of Grassy Knoll, this deck-truss bridge offers safe passage over the monster-infested swamps, into the area that may one day become a new town. Lots of amazing new development is happening there as we speak. :)
St. Spook's Memorial Hospital
And finally,... a place to go to for medical help after you've died one to many times. :P
Gifted to Spookster who was gracious enough to finish the Spawnginton-Glasgrow road! True, he whined a lot before about not getting his own tower in the city -- but when you do great things that save me a good deal of time, I'm amenable to a favor or two. :P
