I have a more interesting expansion to this idea so that it doesn't get boring, which it probably is destined to do.
There used to be an idea for the survival server where there would be districts like in the Hunger Games. I was thinking we could have an idea like that, where everyone can join any district they want and all the districts work together to make an amazing world. The transportation could involve minecart tracks for whichever district does that, the combat could involve making armouries and enchanting weapons to make them the best they can be, farming could be just getting tons of food.
You could work with friends from different districts, work alone, but all towards a common goal of making an epic world. You could also change districts if you want to work on something different.
It could be fun, and of course we will have all those people that will work away and just do their own thing, but I think this could be a really fun thing to do and a great way to get to know people.
Also, added to original thread so it's more noticeable to new viewers
