To be honest, I know I'll be a hypocrite for saying this: But we need to start getting off our butts, and start building. I know I haven't been building in a while, but we need motivation. A way to get people motivated can be a fun project. Possibly an easter egg arena, possibly the spawn, maybe even a parkour course. If we do something fun to build, we will have more people come online, and want to build. After that, we will have people coming on daily wanting to build something. Here's a simplified list for Johto to do:
Johto:
Finish Ruins of Alph
B1 of Goldenrod Dept Store
Fix rocks, trees, and terrain
Then after last step done, make the magnet train
So if I had power, I would let people start building the spawn area (fun project), then after that is complete, start something else that is time-consuming but is you can easily talk to others (Rocks, trees, even terrain), then start assigning people to finish our last cave, and floor. The reason why the cave, and the B1 have not been completed yet, is because they both include redstone that not many people on our server know how to do well. That's why we need someone of authority to give someone that is good with redstone, and can build fast the jobs of finishing the B1 and Ruins of Alph.
And Unova is a different story all together
