Hai Folks.
The Warp to The Spawn is Ninjanspawn
First of all some thanks.
Fullartin for help with the roads.
Droid, Arouka, Knoparen and Michael_Scott for help flattening land and laying Grass.
TheMZL for his Magic with Mellunz.
Aconan for Incredible patience and Impeccable advice.
Anyone who gave advice, opinions or Materials.
Right Then Rant time.
As for the location I chose a small desert, with nearby mountains, a regular forest biome, pine biome, Grasslands biome and plenty of rivers and a nice lake. Oh, and an ocean not too far away. I have also decided to use a ring roads system, with the rings acting as residential areas, giving tons, and tons of space for building, especially with 4 of these rings planned with 50ish blocks between each. As you can see in the below image, the 1st ring is almost complete, and the generally planned layout.

Spawn Building
Here is a piccy of my spawn building, 'The Fountain House' not much else to say about it really

Spawn Point
As you can see in the below image, the player is greeted with only 4 signs, this is to Welcome he Player, but not to Ram infostraight down thier throuats. New Players are Clearyl prompted to follow the 'blue signs' which will lead them to the Info huts, with rules and info. The Spawnpoint is also in an openish area under the spawn building, so that while new players are propted forwards, other players do not have to walk the same way every time and gives them more freedom immediately.

The Viewpoint
The viewpoint is an optional feature that gives stunning views of the surrounding spawn area. This is accessed by water ladder, but the player does not spawn up here, meaning that the viewpoint is not a problem for new players wishing to jump right in. Some images of and from the viewpoint.

The Info Huts
The Blue signs lead the Newplayer Immediately to here. The buildings have been eft open at the front to make it as easy as possible for the new players to get in and not be deterred, that are also both sides of the rads as so to keep the spawn looking neat and balanced, whilst not deterring new plaers from reading. Within the Info Huts the signs will be 3 high, so that as much info can be placed ontop, without aking it hard to read. Piccies.

The Market Plaza
to act as a market district, there are 4 small plots for full size shops selling as much as they want. However the Buisnesses have to be approved before being built there as space is very limited. The backs of the small plots can be extended. For everyone else who wishes to set up shop at spawn, there is the Market Plaza. The market plaza is an arrangement of 36 stall in which players, can, with permission, set up a shop, for free to sell up to 4 different items, However Stallholders can sell up to 8 items, for a fee of 20 gold per quarter. All of this gold will be stored in a safe location, and will only be used to aid community projects such as arenas, anything like that. THE FUNDS WILL NOT BE USED BY MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE FOR OUR OWN GAINS. The market will be run from a building nearby with a layout of shops, and when and if then need to pay for the additional items, along with shop requests and a waiting list should the plaza become fully booked. I will happily oversee the plaza. More piccies.

The Farms
So that players can maintain thier hunger bar enoughas so not to be in danger a small food farm with wheat and melons has been created, using a tiered design, as so to maintain aesthetics. A small tree farm has also been constructed, in a similar fashion with all 3 types of tree as so to promp a little more imagination from new players instead of the plank hut. Pumpkin and Reeds farms are to be added.

[b][u]The Nether and Arenas[/u][/b]
For access to the nether 2 nether portals are directly behind the spawn point, either side of the road. There are 2 portals purely for
aesthetic purpose, they will still link ti the same portal. As for arenas they shall be placed, over the rings roads at certain point if necessary, Pvp,Spleef,Blockey are all be included, and suggestions are welcome. The Areas are to be raised on supports as an aesthetic feature and to free up the roads beneath. The nether Portals.
