I just thought I'd post that I haven't abandoned it. The previous world used a massive amount of bricks for it's size and was badly made. I'm rebooting it (I've already started.) in an (unevenly) cubescaped map. Because of the larger cubes I will be able to make it much larger. I will keep all the script from this version and continue working on them.
I plan to release it as a gamemode when I finish.
We have a gameplay video up here. (Although we never go into the forests for the sake of the video.)

Questions!
What is North?To sum it up, a medieval version of DayZ in the Arctic Circle.
Can I play?!We released North - Last Man Standing on March 15th. North - Survival, will be released on March 25th.
More details?We have 3 tiers of gear. (3 types of swords and armour and ect).
Lighter armour allows you to move much faster than heavy armour but does not do nearly as much defense. Without a vehicle, a heavily armoured man can't get around fast. This lowers the rate of banditry as players can get away from a heavily armoured bandit.

Features!
ProfessionsYou can pick a job at the start, (Doctor, Military, ect) to determine you're spawning equipment. A doctor could easily get away from a horde as zombies are slow but strong, although they might not be able to get far into areas before fleeing. A soldier could take many of them out but will eventually fall without medical supplies or a friend.
Body TemperatureIt has a body heat script so that in the wilderness you will slowly freeze to death, but if you can find (or make) a fire, you will warm up and slowly regain health. It works as "Heat Zones" (Bricks we place around fires and warm areas.) inside them you slowly regain health and quickly warm up.
EnergyThe playertype walks on default so you move slowly. You can run by holding the right mouse button, but your energy will slowly drain. If you continue to move or fight while it is gaining, it will go up slowly. While if you stop, rest, and end movement completely, it will gain very quickly and be full in seconds.
LootingWe have a looting system, (Which isn't completely finished) in which "Item Bricks" are placed, which have chances to spawn certain items. So we might place ItemBrick_MilitaryLow in a guard tower, so random lower level military items will spawn there until picked up, in which it will disappear for a few minutes and then randomize again. While ItemBrick_Medical might be placed in a church or pharmacy.
Applications
You can apply to be a betatester who is allowed in the server to test it out and hopefully contribute to it. Betatesters will also get a special profession to start out with.
Betatesters and contributors are different. Betatesters still need to help build at some parts.
To apply, just post below stating that you'd like to be a betatester, and your BL_ID, posting any links to gallery threads or creations you've made will help but are not required. No forms are needed.
Betatesters: Zenzil (We love you Zenzil.)

Question: Should horses be bound to the player? (If they find one.)
Yes, having to manage the horse would be too hard. Simply having it teleport to you would be great. -20 (40%)
No, they should have to keep it away from danger and hide it from thieves, while not riding it. -30 (60%)
