This is Just a Thought...

The Idea: Map Jumping
This thought is to enlarge servers it it proves possible.
Map jumping would be a server with a set amount of maps to the limit of probably 5, upon entering server a text box would be pop up giving you the choice buttons that the Host has already set such as, Kitchen, Slopes, Bedroom, Plate, Construct.
Clicking on one of these maps which of course warp you straight to that map (hopefully with no real load like when entering just a simple warp) This way each map would have its own players and its own builds...so one map could be a freebuild another a DM, Ect.

The Problem
One of the possibly many problems that could show up is that there is only one host for lets say 5 maps, the way to possibly fix this is to either personaly assine a Super Admin to each map which however isn't that fair to them because that then doesn't give them the freedom of roaming through maps. OR a type of key tied survalience gui, therefore pressing "L" would allow you to look around Map 2 in the admin camera mode and so on.

Conclusion:I believe thats all for now, tell me what you think I don't even mind the flaming as long as its reasonable....also please keep this topic ON topic, thanks

this is a good idea but..... there are big problems.  For one, the server would get really laggy, for two, in the query screen, which map would be shown? for three, you can sort of do this by starting dedis.  it just takes a little longer to load.

That would be pretty epic. Once you were in one map, would you
be able to warp to another? If so, the host could just everyonce in
a while change to all the maps, to see if anyone is spamming or anything.
It would also be nice if there was a chat mode, like team chat, where people
from all maps could talk. Also, I think it would be cool if you could set a spawning
map, and then a pop-up would ask if you wanted to stay on that map or go to another.
It may be difficult to do, but it would be cool.

 Hope this can be developed,

Guys I found a solution.

OnActivate > Player > WarpToServer > Password:(If any) > IP: (fffff)

[Gadgethm]

like I said, this would really be laggy on old computers (like mine :[ )

How would a host be able to keep track of all the activity on his server? I wouldn't want to go map-jumping all over the place to make sure noobs are behaving.

By the way, title is kinda ambiguous, you might want to change just in case some noob gets all brown town and reports you.

Guys this sounds simple.

An event to take you out of the server and make you join to another server.

but then you would have to reload all the datablocks...

But who cares? Its worth it.

 It would load to the Host's chosen default map which is also the one where you will first spawn then the text box will come up, unfortuatly a full chat for all maps would be crazy and completly unable to follow however I forgot to mention that the Host or assined Super Admins would be able to key tie certain map chats that would just form around their screen....

^ No that would just cause a complete server spam

That is something I was hopping may be over come such as loading EVERYTHING at the beginging allowing you to casualy warp from map to map

NiXiLL made something like this before; only difference was the different maps were different boxes, not buildings. I'm sure it could be edited though.
