These days Ive been playing MCPE and watchin' alot of movies.
Has the staff considered a MCPE server?
Takes about 5 minutes to set up and you can get hosting for like 2$ a month, Would be a good place for those of us who cant survive Mine Apoc to hook up and satiate our thirst for noobstown.
Downsides: No mobs (At all)
Upsides: Towny type plugins, Economy, Accounts with passwords, Multi-world systems, Essentials, Permissions and more

Just a thought

Hey,

This is something we may consider in the future, having pocket edition myself I could totally see the fun in having a pocket edition server. Right now obviously we have higher priorities and it's not something we want to put time and resources into at this time, possibly once everything is sorted with Noobstown we'll find time in the new year.

The worlds are pretty small on PE too... Plus the servers are only capable of holding 10 players at a time, both of which would be major nuisances. The server would have to be reset like once a week and I'm pretty sure no one wants that. I would say that there are many more downsides than upsides at the moment, so I would wait until the PE dev team updates the game to make larger worlds and add more of the items we know and use in Minecraft do much... Pressure plates and redstone haven't even been added yet, which greatly limits the things you could do. PE is also lacking plugins and mods, as well as texture packs and skins. I don't think Noobstown would be nearly as enjoyable on PE as it is on PC.

Of course, that being said, I would definitely be interested in a PE Noobstown, but not in the near future, at least not until they add some of the stuff from what i said was lacking above.
