Other people will eventually make new cities, therefore opening up trading, with caravans, roads, and various other ventures.

I really don't think there is any way around this, like at all. We just need to hope that notch makes coal powered minecarts fast and relatively coal efficient to stave off the inevitable migration.

yea, a form of fast transportation would be the best way to counter this. Plus it would be incredibly cool to have elevated mine cart tracks crossing the land.

Or at least allow us to attach mobile chests or ridable carts to ridable animals, allowing for transportation and trade caravans.
How about trains? Aka lines of minecarts.
DOT anybody?

The best train would be one so long that it takes up the entire loop of track. "All aboard! Wait, never mind, we're already there."

I think it's kind of impractical. I think a walled city on the ground would do just as well, and it would be easier for miners and for people who want to go to other cities.

Yes, I'm quite late. If you haven't gotten it yet and if you have GIMP then make a new layer above your skin layer, paste the AO image in there, and set the render mode to multiply. Then save as a .png or whatever and you're set.
If you have photoshop then I don't know.

I imagined each house would have a small garden that players could farm. As for crop trampling - if you put glass blocks one block above the growing crops, they won't get damaged.

No currency won't work because you do not understand how it works in real life, and how it won't translate into minecraft. Gold is actually worthless in minecraft, it can't be used for tools, it's not even that attractive, there's no reason to use it. Not only this, but you need to mandate the use of coins through force to every shopkeeper and every farmer etc, why would I give you my diamond pickaxe for 100 gold coins? The gold coins are worthless where the pickaxe isn't.
Take sigma's idea of communism or some form of trading with tools (I'll give you 4 iron pickaxes for that pig etc etc), just not currency.

Real money is actually totally worthless, at least in the United States, and it works just fine here. I don't see why everyone is so against currency. If you hate it so much, you don't even have to use it, you can just barter.

No currency won't work because you do not understand how it works in minecraft, and how it won't translate into real life. Dollars and pounds are actually worthless in real life, they can't be used as a resource or to make things, its not even that attractive, there's no reason to use it. Not only this, but you need to make sure all shopkeepers use them, why would i give you my diamond pickaxe for £500,000? Money is worthless whereas my pickaxe isn't .
i hope i proved a point.
Also will no-one understand that trading items exists in real life too and its normally called bartering or something similar, and i believe we already agree'd that we could trade items
(i.e. if i've been mining all day and someone else has been woodcutting, i could trade 64 cobblestone for around 50 wood(sorry but cobblestone is more common))
And as pagekind i believe we should all either agree on how much each item is worth or let individual sellers decide their own prices.
