Feasability of multiple starting spawn locations?

OK! here’s the deal. One my biggest pet peeves in Minecraft as a whole has always been the default spawn location in SMP. I’ve always wished I could make a server where everyone (or at least groups) spawn scattered apart. It opens the floodgates for interesting faction play and PVP. Imagine if a server could organically grow into multiple isolated towns, or set spawn points for pre-created factions and the like. It has, at least partially, been done with bukkit in the past:http://www.curse.com/bukkit-plugins/minecraft/randomspawn

Mostly, I wonder why this sort of thing isn’t more common. There must be good reason, I assume.

Nope. It’s easy enough to do, it just depends on how you want it clustered and if you can convince someone to program it for you.

Don’t put yourself down, everyone was new to something once.
