I think that it's time for Multiplayer Minecraft to allow a new kid on the block. 
One that isn't a hub server, or that wants to be a hub server. 
So I've been developing an idea that will hopefully come to fruition before the summertime.

This idea is ServerBy6ix.
Serverby6ix, my project, is a futuristic, cyberpunk inspired, role-play environment that melds everything you love about multiplayer Minecraft, the mini-games, the PvP, the social interaction, together in a seamless, constantly updated world.

There isn't a single server trying to break the barrier that hub servers hold.
Don't get me wrong hub servers are quick and efficient, but they're drab and dull.
The only thing that keeps them alive is a strong playerbase and a new minigame that introduces itself when times get a little dreary.
For new servers this is difficult. Without these main two elements it's hard for a new server to remain afloat.
No one wants to be edgy, no one wants to try something new. 
Why do players take such long breaks from Minecraft at times? It gets boring, and all thats out there outside of survival singleplayer is hub servers. An endless sea of repetitive, dime a dozen, copy-cats.
Minus a select few servers that remain unique, this is the sad blocky reality we live in.


I'd like for you to take a chance and see what I've got cooking.
I hope it allows a new era of Minecraft servers to dream big and strive to achieve big.


I explain my server concept pretty well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjF8NYr1lYA


The trailer I made originally can be viewed on the main page of my IndieGoGo fundraiser: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/serverby6ix-the-future-of-minecraft-begins-here/x/3510512#home


The fundraiser needs $2,500 by April 22nd, 2014 in order for it to come to fruition. I'm hoping we can get close.


This project, this server is a dream of mine and I need all the help I can get.
I appreciate the time you took out to read this message. Feel free to show as little or as much support as you'd like, something as little as a tweet would mean the world to me.


Thank you,
Macintoth


P.S. And yes, I will be whoring myself out on the internet just to catch a bit of momentum. So I apologize if this all comes off a little brash.


EDIT: As of April 16th, 2014 the first IndieGoGo goal has been met. We're 22.6% of the way towards the ultimate goal, $2,500. Thank you to all the supporters.

How are you planning on setting this up? Do you already have developers? I'd be willing to talk to you about doing some (free?) work, as this project has a great motive and idea.

Well I guess you could say I'm the lead developer. I have a project manager. I have a programmer who's taking on a lot of work. We have a good bit of staff and we're hiring a great build team with some of the server funds generated. What work were you thinking about doing? I appreciate the praise on the project motive and idea, it's got a lot of room to keep growing bigger and bigger.

Dude, You are amazing. Ive always wanted to do this on my server. When i started my 3rd server (which is not up anymore i have a new one) when thinking on what it should be i wanted it to be like real life, i wanted it to start with school. You can get a job and get money. One of these jobs would be a airport manager or a pilot. One of these jobs would be a Bee Keeper. There would be citys and countrys you can start off in. Wars. I will definitly diamond this. I give you the best of luck and one day hope to be like this server :)

Well I'm not sure if there will be jobs on the server that may come later.
But there will definitly be missions and quests, which we're calling "jobs"  to do. Plenty of unique storylines to uncover.
Thanks for the vote of confidence and the diamond. :D

We ended up changing it up and took some inspiration from it.
Where did you go? Tried contacting you for about two weeks.
Glad to see you're still alive :D
