I had a great idea for a game mode and an awesome server network, and I wanna make it. I will need experienced plugin devs-

oh wait.....

I don't have enough money for a server.

What should I do? I really want to make this server and I will give anybody a rank if they support me in any way.

NetworkPCEYou need to work at home to get enough for the startup, due to EULA you can't earn any money from your server anyways. Unless you want a sue by Microsoft up your ass.


Well,
Was there not an exception in the EULA? Im pretty sure there was.

You are allowed to charge for access to the server, once players are on the server donor perks are not allowed. Only cosmetic items can be sold such as hats/pets and colored armor...

Donations means paying without expecting anything in return, buying is paying and getting something in return.

You could do what mineplex does and have a free server timer, and people can donate for it to go away,

Nice Idea, Snowy. Maybe I could get a community, and wait a while THEN make donor packages open, and tons would buy them.

Now, new topic.

I got $200.

What is the CHEAPEST hosted that is suitable for a NETWORK of 1-4 servers?
Also, how much RAM (mb) each?

How do you expect to earn money without having a job? A paper round is as easy as pie and would easily earn you enough for your idea. If not a paper round, then ask one of your relatives if they need help at their workplace? Money doesn't grow on trees.

Get a paper round or something of the sort. That should generate more than enough for a small remotely hosted server..?

I just checked your profile, Delta. Your servers seem okay but they are posted 2 months apart from each other. Are you sure you're investing enough in your small servers?

Servers don't go popular in a week. If you do, chances are you are doing something that will get your server into a downfall pretty fast.

But just how can I make money to pay off the server, and hire devs?
Working is not an option in this case.

As I said earlier, who said you needed money? Just keep it free and small for a while. You can go quite a long way with that system; not hard to get 8 active players if you get them to tolerate the tiny amounts of lag.

Once your servers are more accomplished, you may find it easier to do whatever you would like to do atm.

You just gave us your idea, we can easily just use that and make our own server and we would own it not just be a staff. home host it. if you got 5 bucks go to spartan hosting 5/gb and its a great host.

I got some new ideas

/// Ghast Baseball

Ghast pitches, you have to try to hit it at the ghast. The ghast size will be shrunk for hard mode. You have to hit it at the ghast, which is 50 points, the red which is outside of the ghast is 70 points, and the green is 100. 13 Every 10 points is worth .5 of a Gem (our currency)

/// Freeze Tag

Its all in the name! Each person you tag gets frozen until another one comes along. Each person you tag is worth 1 Gem.


/// ????????

????? To be revealed… ?????

If you would like to donate, we will give you some perks like priority access to the server, hats, pets etc. Just PM me!

Even though it's nothing official, Microsoft is not going to be so dumb as to start shutting down every server regardless of whether they follow these guidelines. That would mean taking down every major server that exists, which would not be good for business.


Thanks for your clearing up!

(Just in case we do do something, most unlikely we won't, but I do not have Skype, and I'm not willing to give out my email so the only way to communicate is via ig (MC) and PMC)

We still need to get the actual server up though, and I still don't got no money :/

Lets say someone donates and they get a Prefix, Some perks like /fly, echo pet, /hat, the ability to join full games and wardrobe for example. Is that allowed?

@OP, as some others have said, why do you believe you need money?

The bigger question is, why do you need all these fancy things? Custom plugins, staff, website, BuyCraft, etc.? As far as I'm concerned, a basic Enjin site and BuyCraft are free. Staff? No need to pay them; if they are willing to work for free and do a good job at it, they're better than people who are being paid.

Custom plugins. Why?

You can do some heavy redstone and get the job done. There's already tons of free open plugins that you can use to achieve your goals. I see part of your plan where it's unique and perhaps need to be a bit custom, but it won't be hard to find a redstoner and the such.

Don't lose hope, OP. But it's a bad time to start a server, and you don't exactly need money to realize your idea on a basic level (which btw, once you have done, you can then go forward in monetizing and improving).

Okay..

See,
I want to become a network. A network needs money for an Enjin site, upgraded BuyCraft and stuff, and yes, I WOULD like a custom coder. They need money also. Nothing is free in the world. Mostly everything needs money nowadays. So why not?
Why not go big? I know its good to start off small but i've done that 7 times on my other servers. I want to actually do something that doesnt fail this time.

What do you mean you don't want that? For them to play Minecraft on your server, they'd have to be in your server's network. And if you're worried about personal computer safety, they're as dangerous as people trying to ping you through cmd.

IF you have a server idea, get people together (Programmers, etc) and create a localhost server. They're free, and it doesn't need to be public until it is finalized. At that point then you should move onto getting a host.

I believe Mineplex doesn't use a custom plugin to do their minigames, or at least I've heard. Also, if your coding a serer from srcatch and only have one developer doing it for free, it's going to take months/years to finish. Also, you need to make sure these games are fun. I see so many custom server poorly execute their plans as a server and their games aren't fun. For servers, I would say trying to get a sponsorship. It will bump start your server, and you can get rid of it once the server can support itself. Hopefully this can help you, and if you need more help, PM me.

Sigh... I hate to say this, but it needs to be said.

If you can't pay for a server, then get a job. If you're incapable of getting a job or finding someone who's willing to sponsor you (this isn't the place for that by the way), then you really don't need to be running a server.

Also, on the idea of the server... If it's not unique (which it's not, unless you pull some revolutionary minigame out of nowhere) then it's most likely not worth your time. Sorry to be harsh, but it's true.

Well guys, I don't really know. I just need money to start up a server, create a network, and have some unique custom mini games and plugins. It has always been my dream, and now I'm ready to put it into action. I can make you guys staff if you want, you seem pretty good, but first we need money. Money is the key part here. Without money, we can't have a website, server or BuyCraft etc. Im not asking for you guys to give me money, thats insane. But all i want to do is pursue my dreams, make a network with custom mini games.

Basically, (now this is a very very simple concept, more will be added) the game is about shooting targets that move around the map. There are two teams, red and blue, and every time one of the teams shoots the target, the map moves more up on their side (The team with the least players left loses). Also, you can kill people. Basically, its like Mineplex's Turf Wars, but with shared targets. \\\\

Thanks for listening. \\\\

Tell us what you plan to do, how you plan to do it and what is your estimated success so that we know that you are being serious and that you do have potential to do this. Don't just ask for money.

Post pictures of your plan if you want, someone may just take you up on it.
