Hey there, before I get into more info about this mmo, and what kind of stuff we need, I would first like to explain myself. My name is ObeyTheLaw_. I would consider myself quite 'obsessed' with mmo's. I find them very fun, and I feel that they have a lot more to them then a regular game. I have been playing minecraft for a few years, and a few months ago, my friend came to me with an idea. We decided to try create a custom mmo in minecraft, we hired a great team of developers and builders, and the project began.

My friend and I are ambitous people, we believed that our ideas for this new mmo in minecraft could soon host up to 500 players on at a time, because of this, we purchased a super fast server, and spent a lot of money on developers and builders.

Eventually, bit by bit, our project crumbled apart. Our head builder left, and then a lot of the other builders left, soon our lead developer was busy with college, so he left, leaving no orginisation to the development team, and everything broke down.

I am here today to try re-start this mmo idea, and get some hype and support throughout the minecraft community. For the past 6 months me and my friend have been brainstorming ideas, which I will let you know about below. The main purpose of this thread is to find developers and builder, who can carry on this project with us. Before I go into more detail about the positions we need, let me explain some key, unique features of the game.

Note: It is not 100% original, there are 3 owners, and we all love mmo's, due to this we have taken some key features which we love from other mmo's and added it to ideas for our game. This being said, most of it is still original.

Ranking
Our ranking system is an edited version of the old Runescape ranking system. Our mmo is not based solely around combat, we feel that if a player wants to pursue a life as chef, farmer, or miner, they should be allowed, most mmo's nowadays are strictly combat orientated, so we have taken a step away from that cliche.

Our ranking system works like this, there are 10 individual skills, these skills are: Strength, mining, crafts, agility, horse riding, magic, alchemy, farming, smithing, strength and combat. 3 Additional skills that will come in the future are possibly Fishing, Ranged, and sailing.

Each skill has a different set of levels, these levels can be gained by doing the particular task that this skill requires. e.g you must kill to get combat up, you must mine to get mining up etc. The maximum level for each skill is 100, once you get 100 you have achieved skill mastery. For every 10 levels you get up, in any skill, this will add 1 to your overall skill, and will show in your prefix. I know this is confusing, but here is an example:

If a player has
2 Mining
5 Agility
3 Alchemy
There overall level is 1.

If a player has
34 magic
22 strength
48 horseriding
Their overall level will show up as 8.

Obviously a player can train more than 3 skills, they can train as much as they want, these are just examples.

Map
The map isnt a usual minecraft map. We have hired terraformers to create a 'Country' for us. This is a large area of land sorrounded by water. In the map there are 4 main cities, there are also a number of towns, dungeons, villages, ports etc. The south of the map is dangerous, there are enemys up to level 100! However in the northern parts the skill range of the enemys is much less, and it is safer for newer players.

Dungeons
There are a total of 6 dungeons in the map. If a player completes them all they get the title 'Dungeon master' and can wear it as their prefix. The 6 dungeons are (In order of difficulty): Air dungeon, Water dungeon, Life dungeon, Earth Dungeon, Fire Dungeon, and Death dungeon. In each dungeon there are a series of levels you must get through, at the end their is a boss. Once you kill the boss you have completed the dungeon. Dungeons are very hard, and should only be attempted by high levelled players.

Clans
Generically, when we say clans most people just think of the plugin factions. However this is not the case, our clans is much more unique to that of the average minecraft server. We call them clans. A player can create a clan by completing certain quests. In order to create a clan, the player must travel to the clan base in the centre of the map, and get a clan booklet. This bookelt gives all info on clans.

As a member of a clan, a player is allowed to do stuff such as, level up with the clan, do quests with the clan, do dungeons with the clan, and even create bases! We have a seperate world full of floating islands where the clans can create a base, and show off to other clans. Our clan plugin is simple, all the info on your clan, e.g the members, ranks, and rankings will all be in the clan booklet, that the owner is given. To add a member to the clan the owner must edit the booklet. Other players may get a copy of it, but only the owner of the clan can edit it.

As well as this, you can not harm players in your clan, this means in pvp zones you wotn have to worry about accidently hitting a friend of youre swining your sword around!

Quests
Our quests is one of the most impressive features about the server. We have designed 3 very unique, and intricit storylines, that will keep the player entertained, as well as captivated. We have actually hired a specialist to design the quests, and storylines. There are overr 200 quests to be completed. Our quests are not pointelss stuff like 'Get that book 2 towns away that I can easily get myself'. They all have a point and reasoning to it. You are sure to love the quests!

Armor & Weapons
Again, our armor and weapons are very unique. We have used all different colors of leather armor, to create a series over over 30 armor types, ranging from fire armor, to dragon slayer armor, to a simple wooden armor. Rather than having enchants like thorns, or prot on our armor, we have simply added a level of defence. The higher the defence, the stronger the armor.

Our weapons also have a unique way of showing their power. They have 3 stats, Speed, Damage, and power. The higher the speed the faster the weapons shoots / swings, the higher the damage the more life it takes away, and the higehr the power the more of a knockback it has. We also have very unique weapons, ranging to over 100 weapons in total! There are also 2 exclusive weapons that there will onlybe 1 of in the whole game!






Well that is about if for explination. Now onto what we need. We need massive help in order for this to work, so we need the communitys support. Here is what we need:
- Builders
- Plugin developers
- Youtubers
- Investors

These people are greatly needed. If you dont fit in this criteria, you can sitll simply just help by bumping this thread. The official website for this server is www.fyrenrealms.com

Thanks so much for reading, if you have any questions at all please dont hesiatate to ask in the comments.

If you are interested in applying for any of these positions, add me on skype.

Good luck to you!

I would love to play on this server once things are sorted out and completed. However I'm afraid that I'm not that good at building and the only coding/programming experience I have are in javascript and html and even then I'm only a beginner

But would I be so happy to play this once I can

The custom map was created by one of our admins using worldpainter, he did it for free. He has been using it for years and is very experienced, so he did a great job. We are now looking for buildersr to build it up, with cities, towns, ports etc.

Please post here or pm me if you are interested in becoming a builder, this is a very promising server idea and it could be very popular with the communitys help.

Also post suggestions or opinions you have on this, we are open to criticism

Maybe you should have a class for cooking as well. It just seems like you kind of missed it.

Also, if you need music I would be more than happy to write it for you, just visit Raymondcompositions.com to see my portfolio.


The 'Crafts' skill currently involves fishing, woodcutting, cooking, and some other stuff that I cant remember right now. We may evolve them all into their own seperate skills, however there is not a lot of variety with these in minecraft at the moment, so we feel they dont need a skill each.

Alright, thanks for replying.

ObeyTheLaw_and spent a lot of money on developers and builders.

Eventually, bit by bit, our project crumbled apart. Our head builder left, and then a lot of the other builders left, soon our lead developer was busy with college, so he left, leaving no orginisation to the development team, and everything broke down.


wait, what? You HIRED (as in paid money) for builders and they just left? Pretty sure that is somewhat.. not allowed?


No, the agreement we have is for payment after the work is done. e.g you build a city, then get paid for the city. Most people left halfway through building, meaning we had to discard their work.

First off, never rent a high-quality server until you have a decent sized and growing community of dedicated players, especially if you haven't even finished the building stages. It's a waste.


The reason for purchasing a fast server was for building and plugin testing, we needed it at the time, however now that there is no building going on and nobody is working on our plugins anymore, the server is just sitting there doing nothing.
