Last Chance To Pitch Your Server Ideas for HERMES REALMS
mcneprojects
Hello,
I own and operate Hermes Realms, an upcoming MC server. For this I am pulling out all the stops. I bought a domain, advanced Enjin plan, prepaid my host, and even paid for a banner from a designer on (Ad link removed).
We are a minigames server. Though I shouldn't say minigames, we are more of a "multigame" server. We already have a handful of games finished and more being added all the time.
Here is what we have so far:
I could go on about every feature but this thread would be super long. I am already going to have to spoiler this lol. Anyways now is the time to get your feedback from any possible ideas or suggestions you may have. Is there any features you want to see? Any new games?
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Here is what we have so far:
Click to reveal
Games: Factions, No Rules Survival (Griefing Allowed), NoPvP Survival, Creative Plots, Skyblock, Quake, Parkour Challenges, Leap O' Faith, Slots/Casinos, & Peaceful Survival (AntiGrief).
We have more to come we are just trying out different plugins to find the best fit.
COMING SOON: Survival Games (Trying out plugins), CTF (Found plugin, be up soon), Empire Factions(In Dev Phase), Nuclear Factions (Almost Done). We are always adding stuff, CTF expected for launch, SG is questionable, but server is always being updated/maintained.
It is a time consuming process as we build a "mini version" of the server, test & configure it locally, then it gets uploaded to the main server. From there comes a little bit of configuring, followed by bug fixes. Then once it is bug free it will open on the server. It is me and a couple other people doing this atm, soon we will need mods and more admins.
Features:
Economy- The server is money based, players have many ways to make cash on the server. Transferrable between worlds. Players make money by playing on the server, and then can spend it on unlocking more games, buying at shops, etc. They have the opportunity to become entrepreneurs with the ability to create shops and casinos. We strongly encourage it, seriously, you can build a giant mall and rake in the cash from other players. As a matter of fact factions does not have a shop to force the players to use player shops. Or you could build a casino, or both a shop and casino. If that does not fit you you can always get a job. Jobs are provided by the server for now. We are experimenting with Company Plugin so players can employ other players, start a company, etc.
Contests- We want players to be engaged with the community, me and my admins have been planning many competitions. Winners will receive server cash and whatever donor perk we are offering that week. Here is some contests: Speed
Builds, Team Builds, Quake & CTF Tourneys, Theme Builds, Parkour Races, and "Gladiator Night". Gladiator Night will take place in a coliseum, where players fight in a deathmatch tourney..every week.
Ranks- Yes,I know P2W servers give Ranks a bad name but we don't allow pay-for-ranks. Honestly I hate P2W servers!!! Players rank up by amount of time played on the server. We were going to have donor ranks but I don't think it would be fair to everyone. So instead donors receive permissions themselves instead of promotions, that moves us to...
Donor Perks- Yes, we will accept donations. I pay out of pocket myself for this and eventually would love it to be able to sustain itself. Anyways, donors can get various perks that do not really give them an advantage. Such as: Colored Names, Nick Names, Pets, Trails, Join When Full, and more to come.
Server Perks- If we can hit our monthly goal to cover hosting, every player on the server will get awesome perks like /fly, money, kits, additional commands, etc.
Custom Commands- We are trying to simplify how players use the console commands, for things like trying to set a region flag we made it just /rf. Instead of typing long commands to get a job we changed it from /jobs join <jobname> to just /<jobname>. We are going through the plugins and trying to make commands simpler and more efficient. This could save time and also help players remember short cmds instead of constantly checking the wiki. We are inserting available commands into a book so using /help isn't spamming your chatlog. This way we can provide more detailed information to new players.
The beta is almost ready to launch, I am just waiting for the website and wiki to be finished first. It will hold 24-36 people until we have a need for more slots &/or ram.

That is a good idea, I am planning the next big releases for the 2.0 update this could be added, I will look into it. Anyways I am finishing up a few spawn areas, website is almost done, should be anyday now for official launch.

How about anime servers like Attack on titan and sword art online? The idea for a server is pretty cool, but it seems like it's not popular as it should be

Hey I am thinking of adding an anime server to the hub with the 2.0 update in the coming months. I do not know much about anime so I was hoping you could help with the planning phase. I would just need your ideas, and suggestions for the server. And we would brainstorm things we could add, objectives, goals, etc.
Also we would use a texture pack to give it a true anime look.
If you, or anybody reading this is interested in creating an anime server to add to Hermes Realms please message me.

I don't skype, but I will send you a message as well as post the domain on this thread. I am currently setting up a few more things as well as bugfixes on the server. I am waiting for my domain nameservers to be configured with enjin. Then a day or so building the website. Then we launch. I am hoping that day is Friday. Fingers-crossed!
