I am going to start a server that I hope to get to be a big server. I do have experience with running servers and can make custom Bukkit plugins so what I can't do isn't much of a problem.

I have a few different server ideas so far, if you like one, have anything to add to one, or most important, have another idea, please post it below.

Server idea #1:
This is a multiworld server. You start in the survival worlds and whenever you do anything that you would normally do in minecraft, you get a certain amount of credits. With those credits you can buy really anything, including access to other worlds. The other worlds would have the same general idea to them. There would be a survival world, a PvP world, a redstone world, a creative world, and a minigame world.

Server idea #2:
Everything is somewhat realistic, very few things float, the economy changes, the houses are modern, and really, the server is just like real life but in minecraft, there would be certain jobs, maybe some people would go out and hurt other people, and then get thrown in jail by the NPC police (only if they catch you ;) )

Server idea #3:
Griefing server. A build team takes some time to make a giant city, and then the players go around distroying everything with griefing tools. I would make custom TNT explosions, special items that would destroy stuff, and stuff like that. When you break a block you might get a few points, and with points you could buy some stuff like 'Super TNT', that would have a big blast radius.

Server idea #4:
Zombie survival server, a lot like L4D but with a few more people.


Server idea #5:
Hardcore PvP. You start in an awesome spawn city with many different things like shops, games, and anything somewhat fun or useful. There is a giant bank that takes in gold nuggets to be used as cash. When you are ready to enter the PvP world, you go into a plane/portal/boat/something like that. Once you are in the PvP world, you will spawn randomly with in a giant border. I might make a giant island that is something like 1000-1500 blocks across. You have to live in the PvP world trying to fight off everything that comes your way (I'll make it hard and possibly a plugin to have zombies with better AI). If you get gold nuggets you can send them to the other world in a mailbox or something. When you die, you come back to the other world with the nuggets you earned and can buy some cool stuff. You cannot re enter the world for a while after you die though.

Please post if you have more ideas to add or anything to add to one of these server ideas. I also would like to see what most people like, so post your favorite idea! If you post a good idea I will update the post with the idea so other people can put feedback.

Thanks!

For towny, probably not, however, after we get a successful server going, we may make another server

I like the idea of having a real world theme, but instead of a modern world, considering the tools and resources every player can get, wouldn't a medieval world work better? Also in a modern environment no one would be able to make castles. I also really like the idea of having a bunch of zombies invade a town or city but have them breaking blocks and infecting people. Zombie survival Medieval RP world.
