Planet Minecraft

hmm bacon is pretty much in the game already?? and as far as im aware neither car or helicpter mod runs very well!!

hey guys,
As soon as i have finished my entry to the latest build competition http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/ ... -update-1/ (thats it so far) i am starting work on my server. my idea is to make a survival factions server but with a very community based twist.. i plan on spending at least a month setting up a massive detailed medieval spawn city and several others dotted around.. the idea is to create a world much like what real medieval briton would have been like! I really want to create something that will make people stop and go wow i want to be a part of this!

I will run factions, economy (or something similar), some sort of jobs mod (i need to look into that further) and a few other mods (but i wont overload it). I will create a website with a donation page however donations will be strictly just for paying for a server host and website hosting costs and improving the server rather than lining my own pocket.

One thing i have noticed about servers is the way staff ranks seem to be given out way to readily to people who joined maybe a 2-3 weeks ago.. I beleive that to create a sucsessful server you have to be able to deligate but to a trusted few not giving staff ranks to everyone. I also beleive taht less low down ranks also benifits as there is less argueing over things like 'ive been here longer how come they have been ranked up' etc etc..

All the points i make above come from about 2 years experience in helping run servers and coowning one. the owners have had differnt ideas on how to run a server and tbh they have never worked out too great!. The name for my server will be 'Lemuria' which is named after the first server i ever played that shut down over a year a go...

well please let me know what you think to what i have said above and what you would like to see in a server! also if this sounds like something you would like to be a part of once it comes out feel free to sub and check it out once i have uploaded it..

Sounds like a great idea i wouldn't mind helping with redstone if you needed help when you start it hope you make the server =)

yeh im going to make it i just want to know the best possible to set up to get lots of players and how to make it so people will love it more feedback would be greatt????

so would it be better too have several maps for differnt things?

Sounds sweet if you want when your ready to buy a server I know a hosting company owner and I can get you a good deal

Also highly suggest you have iconomy and chest shops those plugins always are cool on factions servers

thanks, can u send me the link to the guys site (put it in this thread) i am probablly going to use redstone server host as i have had experience with them before but i am open to other ideas yeh chestshop is good problem is it can lag quite badly sometimes but ill see how it runs im still on the fence about chestshop!

Sounds good, I'll be happy to hepl with building the spawn and other things, I'm quite good at that.

good to hear peopple sound keen tbh i tend to prefer to build (or at least get things going) on my own due to the fact i have a habit of mapping things out in my head as i build lol. but by the time it comes to filling in houses i will probablly need some help! no promises tho

I'm great with plugins I could help you setup permissions worldedit and everything like that and if there is not a plugin I know I will learn it very quickly. Of course I'd do all this for a spot as an admin.

hmm i've never had a problem with chest shops. This host will give you more ram for your money www.cheapestminecraftservers.com and you can control your server from your ipod or android and stuff like that.
