Hey guys.

I'm going to start working on building up a big rp-server for minecraft soon. I wanted to ask if you have any nice ideas for the background history of the world. It will definitely play in a medieval time, no futuristic things. We planned on making 2 big factions which fight against each other with the goal to capture all citys of the opponent. But that can be changed as well. Also we thought about something like a 3rd nation, such as demons or similiar who are allied with the undead. They would just want to destroy everything.

If you have some nice ideas, share them with me please

Yeah I guess. I'll write you a pm when I have the server online, Clue. I got some doubts though if that's all realisable^^

kegged1 I answered your pm. Actually your idea is also a good option. Though we would have to write the nations, city informations etc. down somewhere else like in a forum if we have no plugin for that. You mean without a plugin or?

I would be happy to help, and possibly you could find a person who could create some custom plugins,
You would definitely need voxelsniper, WorldEdit, and MCEdit.

Damnit. I think it will be hard to realise the capturing of citys, Just noticed that the factions plugin is completely useless for that and well, the war mode of Towny seems to be still buggy and other commandos can probably not be used while in war. Also it'll be a challenge to build all this up^^ but who doesen't like challenges

you could just have it a town (without protection) that each faction captures (by killing the current inhabitants or forcing them to flee) then the victorious faction inhabit the city and rebuild ect

Ok, i'm on it! give me 2 minutes.

2 mintes later:
OK, keep the faction idea. Love it, but a little different.
There are four teams. Each team has different defenses and terrains. For example, one team will be called the Sky Lords or something. they live atop a huge hill and can easily defend their castle, having the "Upper hand", Another team will hide inside an ocean, And will be called something cool like posiden's posse. Again, u can change the name. to whatever u want. Posiden's posse will have the ability of drowning their opponents, and using lockable trapdoors to protect their base. One team could be the Flatland fighters. Huge, flat land helps them make multiple arrow cannons and tnt launchers. to keep the land flat, they might even make the tnt land in a 1x1 hole of water!. this team is known for extreme machinery. and of course, there are your devils. They can not be reached without mining in, and a lava block marks their fort.
They like to put lava everywhere, and use splash potion of poision, harming, and slowness on their opponents. their only real weapons are stone swords.

These teams like to fight, and that is all they will do. you could name the teams anything, like blue, yellow, green, red. this is my idea. Need any staff?

Wow dude! That story realy sounds great! You're awesome and thanks much for writing!

The only problem about this would be that cities, built up by players, eventually would/should get destroyed or damaged when getting raided/captured by the followers of Morkam.

I also think a nice system for raiding towns could be, that people of each faction can suggest their king/leader to raid a city and the leader/king will ask an admin if that's alright and if yes, announce it in the forum with a date when the attack will start. So players of both sides can get prepared and well, I think it would be realy fun^^ I haven't got that much experience with the factions plugin yet so I don't know what is realy possible.

Realy, thanks for taking the time to write

Well, you could, in theory, get a towny plugin.
And actually, the followers of Morkam don't destroy a town.
They kill everyone in it, and loot the stuff from chests, then they call upon a Dark Support Mage ((Forgot the name :l)) and the mage would call upon the Spirir of Morkam ((An RP Character that can only be played by an Admin)) To freeze the place.

Ok, in all seriousness, I have a better idea.
Here we go:

The Backstory


Ages ago, in the Dark Times, the Lord of Evil, Morkam, rules supreme, but a band of heroes formed, and the Alliance of Protom was formed.

War ensued, many battles were won and lost, and Morkam eventually was cornered in the Underground City of Tromas, the Hero Sacma and 3 others sacrificed themselves to lock Morkam in The Void. . .


Many years later, a mining team dug up an abandoned fortress, and discovered a large Portal, they gathered a larger team, hired a score of mercenaries, and went in. The portal led to a land under Blockos ((Minecraftia for many)), The Void Lands. They began mining the rock here, a rock not found anywhere else, and they stumbled upon a sphere of obsidian, they broke it open, and were instantly frozen by a cold breeze.

The Ice of Morkam spread quickly, and soon the Voids was populated by large tentacles of ice, and soon, the Ice began breaking through the Bedrock, Tromas fell to the crippling winds first, then Drokar, and much of the underground, then the Ice spread above ground, and the capital of Oromos, Dralaenos was lost to Morkam's wrath, many other communities were lost, and soon a region known as the Icelands was formed. Mages quickly formed together, and made a magical barrier to prevent the icy spread, they created four gateways on each side of the Icelands, and quickly sealed it off. . .

Two Years Later: The Ice is beginning to break through again, and Morkam is beginning to manifest inside an ice crystal, called: The Heart of Morkam. . .



Additional Details
The Good
The normal, run of the mill villager, peasant, mayor, king, etc. . .

Players can be any of the 3 castes: Warrior, Archer, and Mage. These 3 castes have subdivisions.
Warrior: An Offensive Cast
Soldier: A Defensive Class
Barbarian: An Offensive Class
Commander: A Support Class

Archer: A Defensive Caste
Shield-Archer: A Defensive Class
Longbowman: An Offensive Class
Skirmisher: A Support Class

Mage: A Support Caste
Wizard: A Defensive Class
Elementalist: An Offensive Class
Summoner: A Support Class.
These players can walk freely throughout the lands that are not corrupted, and can take any occupation they wish. Only the bravest dare enter the Icelands.

The Bad
Those whom were unfortunate enough to be in the Icelands during the time of Corruption. . .
These Players can choose between these castes:

Corrupted: An Offensive Caste
Dread Knight: A Defensive Class
Blood Knight: An Offensive Class
Dark Paladin: A Support Class

Ice-Lord
Dralaenos Archer: A Defensive Class
Tromas Crossbowman: An Offensive Class
Morkam's Watcher: A Support Class

Corruptor: A Support Class
Dark One: A Defensive Class
Beholder: An Offensive Class
Necromancer: A Support Class.

NOTE: There must always be less Bad Characters than Good Characters, Admins can change a persons standings if necessary, there must always be an odd number of Admins, including the Owner, and all decisions must be voted upon, any admin violating the Vote Rule should be immediately de-opped, Owner is obviously exempt from being de-opped, but it is HIGHLY discouraged that he breaks The Vote Rule, the Owner may vetoe any decision if for good reason, reason must be supplied, if at least one person agrees with the Owner's reason, the decision must be modified or abandoned, it his highly encouraged that players speak up and tell admins or the Owner what THEY think would be a good idea. There are NO Moderators, admins are nominated by the Owner, and the public votes on them, admin votes count a two. There should be a Forums for the RP as well, people must make bios, and those bios must be accepted, whitelisted for anyone who is not accepted, or who has not made a bio, races and class abilities should be decided, everything should be balanced, and stay away from pure evil races, or give the pure evil races a way to disguise themselves.

Hmhm we wanted to add wizards as class/specification. Maybe some kind of faction using only magic to fight would be nice too but I guess 3 or more factions would split the player base up too much.

Kaidynbarton, it all started in the nether?.. If you want you can help us building up all the things, we're probably hosting a small private server for that with the 1.2 update.
