It is one I have been planning for a while. You start in a city in a massive world. You go through a Tutorial from an NPC and then you are free in the real world. you can just go straight into the wild on the starter island, or build a boat and sail to another place, or save up money and buy an instant boat trip to a different place. There are different nations (all RP) with different towns and you have to either travel across the huge world yourself to get there, or pay your way there. There will also be dungeons and caves and things like that.
Everything is RPG like and NPCs can give quests and sell items to you for money. You can either live in prebuilt cities or go into the wild and start your own town. I am going to have the McMMO plugin, jobs plugin, and some other usefull RP plugins such as NPC plugin. But would you want to play a server like this?

My inspiration is runescape I guess.

Sounds cool, but what if a bad builder starts a town, no offense to that person but it'll make the server look bad. You have to have a build test or something, or else, you know. But other than that and spawnkillers, greifers, the like, I'd play on it.

Well then I could just have qualified people able to start a town, and I have run a server and have dealt with rule breakers plenty before.

This is a great idea. You could have quests like the yogscast's Shadow of Israphel for people who donate and stuff.

So I'm seeing quite a few people are saying that they would play this kind of server, but some are saying it would be difficult to keep going unless I have a large player base early on. So I could either go for it and risk HUGE failure, or go back to my old tekkit server and try that again (it went really well, but tekkit has a lot of glitches that eventually caused a few map resets)

Why not go for FTB? It's better, has more mods, is updated (to 1.5.2), and has less bugs and glitches. You could revamp your Tekkit server but use FTB instead.

Now the problem with that is the server I used to run counted on some of the mods in tekkit (mainly buildcraft and industrialcraft) to make sense. It was called companycraft and people built factories and made companies (obviously), and it makes much more sense to use tekkit for factories than FTB, even if tekkit is only 1.2.5.

If that's the only problem, FTB has almost every mod Tekkit has (including IC2 and BC) and if it doesn't have a mod you want/need you can add it easily.

Yes. I would play and I would build, but I don't like to use skype when building with others. I think you should do this one, though tekkit gives you more options, not as many people have tekkit.

This sounds like a good idea (I'm not into role-playing, but if I was, I'd try it out), but it seems to rely too heavily on having a large player base. Someone needs to fill those towns and cities.

If you can get a sizable player base going, more power to you.

I was reading trough it and I was thinking 'Omg runescape memorys'
Then I got to the bottom and I noticed it was your main inspiration. It looks like an awesome idea but I think it should be more developed into a custom server without pre-made bukkit plugins. Like getting coders to make the plugins from scratch.


Well I am no Plugin Dev, so I may need to look for some help here.

We've already done this exact thing on MCTradeCraft. Though the NPC's are disabled until Citizens stabilizes a bit.

The cities on this server so far are:
Castle NewGate (spawn - standard castle village and player housing immune to factions)
Castle Grechen (mountain castle/village)
Kerethin (tree city -- very elvish looking)

PLANNING/building:
Dulwer (underground city -- dwarvish -- in-progress/building)
Atlantia (underwater city -- unknown race -- planning)

There are also random dungeons around the area (massive and small, mazes and trapped) to add to the RP feel.

NewGate also has a lighthouse and ship that will instantly warp players to other ports in other cities for a small fare.

We only have 4 admins atm so the building is a little slower than I'd like but its coming along and pretty decent work for the server being back online for less than 30 days

We will be needing lore and quest writers very soon when citizens fixes its bug and is not hogging 6 xeon cores and 8GB ram.

Our inspiration is very similar: EverQuest... In fact if you look at the name Kerethin, you'll immediately say, "hmm that sounds like Kelethin in EverQuest!" and when you see Kerethin you'll say "Ok this IS Kelethin from EverQuest!" Well, not exactly but you can sure tell that is definitely where the inspiration was sourced.



If you need a guide for what we're using:

1. Citizens (disabled due to performance issues with latest snapshot for 1.6.x -- this plugin will do the NPCs and the quest scripting all-in-one)
2. Factions (We were using towny but it was a resource hog with 100+ players on)
3. EpicBossRecoded (This is really nice for giving people the raid bosses they've wanted instead of a single dragon in the end -- we have one infamous Boss already, its a skeleton that sits in the middle of a ruined castle area, a factions warzone, and he requires a few groups of people to kill and has a LOT of special abilities but the loot he drops will start a factions war for loot which is exactly what we were wanting [the drops are intentionally over-powered])
4. mcMMO (duh)
5. RealJobs
6. Catacombs (for dungeons).

I love the idea in concept, however most of the time these kinda servers fail. Due to some reason, like not a good money system, not enough players, people becoming OP and killing everyone. I would really like to play a server like this, if someone could just get it right.
