Don't play, be alive.

http://www.minecraftfrontiers.com




So you are here looking for something interesting and new? You are in the right place! Read on and get to know our idea - an idea that will not only completely change the way people play Minecraft, but will bring back what many videogames are missing.





GRAND OPENING THIS SATURDAY

Reserve your place now!



About us:
I'm Tom, 23 years old, studying Psychological Research (you know, reading people's mind and stuff). I love a good story, enjoy games and meeting people from all walks of life. The number one thing that makes games fun for me is immersion - if it can make me believe I am there for just a minute, I'm sold.

Quite a few people were interested in my idea and now we have a team of about 8 people working on and off, trying to deliver this beast of a project! We have Matt, a champion at everything from organising staff to managing plugins. Thokie, our awesome builder, has been placing blocks into some pretty neat formations (screenshots below!). We have a couple of lore writers thinking up impressive stories that are both original and make sense. It's all blending together great - and there is always space for new talent.

So that's our passionate team, here to create a bold new frontier.





The Project:
Think of an RPG server with classes, quests, levels and a storyline that guides your character from a nobody to the savior of the world.
Now throw that idea out the window!

When we sat down to design this experience, it was instantly obvious that majority of games out there are the same old thing, just slightly different settings. Our goal is to make a player experience that is like nothing you've played before. We call it a living universe.

What is a living universe?


  • Plays on its own - it lives without the need for a single player. Farmers plant crops to make a living. Bakers buy the wheat and sell their bread to others in the marketplace. Politicians make big decisions for citizens and collect taxes. Warriors explore the wilderness and defend trade caravans. It is constantly interacting with itself, resulting in a completely dynamic experience.


  • Smart NPCs - so the above sounds like the smartest NPC system there could be, right? Well there is more. NPCs chat with each other, share their experiences and knowledge. Did a thief steal from a caravan on the other side of town? Well the other trader won't know about it - unless someone told him! The goal is for each NPC to have a meaningful life, making decisions on a daily basis - possibly being "smarter" than most players!


  • Expanding towns - if a city prospers and the villagers are happy enough to make love, politicians will start thinking about expanding the town. If you don't log in for a month of two, chances are you will come back to a very different place - full of new buildings not created by the admins, but planned and built by the NPCs!


  • Dynamic economy - the town economy goes beyond supply and demand. If warriors bring back rare weapons, the old iron daggers will drop in value - but that's not it by far. A player set up a new bakery that makes tastier and cheaper breads than the old bakery in town? Locals will quickly realise and start enjoying the new yummy breads. Shame on the old greedy baker who is now out of a job!




The Players:

So we have a world that lives on its own. Where does the player come in? That is the beauty of it all. You log in and have a meaningful decision to make! Who will you be? There are literally hundreds of possibilities and our team is here to let you be who you want to be. Through systems promoting roleplay and interaction, we let you blend into the already living world.

You not only get to explore this rich universe, but since everything is dynamic, you also get to change it! Things you do and the way you spend your time really makes an impact. No more RPGs where you log in with level 1, stop playing a month later and no single soul cares. As soon as you log in, the world has already changed!

We keep our fellow roleplayers at heart, letting you do things like:

  • Write your own lore - and if you ever get in trouble, don't be surprised the elected senator can dig the local library to find out records on your character.
  • Own valuable property - no endless plots. If you want to own a building at the heart of the town, you have to work for it. But if you are lucky enough to own that tavern in the town square, you bet all those NPCs will flock to your events!
  • Be known - both players and NPCs will get to know you over time. If you feel like it, you can even dabble in politics to really stir things up.






Community interaction:

Our team is here to make each player feel at home. This can be as simple as the ability to a chat with our staff, or as unexpected as getting a surprise care package through post (provided players leave us their address).

We are fully dedicated to both running regular events that bring people together, but also supporting players to run their own. In the end, we are not making this for the happy NPCs, but for the players!

We are not in it for the money, but because we are confident in our ability to deliver something groundbreaking!


Who we need?
Anyone who is interested in this idea! The more talented people we get on board, the better project we can deliver. We seek motivated, active people that want to get involved. That said, there is no need for staff members who will not be directly contributing to the project - if you simply want to "be a mod", there is no space for you on our team.

Builders - you enjoy working with new settings, creating builds that are usable and functional. You are not perfect at everything, but can deliver to a certain standard of quality. Your builds promote exploration in players and are detailed enough to offer immersion.

Lore - you love everything about writing. Whether it is a small biography for an NPC, or a detailer history of a region, you are happy to dream up unique, but believable stories. You can work on your own, but also are able to share your progress with others regularly.

Community Team - you are excellent when it comes to interacting with others. Posting on the forums is a hobby and you love to keep track of various social media channels. You are good with words and professional enough to represent our brand in a way we can depend on.



Interested in any of the roles? You're in luck, we are always recruiting! There are no requirements, only to be passionate and good at what you want to do!



If you love the project, but don't want to apply for our team, then make sure to stay in contact with us! Head over to our website at (http://www.minecraftfrontiers.com), signup for our newsletter, register for our forum, and read our blog posts! We send out information often!



If you skipped any of this thread, you are missing out! This truly is a revolutionary project not only as a minecraft server, but as a community platform in general. If you are interested in being part of this, drop us a reply and we will get in touch!

We are looking for one or two mature (preferably 18+) community team members.

As the project is constantly growing, with new features added regularly, we are looking to form a dedicated community team. The tasks would mainly include contact with players, running and scheduling bi-weekly events, forum coordination and interaction with the other teams.

If you are interested, please do get in touch. We are a tight knit, but fairly professional team. Working on Minecraft Frontiers is an extremely rewarding experience, so don't hesitate to let us know!

We have been quite busy over the past few days, hence your application not being processed yet.

That said, we are only looking for truly interested people. When a person applies to many servers at once, it means you are not interested in our server specifically. For that reason, we can not accept you at this time.

If you would like, I suggest you join the mailing list on our website to stay updated on our progress and join as a player once we are ready to release!

Hey! I'd love to join this amazing sounding project!
My name is Chris,(IGN: Pro_SuRRoGate), and I am a 20 yr old combat medic for the National Guard, going to school to be a music producer, currently a sophomore at Full Sail University Online. Id like to be part of the lore team, and if you need help with building i can do that as well. My experience in helping with servers dates back to 2012 as an admin on a few servers, a mod on a few servers, a Co-owner on 2 different FTB servers, and a helper with plug-ins. My experience in writing lore isn't too extensive but I'm currently working on a dōjinshi for Dragon Ball, called Dragon Ball Ascension, once the first chapter storyboard has been drawn i'll send it to you.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

P.S My Skype is Chris.becker10, my email which is easiest way to contact me is BeckerMusicUnlimited@gmail.com

Really glad to see you guys interested in the project! We do not have a publicly available server yet - there simply isn't a polished enough experience for people to play in at this stage.

That said, we are always looking for more team members!

Could you reply to this forum thread, stating which team you would be interested in (Builder/Lore), what your Skype is, and briefly mentioning some of your relevant experience? This is to keep a record of the application so it can be processed by relevant staff members.

Looking forward to working with you soon!

Boy, the project has really picked up speed over the last three weeks!

We have a new lore-writer, who has been pumping out quality lore on a daily basis. No professional writer would have to be ashamed of the pieces we have waiting for our players!
The builders have made a push to finish Elpida, the city at the core of our experience. It is shaping out great. The town is full of personality, important property and hidden secrets for players to explore.

I have been working on our gameplay and plugins. We now have over 12 custom plugins and the number is rising every day. These inclue fully custom crafting, adaptive ore respawning, taxation and requisition shipping, custom books and items, basic implementation of our NPCs, statistics published to our website in real-time and much more. The next step ahead is putting together our towns plugin, which will allow players to literally shape the world everyone plays in - increase taxes, build new production chains, resell property, schedule economical goals that NPCs will follow and more.

The website has also gotten a makeover!

There is a new blog post just published on some of our locations. Expect more to come very soon!
Make sure you check out the website and sign up for the newsletter if you haven't already - it will pay off, trust me.

Quite a lot of work has been happening on the project lately. Our builders have started making a shady part of town for those that do not exactly love the law. Not only will this add more life to the town, but will present the players with a range of new options.

Will a player try to have a high standing with the town, being respected by those in power? Or will the player decide to live in the shadows where they get to make their own rules? Every choice has a consequence though, and every player should understand the weight of their decisions. If the city state sees you as a criminal, it is unlikely they will let you use their port to trade goods. On the other hand, taking the official route will mean you can't ship in goods that are seen as illegal.

Players will have to work together to, be smart and come up with creative ways to navigate the political system.
