EDIT: here is a video showcasing some of the work I have done in the past on similar projects! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiHCFKBooUg

Hey PMC I'm _Satyr_

A few years ago I ran a series of RPG servers most of which were called Realms of Avalon. We were a tight-knit team dedicated to fleshing out our original fantasy locations and lore. Now, I'm looking to have a similar adventure again, but only if I can get a few good people on board!

Here's how it works:

I'm looking for mature, creative people who are interested in joining a world-building server. If I get enough interest, I'll set up and pay for the server. The style will be "medieval fantasy / rpg." Think Tolkien, Elder Scrolls, D&D, Dark Souls.

Our goal as a team will be to create a realistic and immersive fantasy world in Minecraft. Our time will mostly be spent building the worlds many towns, castles, roads, dungeons, you name it. When doing this in the past, I've always provided one or more custom-made maps (World Machine / WorldPainter) to jump-start the process, and used a lot of plugins to facilitate quick development of our world; WorldEdit, Dynmap, etc. We will do the same.

In addition to building, our work will include naming things, dreaming up history and lore to add color to our world, perhaps even writing dialogue for the occasional NPC. World-building is the name of the game; not just placing blocks to literally build a world but also making it feel as real as possible.

This will be a private server to start, accessible to only the team. If interest is high and we get a lot done, we can talk about expanding our horizons, but the main purpose of this is to enjoy a shared world building experience.

Sound interesting? Cool. I'm looking for people who:

- Are genuinely excited by this idea. This isn't a chance for you to earn clout as a moderator or promote your youtube channel.
- Have a lot of creativity and an interest in fictional cultures, story telling and/or game development.
- Have enough time to average at least a few hours a week on the project.
- Preferably are over 18. I won't card you at the door but this isn't really for kids.

So, are you thinking of applying to be part of this? I hope you are! In the past, these adventures in Minecraft have led to the amazing sensation of being the kings and queens of an imaginary world.

If you want to be on the team, let me know. Reply here (preferred), pm me, or add Satyrcynic on skype. Make sure that you:

- Have actually read all of this and understand what you're signing on for.
- Are capable of typing full words and sentences without pervasive spelling or grammatical issues.
- Have something to contribute, preferably some building ability.

There is no formal application or qualifications. You don't need to have experience as a professional builder or server staff. You don't need to show any kind of experience; this is more about finding the people who have the right personality and enthusiasm for the job. Say hi, and we'll take it from there.

Maybe we can build a world.

Hello, My name is Alex and I really love this idea. Building the world like you imagine when you play D&D, Is a great thing to be a part of. I enjoy building the environment, like trees, caves, landscaping, and organic, random, and nature like build. And this project will need a lot of it. I also love the story part of the project, like where did this tree come from how old is it, or like who is a statue of and what did they do. I would love to be a part of it, I am 17 and if you need to contact me my Skype: live:asminecraft101_1, Discord: _MCPic_#4423, or PM me.
Thank you for reading.

Hello! My name is Rogue, or Cypress! I'm a bookworm of the fantasy genre, who enjoys reading non-stop(and listening to Hamilton). I would really love to join the project, because I want to be a part of a group build, or a build team, or anything like that, in a rustic/medieval style. I have millions of ideas, am very eager, and can talk in full sentences, with proper grammar the majority of the time. Somedays I won't be able to help much, but mostly I can dedicate an hour or more every day. Although I do want to go down in history one way or another, I do not want to join this project because of that. I don't really want to be a mod/admin on any server, although I do want to be trusted by people, and I only have one video on my YT channel, and it's an art video, not relating to minecraft in any way, so that is not my motivation either. I do have some building ability, I'm good, but I still have a long way to go before great, and unfortunately, I don't have Skype, or Discord, or anything of the sort. I can give you an email though, or you can contact me through any of the socially stuff listed on my profile(preferred). I would really love to join this project, but I completely understand if you don't want me. If you have any questions, or would like to see some of my builds, please tell.

Hey VapidDarkness, thanks for your interest, and thanks doubly for bumping the thread

If you have Skype, add Satyrcynic. If not, give me an email address or some way to reach you. I haven't started the project yet so I'll contact you once I have a couple more interested parties.

Hi! I am really interested in helping out with this project. I noted that you said you would prefer people over 18 so I hope its okay that I am 16. This sounds like a really fun project and would love to be apart of it. Thanks for your time.
