Hi, I go by the name killerfrogy, and have done so since I was 10 years old, the first time I pulled the username out of the hat was when I played runescape for the first time.It was back in 2005 if I remember correctly.Back then I mustn't have been able to spell froggy properly, hence killerfrogy.Anyway back to the story; when I first joined the mmorpg "Runescape" I was blown away by the leveling and other rpg elements it brought out.As soon as I begun, I was hooked, but after many hours of playing with friends, the game slowly took a back seat in my life until I eventually stopped playing altogether.I haven't played the game in many years, although I have played other mmos more recenty, such as Guild Wars.But having thought about it recently I have decided to put my efforts towards recreacting my own mmorpg server on minecraft.

The server:

I aim for it to become very large with an extensive player base.The server should feel familiar to rpg players, but will also add a whole bunch of new elements.I cannot comment at this time about what these may be.

I am creating the server in a series of phases, each phase will require staff that bring their own different skill sets.

THE PLAN:

Phase One: Basic Terraforming [MAINLY COMPLETE]
For this I am creating the large island country for which the server shall be set upon.I have begun the new world on a super flat, one layer of bedrock, then five layers of stone, then five layers of sand.I am then building massive blocks of dirt with World Edit exactly 22 blocks high.These are all joined together and are the base of the country.Following this I am going to naturlize the dirt and morph it into the sand below with gently sloping sides of more sand, this will continue until all around the country there are beachs or rocky cliffs at its edges.At the completion of this base naturilization I shall flood the outer area of the country with water.Thus completing the first stage of construction.
What I need:I need a huge amount of builders who do not have to be very skilled.They simply must be able to learn how to use world edits sphere brush and smooth brush.

Phase Two: Advanced Terraforming [CURRENT]
For this I am continuing the naturilization of the country, this time working on every part of it.This will be where mountains are formed, rivers born and lakes sprung from below.They will all be created according to the map I will draw up.This will be the most important stage of all.Here will be where the different bio spheres of the country will be created.Like the deserts and tundras.All of these must be created correctly in order for the towns to be built upon them.
What I need:A knit group of very skilled builders who specialise in world edit.Phase two will be a momentous task, but will also require much detail.

Phase Three: Construction [CURRENT]
For this I will be beginning the construction of towns and cities in the country.They will be the final towns and cities built on the server, they will not be built in any other phase.Every single building on the server will have to have that wow factor, from the smallest farm house to the largest castle; every building must be a piece of historical architecture.
What I need:A group of people who are skilled at building but more importantly who know correct architecture of the times, for example; they need to know that peasants don't have glass in their houses because they can't afford it.

Phase Four: Dungeons [NOTSTARTED]
For this I will be creating the dungeons that the players of the server will be able to loot.These dungeons will have to be functional, eye catching and have to contain devious traps, capable of resetting so that any new adventures can fall victim to them.Each dungeon will have to suit the environment it is found in.For example a dungeon found in the desert will most likely be made out of sandstone.
What I Need:People who have a good knowledge of redstone aswell as people who are good with dungeon design, such as knowing when mossy brick is appropriate and when it isn't.

Phase Five: Agressive Mob Placement [NOTSTARTED]
Here I will be populating the world with enemy mobs to fight.On the server there will not be one naturally spawning mob.All mobs will be handled by the custom npc's mod.During this stage aswell the dungeons will be populated with their own mobs and bosses.
What I Need:A group of people willing to learn how custom NPC's work, for what I need done here you do not need to have a very advanced knowledge of the mod, that will come later on in the other phases.

Phase Six: Passive Mob Placement [NOTSTARTED]
Here is where I will be populating the world with passive mobs, such as villagers in the towns, they will add life to the cities and are there for aesthetic purposes.
What I Need:(see phase five:what i need)

Phase Seven: Trading and Transporting[NOTSTARTED]
At this stage I will be adding functional mobs.Here is where I will be adding the people capable of trading and transporting the player, aswell as handing out items at random times.
What I Need:Players who have had prior experience with custom NPC's, this is where it will start getting more complex.

Phase Eight: Quests [NOTSTARTED]
This is where the questers will be added, this will possibly be the largest stage of all, this will be where all quests and diologue trees will be added.
What I Need:A large group of players with an extensive knowledge of custom NPC's, players who participated in phases 5 -7 and who gained knowledge of custom npc's will be useful here.

Phase Nine: Touch Ups [NOTSTARTED]
Here is where most of the touching up will occur aswell as adding the functionality of many plugins.This will include making resources renewable and many other things.
What I Need:A small group of people who have had prior experience at managing servers themselves and who understand permissions.These people will most likely become the servers admins

Phase Ten: Testing [NOTSTARTED]
At this stage the server should be 99% complete, all that it should need is to be tested. All I require a whole bunch of people playing on the server looking for bugs and ways to improve it.
What I Need:Common minecraft players

Thank you all for taking the time to read this momentous server plan.
