Sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait till its up. Hope its actually has people that like to get involved in ****. Keep finding that most servers are about small 5 man groups and not real big projects to conquer everything. XD
Even if there's no white list still wanna put my name up there for everyone to see.

The Idea is to start off with atleast 50 players.
This will give us either 5 nations of 10 players or 10 nations of 5 players or a mixture somewhere in between. The amount will be set by you players and not us the admins. After all the Admins already have our nation set up.
Nice! So, can we start making alliances now, in order to be fully prepared for the moment when the server will be open for testing? I am asking this because I would like to set up a nation, but I am not sure if you allow us to organize here, on this thread.
Also, when you will release the public server, will it be 24/7, or it will be up only when you or Vorlock are online?
Thanks,
Zircon
You can, the only issue would be if everyone of your nation will be accepted or not. We want players who will follow the rules and know how to play / want to play. Not players who are showing up to goof around and annoy others. This may seem a little strict, but we feel its better to have quality players who want to be here, then a quantity of players who just think the idea is "cool".
And yes, the server is a 24/7 server. During the "beta/test" phase Admins will have access the entire time, where players will only have access while me and Vorlock are on. Once we go live it will stay 24/7 for everyone on the white list regardless if an admin is on our not. By that time we feel we will have players who can govern themselves or help out answer questions while an admin is not currently around.

Just out of curiosity, are you planning on OPing more players to help when you and Vorlock are not online?

Please learn how to use google. My grandfather knows how to, I think you can too.

I don't believe so. Mostly because Ops = Admins. Technically the only true admins are me and Vorlock since we have access to the control panel. All other admins on the server are basically ops.
So seeing how we want things to be fair, any Op must be part of the admin team and could not be part of any player owned nation.

:UPDATE:
Odds are high we will be opening the server up for testers much later today. We do have some work still to do around the spawn area, but otherwise we are ready for people to come in and test things out.
Estimated time 6-7pm Central US. June 11th.
This will basically be an open house for everyone to come and check out. There will be no white list and we will lower the limit of players until we can adjust it to best see what the server can handle with the plugins we have installed.
Also remember that anything done over this time will not be saved once we go live.
Also, General rules apply.
No cheating, no griefing, no whining, no exceptions.
Break any of those main rules, or annoy us with (plz tp / set time / stop weather) and the odds are you will not be welcomed back.
THIS IS A SURVIVAL PVP creative SERVER.
This means you must gather all your own items, fight other players and still try to build the best most breath taking Capital city you can. Players who can achieve those three things will go further and be rewarded far more than those who do not.
The best way to achieve this is to form up as a faction, and use all of "faction power" to claim as much land for your capital as possible. If you waste your land on outposts or other areas you may find your Capital in jeopardy.
Once your Capital city falls... Your Faction will as well.
You will be welcome to explore, build, mine, fight, and try out the PVE arena at the spawn.
Also... If you want an almost sure way to be accepted to the server and avoid having to apply once it goes live....
Get a Mic/headset and Ventrilo. We enjoy folks who actually chat with us over folks who just type.
We also want to know how fast folks are gaining money so we can set npc vendor prices.
Be sure to hit F3 before leaving spawn and record the location so you can find your way back. Otherwise it can get pretty costly very quick.
IF you find something you believe you should not be able to do, or can not do something you believe you should be able to do...
Please write it down and send it to me via pm here. It will notify me faster that way and odds are high I may miss your tell or you in chat.
DO NOT type in chat saying what the issue may be. This will just inform others of whats going on.
Lastly, while testing everything out......
Odds are very high we will be doing alot of restarts.
We will notify everyone in chat and count down prior to restarting. If you see us count down, please stop what you are doing and log out. Otherwise you may loose items, ships, or your current position.
I really like that dome on the top of the arena, and the spawn looks nice. Good job! :wink.gif:
Too bad I probably won't be online when you open the testing (I live in Romania, Europe, and the current time is 14:15).
Yeah, we had to add the dome while testing out the Mob Arena plugin. We found out that people could glitch jump the fence and come into the arena while players were currently fighting waves.
This could result in killing the players through pvp, or helping them by giving items, or killing mobs.
So the Dome was added, as well as an after battle lobby above the arena, yet inside the dome. this is where you will end up if you die while fighting inside the arena.
As for server time...
That really sucks man. I'll talk with the owner to see if we can extend the tests so it stays white list free after we leave for the night. Otherwise, I can try and stay up late tonight/tomorrow morning since my daughter is out of town for the weekend.
Oh well, hope this new one lasts. I'm interested in trying this one out. Won't be able to come on tomorrow though. I'll see if I can get on after that.
Well, hopefully you remember me. I'd like to get back into the Airship experience if you will let me join once more. If you haven't already done so I would suggest BigBrother or Logblock to avoid another volcano in your creative world.
Other then that, same as before.

though I still don't like groups and I think you were the ones that didn't mind me being a Merc. :biggrin.gif:
Things to look out in factions:
If the land is claimed the chests CANT be touched, unlike what you wrote in a post somwhere on the first/second page. Hero Chat will override the factions title system also.
Nifty plugins:
There is a plugin somwhere that lets you breathe underwater when you wear a golden helmet...look into it?
There is also a parachute mod that slows down falling..it may be too old though.
Heroic death is good too..just another rp nifty thingie.
Get water flow help plugin, makes it a tad easier too mess with water currents and would help for cannons.
iDeath thing is known to be buggy..look into Cookie Monster, it is compatible with iConomy and gives cash rewards.
(currency should be bottlecaps :happy.gif:)
Make a tutorial..I've made a lot before and will gladly make more if I have acess to about a couple hundred signs...if you want to see the one I built go to play.dangazzm.com and just play for the first 20 minutes. you'll see what I mean.
Getting npcs isn't a good idea...it causes frequent overloads if not done correctly. Look into the shop system via Lockette I think. All thats needed is a chest and a sign.

If I don't get Merc, I claim France in the name of the Nation of Bastille. :biggrin.gif:..Which is the name of the 36 people faction on the affor mentioned server.
eries for the age i think it should be twelve or over as all the FPS idiots who scream at everyone think minecraft is shite so stay way from it so we have a rather mature player base for minecraft. quite a few servers i have played on have had people on who are just past 10 and they've been really mature,sensible and helpful. I'm just saying this because about half the people who have applied have been below your proposed age.
p.s i have read the post were you say your age isn't set in stone this is just my thoughts on it
The issue we really have is every person under 15/16 says the same exact thing.. Im ## and I am very mature about my age.. I mean seriously I even posted in this thread how I dont want to see younger players telling me that they are very mature for their age. YET I still get people saying it. ****, I even had one say it today.
What it comes down to is simple. Im over 30. All of our admins are over 17+. We all have had bad experiences with people under the age of 15. All in all its a moot point.
There are other servers that can fit the their needs and actually want players of that age. I found one today that is movecraft and wants the age 12-18 because they want no pedos.
Be sure to post the ventrillo details when you give us an IP.
Is it possible to disable the rain? I think it is incredibly annoying and I'm sure others will agree. I also think that it may be benifitial to have an admin wall around the edge, maybe not a huge 100 block tall one but big enough so that you can be knocked off the edge by being attacked by a mob or another player; but don't bother unless this is happening while people are testing.
Nope, we had one in the past and idiots could remember the command so we would have people type /stop rain. Needless to say our server kept being stopped over and over and over.

Also, no mercs. This is not Aero, you must be part of a faction in order to play.

At first we was going to use something other than factions. then decided against it and went to factions. We don't use hero chat so there will not be any conflicts. Having parachutes may not be a bad thing. Also a water flow plugin is not needed for cannons. If you die because of your cannon then you are doing something wrong. I say this as a person who spent over half their minecraft player life building, testing, and experimenting cannons. I have a vanilla map set up just as a cannon range. So I know for a fact there is no mods needed to use them.
I also do not like npc/citizens and suggested a few different plugins to replace them because I have heard tooo many bad things. However Vor likes them and wants to test it himself. Ultimately we will figure it out one way or another.
In all seriousness though... We had more complaints about you than any other player last game.
You may have been good at covering your ass, but then again people still accused you of xraying, and raiding bases while players where off line. Also you are 1 of the few players who could have lava bombed the last server which is the ultimate reason for no lava on this server.
If you do come over, you will be watched and you are being warned now. PVP does not mean be an asshole. As long as you follow the rules and we don't get complaints you are more than welcome to come. However we are going to be stricter when it comes to enforcing the rules.
:EDIT:
If anyone has experience with worldguard please hit me up via PM.
We are having a slight issue and can not find any information on how to set up the ability to buy land at the spawn to set up shops. We can set up shops, however other players can not, other than buying an npc and putting it in their own city.
We have found a work around that would allow us to do it, but it means adding another plug in and bypassing worldguard for some sections which would leave them open for destruction.

I take PVP seriously, I enjoy the thrills it brings and of course the extra challenge it brings me to be one vs all.
I am good at what I do and it's not that I use xray, it's just that it's obvious. While yes I have listened to faction chats which was a **** move it didnt teach me any base locations. It just took me my time to notice the one torch ppl left to find their base or the way the cliff looked unatural for the Tech base with a blimp. I just know what I am doing and I dont like xray anyways because that is how ppl find me..Im not invincible, ive had to move so many times.
-
Cal, who was suppose to lead the server, said you could loot bases (not ships) if they were offline. He said it so I followed that rule. Simple enough.
I was called an asshole? Yes, all I did was abide by the pvp side of the server and well..killed people for their items. Not my fault the others werent doing pvp or raged when I killed them. Even you stood by me when some dude got extremely pissed when I killed him and you said the carebear thingie.
-
I accept your suspicions on who could have dumped lava... but do you really think someone who was established and had things running smoothly would go through the risk of a ban just for dumping lava? I think not..then again it's just my opinion and you have the right to point fingers.
-
I do like the rule enforcing..which means you should look into getting moderators with kick/ban. Other then that I'm more then ready to test the server once more. Heck, even start a faction again. It's worked wonders for me in the past.
