Okay guys. I am planning on making a cracked server, and of course i will use some sort of authorization plugin, but I need ideas! I thought about using Towny for it, because that can really auto-enforce all of the rules I want enforced in the server, but I am told it takes up a considerably large amount of RAM. So you are welcome to post your ideas below regarding plugins and such, but please don't ask for staff yet. I will post another thread for the staff application process, and I will probably post a link on this thread for those of you who want to give it a shot. My mind is completely open at this stage, so post away!
I'm really bad at coming up with ideas. But like... from other servers I've been on have personal shops, but like I don't really have any good ideas so yeah lol...
An economy will definitely come into the server, but maybe not right away. I think I will let people get on their feet before trying to start an economy.
You should put a place where there are some grass blocks somewhere in the world! herp derp!
But in all seriousness don't base a server off 1 plugin unless it is huge and amazing (like towny is). Find a few that work together and create something really cool. Or decide an idea and get one developed from there. I'm just saying this because of the other comments in this thread tend to fall into that.
Here's my ideas. I'm going to assume you are mainly interested in SMP style
Vikings. Everything is vikings. get a custom texture pack (this is actually very easy) that reflects the idea, There are a few little villages around and people go from village to village getting slaying quests. maybe use a bounty hunter plugin also. Viking ships are really cool so make some of those around spawn. If you are interested in towny that could also play a role.
Ranks could be achieved by slaying players and becoming a warrior. Economy included.
Pirates. But this has already been done a few times. Ships plugin, cannons, tnt throw, pretty straight forward. maybe add clans to it as well to disable friendly pvp. Generate a wold that is all water. Give small amounts of materials as part of ranking up, more materials = bigger ships. and because its all water thats the only way (besides shops?) to get more building stuff.
DeathStar. Everyone is a clone working on the deathstar. make a world that is empty(or almost, kinda like skyblock) with just one massive ball(maybe huge world edit cyl) of stone/ironblock. Spawn in the middle. there are rooms people can rent, extensive economy and stuff. just keep expanding is fromt he inside. Like everyone lives in a shell and there are places to go and work to be done. Just keep building out.
Something else. make your own idea! find something that is interesting and make it happen. what ever you decide, i hope this was helpful and good luck
heh there is a mob arena on my server, the players love it. If you ever wanna check it out for reference feel free to, just join the game and do /ma join
SlaveCraft: first thing you do is make TWO water fountains... lol no. The idea will be similar to prison servers but more open to player shop economy. Huge open land with very tall walls to keep the slaves so they can't escape you'll need to also insure they can't dig to their freedom either of coarse so just like prison server you can only mine in mine pits.
Player shops and server shops: you should set up a few main shops just to get money into the server but let the players have most of the control.
Tree farm, fishing hole, animal farms, wheat farm, pretty much any farm you want.
Plots for building. Just because they're slaves doesn't mean they don't like to build.
The prisoned area would look like a town instead of a prison.

Completely semi-fresh idea
I saw a server exactly like this almost a year ago. it was romans and you started as a slave and worked your way up using economy.... I wonder if it's still around...?
Thanks!

It's a PvP-Minigame that makes MW3 Infected Mode.
I use it for a server I help manage on.
