TRIDENT was founded on the principles that no one should have to choose between the two main types of Minecraft Servers, no one should have to decide whether they want to build or fight, to create or destroy. Ordinary servers do just that, they cater to just one side of the Minecraft equilibrium, but TRDIENT aims to offer a truly balanced and multifaceted experience by not forcing players to choose, no longer do you have to give up the friendly and supportive community you’re accustomed to in order to try something different. At TRIDENT you can play with the same friends, the same helpful moderators and administrators, enjoy the same benefits, all while exploring both aspects of Minecraft. No matter where your interests lie, whether it be in PvP, Monster Hunting, and a unique RP system, or architecture, design, and intricate redstone circuitry, TRIDENT can offer you an experience that far surpasses any other in the SMP world.
To achieve these goals, we have created two distinct environments within one server that give you all the benefits of playing with the same people, but also provide two completely different gaming experiences. On one end of the spectrum are our ‘hardcore’ worlds, these worlds (a normal world and a nether world) cater to players interested in RP, Factions, War, and Mining. On these worlds, no item spawning is allowed (not even by moderators), the only structure made of spawned materials is the spawnpoint itself. On these worlds, feel free to join or create a faction, declare your allegiance to either the Gods or Titans, and wreak havoc on your enemies. However, at TRIDENT we stress the difference between competitive and fun warring and fighting, as opposed to griefing and trolling; we believe that there is a distinct difference between the two: trolls and griefers serve no purpose other than to enrage the community by breaking the unsaid rules, spawnkilling, hacking, and running away from fights. To help reduce the amount of trolling and griefing, all form of teleportation (in the ‘hardcore’ worlds) requires a five second warm-up period, which is automatically reset if you receive any form of damage, this prevents players from running (or more accurately teleporting) away from fights. Furthermore, to reduce hacking, NoCheat as well as AntiXRay are both implemented ensuring a level playing field. To combat unnecessary griefing, we use the Factions plugin which provides player controlled grief-protection while still allowing for wars and fighting. To further enhance the ‘hardcore’ aspects, we use the Hunger plugin, which adds a realistic hunger aspect to the game; we also use mcMMO and Demigods to not only increase fun and player retention, but also to add team loyalty and additional experiences unseen in the vanilla Minecraft. Through this, we achieve the goals set out for most, if not all, ‘hardcore’ role-play server, but this is just half of the TRIDENT experience.
The true TRIDENT experience comes not only from the ‘hardcore’ facets of Minecraft, but also the ‘freebuild’ experience. The ‘freebuild’ experience stands in stark contrast to the ‘hardcore’ experience, in it everyone (all registered users) is allowed to spawn items (except banned items which are explicitly listed), everyone can be able to fly. The ‘freebuild’ experience aims to inspire creativity and explore the building aspect of Minecraft. Within the ‘freebuild’ domain, there are another two separate realms, a testing world, and a glamorous world based on the Earth map by salexp. Within the test world, players may experiment on different designs, and are allowed to experiment with certain banned items in designated locations. Within the Earth world, there exist numerous TRIDENT Approved cities, while players are allowed to build elsewhere, it is encouraged that players build within these cities due to ease of access, visibility, and protection.
The TRIDENT Economy plays a large role within both realms and ties both groups of worlds together. Within the ‘hardcore’ worlds you can earn money by mining precious stones, selling goods in your own shop, killing monsters, and completing challenges. In the ‘hardcore’ worlds, this money can be used to purchase goods in player shops, as well as improve your mcMMO stats. In the ‘freebuild’ worlds, money can be earned by building landmarks, completing different challenges, or winning various community tournaments such as our Spleef tournament. The money can be used to purchase special abilities, such as flying, WorldEdit, godmode as well as purchasing different city plots, and gaining admission to various community events.
TRIDENT aims to provide a quality experience unlike any other server by combining both aspects of Minecraft into one server. At TRIDENT, you can play to your heart’s content, either building or fighting, and can still play with the same friendly community that you will love.

First of all I'm a casual gamer, that's dedicated and committed to most servers I settle in. I'm generally helpful to other members of the server, but admittedly I'm really anxious and inquisitive at the beginning. I've had modding/admin experience in another semi-popular server, and I'm proficient in photoshop (banners etc?) and MCedit (creating structures and buildings.

Hi, I was actually just about to post on your thread :smile.gif: If you can wait until Monday, we will have our plugins and website finished! Right now we're still testing plugins, but you'll be welcome once we get everything finalized :smile.gif:

Bukkit Experience: no (I don't know what that is)
Approximate Playtime per week: A couple hours every couple of days or so. More if I've got a spcific project I'm working on.
I want to join because I'm looking for a good casual survivor server, and you recommended this one. I checked it out, and it looks good. By the way, you mentioned that there's an economy. Is there some sort of central marketplace area where people can go if they want to trade? What item, if any, is used as currency? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for submitting your application!
As for the economy: gold, iron, and diamonds will all be able to be converted into iConomy money in the hardcore world (in the freebuild worlds, you can obviously spawn diamonds so it would be pointless) you will be able to exchange items for money at Trident Exchange Points, located near major population centers and spawn, basically you put your iron/gold/diamonds in a chest, punch the chest, and get iConomy money. Furthermore, if you want to trade or buy items, players will have the opportunity to create their own shops allowing for total control in prices and location, however I'm sure some of the larger factions will have centralized locations where you can conveniently buy/sell items (I know that my faction will have one).
To all the people who recently submitted their applications, Trident Gaming is currently down for plugin installation, we expect to be done with all plugin installation and testing by Monday. If you really want to join while we're still testing, please PM me or email me at [email protected]
