I would like to say some things about this server for all the new players who will be waiting for the official opening. This serer is one in a million. It is an amazing RP server, the best I have ever had the pleasure to play on, maybe even the best minecraft server I have ever seen. The spawn is incredibly elaborate spawn with many amazing features such as, an underground subway system, (a great way to avoid scum bag thrives or even the police if you are getting to your drug lab) an amazing sewer system where you can deal, buy and sell drugs, but watch out for the police, as drugs are very illegal and can be taken away if any NDPD sees them.
Some more cool features are plots. You can rent or buy these plots either in the city or in the "slums". The slums are just how they sound. They are bunched together wooden shacks, that are fairly low to rent out, although watch out when taking a stroll there because you may get jumped at any time. Also of course there is a great police system. There is a Police Head Quarters near the middle of the city who try to bust dealers and protect citizens.
If you are new to these type of RP servers here are some suggestions. First, run from spawn as far away as you feel necessary and start making a base. Next once you have a inhabitable base, look for sugar cane or plant the seeds with your hoe you get in /kit starter. Once you have gotten enough sugar cane, or seeds you need to start a farm, watch over it and expand it any way you can. My suggestion is to make your farm underground because you never know if the police will come around and take all your contraband. Once you have an adequate sized farm, start harvesting and expanding even more. You will want to get as much contraband as you can and sell it for money. Also I would suggest you get iron or some type of armor to protect yourselves while making those trips into the city. Once you have all this you will start to make an income from selling your drugs. After a while you will be able to rank up as you will see on the main page.
Do this for a while, become known, maybe join a gang, and finally conquer the city as the Drug Lord you can be.
Hi , I have some feedback on the server
The bad:
1:Donors get WAY to much
2:you cant use /home
3:No warps
4:Huge unbalance of police and citezens
The Good:
1:This server overall is amazing
2:spawn is great
3:Police system would be great except for inbalance
4:Great staff
5:Not too small and not too many players
Hmm well remember captainjoshay, it is still Beta. Which means not just anyone can join. Once the server goes public, you can count on ALOT more citizens. Don't worry.

Yes i do know this that wasn't what i was mostly woorried about it was the unbalance bettween police and citezens and most importantly /home
It'd be great to hear more critical views as well so we know how to make the server even better! If you know something you didn't like, even a small thing, please let us know.
Well, for starters, Drug Dealers and overall thugs get way too much protection. The amount of land they can cover is ridiculous and with it underground, it's very hard for Police to even get a whiff of where they are really at. They also hide in the city and it makes me very very angry for the fact that they simply block up and we are sitting outside the home, completely powerless. These things should be worked on.
I noticed that there are virtually no citizens, that has to be worked on. Like salaries for working at the nightclub, store, pizza hut, etc, etc. Citizens need jobs, right now it's either you're a drug dealer or a cop.
I also dislike the idea of home, and am glad you guys are not implementing it/have done it yet. There's only really 1 way of a cop finding his way to a base and that is following someone. If they TP, it's basically impossible. That's all my current feedback.
I have read all of your posts, and I just wanted to say I appreciate all of your support, as it does seem we have ran into some issues along the way, but you guys held your ground and didn't quit because of it. I'd like to thank you guys for any suggestions you have made, and I am exceedingly thankful for all of the positive reviews so far. I hope to make Urban Craft an experience that will be marked down in your minecraft history, as I know my old one did for many. Well, I hope to see all of you guys in-game some more, and hopefully get to see some new faces around. I just cannot get enough of this awesome community already, and this is only the start.

Im sorry I am going to be a bit busy over the next few days so don't panic if I am a bit inactive, because Im certainly not leaving just really busy for the next 2-4 days and I can't come on for a little while.

Very good ideas Skullgunner, I love the jobs idea (:
I have a few more things to add to the jobs idea, so far the only jobs are cop or a dealer. Here is a few more new ideas,
Bartender at the nightclub, Mcdonalds employee, Fireman, Doctor or a Nurse or Cashier at the Emporio Minecraft or Minebucks.
Having these jobs will give a purpose for all the currently unused buildings in New Bolton and add a realistic feel to the server. I have another idea, we can add more specialisations for the cops so everyone has a special role in the NBPD. Some ideas are, Detective, SWAT, General Duties (a bit of everything) and Drug Specialists (Store all drugs in the evidence room and assist the SWAT in finding drug farms as well as coordianting drug busts.) I think each cop needs a unique role to provide them with a sense of duty and responsibility in the NBPD.

Have you ever Beta tested any other server? No, but I'd like to.
Why you should be a Beta tester? I'd love help find problems and suggest some things before the official release; So this server will be fun packed for players.

Do you have Skype? bartbro900From reading some posts I already have an idea/suggestion. Sorry for double posting btw.
Perhaps you could choose to be just a plain ordinary citizen that can't place, break drugs or sell. And instead can choose a job from the jobs plugin? (If you have it) And if your a druggie you can only pick farmer?
Also with the citizen path they'll be able to help find labs whilst their mining and what not and can report the coords to the police and they'll raid the farm.

A similar jobs system will be added fairly soon, I suggest you read skullgunners post a few post above this one.

Looks fairly good, maybe a bit more writing if you want to be gauranteed a spot in the NBPD.

Although the idea of new jobs to the city of New Bolton sounds good, I don't think we should implement them just yet. Wait until the server goes live and we get at least 20-25 people on regularly because if there are just a few people who play then players with those jobs would not be having fun at all. Also the idea of a fireman is pretty much useless seeing the amount of fires that happen is pretty close to 0.

Time in which you can dedicate being online: I an online for a few hours each day depending on after school commitments and homework. On weekends I am usually able to come online for a longtime but you may not see me too often as I am in a completely different continent compared to most of you from Canada USA and Britain.
Current Rank:Officer in the NBPD
Other notable staff positions:I have been a mod and an admin on various servers including Ironcross Factions a popular US Server.
Why you should be a Helper: I should be a helper because I have been a very active member of Urban Craft and I want to become a helper desperately. I love Urban Craft and I would love to contribute to the server as a Helper and assist in the development of the server and help out the new players once the server is released.
Skype?I have finally got Skype and will PM it to you.
Anything else we should know? Thanks for reading my app (:.
Have you ever Beta tested any other server?
I have beta tested a couple and my friend told me about this server and I think it will be a very fun experience.
Why you should be a Beta tester?
I should be a beta tester because I go on minecraft very often and I will regulary contribute to this wonderful server. I also think the server will gain many members when you realase the official server and i will advertise this server to all my friends to gain popularity.
About Yourself:
I have been playing minecraft for 3 years so i have a very decent knowledge about minecraft. The only downfall about me is that I am not very good when it comes to commands on servers but I'm a quick learner so if some of your staff teach me how some commands work that would be great. I think that I would be a good helper because I am very obediant (example: if i'm a helper and someone tells me what to do to help the server i will get it done straight away.
Do you have Skype?
Yes I do. I will PM the owner my name.
Well I have my fingers crossed if I will be white listed on this server
Sorry I've been kinda out of the loop lately guys. crazy stuff has been happening in Boston, and my life has been very messed up by what happened.... hopefully this week I can make it back on...
