I am in the process of making a new server on a computer I own. I want to make a 24/7 dedicated server for either Minecraft or Gmod, however, I cannot host both on the same machine and have them run properly.
I am here asking about general interest in this server idea. All I want is a post from you indicating you would be interested in a server with the following ideas and settings.
The server would be capped at around 15-20 people (and no waits, because I will only whitelist as many people as the cap) As I just alluded to, it will be whitelisted, and I will be using the banhammer without mercy on griefers (not an instaban mind you, just a ban on obvious griefers)
It will be an in-character roleplaying server set on the frontier of a large kingdom. The main focus will be setting up the village, after which exploration and development into a town or city would be the goal. I will play the role of the village magistrate, as well as the server administrator outside of character confines. I have three close personal friends who will be moderators and fill the jobs of village planner and two regular citizens.
This server is not a sure thing set in stone, and the player cap may change depending on how much RAM I can allot to Minecraft (It's on a clunky version of Vista that likes to eat RAM, I'll have to do some registry optimizing)
Things that will not change should this server come into play:
In-Character playing (i.e. the baker bakes, the miner mines and the lumberjack... jacks lumber, as well, chat not contained in double parentheses or something similar ((like this)) or [this] or -this- will be in character)
It will be village development oriented
I will strive to keep it as a pleasant, friendly place devoid of rudeness, racism and vulgarity.
So, in a non committing post, tell me if you would be interested on playing on a server like this if/when it is off the ground.
Alright, I've hit a snag on the server. It's not dead, it's just in a comatose and unlikely to wake up for a few weeks.
It was hit two-fold. You see, in my house, my router is in the kitchen where the main desktop is. We have several laptops and computers throughout the house, and so we have an N-type wireless router. Unfortunately, I am unable to run the server off this network because it will eat my bandwidth alive for the rest of the wireless internet in the house.
As well, I was tinkering with the server host to be computer and it did not take it well. I am not sure exactly what parts I'll need to replace, but the tally so far is a power supply, a mother board, and possibly a graphics card (protip: make sure, even if the computer is powered down, unplug it from the wall before digging around in it)

So, the server may take a while longer.
I don't care how long it takes, I just want to try the server out!
I'm working at it. Currently I give guitar lessons at 10 bucks an hour, so it's slow going on the server box. The one I was going to use is completely fried. I salvaged what I could and I'm going to frankenstein something to run the server on. My chief concern is having something that can stay up 100% of the time with little maintenance. This costs money, and with speculation about internet in Canada being charged by use, not by flat rate, I'll need a cash reserve stored up to pay for it's upkeep.
If people want to help, I don't want to take donations because of 2 things:
1) If I can't manage to get a server up, I'd have to jump through hoops to return the cash and
2) I don't want to start doling out special treatment and VIP statuses like lots of other servers.
To be most helpful to me, I need suggestions for mods and wrappers.
Remember, this is a non-fantasy medieval RP server. Anything from server hosting software like Bukkit to game mods that put in NPCs or custom items. Place your suggestions here please (free stuff only, I'm having a hard time just buying a server, let alone paying for software)
I'm going to be a person living in the wood with a bow and arrow.
It's not a elf so don't worry.
Grizzled woodsman type eh? I like it. I'll have to maybe cheat you in some string so you can make your bow though... What with no monsters on, at least for the beginning.
I just thought of what I'm gonna be :smile.gif: Thing is, a couple items you might have to cheat in for me, unless I find enough iron to make several swords right off the bat :/ Things you might have to cheat in for me: String (enough to make a bow), a couple iron swords (or just 6 iron), and a set of chainmail armour (full set. this can only be cheated into the game)
We shall see. I'm not going to start cheating everything in. Just a few things here or there we can't get with creatures off. As for the chainmail, if it works with the roleplay, then I have no problem with it.

K. My Character is gonna need chainmail or better (preferably chainmail)
