We need builders to help with the zombie world we are building, it is a MASSIVE project!
We are also looking for a few artists to make some texture packs, some web banners, and possibly a few skins for our server.
Hello, my name is Seth, and I have wanted to start my own server for a looooong time. I finally just decided to make a post on the forums to see what I could get out of it, and maybe find out what the community wants in a server. First off, there are a few things that I definitely want in my server.
Multiverse
I feel like to have an incredibly successful server, you need to have something for everybody, so I want Multiverse on my server, and obviously, multiple worlds, including:
1. Hardcore PvP world, this would be the main world, and would most likely have either a faction plugin, or a towny plugin.
2. A creative world, a world with no plugins, but everyone is set to creative mode, so they can roam and build as they please.
3. A peaceful survival world, a world where it is set on survival mode, but there is no PvP other than in the arenas, that are built either by the server staff, or built by the players and set-up by the server staff.
All the worlds below this are only an idea, and may not ever even happen.
4. A zombie Apocalypse world, this world would be pre-built, and would probably still be worked on while the other main worlds were already up and being used. It would be pre-built, and zombie spawn would be set up to like a bajillion percent, and they would be able to spot players from farther away.
5. A prison world, just like any prison server, except once you entered this world as a prisoner, you would have to escape to go back to one of the other worlds.
6. A world that has double resources, such as double trees, twice as many ores, twice as many peaceful mobs, and half as many enemy mobs, however you would have to pay in-game currency to enter this world for a pre-determined amount of time.
7. A game world! A world that would have server staff built games, such as roller coasters, boat races, casino games and the like, for everyone to spend their hard-earned money.
8. A magic world, where a spell plugin will be added and players can duke it out in the wild, or in a big arena built by server staff.
9. A pirate world, where there would be a vast ocean, and borders of mountains, this world would have the move plugin, so that pirate ships could be built, and thus a giant pirate war would unfold.
10. Any other worlds that can be thought or dreamed up by the community.
Good Plug-ins
I feel that when it comes to SMP, plug-ins can make or break a server. If a server has bad plug-ins, you leave and never come back. If it has good plug-ins, you add it to your server list. I have a few ideas for good plug-ins in mine, but I don't feel like I could make that decision without talking to the people that want to help me start this server (if there even is anyone).
Knowledgeable/friendly staff
This is one of the most important things. The staff have to know what they're doing, and how to do it efficiently and to everyone's satisfaction. The staff also has to be friendly, they're staff for a reason, they should worry about their job before messing around doing whatever they're doing. I'm not saying that they can't have fun, but if they aren't doing their job, then they definitely won't be staying in that position for long on this server.
Active forum
This server will definitely have an active forum, whether it be on the Minecraft forums or our own personal site. Personally, I don't see very much of a difference. But, depending on the other staff, I guess we will see what happens. I also feel that the staff should actively be adding stuff to the forum, such as in-game videos, screens, and other such things. That way people coming to the server for the first time can get a taste of how awesome it is.
So, that is it for now, and you may be thinking; "Seth, what was the point of that long-ass post?" Well I'll tell you little learners, you see, this server is a big project, and I am going to need help starting it, so this post is basically showing some of my ideas, and trying to get people interested in helping me, there are a few different positions that I need right now, they are:
3 other admins/co-owners: this is possibly the most important, and I will not even consider you for this until you have put in a decent amount of work and I am convinced that you will stay with us.
1 host, OK, i admit it, the biggest reason this server isn't up already is because I can't host it on my shitty computer, so we either need to find someone with the power to host it personally, or find a professional host.
Builders, we will need lots of builders to build everything, such as the spawns, the arenas, everything.
That is all that I'm looking for, please if you're even slightly interested in any of these, comment on the forum and we can discuss this all.
Thank you for reading, and please post.
List of people that have shown interest so far:
hxrry-"Would like to help out."
Zillo-"Help with moderating, plug-in installation, and other such things."
Diaxis-"Could I help join you?"
DannyFlynnMC-Could potentially be the server artist, making a server texture-pack, a web banner, and possibly some skins. Is working on the texture pack and will be decided on the job when it is unveiled. If you would like to be an artist, PM me.
Slendykid898-Good application, being considered for builder/admin.
IPwnC00k1es- Our first accepted builder! And no, I promise it's not biased, if you want to be a builder just say so, the only reason I made him one is because he asked and provided an application.
Jtpetino-Wants to help moderate.
Want to see your name up here? Post an application for whatever position you want!
Sounds Really good! I would love to put time in and help you out

Good, I'm also 17, right now we need to worry about finding people to help, then we'll figure out somewhere more private we can chat about everything with the other people, I'm thinking Google docs, make a Google account if you don't have one already.

If you want to be a builder for us, you will need to provide examples of your building with screens, and/or videos.
Also, we are looking for someone to help on the forums by taking lots of awesome screenshots and uploading videos, if you can and want to do those things, post on the forums here with your application and some examples and we will take you into consideration.

My name is Egor (I.G.N. tierdal) and I want to make a little proposal!
First, I want to tell you a bit about myself:
- I am 18 years old, live in USA, Florida. I run an Online Gaming Community called Outbreak Gamers. The reason you have not heard of us is because we are still a small community. I also run 2 Minecraft game servers, as well as 1 Garry's Mod server. i know HTML, CSS, some PHP and Javascript programming languages. I run a website, forums, ventrilo server, and Finances.
My mission is to unite gamers from the gaming universe together, so they can share gameplay experience, socialize, and be entertained. The purpose of me posting this here is the following reason:
-I will provide a VPS Hosting for you, but in return 50% of all donations made will go towards running the server, 25% will go to you, and the last 25% will go towards the community. You will also have to mention Outbreak Gamers on your server. You will have full access to the FTP, McMyAdmin, custom subdomain name, etc... I will provide you with a Private Chat Room on Ventrilo, As well as a separate section on the forums.
If you are interested in the above-mentioned deal, Please PM me the answer. If you have anything to add or include, let me know.

Still looking for builders, mods, and an artist, post on here if you're interested! There is about a 90% chance that the server will be up, and about a 95% chance that it will have mostly everything stated in the OP, so don't think "ohhhh, this is just another idea that is awesome but will never happen." Because it WILL HAPPEN (probably). So post an application, don't be scared.

This goes out to everyone who has already expressed interest in the server:
What type of builds are you best at? Any specific themes, structures, landscapes, etc.? Also, do you have any other types of skills, apart from building; things like experience with plugins, server administration, rule enforcement techniques, and the like.
In other words, what do you really think you'll be bringing to the table if you're added to the server? It'd be nice to see what some of the co-creators of a server have skill at before things really get rolling.
