ARCHIA - A NEW GAME MODE-LIKE Check the project's progress in the bottom of this thread!
Hi. First let me introduce myself.
I am Elliene_Archlord in minecraft.
I use to pickup people from servers, make friends, skype and then build my own custom maps so I can invite these new friends to play with me. We've had bad times to run a server haha.
After months of building, I just remind what my friend Saria told me: ''You should upload your maps in planetmc or forum, they'll get many downloads''
And now, I come with this offer:
I am a massive gamer who loves to play games with epic landscapes, but also, who here loves those games where you have to level up to improve your armor, skills, and others, and while you keep getting deeper, all turns harder.
I have two weeks working on ''Archia'' You might think: bleh, she's from Mexico? and also is just gonna be another typical adventure map?
Well, no.
Archia, is a very special new gamemode in a minecraft map, based in very famous and other online multiplayer games, exposed in a new minecraft gaming mode.
Imagine this: The map, is very special to me. I always, try overdetail everything, just to make it more realistic, to feel it more... exciting, to improve the adventure, and well, all the games I prefer to play, are medieval. So this is.
Ingame content: Archia is very special to me, right now, Im building the season 1, this season has: two cities, 20 bosses, above 30 common monster-type, 35 quests, and buildings, that really are much better than mods, and is 100% free from plugins/mods.
You come and say: you just use mc edit. No.
Mc edit is the 15% of the work I spend building Archia. 60% of the hard work is manual. And the other 25% is with various tools.
In the moment, Archia, itself in season 1 is at 50%, and it is already 500mb of download.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the gameplay...
Archia consists in a massive ROL game based in a minecraft universe where you have to choose between three classes:
The Knight - The strongest class ingame. Knights can use sword and some magics, but they don't have the enough skill to use bows. The man class. The Knight is the only class who can reach the last castle and govern Archia together his guild.
The Valkyre - Valkyre is the long-range weapon class. You must team up with a valkyre, long distance attacks will be needed. Valkyre can use any long-range weapon, and they can fight with melee skills, using daggers only. Valkyres can't use any magic skill. Valkyres are clever, you won't like to mess with one. This class suits more for the girl, but you can call yourself Archer if you're a man, or a Valkyre too.
The elementalist - The only class that can use the three types of fighting skills: magic, ranging and melee. It's supposed to be the girly class, very femenine and lovely. Is the perfect class to cast AOE skills (multi magic skill attacks in a certain radius) perfect to kill a whole pull (bunch of monsters). Elementalist's problem is the physical resistance and physical damage, since their skills are very extreme, their defensive armours aren't like other classes, and since they are the only class with AOEs in the moment, their physical dmg is the lowest of the three classes, but their skillcast is very fast.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- How to play You will start in a small island, this is a tutorial about the game. Most of the rules and guides are in the books, these books are written in english, and spanish. So read them all, you can't miss a single part or you will ruin the playment.
You start in the first village, Anchorville. The first city where you start questing, your adventure, and picking a class. When you go out from the city, you enter in the free battlefield. You will find many creatures outside in there. white named monsters are common monsters. Red named monsters, are bosses, and yellow named monsters, are elementals.
While you adquire level you can use new types of armors and weapons, when you finish all the quests from a city, you may move to the next one, but the difficult increases.
In the season 1, the max level required is 50
In the season 2, ''Archia, the Elemental worlds'' the max level is 111.
I don't exactly know how many seasons will I keep updating, but right now I already have the content in my mind for 3-6.
When you earn level, you can also start learning buff skills that boost your hp bar, strength, defense, skill block, dodge, attack, physical resistance and elemental shields and improve your attack skills.
The game suits perfect if you gonna play with 3 or more friends together. It also suits for a multiplayer server perfectly as a new ''minigame'' that would last for a very long time , but you gonna need bukkit to add some rules.And it is also funny if you gonna play in singleplayer too, but recommended, have friends to play it together.
The size of the map is planned to be super huge.
Also, I'm working on the ''sound and music'' part, since these sounds are owned by other companies, I need their permission to use ingame (minecraft) if this is not approved, I'll upload in youtube videos to let you enjoy the perfect combination between a landscape and music, that really suits to the game. oH AND! I almost forget, I obviously will add those things that everyone loves to play in a game: - Dungeons (planned to build over 100 unique and original dungeons and above, the only tiny dungeon is the tutorial dungeon, but is just to learn hehe, out from that, they use to be big to huge with many danger, bosses and other content, monsters like bosses use to drop very strong armor and other items to combinate and create better gear and jewelry)
Unlike other adventure maps, Im planning over-expand this mmm, ''gameplay'', I've tried really hard maps, but I can finish em' in a night with a friend, but Archia is a long-term gameplay.
You won't come and say ''I'll beat you, I can finish it in 1 hour''
No. This map, that I call ''new game mode'' will give you months of fun, and hard challanges. I'm trying to make a new difference between maps and game modes, like if it was a new aether with more content, but without the use of mods or un-existing content from original minecraft data.
I use to come on forums sometimes, and I see many people adds a ''donate'' button. Im not rich, neither poor, but I have enough to get a job and study and make my stuff , and my only payment the only payment I want from you all, is the ''thanks for it'' or ''Im gonna play with my friends, or I'll invite you to play with me (I'd like that) Anything that makes the minecraft community stick-on for a really long time, like the Aether, but using the only original existing content in minecraft, and keep updating it to upcoming versions of the game.
The three existing classes aren't the only aviable, But are the only, that season 1 will offer you.
- The gameplay (the whole map and content) is based in Humans There's 4 races (4 continents, or huge realms) so releasing another realm (because there's 4 races) would take too many time, and it'd boost up the gamelife from months to years, well actually the first realm (human) will last, probably more than a year, depending of the updates. I will open the beta soon as possible (by soon, we're talking about days), right in the moment I finish the season 1 I will post it and in planet mc, because I want you to tell me how funny can it be. And if you liked it, support for community updates. But like the last of us owners said, '' The main reason we are doing this, is because we want to make a game, that we wanna play, no matter if it was famous or not, afterall, is what we really wanted''
Well in other words, is the game that I really want to play with friends, and upcoming friends like you. And I like those games that never have an ending, and always keep updating, but nicely.
I really enjoy being a new member in minecraft forums, I hope I can meet people in here and make new friends.

EXITING NEWS - Archia Season 1 - The chaotic frontier episode 1 almost out! What will be the ingame content? by season, we are talking about a massive change ingame, a new ending, and episode, is enlarging the season with more content. - Season 1 has a very funny content and detailed buildings, special monsters and exciting item drop.
- THE MONSTERS As I said there's three type of monsters in season1 ep.1, bosses (4) common monsters (common monsters aren't just common mc classic mobs, no. They are modified, but ingame, they don't have a high rank to be bosses, or other, theres MANY common monsters). - And finally the elementals (3 types)
Monsters also have drop rates, there's three type of items in the moment:
Uniques- unique items are dropped by many of the cave/dungeon monsters. These are common items with special bonuses and for a specific class.
Realm- Realms or realm armors/sets are special super-modified armors, they can give bonuses as all combat stats +1, elemental resistances and defense bonuses. Realm armors are the most valious, since they don't need level to be equiped and any class can use it.
Quest and Special Items - also some monsters drop quest items, these items are needed to complete a quest with the villagers and progress ingame (after you complete all the quests of a city, and you have the required level you can continue traveling to a different place. And the special items such as fragments. Some fragments can be exchanged for a very rare and special rare items, such as boosters, passports and refining material, to combinate items.
Bosses have higher drop rate than any other type of monster, however, bosses can't drop all the items you'd to have.
It's almost here! the first stage of this huge adventure new-game mode like! The latest update was: ''The maze dungeon'' which is a very epic place to train and adquire goodies.
Next and last update - The hills dungeon and the beginning of the elemental realms. After this update I'll put the season 1 episode 1 (chaotic frontier) in here, to let you download it Then you may experience the game, and tell me how good/bad was it, so if you liked it remember, this is the episode 1.

I really think that this will be a fun map I will be waiting and watching for the map to come out!
btw
I would really love to help out in building this map it would be an honor. I am an okay builder and can help just to speed up the process of it. If you let me my skype is ethanwasbeta
Yes. We're in a weekend, so I'm trying my best to finish the first stage of the map (Alpha), and then I'll release the Beta to let the people download it.
Literally the plan is release a beta where you can enjoy the map with it's existing content for a couple of days if you're a massive singleplayer, or extend it to week(s) if you play for a serie, or a week or so with friends, similar to serie mode ha.
And the BETA consists in season 1, season 1 has 3 chapters, this is the first one.
I think there's a way to download the map twice and traslate the items like if it was a patch for everytime you'll update for a new season/chapter.
Promised, I'll keep updating the map quick as possible to keep updating everyone and keep playing it. I hope I can handle the work.
This sounds very interesting. Can you give us a link to your Planet Minecraft page?
Also, I realize that this is still a work in progress, but do you have any pictures to share yet?
Good luck!
Of course I do. The plan is finish the season 1 - chaotic frontier today! I am just adding the last features and getting the forum-wiki. Since the ingame content is super expanded, I decided to create a new forum thread here, probably tomorrow, with the download link, images about the game and of course, I'll post in planetMC too.
I have to create a new topic here or super-customize the actual one, and because, the game content is super... you can't just come and say I'll play the adventure map, it's gonna need guides and tutorials so Im posting the basics and guides in the wiki thread too.
interesting...I havnt seen a mmorpg what sounds so good so im interested of seeing this o and the idea what you have about this sounds nice I hope to see it tomorrow or ina few days :3
I do have a question will there be a resource pack for a few voices with a few tweaks of the blocks/items
