My name is Demimoto(Demi for short) and I'm about to spend way too long writing this post! Please be patient and give it a read!
The problem?: It can be intimidating and make you feel left out if you join an existing server with players already having a hub, town, shops, farms, bases, and friendships already established. You don't have a connection with any players, and you don't have a connection with any public builds or spaces.
The solution?: After a lot of discussion we all agreed that more players would make this amazing server even more amazing. We don't have quite as many players as we want just yet! In order for you to understand this plan (codename: Phase Two) you have to know what has happened since we started about a month ago!
First day of our discord channel we had almost 20 people join, which was the original plan for the players in the server! Right away, we had a very full discord call with lots of amazing discussion about the plans for the server. We had talked for the entire night and the server hadn't even been set up yet! We had all these cool ideas that we discussed and decided on or against as a group, and we had plans to start the server as an event two days later. We kept chatting and getting to know eachother for those two days and when the time came, we had almost everyone on right at launch! We all worked together to build some infrastructure in our spawn island! Some people were building roads, and docks. Some people started mining and gather materials for the builders, and some people started getting food and other random stuff to help out! It was a blast and a great bonding experience. About a week later, people had some bases built and more stuff done in town. We had another event to all slay the end dragon together! (We chose to wait a week to preserve the new player experience.) Over 15 people were available for that fight and just as before, was amazing! Its been about a month since we started now, and people have some huge bases started, massive holes and perimiters built ready to build bases in, lots of auto farms, and tons of materials! Some people are taking their time and have some small stuff set up, but are still active.
The point of all of this is that we want to be able to have a good time with the stuff we have, but for new players to be able to have the new player experience, and also integrate and feel a part of the group as a whole!
Our plan for the new group? PHASE TWO! You guys will join the discord group we have set up so we can plan some fun stuff together! Any new players that join will start as a group along with any other of the players on the server currently, but temporarily leaving their stuff behind to start fresh for a bit! The idea is that we will have a new area kind of far from our spawn that we will set as the new spawn. It will be a bit far on foot, but not too far for a nether highway later on! We can have a fun group build or projects or events together as a group, and build some bases or other things nearby the new spawn, kind of like another town. Once the new players are situated and on their feet, we will get connected up and do some projects in our original spawn town or other places as an even bigger group and try and get ALL players on the same page! Existing players can help new players build bases, or set up some farms, or get resources, etc.
Some details about the server:
-Mostly semi-vanilla data packs to keep the vanilla feel, but add some nice quality of life changes. (List below)
-Pvp is optional and only for players who are interested!-We try and have events and minigames often!
-We have a shopping district similar to Hermitcraft (State the price[diamonds or whatever you want] and shoppers will swap currency for your goods.) this is purely a trust based system. It is mainly for the social aspect of trading and helping people get the materials they need to make cool stuff! You buy plots of land by paying in diamonds. It's for a town pot that we will use for minigame rewards and such. Just for fun!
-Farms and automation are welcome!
-The main focus is building a good social atmosphere, and making friends!
-Use polls or group discussions to decide server stuff like maybe a new data pack or next event, etc.
-The server ran great before, but we swapped from hosting on one of our own PC's, to a hosted server that is much faster! 8gbs currently, would upgrade if needed!
-There are no costs or stupid member rewards or perk systems or anything like that. There never will be. We got it.
-There are no teams or factions, but we could split up into teams for minigames or anything else, of course.
Some details about PHASE TWO (That is you)-Phase Two players will be all meeting together in a discord server to get to know eachother, and come up with some cool new projects.-I also want to discuss with you what your thoughts are on ways to get integrated with the existing players!-We are going to adventure out like 5000 or so blocks in the overworld(this number is just an estimate, could be more or less, we will discuss it all together!) Phase Two players will have the oppourtunity to play as a group and go through the early game of minecraft together still, and build up at a similar pace.-Some of us existing players would like to bench all of our bases/items/equipment/builds and 'start fresh' with you guys! Once you guys have a footing and some resources established we would go back to our other stuff. This will maybe let plenty of players hang out and build and explore a new area together!-At some point after you guys are established we will have some cool event in town (main idea is to blow up one of our early builds, and make something new! It is currently a fairgrounds we made early on in a cool location in the center of our town.)-Then, hopefully we all will be aquainted with eachother and thriving in the server together as one big group! Friends, yeah!
What do I need from you?-We are ages 18+, sorry, kids. Most of us are 18-24 with a few outliers. We want a mature atmosphere.
-The patience to have read this far in the post. Thanks! I hate writing these things.
-Having a social experience as one of your main goals here! At the end of the day, we all just want to play block game with friends.
-Wanting to get better at the game in some way. Not the best builder? Dont sweat it! Ask for help, or strive to get better on your own! Not great with redstone? Nobody is! Watch tutorials and ask for help! Etc.
-Be willing to wait until we get a small group together for Phase Two to all start at the same time! This would probably be just a couple days. This is very important, because starting as a group will help build a sense of community!
-Be willing to discuss ideas and concerns with the group or with someone privately.
Join the Phase Two discord server! Come hang and chat and we will figure out a start time! https://discord.gg/hpHcPUHrDx
