Well Galatic in the answer to your question he's more of a creative type and not a big PvPer and he just likes regular vanilla survival. Also once I persuaded him to play a prison server and he was doing really well but then somebody killed him and he had been mining for an hour and he lost about like 10k dollars in resources which is a lot for someone just starting out and he raged ad nevers plays on them again. Also to your answer with the emeralds I don't know if this is possible but say if u right clicked a bookcase with one u get a enchanted book or if u just right click regularly u get levels or u could do what u said either one I dont care
it seems that alot of people eaither hate PVP or love it, and from my experiance in order to like PVP you have to have gotten over some kind of hurtle first. For prison servers, if you die to early, it's easier to quit because you most likely barely got into the gameplay of the server and haven't had the chance to accomplished anything.
I was reading an article on why some MMOs are so addicting and one of the reasons is that they make it easier for new players to rank up giving them this sense of accomplishment. without that, players have no need to continue when they fail. Now in no way is Deadman an MMO, but some of the same strategies can be applied.
I'm not sure but maybe if we somehow made it slightly easier for new members to get a bit of money or mine resources without fear of dieing would give them a chance to enjoy the game before the difficulty increases. What do you guys think we could do?

I'm sure it's possible but it wouldn't be intuitive which is a problem. But with the new update coming out, we could have an intuitive vanilla solution for a feature like that. Such as putting an emerald into a chest and it registers a command with a command block
btw does anyone know when the new update comes out? I really want to start adding quarts blocks to the server

One of the main things that bothers me when playing a prison server is when the excessive PvP makes it difficult to accomplish anything. I understand PvP should be incorporated but when it comes to a point where you can't simply make it to the mine without getting killed time after time... Well it really ruins the fun of the server. There should be safe ways of transportation or maybe it could be a donation perk of some sort. Some form of PvP protection.
Also it especially bothers me when there is a lack of guards in places around the server. Sometimes I find there are never ANY guards and that also ruins the fun. You don't want too many guards around though to a point where it would be impossible to kill anyone. Something to think about.

Just some suggestions. :3 ~gamerchick33
well gamerchick, you have stricken some good conversation between Muffin and I
We think that having PVP protection (for a price) is a good idea and we have brainstormed ideas of how it would work. We think that if a player wants to be protected in the prison, they could purchase lifetime prison PVP protection from our donation shop and they would get it in the form of chain mail. If they wear the chain mail they are protected completely but they cannot attack anyone else. The protection would only go as far as the prison grounds and be disabled in arenas and such. We had the idea of giving them chain mail because we wont other players to be able to identify the players which they would be unable to attack.
PVP is a very important aspect to prison servers, so we want to make sure that we do not nerf it too much or make it too overpowered. We need your help in deciding if you like this idea, and how much money do you think players would have to donate for this protection. Feel free to share your ideas!
I think chain mail protection is a great idea! As to what it would cost... Well obviously you don't want to make it too inexpensive whereas everyone would be running around in full protection. Also though if it's too costly then not many players would purchase it at all. Would it be like a monthly thing? Or just a one time payment? You could always just set the price high and if nobody seems to want to buy it then lower it until you see fit.

this is a great idea! i don't think that there should be chain armour though. i think that as well as normal prison blocks, there should be a special one where PvP is disabled (which you get ACCESS to from donating, not be required), or possibly acces to a /warp command. that way people can PvP if they want to at the time. also programming a plugin to allow chain armour which gives you invulnerability and inability to attack except in special areas would be EXTREMELY difficult, and you don't deserve the pain of having to make one.

Most of all the other prison servers have a voter block that pretty much does what you suggested. We had considered making a voter block in the beginning but we decided not to because we wanted to do something different than what everyone else was doing. This server is about innovating on the prison server genre and providing an entirely different experience for both new and veteran players of the genre. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that our solution of having armor that protects you from PVP is the best solution either. I think if we discuss it further we can come up with something much more fitting and unique -_^
Also, based on the quality level of the builds we are incorporating in the server, programming a plugin for non-PVP armor would actually be easier than to have to build 4 more voting ranks in the server. And weasel has programmed plugins that are MUCH harder to do than non-PVP armor would be. He's a genius.

lol ok, well since you replied on our topic you will be able to attend the beta! -_^
There is one less thing you will have to wait for, because we have just went over all 60 of the staff applications that we have received from you guys! We read them carefully and discussed them thoroughly, and we have come to agree on Deadman Dungeons first staff team! We know that things have been taking a while, and we apologize, but trust us; it is for a good reason. Deadman Dungeons is not by any means, your average server, and we are spending the time and effort in guaranteeing this. But along with this announcement of the accepted Staff applications, there is another thing you can be happy about, and that is the BETA opening! We are confirming the BETA to be within the next 2 weeks! So there is the latest news, and here are the accepted Staff applicants! (We have also PMed all of the accepted applicants and the OP has been updated with this post)

I guess you're right with the fact that most other servers have the prison block, and I guess i'll just have to trust you on the "weasel is a genius" thing
Well we couldn't do a server entirely based off of Deadman Wonderland because that would violate a copyright infringement, but I'm sure if you liked Deadman Wonderland, you would like this server for sure -_^

Heh well I did ask him about it later and he said it wouldn't be easy, but he has already made custom plugins for this server that are far more complex. I guess that means he would be up to do it if everyone felt like it was a good idea.
wow thank you so much i cannot wait to work with all of you and i cannot wait until the beta release and the rules meeting with all of your guys help i think we can rival and become better than any prison server that was, is, or shall be so let us do this brothers and sisters of minecraft let us build a prison that will be known through out the land from sea to sea. Let us make sure that songs will be sung and tales will be told that we of deadman dungeons are the best prison server EVEEEERRRRR
P.S. thx galatic and weasel for your selection I wont let you down

All up to you, my friend. Since currently the server is still in production, you have plenty of time to decide.
