Introduction
The aim behind this server is to be a friendly server with a low amount of griefing, but that still has a focus on PvP and survival. I would like to encourage PvP when it's appropriate.
Age Requirement
I would like to limit this server to those 18 and over only. Basically, people who have a job, or school, and don't want to have their time wasted by griefers during the limited amount of play-time they have, but also want to keep that PvP survival experience
The plugins are here to maintain a moderate level of safety, while still maintaining a vanilla style survival PvP experience.
Application
If you would like to join this server, just respond with your In-game-name, your age, and why you would like to join this server. Please feel free to give me any other information you feel is relevant. Hope to see you soon.I'll PM those accepted with the server IP
Plugins
Grief Prevention, and GP Real Estate for property management.
Physical Shop, Vault, and GoldIsMoney, and ChestBank for economy.
Essentials, and a few other behind the scenes plugins like creeper protection and bacup utilties
Everyone starts off with 100 'claim blocks' (a 10x10 area, when you first place your chest). You are able to increase that area using a gold shovel and right clicking and dragging the corners out. That area is called your claim. You are allowed to make additional claims with the gold shovel. The space within your 'claim' is completely protected, and virtually indestructible to griefers or anyone else.
On our server, preventing griefing is left ENTIRELY up to our players. If you do not protect your stuff, and it gets griefed, please do not come to us. We take zero responsibility for such instances. Not having enough claim blocks is NOT an excuse. Simply limit your build to within your claim or get more claim blocks. You get more claim blocks by playing (20 more every hour you play)
You can sell or rent land to other players using this GP Real Estate plugin.
Custom Plugins Fountain of Life: return to the place you died by throwing gold nuggets into the emerald fountain. It is found in the main town of Icewick just north of the spawn ruins. You can throw gold nuggets into the fountain. Once you have thrown enough jump in and you are teleported to you death location. Any extra gold is returned to your inventory. Cost starts at 10 gold nuggets and increase 10% every time you use the fountain. Lycanthropy: Coming soon.
Rules
No cheating / hacking.
Keep the world beautiful, cut your trees down all the way.
Keep it realistic. No floating islands ships on land, etc.
No whining, throwing fits.
If someone kills you, don't complain to the admins... remember this is a PvP server.
Donations:
Right now I am paying for this server out of my own pocket. I would like to increase the size of the server. If even 8 people were able to donate $1 a month we could DOUBLE the size of the server. Donations get you 50 extra claim blocks for every dollar. All donors also receive special color coded names as well.
Shaniquajones is the IGN im 20 years old college student looking for a good mature server that is cool and always looking for fun and new things. id love a invite !
You do realize people are just going to lie about their age in order to play on this server. Also I don't like "keep PvP friendly" it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. How on earth can PvP be friendly, throw snowballs at each other? Tbh this doesn't sound like a survival server, sounds more like a creative server that wants everyone to be lovey dovey with each other or you get a perma-ban. The 18+ requirement is intriguing although mature staff is few and far between and I have a feeeling it's not promising. I'm curious, how big is spawn, are people allowed to build close to spawn, and lastly, is there any raiding involved? Thanks.
Well for starters. I have been on 18+ servers before, and they are always better than others I have been on. It's kind of just the honor system. Friendly PvP only means that is sort of roll-playing PvP that isn't just for the sake of annoying other players. You are always safe from PvP in your claimed territories, but once you venture out, it is fair game. Protect yourself or be vulnerable.
I do have a Werewolf plugin that encourages PvP between werewolves and humans, so that there will always be a good reason to kill other players at night. Its also a good way of letting everyone know that they will probably have to expect some PvP at some point, and more so at night.
It is always easy to spot non-mature players, and that is the basis behind this server. If you are not "mature" about how you play it is usually obvious.
At the moment spawn is in a medium sized town area, but It will soon be moved into the wilderness area to the north, with a medium sized protected wilderness around it, maybe 4-6 chunks. The town will be used for physical shops, the bank, and general server information, but once the spawn is relocated, it will be a little bit of a trek to get there.
I don't really like large populated spawn areas.
Edit: also I forgot to answer you about raids. The GP plugin has "siege" command which allows you to attack another player, and even destroy certain blocks in their protected area (if they are home). I know it has limitation on how often it can be used, I haven't experiment much with it, but yes, "raiding" does exist in some way.
I dont mean to post kinda off topic, but PVP can be very friendly. Do it for fun and don't get mad and rage when you die? For example if I were to say, hey Newbish epic duel to the death? and you agreed, that would be friendly.
I would also say that, even if you don't ask "permission" to attack someone, if you've done it once, and keep doing it repeatedly for no reason (ex: you know they don't really have anything worth stealing, but keep killing them just to be an a-hole) or if they have asked you to stop. That would be un-friendly.
Also another friendly way to think about it.. you killed them and took their loot, but maybe give them some of the loot back because you knew they worked hard for it... like " i know you only had the one ghast tear, and I have plenty so I'll give it back... but I'm keeping the gold." things like that, lol. I dunno, there are lots of ways to be friendly and still PvP.
Basically though, if you are not in a safe zone, you may be attacked, and attack others, just don't be a jerk about it.
Hello ejhopkins,
My name is Archie. Im 19 years old. My in game name isSapboy.
I play Minecraft quite a bit. I saw this post and clicked it straight away. As I read further on, I discovered this would be the perfect server for me.
You said: "I would like to limit this server to those 18 and over only. Basically, people who have a job, or school, and don't want to have their time wasted by griefers during the limited amount of play-time they have, but also want to keep that PvP survival experience."
I apply to all of the above. I am over 18, have a day job, and I don't want some annoying people griefing my buildings.
------------
I would also like to add that I would like to join this server because as I said above, I apply to the limitations you noted. I would also like to join because this seems like a perfect server for me, I like the plugins you have, and I would love to come in game and help out on your great-sounding server. I also just want a mature playing experience with responsible mature players.
Starting to get more users. The spawn has been moved over at the lake south of my main town. The town now has an inn to use has your home base until you are able to make your own bed.
My Reason I've always wanted maturity in servers. There have been a few that actually consisted with mature people, and other whom only said they were a mature server. I am hopeful for your server, it looks like it'll be a good'n'.
I feel like I ought to post more for an application. This feels a little weak, but I'll answer any question you've got. Also I've got an application-esque section for my 'About Me' in-case you'd also like to check that out.
Created a new Plugin just for this server! I wanted a survival experience so I disabled the "/back" command from the Essentials plugin, but it seemed that a it was a little rough on the players when they died. I wanted some way they could get there, but something that wasn't completely free or "command" related.
