Hey, what do you guys think about a mod that can reduce the amount of stacked items? I wouldn't reduce everything, just things like Gold Blocks that wouldn't make sense to lug around 64 of (Not that you'll likely be making many of those anyway.) Thoughts?
Also, maybe a mod to hide player names? (Nametags are really only used for metagaming in a roleplay server...More realistic without them.)
Time for a fan fiction.

A shovel hits the ground, parting sand.. A loud clank is heard, as the shovel hits something solid. When lifted away a solid gold object can be seen.. "No way.." Says a man wearing thin white clothes, obviously made to keep the wearer cool in the surrounding desert. The man continued to dig as fast as possible. After a few minutes a gold pillar could be seen jutting out of the ground. The man turned and walked off into the desert. It took a few hours, but he finally arrived at a series of tents. He rushed into the largest, and three men could be seen sitting in chairs. "I found something!" He yelled, full of excitement. "..Not another gold rock, right?" said the man in the middle and largest chair. "No. It's a pillar, of solid gold. There are carvings in it and everything." He said. The next five weeks several thousand workers dug out a giant temple of solid gold. The three men entered, expecting untold riches left behind by the previous rulers of our world. Upon entrance.. Their minds began to feel like they were boiling. The further they went in, the more insane they became.. When they reached the main room, there was nothing but skeletons, and a note reading "Do.. Not.. Enter.." The three never returned, and all who entered died. The building was quickly known as "cursed".. And none ever entered again.
Yeah sorry about the long build time, after Christmas we all got games and all have lives outside of the internet (Unfortunately, I frekin love the internet.) So we're behind schedule a bit, but it's still being worked on. So don't worry, we'll get it done. I probably just opened the forum a little too early :P.

Maybe a little but if you hadn't I probably would never had found this server. I can't wait for release day, it should be interesting.
Why You're Interested In The Server: I like to roleplay and play Minecraft and the only server I've been playing recently is my LAN server.
Do you know how to roleplay?: Yes!
If yes, how long have you been roleplaying?: I'm not exactly sure, 2 years maybe? I've played roleplaying games and text based rpgs and I have also roleplayed in forums before. IC
Character Name: Vance
Character Age: 48
Character Personality: When amongst his close friends, Vance is friendly, charismatic, and fond of jokes. But, when he is around strangers he tries to make their first impression of him an intimidating one, until he can decide if he likes them or not. He also uses this intimidating mood when doing business.
Character Physical Description: I'd like to know more about races first, what they are and how they look.(assuming the races and their lore thing means there will be more than one playable race.)
Character Backstory:
Vance's childhood was an average one. He had many friends and several evemies. His group and he the were antagonists in the village, he got a certain joy from hurting people, although he was always able to conceal it from his cronies. The event in his life that changed him was when the people in his village formed a militia to attack the hideout of the bandits that had recently been harrying them. When the battle took place, it was easily seen that they were outskilled, but not outnumbered. All of the people Vance considered friends died in that attack, but he earned his first taste of killing someone. He found much more pleasure in ending a person's life than simply hurting them. And there his psychotic adventure began.
He traveled to modestly sized towns and would start a farm or found an inn, something to get to know the people in the town. He would wait long enough until he was a trusted member in the community. And then the weekly killings would begin. Vance would go at night and slit people's throats for the euphoria it gave him. As he grew older, the joy went out of the murders, but he was still an evil man. He finally found a spot to settle down and found a permanent inn called The Tired Devil. The establishment is known to hide outlaws and to house illegal dealings, but whenever a guard goes to investigate, he is gone the next morning. Vance is still known to perform assassinations for the right price.
Why You're Interested In The Server: I like RPing even though I am not so experienced at it, I liked the server's lore as well, I believe this server may be good!
Do you know how to roleplay? (Say so if you don't!): I have only some experience, but I think I know the basics.
If yes, how long have you been roleplaying? (And, optional, on what games?): Three or four months, maybe...

Character Name: Knolle Sieben Kartoffel
Character Age: 25
Character Personality: Quiet and shy around people whom he is new to, but loud around his friends. He is good natured and helps whom he can help, from hungry peasants to lost merchants, expecting nothing in return. His biggest constraint is perhaps his inability to remain too long in a given task.
Character Physical Description (Preferably your minecraft skin, describe if needed): Wears the simple clothes of a woodsman, nothing too fancy.
Character Backstory(The more detailed the better, but I'll ask for quality over quantity. Make it interesting first, long afterwards. 2-3 paragraphs of decent length will do fine.):
Knolle Sieben was the elder son of two, his father was a travelling merchant and shop-owner which employed her mother and him. He was raised in a town located between one of the most active trade routes of the area, which caused many different kinds of people to go through town.
His father was driven by greed and was uncaring of his children, whom always hoped to make him proud, working hard for him, but their attempts were unsuccessful. As Knolle grew, he realized his father would not change his ways, and soon enlisted in one of the caravans that traveled the route his hometown was located in, that way he could still see his mother and brother.
In his travels he saw many people in need of help and he also saw how heartless people can be to others whom are "inferior" in hierarchy. He committed himself to help people at any chance he has.
After couple of months of travel, the caravan was nearing his hometown once again, Knolle always got excited about seeing his family once again, but as he spotted the town in the horizon, he realized something horrendous had happened, bandits had raided the town, not too long ago, it seemed, as smoke still came from it's ruins. As he got even closer to the town, he realized there was nothing to be salvaged, this could not be done by bandits, it must have been done by a war party of enemy nations. Devastated by this life-changing event, Knolle deserted the caravan and set out on his own with nothing more than tools, hoping to find ease of mind accompanied by no one but nature.
Why You're Interested In The Server: I discovered minecraft roleplay about a month ago, and I love it!
Do you know how to roleplay? (Say so if you don't!): I'm not an expert, but I think I'm pretty good.

Character Name: Sonaven Martin
Character Age: 24
Character Personality: Sonaven is quickwitted, sarcastic, and slightly unstable. He is a schizophrenic, so hears voices in his head that sometimes make him do some unreasonable things. However, if you can get the trust of him, he will do anything that you ask him to do.
Character Physical Description (Preferably your minecraft skin, describe if needed): Black hair,has a grey shirt with a light brown overcoat. He has light blue eyes and has a knife in a satchel on his back.
Character Backstory: Sonaven grew up in a small town where almost nothing went wrong. Everybody did their job, nobody was hungry, and they were all happy. Sonaven, however, wanted adventure. When he was 14 he wandered into the woods to find something interesting. However, Sonaven got lost. He wandered some more until he saw a giant house. Hoping that that the owner of the house would be kind enough to let him stay the night, he ran up to the door and knocked. However, As soo as the door opened, he was hit in the head and dragged off.
Apparently Sonaven had knocked on the door of a slave dealer, and he was soon dealt of to the owner of a plantation. However, at about 17, Sonaven started hearing voices(schizophrenia, but it was not discovered back then). At first he was terrified, but learned to deal with him. However, on one fateful day, the voices told him to do 1 thing. "Escape." That night, Sonaven broke a window, jumped out of the second floor and broke his leg in the process. Sonaven still limped on, and then finally go to the gate.He kicked it open with his good leg and walked out of the plantation.
Sonaven built a house and survived in the wilderness until he was 24, still dealing with the voices. Then Sonaven realized that he need to get out again, and so he did. Armed with a handy knife and some supplies, Sonaven headed out...
I'll post some screenshots when we build things that are less...Story-related. We just built a very large and important Genero ruin, and screenshots of that would be bad until it's found in roleplay.
Anyway, for the applications:
Accepted
Fullwit, your grammar was odd in some places, and although I don't actually like your character the personality and backstory were both well written. For the description, we aren't making things like orcs, or ANY race that will force you to change your appearance, you look human. Also, that inn you spoke of likely won't actually exist.
iivvaann, everything was well written and I enjoyed reading the story.
But I have to ask..Are you aware that your character name in german means 'Bulb seven potato'?
Deferred
Nyphe, me and my admin friends are not comfortable with someone having a schizophrenic character, and it's not because he's schizophrenic. It's because in our experience in roleplay (And even in Dungeons and Dragons,) whenever somebody makes a schizophrenic character, it's to have the excuse that you can do anything and try to not get in trouble. Insane characters are usually played very badly, and judging by your backstory, this one would be. Sorry, but I'd like you to rethink your character.
Thorian, when you say you don't like my character, do you mean you personally just don't like that kind of character or it is a bad one? If it is the latter, do you have any pointers to make it better?
As for my description, this is the skin I made for it.

Update: We've kicked it into overdrive and we're almost finished the second capital city (We only started working on it two or three hours ago) And it's meant to be small and run-downish according to the story that I'll be updating sometime soon. So we have one more capital city, some ruins and story events. Once the capital cities are done, the server is 'roleplay worthy', but I'd rather not open it until completed 100%.
Why You're Interested In The Server: I love roleplay servers and haven't been able to find a good one recently, This one looks promising.
Do you know how to roleplay? (Say so if you don't!): Yes.
If yes, how long have you been roleplaying? (And, optional, on what games?): I've been roleplaying for a year at most, Mainly in minecraft servers.

Character Name: Achtal (Ack-Tall)
Character Age: 28
Character Personality: Not one to expose himself to strangers but becomes more social as he becomes more familiar with the person.
Character Physical Description (Preferably your minecraft skin, describe if needed):Of average height Achtal hides most of his body underneath his (Surprisingly) well kept coat.
Character Back-story: Achtal grew up in a backwoods town that might be described as 'Boring', With nothing of note happening ever, and Achtal himself wasn't too interesting he had only one skill. Achtal didn't even consider his 'skill' very useful, from an early age he could move things about a foot ( At a crippled snails pace) from where they currently sat. From the age of 14 Achtal had been practising and practising for days on end when he finally 'mastered' his 'skill', That is to say he could push things slightly faster away from himself, when almost immediately he pushed over a vase in his house playing with his newly mastered skill and his mother tripped on it and fell to the ground, she had broken her neck and died three minutes later.
Three years after ,at 17, everyone else thought it a tragic accident, all the while Achtal suffered with the truth, and his father took to the bottle. Achtal's siblings (one brother and sister of 23 and 26) had to take care of Achtal and keep their father from drinking himself to death. Not using his skill since that day Achtal had wondered if with age came power. He set about trying his skills once more. Still holding the ability to push small objects of light weight around Achtal tried something different, He focused all the anger he felt into his fingertips, and subsequently gave himself second degree burns along his right arm. Upon further investigating he could project his anger further away from his hand and could create a fire of equal size of a flint's spark a few inches from his hand. Achtal had learned from his previous failures and knew that to practise his skills safely he must distance himself from anyone he might kill. his eighteenth birthday had brought tragedy. His father had ended his own life, seeking to rest with his departed wife. Achtal's brother moved out, stricken with grief, and his sister was trying to console him. But Achtal thought "I am the problem", "I've done this" and nothing could take those thought from his mind.
Achtal had grown to be a man, At 23 he had decided to move from his home-town. His travels left his mind deep in thought, and his body sore from constant training. While magic was not a physical task it drew upon his strength deeply. He could now send forth a ball of fire, as if a torch had been thrown, about the size of a child's fist and performing this wore on his body and gloves. At 25 Achtal had purchased a nice coat from a travelling merchant with what scant coins he had. He had travelled for years honing his skill but could not find another who could help him become more powerful. Achtal's fruitless searches left him with the thoughts "At my best I can't even stop a bandit child with my skills", A scar on his cheek reminded him,"My sword-work is next to that of a leprous donkey!, What good can my meagre skills do for me?" he pondered what he could do. "Maybe if I walk just a bit more I can find new home" he thought as he crested the hillside.
Warhawkz5, you're accepted. Your backstory is very well written and I was interested while reading it. I'll give you a tip that while magic is weak, it's not TOO Weak. Your fireballs aren't tiny, probably a bit larger than a torch's fire, and you're allowed to at least shoot a couple in battle as long as you've trained with magic and know how to pace yourself.
Also, maybe a mod to hide player names? (Nametags are really only used for metagaming in a roleplay server...More realistic without them.)

And I planned on making the inn myself.
Personally don't like him, he seems super evil
