Hello! Welcome to Zamorakian Fire, the server which will test your flame. Here we take a fairly simple approach: Vanilla Minecraft, add a few plugins for fun, and let people be. We have a few rules simply to ensure all can enjoy, and a quick whitelist application just so that we have a good index of who all is playing.
Plugins
World Edit (Admins)
Core Protect (Tells us if you grief)
Permissions
Factions
Essentials
McMMO
As you can see we have specifically set this up so that you can group up with other people and forge powerful bases and allies within the server. Wars are sure to break out so make sure your flanks are covered.
We feature a system called Rebirth. Every month the server world is reset - HOWEVER - every faction is given bonus starting gear and resources based on faction size, base size, overall richness, and wars fought/won. This is intended to allow new players to get in on the ground floor without already established factions immediately jumping them but to also allow pre-existing factions the ability to get back on their feet quicker and be rewarded for their continued play. In addition to this after every rebirth a faction statistic will be displayed here on the thread for the most powerful faction.
Rules
1. No killing players who have just spawned, unless they attack you first.
2. Do not attack a faction while offline. This is punished only one way: Your faction is deleted, base removed, and possessions destroyed. Do NOT do this.
3. No logging out while in combat. If you are fighting a single person and this happens to you simply screenshot the chatbox and let us know.
4. No unnecessary griefing. This one is fairly simple - if you have to break through blocks to get into a base then you can. Don't go destroy random houses people have made just because you feel like it. We will know.
Factions
If you want to ever be recognized as a real faction you have to do a couple things to help those of us running the server out. Simply PM this account (Zamorak789) with the faction name, current players in it, and the coordinates of your base. Rest assured that this information will never be given out.
Faction Advertisement
If you want to get more players in your faction (And I'm sure you do!) then having an advertisement here on the main thread is definitely one of your goals. This isn't cheap however - we simply cannot put every faction here. The advertisement has a few requirements. First, you must write a description of your faction and what you are about. Second you must put a chest within your base with a sign labeled "Payments", which must contain one diamond per player in your faction at the end of every real life day (Collected at roughly 12AM Central time).
Donations
So you want to donate to the server? That's awesome, there are bills to pay. Of course donations should be simply because you care about the server but we still are going to offer some rewards. All donations must be sent to [email protected] via paypal.
$5 - Free faction advertisement for one week.
$10 - Your choice of two weeks free faction advertisement, an enchanted diamond sword, five diamonds
$25 - One month of faction advertisement, permanent diamond armor (Will be given to you on every rebirth.)

Staff
If you want to be a member of the Zamorakian Fire staff there are a couple ways to do so. Keep in mind that we do NOT allow moderators to spawn items (They can still make factions and participate in PVP), and admins are allowed to spawn items (But not allowed to make their own factions or participate in PVP.)
We are NOT accepting moderators at the moment.
We are accepting one admin to help with permissions and plugins. To apply for this position PM me your credentials, past servers you've been in/worked on (With proof), and your knowledge with plugins.
Depends entirely on what you want, I know people use Tekkit for a lot of their stuff.
For me I don't plan on using any plugins or mods, but then I don't intend to make money either.
I'm not planning on running any mods (I've done it in the past, severely limits player base) I just want to know what people use for plugins since Bukkit is gone.
Hello all! It's been a while since I've been anywhere near Minecraft - and I could talk for ages about my disappointment in it, but that's not what this thread is for. I'm here because I wish to host a server (Mostly in the hopes of providing fun for others while generating a little income.)
Back in my day, it was simple enough. Download bukkit, essentials, world edit, and some other stuff. Didn't take long if you knew what you were doing. But I find out that Bukkit is basically gone.
My question is, what is the standard these days? What do people use to hold their plugins? More importantly, what the plugins you're expected to have these days?
Name: Keranos
Age (This counts for your years as a God. You may look any age you want though.): 314, appears 22
Appearance (Picture or in depth description):
Personality: Violent, unpredictable, easy to anger.
God of: Storms and scientific progress
Are you skilled at magic? What kinds?: Partially skilled in lightning and fire related magic.
Backstory (All Gods started as humans. Tell me how you became a God, why you were God of (insert thing here), your rank amongst the Gods, et cetera.): Born and raised in the city of Thum, Keranos was a curious child from the start. He spent much of his time conducting experiments and learning, and even excelled at school. His education soon led him to magic and he was sent to the Mages Academy in Ravnica. Keranos showed exceptional skill with lightning and fire, even scaring some of his teachers. Around the age of thirteen he found a new interest: becoming a God. It was well known how to become one, challenge the Gods and prove your worth. Keranos spent much time studying and preparing for the battle, covering himself in various runes to combat whatever God he may have fought. In the end he fought Erebos, one of the high Gods, and won his respect. Because of his intelligence and mastery over lightning and fire he was dubbed the God of Science and Storms. Upon being summoned to the Earth he was sealed quickly by mages. His seal is in the form of a beaker on his left shoulder.
Name:Erebos
Age (This counts for your years as a God. You may look any age you want though.): 1021230
Appearance (Picture or in depth description):
Personality: Calm, cold, calculated.
God of: Demons, death, forbidden/dark magic.
Are you skilled at magic? What kinds?: All forms of magic deemed "Unnatural" or "taboo"
Backstory (All Gods started as humans. Tell me how you became a God, why you were God of (insert thing here), your rank amongst the Gods, et cetera.): -Unknown-
It is the sacred scrolls of Nizuul that speak of the story which we recite. The Gods were all mighty and powerful, sitting immortal in heaven. Humanity waged it's wars and spilled blood for their Gods, fighting over which was more superior. With time however, the humans realized that the Gods were only holding them back. The Gods were a force to be tamed just like any aspect of nature. If the Gods touched the Earth, they became mortal in certain aspects. They could not be killed, however, they could be affected by magic. One at a time the various Gods were lured to the Earth and sealed into a human form. The Gods were allowed to live in peace on the Earth in their sealed forms which would contain their power to that of a normal mortal. You were once an all powerful God, now reduced to mere mortal scum.. Welcome to the Earth, enjoy your stay.
Rules
No metagaming, powermodding, et cetera. The usual.
Don't be a meanie pants.
Do not pick any powers that violate the first three rules. This means controlling other people, reading minds, et cetera. You'll be automatically denied
Useful information
The RP mostly takes place in the city of Ravnica, which is home to several guilds and powerful people. Ravnica is shaped like a hexagon, each portion being dedicated to different things. The top slice is the political section which houses politics and the law making government process. The top right is farming and food production. Bottom right is cemeteries and various services related to death (And the occasional necromancer offering their powers.) The bottom right is industrial buildings, dedicated to production of various important products to the city. The bottom houses the service industry such as entertainment, bars, inns, and so on. The bottom left is residential space where people live.
The RP takes place in a fantasy steam punk type era. There is steam power and basic items, however no fire arms or electrical lighting.
Magic is fairly common in Ravnica, but not so much world wide. The majority of people do not know how to use magic. As a God, the odds are you know some degree of magic relating to your power. You can easily fit in, however you should avoid revealing yourself as a God. People aren't too fond of the Gods anymore.
All players will have a seal. You can choose where it is though. It'll appear like a circle of symbols around something related to your element (Such as if you're the God of storms it'd be a storm cloud.)
I am a very free form GM. I have a vague plot but not a single one of my characters has "plot armor", and my plan will change. You can do whatever. Be creative! If you want to try to find a way to break your seal, go ahead, just be logical and give it time. Wage war on humans. Start a faction. Just enjoy yourself!

Backstory (All Gods started as humans. Tell me how you became a God, why you were God of (insert thing here), your rank amongst the Gods, et cetera.):
Zack analyzed his opponent, now running twords him. He was definitely a nephalem, magic being displayed already. Zack wondered for a split second how well he could use this power. Despite being one of the strongest mages currently on the planet, Zack was not a.. Well, Tezzeret style mage. He didn't study magic in it's raw forms nor could he use it with too much variation. He only landed on the circle of magi due to his overwhelming combat magic. I need to go easy.. He thought to himself, pulling his hands away from his swords. Static popped around his body, making small sparks of light. His left hand lit up with electricity as he brought it in a small swing at Rowans face. Lowest voltage I've got, should only sting a little.. Zack reassured himself.
Tezzeret smiled. "Yeah, yeah. Their battle will be interesting and all, but we have work to do. As I mentioned, this plane is filled with an infinite mana source. This means all your abilities are multiplied.. Something that'd take all your strength in our world would be easy to do here, and takes some getting used to. Don't try to use to much mana at once or you may find that it's more than you asked for. I've just got some simple things here for tests." He raised both of his hands as blue magic rushed across the ground, turning into two solid square structures with targets on them. "Destroy them with your magic." He added.
"Tezzeret, mind setting us up?" Zack asked. Tezzeret held up his hand as a massive wall of energy appeared, sparking and moving. "Allow me to explain. All mages must learn to dimension travel if they wish to ever become a member of the circle of magi. This is the one I found. Mana in his dimension is infinite - meaning that you can easily train without a limit. Although for Zacks sake I created a barrier around him and the new guy which restores the normal mana limit." Tezzeret said happily.
The wall of energy soon boxed in Zack and Rowan. "I'm ready when you are." Zack said.
((Hey guys, I'm having some family issues and that is the cause of my absence. Please be patient, I plan to be able to post regularly within a couple days. I'll try to post tomorrow.))
Tezzeret began walking twords the gate to leave the castle, he motioned for the others to follow. He put his hands to his side as blue energy started flowing from his palms and making circles around his fingers. He started to trace various symbols into the air in front of himself with the blue energy. After a few minutes, he finished a huge circle made of the energy and symbols. It became a solid blue circle and Tezzeret stepped into it, vanishing. The other side was an alternate dimension, with no obvious dimensions. Only blackness, despite the fact that it felt like there was a solid floor.
"I don't know if I'll need to use my abilities." He said, chuckling. He walked off to the arena, standing in it at the far end waiting for Rowan.
Zack greeted Callandra and Authur accordingly, before a guard had run up. "Sir, we've got.. Refuges? Yeah. First ones in a long time." Zack nodded. "Let them in. Humanity might as well try to survive. But I hope they know how much blood is spilled here." Zack said. A few minutes later the leader of these villagers appeared, asking to join the ranks. "We don't have much time today.. Recruits need to train.. You'll have to spar me, then." Zack said to himself. "If you can spar me and show me your strength, we'll see. Tezzeret, show Callandra and Aurthur to the training grounds. Niv and Elspeth, your on patrol today." Zack said. Tezzeret smiled (He loves training) while Elspeth and Niv groaned in complaint before walking off.
"Hello, Stalker. Welcome to the Zone, I assure you we will be great.. Great friends."
Server Information This server will be an extremely difficult post apocalyptic survival roleplaying game, set in the STALKER universe. We will be using a lightly modified version of Crashed Landing (Mostly excluding the quest mod) and an edited version of it's map (Much easier to just modify a huge desert into the Zone than to modify a normal world.) There will be little to no restrictions on crafting, to allow for full realism: Keep in mind that resources will be heavily controlled and it will take a lot of effort to get even minor things, since Sapplings will be one of the most valuable items.
About the Zone The Zone is a heavily irradiated area on Earth in Russia, from an alternate timeline in which the Chernobyl meltdown went much, much worse. The Zone is home to mutants, radiation, and various... Anomalies. The reason why people venture into the Zone is because the radiation created something.. It made artifacts. These artifacts can be extremely powerful, the greatest known is capable of stopping bullets entirely. These artifacts are why you are here in the Zone, and it is how you will make your fortune.
More information to come For now, I am not accepting actual applications for builders. This server is very much undergoing it's first stages and isn't even at the building point yet. If you wish to be a member of staff, you must have Skype. It is for that reason that I will allow people who want to be staff to contact me on Skype (My name is Zamorak789) and we will discuss your position and if you can have the job. This does require a mic if you want to be higher than a mod.
Uhm, yes. You may enter the castle at any time now. Unlike the others Zack wouldn't have given you a form yet, so simply come into the castle, he'll hand you it, then give it back filled out. He's very leader-ish looking so your character should be able to identify him as the authority without any prior knowledge.
Lore Time With Zamorak So if I never made it clear, this is a spiritual successor to the original version of this RP, which was hosted on another forum. It died before finishing (Although it was a good 3/4s through) for many reasons, but I believe one was that there was very little time for explaining - Thus the reason for this post. I'll be making a post explaining bits of lore in a non-spoiler fashion from time to time so that you don't feel entirely in the dark the entire time. If you have any lore related questions that I don't cover, feel free to ask.
The Reaper Despite what you may think, he is actually death - The Grim Reaper. It is not a plot point to make you question this or not, so I don't care to just tell you right out. Death is different from a God - Death itself is a law of nature, of existence. A star can die, galaxies, almost everything has a "death" of sorts. Without the Earth Death still exists, but Gods..What power would they truly have? The Reaper has the capability to kill a God one on one fairly easily, however, there are hundreds of Gods (Although only about 15-20 really powerful ones) and this fact keeps the Reaper at bay. Before this point, he had no authority - Only collect souls of people as they die, and the Gods claim Nephalem souls that have done good in order to take them to a "heaven" of sorts. The war, while seeming to take place mostly on the Earth, takes it's toll on the Gods of the high heavens as well. As can be assumed, the lords of Chaos are trying to dig their way back into the high heavens in hopes of taking it back. This conflict leaves them divided and their attention even more so. Seizing the opportunity, the Reaper is attempting to gather souls at a much faster rate, and attempting to get souls of Nephalem. The reason why is not known exactly, but souls are an immense energy, and it can be assumed it won't end well. His deals are however one hundred percent true, it just always favors himself. He can completely resurrect a family member. But the price you pay may be astronomical.
The Black Armor The Black Armor is a creature I named the "Daedra", mostly because my vision of them is similar to that of the Daedric armor in Skyrim (And a picture of this beast is actually in the banner.) The armor is enchanted to be immune to any and all physical attacks by normal weaponry. Only magic can pierce it, meaning that five to ten of them can wipe out a normal village easily. Daedra are captured souls of powerful warriors contained within the armor, which is what allows them to survive such devastating attacks. The integrity of the armor must be completely compromised before the soul is forced to finally leave.
As the sky darkened, the outside areas of the castle were soon abandoned as everyone had gone to sleep. Outside the walls screams could be heard, that of those being tortured and killed outside the walls: Those who either didn't make it inside in time, or those captured by the enemy. Night went on until eventually the sun started to rise. The sky was a beautiful shade of orange, warming the ground and outside air. A horn blew, waking everyone up to start the days work. Zack stood in the middle of the castle to make sure everyone got where they needed to be.

Daedra are captured souls of powerful warriors contained within the armor, which is what allows them to survive such devastating attacks. The integrity of the armor must be completely compromised before the soul is forced to finally leave.
