*There is now a small test server up for those who would like to discuss ideas and just play minecraft. PM me if you would like to join.*
Hello all,
Welcome to The Wheel of Ages! We are looking for staff and ideas at the moment. I hope to collect these two things rather quickly so I can get the main server started up! We have a few things that we agreed upon, and you will see those plugins in the title. I put a broad range for the slots since I want to see how much interest there is before purchasing so I dont get a top of the line server if there isnt going to be a whole lot of people from the start. We are considering much more, so read below and let me know what you think of them!
So, basically this is what im looking to do:
Collect ideas on what the overall 'theme' should be.
Collect applications for Moderator positions. Acquire a web designer who can develop a website for the server (Which of course I will pay for the domain and hosting). This is very important!
'Tech Support'. Like I said, it has been a while, and ill need some help getting back on my feet with the latest developments. For example, is bukkit still relevant? Things like that.
Server Host recommendations would be MUCH appreciated! I want to get the best host possible, and ive spent some time doing my research, but hearing it from users is much preferred!
Also, I will not be posting a generic application. This makes it too easy and this way reveals much more about the applicants character. However, I am looking for things such as: Experience, Age, playing minecraft since ?, IGN, and even location. You may include any information you find significant. It would also be great if I could get everyone to create an account (maybe steam, msn, something we can decide on) on whatever service so we can have staff discussions in a group.
Me and Dosking spent some time collecting ideas, and I made a list of points, so here they are:
Progressive tech
Application For civilizations
Elections?
Factions
mcmmo
movecraft
Armageddon
Permissions
BigBrother
Craftbook
What we are looking to do is essentially have advanced tech from plugins, but that can only be accomplished with high quality materials. This would allow advanced factions to distinguish themselves above new ones, and truly develop instead of having the same old stuff. Thus, it is like factions are progressing through the 'Wheel'.We want to have an application process for different factions or 'civilizations' so that way there will always be the potential for a new element to be added.
So let me know what you guys think, and throw whatever ideas you have out there!
An idea for what to make the server about would be a nice little spawn area, not too big and hax-looking (it draws some people away) and then outside of the spawn area would be pvp, factions, and raiding. Factions would allow people to get into groups. Walls around the spawn would be a no-no, I hate that lol. All the pvp/raiding servers that I go to either have chest protection plugins (why would you put that on a raiding server?) or huge cities at spawn that are protected... so yeah, consider this idea, and remember, factions plugin is awesome!
BTW, I may apply to be a Moderator :biggrin.gif:
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I bet I can make you read this signature. Yeah, I win.

Thanks for the idea!
However, what I meant is an actual theme. Its one thing to say 'This server has factions and raiding!', and another to give it a theme, if you can understand what I am trying to say. People want a 'purpose', not just factions.
And while I agree this kind of server is fun, it wouldnt get very big in my opinion. People stick to servers where at least some of their work will be preserved and have they have at least some security. I want a server that people will come back to. BUT, if you would like to work this idea into something that is more developed, please share!
My IGN is jmt2002
im 12 (ill be turned away for sure)
Im mature
I can deal with problems
My name is Jessica
Im female.
Ive played for about 7 months now :S
Any other questions are much apperciated.
I don't exactly know what you want for a mod. app, but....:
I've been OP on a 3 servers, Mod on 2, and Administered my own server.
I have quite the knowledge in setting up servers, experience with bukkit and zmod (I do like zmod quite a bit more), and I've been playing for about a year now.
Just a note, I will review all applications and personally reply with a PM, not here. Also, I may not reply to every suggestion, but I WILL read all of them!
I think something like this (Tron) or steampunk or something less run of the mill will create an environment players will stick with and enjoy playing.
My ideal core game elements:
Survival with town building,
no pvp in most areas or rp only pvp.
I like rp, but i think light rp is a better alternative.

Interesting concept. I'd like to see this idea develop a little more
I have the same ideals though, but maybe with more pvp. Maybe faction based town building. Its been a while since ive looked at plugins, but towny + factions could create an ideal situation. However, I dont know how factions work, so ill have to look more into that.
Hey after reading through your post, i was hoping to apply as a moderator i have been playing minecraft since the alpha no idea of an exact date. i have experience moderating as i have run my own server i am very farmiliar with commands and other server related situation, i can handle things calmly and respectfully. i am 19 and live in manitoba canada, i love minecraft and i enjoy helping others. i strongly believe i would be a great addition to your staff.
Idea: make a clan base server use the permissions plug-in (world gaurd i think not sure) thing give clans a 100x100 area requires a minimum of 3 members 5 days chest protection to build a base/vault, with clan events for rewards like clan battles for a specail building in spawn. Use iconomy and mcmmo have auctions for plots in spawn to own a shop where u can only sell and not store items and mcmmo to give the server a good survival feeling. and set a limit of like a 4000x4000 map. And now type of lwc or lockette plug-in for normal users
if you like the idea i could go into more detail through Pm's team speak/vent.
and redstone hosting i hear is helpful with plug-ins and great support.
Just so everyone knows, I have ordered a small 10 player server to experiment/collaborate/do whatever in while the main server is waiting to be brought up. I wont be posting the IP, but I will give it to accepted mods and maybe interested players. Ill update you once its up!
This seems very interesting, and I would like to be a part of this server as it starts up. I am thinking of applying for the position of moderator as I am on frequently, and I also am quite good at enforcing rules and such. I am going to P.M you to see if I could play on your server right now, as I have nothing better to do at the moment. My in game name is Jaredino and I hope to play on your server soon

Regardless, this will not be a creative server.
Creative sucks, agreed.
After work today I will be back here some more and hopefully get the ball rolling a little bit. See you in a while!

We got some great stuff planned out. This will be a server of extreme proportions!
We'd still like ideas to come in though, come and help us out!
