Name of proposed server: The Hydrion

How much RAM you want: We will need 8GB+ at the time of release, however we only need a 4GB server right now, for us to work on. We will ask for an upgrade once we have a server finished, and will need more servers inthe future, as we are trying to achieve a full network, not just one server.

How many player slots: At least 150

Describe your server idea: Our idea is to create a new, original server experience. We want to create unique
gamemodes that are fun and new for the Minecraft community. Our current plan is to start off with a Factions server. Now I know that you’re probably thinking “Oh, another dumb factions server,” but we plan to make this server brand new and original in every way. We have many ideas, ranging from custom items, to custom terrain and bosses. However, we can not execute these ideas without a server. That’s where you come in, helping us in our journey to rise to the top.

Why you want this server: I would rather not say that we want this server, but that we need it. We have many ideas for our server, and need a server to host them on. Without it, we can’t go anywhere, which is whywe need som,eone to provide us with servers.

On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you want the server?: I would say about a 9.

Proposed Plugins: The ideas we came up with are in a Google document. A quick link can be found below.

How do you plan to generate money?: We plan to generate money through donations, and are planning other ways to generate profit. We will follow the EULA, however we are planning special perks that will incite players to donate. We plan to give 100% of the profit back to the server, until we have reached a point where we are comfortable with the current earnings and take 20% for ourselves. At that point in time, we also plan to give back to the sponsor for providing us with the servers.

Do you already have a community? If so, how many active players? If not, how will you be getting players?: We do not currently have a community. We already have advertising that can be executed on the spot, however we need a server at first. We also plan to have voting links, as well as having a dedicated team for server trailers and such.

What makes your server special? Why should I join your server instead of that other server?: What make our server special is that we have dedicated staff and unique ideas for our server. Our current staff has been working day to day to get this server up and running. We also have many ideas for a variety of gamemodes, such as Factions, KitPvP, and more.

Is there a reason why you can't pay for this server?: We cannot pay for the server because we do not currently have any funds or source of income. We are currently waiting for donations to come in, and once we have funds we will pay for website hosting, if not provided by the sponsor. We probably could raise money to spend on hosting,but that would take months and would be expensive, and we want to be efficient with our time.

What is your preferred method of contact? Skype? PM?: All of our staff prefer Skype, however we are very active on these forums and don’t mind doing private messages. If you would like to contact me, my Skype name is pr3castdragon.

What you will do for the company in return: In return for providing us with server(s), we will provide advertising at the top of our website and providing in-game announcements, every hour to our players. Our youtube team will also have advertisements at the beginning of our server trailers. We will also have our coordinators come up with events to promote the sponsor, exposing them to as many of our players as we can.
