Not sure where to place this, because I do plan to start this server up fairly quickly here. I've already thought about it for a month. But I'd prefer not to do it alone, but rather with incorporating all your great ideas into what you'd like in a great server. I'm looking for more of a togetherness atmosphere, where we're all looking out for each other and helping to build with each other. I don't plan on tolerating griefing, or stealing, or hacking, or any kind of cheating, and the way I'm going to do this is fairly simple - I'll limit the size of the community and everyone needs to chip in a few cents a day towards the server maintenance.
I've used a lot of servers now, and there was only one I really liked (which was Nannerland, hosted by my friend SinfulBanana). But even that great server is overloaded with players now and crashed at the moment. It was heavily griefed yesterday and lagging quite a lot the day before. I know of other servers running stably, but they're flooded with players, and all the building's already been done. Plus, some have crazy rules and complicated questionaires, and I would rather keep things simple.
So I want to hear from you guys, what do you think makes an awesome server? What are your favourite parts of your current server, that I should try to get on ours? What should we avoid doing wrong? What is the best way to start building on a new server for the best outcome? What do you think is a good total player cap for our community (needs to be at least 30)? And do you think it's fair to expect $10/yr - that's for a whole year - of playing on an awesome server with virtually no griefers, lag, or downtime?
And yeah because this is so close to starting up I put it in the servers section (after reading the rules - there's nothing about this) and so I hope this is the right place.

I would love to help you start/create a server. I think I can help you, what with the many servers I've visited. Obviously, the first thing that a server needs is Moderators. After you get the base of the server going(members, a couple of buildings, etc.) you can start to add some things like: Hey0 plugins, events, PVP, among many other things. If you would like me to go more in depth, or would like any follow-up, PM me.
Awesome. I'll send you a PM. If anyone else has any ideas or also wants to help out, then just let me know.
We only need a few people to get this server started up, and honestly my favourite time on Nannerland was the first 24 hours when we were just laying things out. You join later, you miss out on the back-story.
I also need a really good name for a server, so if you have any ideas let me know. I want something original :smile.gif:.
i would help but cannot send you money since I do not have a credit card or an open paypal account :/ maybe soon because i have a spare 20$ waiting on a paypal account i cannot use lol.
Yeah I don't want you to worry. Once the server's set up and ready to go, I can help you get this working. We can figure something out. Or if not, I don't mind paying for your portion for now. We could work some other deal out, like you have to build and maintain all the entire road network of the server. (That's my job on Nannerland.)
Right now I need your super ideas and names, and errors other servers made to avoid, and any other insights you can give to me to help me out making this the best server possible. I know you've all played servers before, so what did you like, what did you hate, etc...?
I just want the best server possible guys, and I know I'm not the only one frustrated with griefers, theives, lag, and downtime. I think I've lost a few weeks of my life to those already, rebuilding things and waiting impatiently, and I've not really been playing a year even.
And please, can people think of a cool name for the server. :smile.gif:
