Starting a new survival world, where there will be two sides. One may choose to be a destroyer; burn the forests, slay & loot the villagers (if any), cause total mayhem. To oppose them will be the protectors, who will put out the fires, plant new forests, protect the villagers, all that stuff. Each side is encouraged to fight the other!
This is is legit survival so you will have to craft your own everything.
The only rules are if you have mic, do NOT be annoying! I will kick for that & I don't have a mic. This isn't the server to horde gold & diamonds, or build fancy works of art. Saplings, flints & buckets are all pretty cheap so after dying shouldn't take too long to get back on your feet.
Other rule is do not stalk around the spawn point to slay the newcomers or respawned players.
Difficulty will be on Hard.
Sides are not set. I'll probably be a protector myself at least to begin, but may change if I think it's needed. Anyone can change sides at any time, so be careful who you trust.
I think that's all. Add my PSN Arvensis27972 and friends of friends is enabled.
Had to reformat my PS3 a few months ago so my favorite worlds are gone, but I do have a creative project to show & a few buildings in my survival world that I'm proud of.
Hey all, just seeking opinions on the matter, as I've seen different community servers and have seen great variation in what they use for money. Which do you think is the best?
For a server I ran before, I liked to use iron ingots. It's not too rare nor too common so newcomers can mine some fairly quickly, it's not easily renewable so needn't worry about inflation. It's useful in itself for tools & armor, though gives the drawback that you end up consuming your savings to craft those very things.
The host of a server has the ability to turn off gamer tags & the positions of others on the map. It's somewhere in "option" and "settings" if I remember right.
Otherwise in PvP with that setting on, I check the map frequently to see if anybody is nearby. If so, I leave my base thru a tunnel or go thru caves; lying in wait if necessary if it seems like they're actively going for me. If still in my base, I knock out any torches in the base so it's dark when they dig thru, staying in sneak mode. That way they may not see me fast enough to land the first blow. If I have to retreat, fire works great.
I just added an archery range to mine. Also have a bank w/ a redstone security system with alarm, to keep people's valuables safe against any greifers that I'm unable to stop in time. Have a few shops around, right now I've got a Potions shop & I'm running someone else's Wool shop in their place. Can add me if you want a tour, maybe get some ideas.
Apologies again for long lull since last update, but we're back!
The Bank ran over-schedule and over-budget, but it's complete enough right now to be functional and ready to do business! Bank instructions are posted outside; very important that you do not attempt to enter the bank yourself! It is protected by a security system/alarm, so our citizens can rest assured that their belongings are safe in the vault. Special thanks to Kevin_Eusta*** for helping me construct it; he is also authorized to act in my stead as a banker. All procedures are described in the OP. In the near future, I hope to be able to issue out loans from the bank for use by established citizens also.
Villager population has been exploded in the center village section of the community, so plenty of trade opportunities are now available.
Next goal will be the slaying of the Wither! I have one Wither Skull already, but am placing a bounty of 20 iron for each of the next 2 required skulls that anybody else happens to collect!
I've put at least 4 properties that appear to have been long since abandoned, for sale. Prices are posted on the buildings, all in iron ingots. Pay the amount to me and the property is yours to do as you please! All profits will be put into the bank's loan fund.
That's all I can think of right now for updates, but hopefully will have more news to report sooner than later!
That's all I can think of for right now. Hopefully won't be so long between updates.
Couldn't be on tonight, wasn't feeling very well, and will have the server set to invite-only to keep activity limited currently to regular, trusted citizens. Reason being, big construction project is underway that the inner workings of require a good amount of secrecy.
What is it that could be so important? Glad you asked!
We are working toward building our community a Bank! As regrettably, not every episode of theft has been able to be prevented or reversed, it's become crucial for our citizens to have a safe and secure vault in order to stash their more valuable possessions into, and myself and a builder whose talent has already served the community well, have been at work creatively designing and constructing a means to do this.
As it stands right now, opening a basic account will probably cost around 5 iron for a single chest, 9 for a double-chest, and for a 15-iron premium account, you will get a double-chest, and also be given an Ender Chest to place in your home. This way you can send me a message to arrange for me to collect your deposit or withdraw to/from your chest in the vault, with the convenience of not needing to make the trip to the bank itself! Particularly useful if you go far away to do some mining and want to stash some ore and other treasures directly to the bank, rather than hauling it all home to smelt it or whatever. Prices for the accounts may be subject to change once we finally open, but it's a one-time payment.
For everyone else, customers will be met in the lobby by myself, where you will need to remove all of your armor before being allowed to proceed, and then you'll be escorted down to the vault and shown to your chest.
More details will be posted on the OP once the bank has opened in a few days. New Friend requests will also be approved at that time.
In other news, imminent domain has been used on one abandoned property in order to make this project possible. At least 3 other properties are slated to be put up for sale shortly.
I'm thinking of bringing a return to the Jobs board as well, it was a surprisingly popular feature that was sacrificed when I was blaming sign proliferation as a cause for server crashes. Not so sure that was the cuplrit now and sign usage has exploded anyway.
Speaking of jobs, I have hired someone to help out at my shop, The Hot Hut, so don't assume the fellow whose name is roughly game_boy is trespassing if spotted in there.
Hey all! Gonna try to update at least once a week.
First, glad to announce that our intrepid builder Kevin-Eustatia has turned one of our in-town skeleton spawners into a rather efficient XP, Bone, Arrow and Armor farm! It happens to be nearby the Anvil and Enchantment Table, and I've certainly made good use of it!
Second, the Ender Dragon has been slain! Unfortunately it was a solo venture, but at last the task is complete, and The End is now free for those who need end stone, large amounts of obsidian, or ender pearls.
My more harsh policing of problematic people has apparently been effective, so I'll be maintaining that strict approach likely from now on.
Shortly, I will be needing some skilled builders and redstone engineers to help me with a very grand construction project, something that the town may desperately need. I'll probably publicly announce what that is on my next update; still have a good deal of planning to put into it as far as a rough design goes. Miners will certainly be needed before then to obtain necessary materials.
Finally, I'm formulating a policy to put on the first post regarding abandoned houses; complete or incomplete. As this server is nearly 2 months old, we are beginning to accumulate some houses that simply haven't been visited by their builders for over a month! At least 2 homes belong to those that I've had to ban.
Therefore, any homes, businesses or buildings that have sat empty for too long with no signs that the owners will return, will either be converted over to public use, or put up for sale. The starting price for sale-homes will be 1 iron block (9 ingots), but some will be higher depending on their size, materials, and location. I'll try to reach the owners first to see if they intend to return before I do anything of the sort. There are also a few incomplete buildings/properties that I'm not even sure how to reach, in which case they will be sold for lower prices. I will post a sign to indicate when a place is up for sale.
When you've bought a house, you can do whatever you want to it; tear it down and rebuild, or keep it as is, or expand it, whatever you want. You can also re-sell it if you'd like, I only ask that you notify me first of it, so I know people aren't fraudulently selling houses they don't actually own.
It's late tonight, but the server shall be open tomorrow! Hope to see some new faces.
In about 40 minutes (10:00 PM Eastern Time, 4/21/15), I will open up my community server to anyone wishing to join a team to slay the Ender Dragon! Trophies are enabled! Great way to get it done if you haven't already!
Chests near the spawn will include an iron sword, bow & arrows, food, a stack of dirt, stone pickax and shovel, 8-minute potion of healing & potion of strength, and a crafting table. Torches will lead the way to a hole where vines can be climbed down to the End Gate.
Killing other players is forbidden, as is entering the community (at this time.) However anyone who helps in this Noble task & wishes to join the community shall be given some free wood & a little bit of cobblestone to get started with.
Space is limited, so I will approve requests for this shortly before starting up the server! Add Arvensis27972
