A New Frontier

It all sounds good, but i'm sure implementing some of these mods would be harder than it looks. Do they make mods for "world events" and the like? your next hurdle would be server popularity. In order to sucessfully have world events there has to be a large player base to take part. I would first start with filling the server up, then trial the world events once more players are there to offer their opinions.

All in all, it sounds fun and I can't wait to play again.

The goal is 50 slot, i do plan advertising as well though im sure populating the server will be the hardest part in all of this. i wasn't planning on having any mods for world events, heres is a couple examples of how id do a world event with out any mods apart from your run of the mill bukkit.

Project events: Gamemode 1 all participating players, this is already a built in feature to the game that disables upon logging off then back on to the server, preventing players from abusing to much this privilege.

War Events: this one would take some preparation and a bit of seclusion from the server populace but that wont be hard considering the purpous of this event is to clear out new "uncharted" territory. Again, with out any mods apart from basic bukkit, prepare a large area with vacant buildings and mob spawners.

every thing would be discussed in advance and people would yay or nay there participation prior to the event via a forum thread. id probably work it like a world advisory "Forces are approaching (Our world name) they are expected to arrive 1 week from now, will you bare arms and protect our home!???" ( Bam people reply to thread with yes or no, i have a life)

Zeppelin Mod?

Possibly, link me to it or a video. I wouldnt just add it, it would probably be a reward for world progression.

I'm a proud supporter of this thread and another attempt at a minecraft server!

We need to keep mods at a minimum. They are fun to a point but they are also a pain in the ass to learn and can lag the server.
So for a new person coming inside a server, we want them to be able to learn quickly how to fit in. Not have to read 2 hours worth of rules and shit to finally be able to place a block down.

I am a HUGE supporter of any type of bounty system, although, I would suggest there be a bounty forum section. That way we could start a forum post with Name, Any Needed Info needed to find said person, such as normal times on and what grids (x,y,z) said player is normally found at. Then another can post a screen shot of that player being killed or something and collect the bounty and the thread can be closed. Having a "Top 5 Bounty Board" in game wouldn't be a bad idea though. This would help attract people to the forums and also keep things simple and clean.

im thinking that i will be hosting my own server rather then using a host provider. Im currently researching servers and will post what i will end up making for you all to comment on.

Ill also be using an ISP that will grant 50mb/s down 10mb,s up for 100 a month. Any thoughts on this? How many people do you think a dedicated server with 10mbs up can host?

We are running 50 down and 10 up on our private minecraft server. It handles 2 servers with 10 people each AND 6 other people streaming on the network no problem.
So in my opinion, that should be enough speed to start out with. If the server gets popular(20+ on) then we might want to consider other options.

that actually looks pretty neat.

Though i would have to test with it before implementing.

update: im planning on building a server that can host two MC servers. The actual world server and a test server. With a 50 down 10 up internet service and 16GB of ram, we should be able to handle mods and a decent player base for starting out. I will be looking into 4 slot server M/B's so that if in the future i decide to upgrade it wont hurt my pockets as much.

I have a server that is mod ready if you throw me some links to what you want to test I can start looking into them. I have really nothing better to do with my time as of now. lol.
