I think that it's time for Multiplayer Minecraft to allow a new kid on the block.
One that isn't a hub server, or that wants to be a hub server.
So I've been developing an idea that will hopefully come to fruition before the summertime.
This idea is ServerBy6ix.
Serverby6ix, my project, is a futuristic, cyberpunk inspired, role-play environment that melds everything you love about multiplayer Minecraft, the mini-games, the PvP, the social interaction, together in a seamless, constantly updated world.
There isn't a single server trying to break the barrier that hub servers hold.
Don't get me wrong hub servers are quick and efficient, but they're drab and dull.
The only thing that keeps them alive is a strong playerbase and a new minigame that introduces itself when times get a little dreary.
For new servers this is difficult. Without these main two elements it's hard for a new server to remain afloat.
No one wants to be edgy, no one wants to try something new.
Why do players take such long breaks from Minecraft at times? It gets boring, and all thats out there outside of survival singleplayer is hub servers. An endless sea of repetitive, dime a dozen, copy-cats.
Minus a select few servers that remain unique, this is the sad blocky reality we live in.
I'd like for you to take a chance and see what I've got cooking.
I hope it allows a new era of Minecraft servers to dream big and strive to achieve big.
I explain my server concept pretty well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjF8NYr1lYA
The trailer I made originally can be viewed on the main page of my IndieGoGo fundraiser: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/serverby6ix-the-future-of-minecraft-begins-here/x/3510512#home
The fundraiser needs $2,500 by April 22nd, 2014 in order for it to come to fruition. I'm hoping we can get close.
This project, this server is a dream of mine and I need all the help I can get.
I appreciate the time you took out to read this message. Feel free to show as little or as much support as you'd like, something as little as a tweet would mean the world to me.
Thank you,
Macintoth
P.S. And yes, I will be whoring myself out on the internet just to catch a bit of momentum. So I apologize if this all comes off a little brash.

I own a hub server. And some hub servers isn't just a circle, they have some pretty amazing stuff. Some hub servers make it where you join their server and then type a command to be teleported to another network that is not a hub network on the other hand. What makes this different?

So I watched the video, you seem old enough to read.
My question is why this was posted in our general discussion forum when we have a non-World of Minecraft servers forum...
Since I'm not expecting an answer I'll even move the thread there for you!
wow... how nice am I

I'll try to answer all your questions, and any further ones.
You're right some hub servers have extra facets that allow players to play an MMO gamemode through their lobby. However, that's still part of the hub aspect. It's great for quickness and efficiency and I mention that. There are a select bunch of servers that really do a good job being a "hub server" and more. And they do it justice. The majority however does not.
What I'm trying to do, what we're trying to do is create an environment that feels like a breathing city and is a breathing city that does a lot more than funnel players into other mini-games and gamemodes. Players while looking for that gametype they really like will stumble upon quests and lore, be wrapped up in a gunfight in the slums. Just generally do a lot more between points A and B. Hopefully we'll make it so that getting from A to B is so interesting that you end up heading off into an option C and D.
The difference ends when you first get into the server. You don't spawn in the middle of options, you spawn in the middle of a city that's got a lot more on its mind than you. As if you woke up in Times Square with a couple pennies on your person. It'll be overwhelming and make the first time player very curious to see what's going on around them. Why are people heading towards club music? Why are people stumbling around drunk? Why are certain players able to jump higher? Why is that strange man talking about his next wetwork job? It's all very alien, it's all very enticing.
I apologize for not posting in the right section. I thought that since our server isn't ready for release that it wouldn't belong with a bunch of live servers. My intention wasn't to be a nuisance.
And yes I am literate enough to reply to such a comment.
Hopefully I answered your questions well enough.

Woo, An answer!
Well, Good luck with the server
