Minecraft Server Survey
FYI this is not advertising in any way shape or form, just a survey that can provide reference.
This is a list of questions for a survey that will help us (creators) of a new server to find what the players want in a mine-craft server. From most important features to rules and ethics. list anything you can think up to inform us on what potential players want, as well as established servers that can learn a thing or two from it's player base.
We want a server that can cater to both hard-core and casual players with just and fair admins/mods that are monitored to prevent admin/mod abuse. We are also developing a new Factions mod that allows the plugin to be more balanced and competitive. Soon we will be entering a closed beta, and soon open to public to ensure that the server is stable, viable, and most importantly fun!
We are still in the process of developing this project, but with your help we can design a server with a great experience.
Some ideas to help you elaborate
Game Type: survival or creative
Features: do you like/want: spleef, mob arena, pvp arena, player shops, nether, admin shop
Plugins
Factions: yes/no
mcmmo: yes/no
Iconomy: yes/no
Towny: yes/no
Jail: yes/no
Mob Arena: yes/no
Jobs: yes/no
Shops: yes/no
list any other plugins that you would want in this server...
Spawn System: old school walk out the door and your in warzone, or do you prefer warps to random destinations? or both?
Spawn Camping: ok or not ok
Whitelist: yes/no
Website: yes/no
Slots: more than 150? less than 150?
Greifing: like/dislike
Nether: yes/no
World Type: what would you think if this server possibly had space setup with planets and inter galactic/ planetary warfare and/or colonization and exploration?
With planets you would be able to design your own home world, attack other factions's home worlds, and conquer planets for resources.
Some planets would have different materials. Some materials would be common, and some that are valuable enough to start wars over.
Any other ideas you can think of please list, it will be greatly appreciated. As soon as this server goes public we will post the IP address or domain name, so that you can connect to a server that hopefully shares the views that you will share in this thread. With your help and input you can be part of a server that you helped to create!
Thank you for your time!
Want I want in a server?
No plot systems. I beleive that anyone should build anywhere (with a few restrictions of course) and plots just restrict a person's size of their build.
Less ranks. The less ranks there are in a server the better because people won't ask all the time to get a certain rank and it helps stop elitism within the server's community.
Plugins
Factions: no
mcmmo: no
Iconomy: no
Towny: no
Jail: yes
Mob Arena: yes
Jobs: no
Shops: yes
Factions are just dumb and so are levelling systems in Minecraft. If you want a rpg system in a server then sure, go for it but I don't like my Minecraft like that. I like people building so shops can help people buy materials. Mob arena is to add fun to the server :)
If you're going to have a whitelist then you should have a decent website. And by decent I really mean decent. No webs other free website hosting.
I feel like writing more but I can't at the moment so hold that thought :)
