Re-Introduce an SMP Server

  • I will vouch if we
    Don’t add claim plugins
    Use a cool world like a earthsmp world or a magical world with end stuff and nether stuff in overworld
    AND JUST VANNILLA

  • smp items 2


    in all seriousness, these things have a very limited lifespan
    the smp items plugin was designed to extend people having a goal on the server by having good items behind a grind wall like hypixel skyblock or something similar
    since we didn't actually fully test the plugin some oversights were had but that server was so hyped that like 50 people joined which eventually fizzled out because a smp is a smp
    smps last for a week or two max and the ones who are actually willing to play it for longer and for lots of time are people dedicating their life to minecraft which is quite rare
    resets are often controversial for those who have a lot of playtime on the server, even if it would introduce new people as it's a fresh restart
    i really liked the idea of a world map because you could introduce world politics, while that did happen it was often limited due to rules (war, could you grief? etc).


    just a straight vanilla has been done 50 times before and honestly is nothing new at this point, while it would be a good addition it's just gonna be people who already play tf joining that server and making the main server have even fewer people than it already has


    edit: changed to object, refer to one of my previous posts on a different thread (?) about allowing regions to create smps in the main freedom server itself

  • I appreciate this is old, but I'm going to bump it because there's not been a super clear consensus on what people actually want from this. I'm in two minds to just close this as "Yes people are interested in an SMP but not sure what flavour it should be" so happy to allow further discussion for the time being.

  • Vouch, however I do have some concerns.


    While it's open and massive, I'm not quite sure how well this would be handled in terms of moderation. The map itself is very well done from the videos I've seen on it, the map might be a bit TOO big if the player count isn't high. It'll become boring after a while if you are just doing the same thing over and over.


    While I like the idea of political tention with Guild/Faction Wars, how would this be done? Through PVP? If so then a bunch of very skilled PVPers will just flock to one Guild and everything becomes imbalanced with their perfect gear. Doing it the TF-01 way? Well then you just have a measuring contest on who has the most ridiculous technology or ship. (Most notably the original Ender ships, which have been thankfully nerfed over time, thanks Zarcana.)


    This would give TFGU some usefulness after it's rapid decline of relevancy in the Guild part of TF, establishing specific crimes you cannot do or else you'll be sanctioned and be punished for said crimes, like the UN but they are actually useful. I personally don't see the SMP going longer than a week before everyone is bored because political tentions aren't high, so people will start leaving behind their Guild/Faction to be taken over by someone else, pretty much becoming a powerhouse of said SMP and dominating due to their strength and political influence.


    Travelling around the world might also be a bit of a problem, however this is a minor issue and I presume we'll have some sort of Warp mechanic in-place to travel to important parts of the world, so /shrug.


    I like the idea that Kanst had suggested, but there are blatant problems with the Guild/Faction stuff which I believe would be the downfall of the server itself.


    (Because I am a moron, I forgot to reply to Kansts idea, this was primarily outlining possible problems with Kansts idea.)
