Hardcore Island
I was trying to think of something to add a new feature to the server that will get our senior members something new to do and new-commers something else to look forward to.
I think it would be great if there was a way to have staff design an island that is laid out to be very difficult to survive on. Health regeneration would be turned off , and there would be many more mobs. Building would not be allowed, only gathering resources. (I'm not sure if there is a plugin we already have that would allow us to adjust the number of mobs spawning). The island's resources may regenerate daily, sort of like the EnderDragon reset. This would make this island a higher risk area to play on but yield larger rewards.
One idea to make it so users aren't just farming on the island would be perhaps to consider PVP to make it even more dangerous since the idea is that it is hardcore.
Anyways this is just a base idea that can be evolved with a little brainstorming and I'm sure into a great project and another addition to the server.
I'd be willing to devote as much time as needed to make this work, and this wouldn't be my first time building a hardcore zone. So I do have some experience.

I love this idea. I would love to help, If this would ever be implemeted. =)
Great idea!
-
Better yet, they could have a server run TerraFirma Craft to make it harder yet on that world.

Ideally we wouldn't want to be implementing any huge plugins as I'm sure we could do this with what we already have. More plugins = more glitches and more unnecessary work.

Love the idea, would help out with it as well
-
I will help :)
-
Sounds awesome! This would definitely increase player style diversity.
-
Sorry for the necro... But I think it would be a great idea!
-
This sounds like a great idea, but it also sounds like something the senior staff doesn't feel like working on. Although I would personally be willing to help if it increases the chances of it being implemented. Well, I'll help in general, but yeah.
(Thanks for the necro, now I got to see this :D)

YW. And I would help :)

And then staff comes and crushes all our hopes and dreams.

I'd like to bump this topic because it hasn't really been finished and I feel with the recent discussion that's been going on, this would be a good idea to bring up.
-
A fun game mode for sure especially for people to jump into in addition to our other worlds
-
I don't see why this cant be proposed it is fun exciting and gives all a chance to take our minds off building
-
We have no one to code any of this.
-
so where do we start? with getting a dev? Opti know anyone else that can do it? or you nick, know anyone?

We have nobody. If we did know anyone who was willing to do it, they'd already be doing it.
We can't just pick up anyone, since a few lines of malicious code contained in the plugin is enough to destroy the server.
-
sooo this server is (in other words) being run into the ground soon to hit and be destroyed? :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( unless we can get a dev?
i'd hate for everyone to be split up from one another. meaning this server is like a 2nd family for some. to see it go would be almost the end of the world. ;(

I agree and all.. but "malicious code" "destroy the server"?
I feel like people don't really understand java when they say that. Sure, in extreme circumstances someone could code something bad, but that's if we were stupid enough to hire someone we didn't trust. If it were a mistake in the code somewhere, all it's gonna do is throw you some crap in the console, and you can fix it. There won't be a nuke going off on the server because of some code.

Of course a small mistake won't destroy the server. I was more getting at the ability to do pretty much anything. While it is unlikely whoever we take will choose to put in a small routine to give himself op, it still is a valid risk.
So far, I've only ever seen one person volunteer to code for the server, and he was rejected due to lack of trust.

Well any code that will ever get added to the server will be reviewed by me and optical anyway and simple backdoors are not too difficult to spot.
But you are right, if we knew anyone we would have a dev. If I can find time this summer I'll start doing some dev work but no promises.

No guarantees I used to know a few people that could make good devs but I dont know if I'll b able to find them. Ill try.
