Hardcore Island Proposition;

Nikoljan

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.

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

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)

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
