Re: Alternate Minecraft Roleplay Themes

I'll change the name on the next version! Jorgas, what do you think of the name 'Frostheir' for your region? If you'd like a different name, please post it here soon.

by **Aegonian** Fri Apr 12, 2013 8:00 pm

The server is online again!

I've visited Dragon's Landing, and it seems the palace is still far from done. The city still has quite some empty space left: we should finish it soon!

by **JorgasElite** Sat Apr 13, 2013 1:46 am

I had a Track meet today, I think I can get on the server tomorrow.

Frostheir does seem a bit redundant, don't you think? Frostholm, Frostheir. How about Norrgale, or Isenveggan?

by **kingnecromancer** Sat Apr 13, 2013 5:02 pm

My magic launcher, is not letting me downgrade to 1.4.7 meaning I won't be able to get on. Unless... (Going to try something)

by **Aegonian** Sat Apr 13, 2013 5:17 pm

Norrgale sounds nice, I'll change it soon! Also, the server is online now, so if you've the time, come online!

@Necro: Have you tried using MVC (Minecraft Version Changer)?

by **Aegonian** Sat Apr 13, 2013 9:56 pm

Here's a new set of maps, with updated region names and location names. I also added a third map, which shows what regions are controlled by every faction (green for Aettir, blue for Icecarl, yellow for Erokki and red for Pyrork):

Spoiler:

The server is online, so if you've the time, come online!

Also, @Necro: I built the arena you asked for. It's almost entirely finished now, so I'd like to know what you think of it!

by **Aegonian** Mon Apr 15, 2013 8:32 pm

The server is online again! I'll be on the server soon, working on a new skin prototype now.

by **Aegonian** Wed Apr 17, 2013 9:53 pm

The server is online again, so if you have something to finish, come online!

by **JorgasElite** Thu Apr 18, 2013 10:15 pm

I'll be coming on in a few minutes if you can turn it on, sorry about my timing.

by **Aegonian** Fri Apr 19, 2013 7:52 am

I'm sorry I wasn't able tp put the server online yesterday: I had a very long day at college... The server will be online today, though. I have a day off, so I can put it online almost all day.

by **Aegonian** Sat Apr 20, 2013 4:40 pm

The server is online again!

I've been working a bit on Dragon's Landing, as I'd like it to be finished soon. I've added a small church-like building with a graveyard next to it, and I've added a small oasis with water and palm trees. I've also placed several palm trees spread throughout the city, it looks much more hospitable now!

by **Aegonian** Sat Apr 20, 2013 10:57 pm

Dragon's Landing is done! Now Necro will just have to finish his palace, and the Erokki should be good to go.

@Sataz and Lunark: Will you still be doing the Brimnur and Calxites? It's been a while since I've seen you on the server!

by **Lunark** Sun Apr 21, 2013 5:13 pm

Sorry for being gone, life and stuff... unfortunately I don't think I'll be joining the roleplay. The fantasy theme just doesn't capture my attention like it used to. Right now I'd like to try Voltz or Mindcrack and have us all be at war with each other, but I'd rather you guys do what you want

by **Aegonian** Tue Apr 23, 2013 4:23 pm

We should continue The Collapse, it's a great roleplay that's gotten too little attention!

We've also been thinking of doing a secondary Minecraft server, most likely using Voltz, FTB or a similar modpack. This could be a Shattered Globe server (which could make for some nice modern warfare scenarios) or a The Collapse server - I personally believe that this is more viable, as you play as individual characters. The Shattered Globe would have multiple factions, all which should have a lot of members (or NPCs, maybe) to make them feel right...

by **thunderpants** Tue Apr 23, 2013 8:47 pm

Yeah a Shattered Globe style could be cool. Although I'd rather just run 1 RP at a time, otherwise people will get confused and the inevitable meta-gaming based on actions within 1 rp.

by **Lunark** Wed Apr 24, 2013 11:32 pm

Well for the Collapse roleplay I think we'd need to build the world first, and spread blueprints (books that show recipes and functions of electronics, or actual blueprints if we're using FTB) and machines. And for shattered globe, we might be able to function just with the seven-eight of us, each one corresponding a government, and have NPCs in the form of testificates or turtles or something. Well actually we could have NPCs for both.

Or, we could just skip all that work and do everything from scratch in survival, like the Collapse in the woods or the civs in SG building themselves up.

But yeah, one roleplay at a time.

by **Aegonian** Sat Apr 27, 2013 2:04 pm

I do agree that having two roleplays at a time might introduce some confusion and meta-gaming, yeah.

For the Collapse, we would have to build quite a large city, along with outskirts and wilderness around it, so that would probably take too long... I do like the idea of a Collapse-style roleplay being played from scratch, though!

A Shattered Globe roleplay with NPCs could work too, though I think that more player interaction would be nice in such a roleplay. If we only have a few factions, that would make the population of each more dense.

by **thunderpants** Sat Apr 27, 2013 2:16 pm

Maybe we could hybridise both ideas? Let individuals form the factions, but keep the factions fewer.

However if that would happen I wouldn't want to be my Collapse player... My mutated Orangutan sounds much more me.

I also like the idea of having to rebuild/build in rp.

Infact I have already made a plan to create a nice science base for any fellows who wish to assist me in rejuvenating the wasteland. The triumph centre, a smooth tall building of Concrete, Blast Proof Glass and Blast Proof Brick. I hope to be able to provide accommodation to any scientist who endeavours to improve the world.

by **JorgasElite** Tue Apr 30, 2013 2:04 am

Could you turn on the server next weekend? We could show the newbies the server so far.

by **Aegonian** Tue Apr 30, 2013 10:14 am

I'll turn on the server soon! I've been a bit busy with Dark Arisen lately...

@Pacman & Stealthy Joe: When will you be able to go online (assuming you'd like to see the server sometime)? I've a week off, and although I have a bit of work to do, I could turn on the server and go online pretty much all day.

by **thunderpants** Thu May 02, 2013 6:34 pm

I do need to finish off my beauty of a ship/palace (Shipalace?)

Oh and in case people are wondering about my Shipwreck city thing, I'm vouching out of Pyrorks. I feel that controlling them will be difficult and I'll just always end up the Bad Guy. Instead I believe the Brurnt Belt will become a source of Nether Mob Drops, and I am creating the Hydrates, a race of barnacle like creatures who have taken host in the remains of sailors.

Pros: Night Vision underwater, and Breathing Underwater and skeletons neutral until attacked...
Cons: Burn in Sunlight...

My cons always seem extreme.

by **Aegonian** Thu May 02, 2013 7:37 pm

I'll put the server online in a couple of minutes! I've got to finish my texturing assignment so I won't be online immediately, but I might be later tonight.

by **JorgasElite** Fri May 03, 2013 8:47 pm

We need to start making some random locations before the RP starts. I think that will increase the encouragement of exploring and will enhance the server's appeal.

by **Aegonian** Fri May 03, 2013 9:26 pm

I've actually already built quite a couple of random dungeons and ruins, though I'll be building many more before we start the roleplay. What we also need are more written books: they would be nice collectible items, and will also tell layers more about the background of the world.

Also, the server is online again!
