Poll
Question:
Pick a time option and whether you want magic and shit or not.
Option 1: Stone age and shit
Option 2: Greeky Romanish Persiany Egypty (up to like 400ad)
Option 3: Vikings and Crusades and shit (up to like 1300ad)
Option 4: English Civil War era, muskets and stuff but still pikes and swords (up to like 1700ad)
Option 5: Victoriany (up to 1900ad)
Option 6: Modern
Option 7: All the magic and fantasy
Option 8: Some fantasy and slightly magic stuff but barely any
Option 9: Fantasy but no magic
Option 10: Magic but no unicorns or other shit like that
Option 11: No magic or fantasy
Option 12: I don't care I just want to RP
Basically what sort of setting do you want for the server? Do you want to stick to real life or have magic (the magic system would be regulated, controlled and fairly strict)
Please pick ONE time period and your choice on fantasy/magic stuff
You can't change your vote so think carefully
The time periods are VERY general and probably wrong but get the idea across
English Civil War era would be good, Imagine the architecture we could do, like you can still do medieval castles which have been retrofitted and have pretty modern stuffs. Maybe adding a steam twist could work too? If we have magic it should be basic. Maybe all technology could be based around magic as the source of power?
Gee im stoned :o
Hey you Guest! This is your chance to be part of creating the brand spanking new Minecraft Roleplay Server! WOW!!! You can have an active part in choosing the setting of the server, even contribute to the core lore of the world we will be creating. So take the two minutes (if that!) to make an account here at HGN! Exclamation marks to make it exciting!
BUTT WEIGHT THEY'RES MOOR!!!!
You have TWO votes for this poll remember, ONE for the time setting and ONE for the magicalness of the world. So remember to use them BOTH.
The admin and mods will be all up in this (I will at least) and (nearly) no idea is too bad to hear and consider, so feel free to let those creative juices just spray all over this thread!
Why not steampunk or railpunk?
Steampunk / medieval like the good ol' days.
I chose fantasy but some magic but not very much because that how it was in the past. That's how it was for Aceon when it was at it's prime. Don't fix something it's not broken.
The original Minecraft during those times was amazing at providing the server with the best possible atmosphere for human-human contact which is the core necessity for role playing. We don't need crazy modifications to have an environment that encourages roleplay. We just need people who are actually motivated to invest their literal souls into a character that they are going to live as in an alternate reality. Pretty heavy shit. Therefore, I think we need an original old school way to roleplay in order to encourage the return to greatness that Aceon once was. If this doesn't make sense to anyone, then cool... me neither. If it does, then fuck yeah man.
EDIT: Sorry for the double post and yes, I'm still alive. If anyone was concerned... probably not...
I would love yo see old Aceon return that would be amazing. I would play again in a heartbeat.
More than anything, I just want a solid playerbase.
So it would seem that the server will be set in a world similar to the 1700's with the barest hints at magic and fantasy! Woo! Yay! Something got decided! Only 10 people voted! Woo! So get yo' asses online and help get stuff ready :D Mods and plugins will be added soon so RP is just a few steps away! YAY! WOO!! CP IS THE BEST!!! WOO!! YEAH!!

When you say barest hints...?

As in magic will not be as big of an influence or as powerful as it has been in previous settings and worlds for the HGN Minecraft server

Will it be weaker magics, or significantly less people who are ABLE to use magic? Or both?

As of now it seems both. Though it may be magic isn't a thing people have themselves but, something that everyone can use but with different effects... if that makes any sense...
i'd say it'd be something like a civilization/nomadic fade.
The more civilized, the more technical you are (Understanding contraptions and shit)
The more nomadic, the more spiritual you are (Scrying, summoning, IDFK it's magic)
Although I might think that magic has it's restrictions... Like a catalyst, totem, focal point, etc to use.

If magic is a natural born thing, for anything like tribes perhaps it can be represented in Shamans and such, and for more civilized powers a state sanctioned Magus or something of the likes being employed? Maybe you have to be registered if you wish to practice magic legally within a state, and unregistered mages would be looked down upon and possibly hunted down?
Honestly, I dunno.
Magic is Magic. And I guess the Civvies would hate the Nomads?

I actually didn't notice this last night, but an item that can be used to focus the magic through or whatever sounds good.
I'd like it to be set in the year 2007

I agree. I think 2007 is a good year.
these are some hot memes, pal
Victorian or Modern. Personally just to avoid the pointless *bad history* and arguments that sprung from it. I don't want to listen to people debating swords muskets and arrows. I just wanna RP. Also modernist settings would open up more possibilities with architecture, bases, and military aspects. The vast emptiness of the world in a modernist setting could be explained easily by the wonderful lore team you guys make. I don't know what you guys would think up but it could be anything from an apocalypse, time travel, colonization of a new world, or maybe we're just in the wilderness (Like what Siberia or Wyoming are to us in real life). People could build what they want, not have to argue about weaponry (because even the lowliest village idiot knows a modern gun shoots and kills things), and fun things like massive rail lines, sculptures, or elaborate ventilated underground bases could exist without the cop out "it's magic" excuse. Of course magic would be and should be incorporated because I mean come on, fantasy.
Just my two cents.
this is MY baby!

It was my server before it was yours, youngster.

Same argument to you. Come hang out and plan shit.
Probably 15th century Western world. You'll have an era full of large organized armies clad in full plate armor, primitive matchlock muskets, cannons, and good looking cities. It's not too ancient but not too modern.
