Steampunk you say?

While I've always considered Minecraft roleplay to be... clunky, at best.. this is something that might be not only new and interesting but something I don't see done as often before.

Curious what are specific plans for the Minecraft RP server? I can only assume you'll need build rights to truly exploit the full potential of the world around you. But, will there be any mods implemented? Or vanilla Minecraft in a Steampunk setting? Both, obviously, quite doable--and a texture pack never hurt anyone. Plenty of Steampunk packs out there. d

To answer your question, I plan on including plugins that are necessary for running a roleplaying server smoothly - We'll have local chat, an economy and locks. I want to include a minimal amount of plugins, for the sake of reducing server strain and encouraging roleplay. We will likely not have special combat or powers plugins, as all character actions are expected to be played out in text. Minecraft's combat is far too simplistic to represent the sophisticated, story-driven combat of an interactive story like MM. This philosophy was present in Aceon, and it is one of the few things I plan on keeping. Glimmar's steampunk textures are quite pretty, and Glimmar's pack will likely be encouraged over other packs unless another suitable pack is found. Build rights will be subject to an application process, much like Aceon's, but this process is not at all tedious - Show us you can roleplay well, and we'll let you build.

Plugins, of course, but when I say mods I mean stuff like airship mods or other stuff that actually adds content to the game its self, or if it should work perfectly fine with a vanilla copy of Minecraft. I have little preference either way. Everything else I wanted to know has otherwise been answered.

I'd even consider coming back for this

If you guys can contact people that are... "veterans", as much as I don't like that word, please tell them about Machina Mythos. Uh, you know, just uh, not the ones that were kind of bad at roleplaying, k? :)

Beano

Avol told me earlier that he might come back, also Demon said he should be getting a gaming rig later this year.

No, I was talking about people who were very unskilled, and just uh... well, bad.
Of course we could try to train them, but often times we already had and it didn't work.
Mako, er, uh... fuck whatever your IG name is, you're a cool cat.

What about that NinjaNoah guy, he seemed like a stellar roleplayer, right. right...

Last time I strolled around in the Minecraft RP server, I was a foreign architect from the distant lands of Rothdan (my private Minecraft server) who had come to study the local buildings. I kept a writable book with me and documented each day in it as a journal.

But now all this mention of a boatman makes me want to be a fishmonger or something.

Demon said when he gets his gaming PC he'll likely come back, also CP and Avol will probably (90% sure) come too.

And I thought Port was coming back anyway?

Chief was cool guy and good builder. Didn't Rp much from what I remember

Beano

Chief's like, 24 or something now, I think he's probably outgrown us, I hope I'm wrong though.

You realize that Maxi was 22 or something and so was Port?
I bet there were some members that were older than them, so I doubt that he's grown us out.
Besides, you never leave. Only take a temporary break.

It was a long time ago. I was still sorta new and I think Port told me that Ed was an old man. So for a while I thought he was a creepy old man who liked to Rp with kids.
