Post #1
I have a 4GB RAM laptop lying around.
I'm going to reformat it and convert it to a full time Minecraft server.
What should the rules be?
It will have to be "for profit".
You can play without buying anything but there is the option to buy:
-2 Diamonds (5 cents)
-Iron Stack (5 cents)
I'll let you guys help me with the shopping list.
I'm not sure what paypal can go down to (is 5 cents even possible?)
TNT stack will cost more than 5 cents though... for sure.. (for the sake of ensuring the server is live)
I want to keep this as VANILLA AS POSSIBLE! (minus the "for profit" store)
I'll probably carry "no-cheat" as well.
Spawn will also needs some means of regeneration or protection... but I still want it to be chaotic
Well. I might make multiple "spawn" points. Or maybe I should have the spawn point move based on how ... jacked up spawn is? (how does one quantify jacked up?)
Or maybe the spawn point should "drift" gradually... (with every new spawn) ... yeah, that'll work. Keeps things fresh.
Well I guess the only thing left is a domain name and the rest of the shopping list.
Edited:
anyone know the specs of 2b2t.net?

Why the hell would you charge for in-game items? I mean seriously, the fun in the game is collecting your resources and building magnificent creations. Nobody will pay for your shit, you can do the exact same thing elsewhere for free, such as Creative mode.
-
You can collect the old fashion way or if you'd like to support the server you can pay.
I've seen servers that allow you to buy items before. It's not that big of a deal.
-
You say you want your server to be vanilla as possible, but people can build diamond castles within seconds of being on your server just by having money.
Yeah, no. A good server doesn't allow anyone to donate for ingame items or buy admin/moderator. You also seem to want to go with a anarchy type server and buying items in an anarchy server is probably one of the most absurd things I've ever read.
Just because other servers make it seem "ok" doesn't mean it is. Servers that allow people to do things like that are normally associated with abusive admins and a generally bad player base.
-
That's pathetic, I'm sorry. I've never really played Minecraft online but after hearing a reason like that, it makes me feel like staying on Single player permanently.
-
Well, selling items that might be useful is a bad idea because it ruins the player economy. Instead you could sell things that are useless but fun, like colored names or saddles.
-
Diamond Castle on a PVP chaos server?
Chaos server...
Chaos
Castle? Really?
They wont be able to buy admin powers. Just items.
-
That wouldn't be the best thing to do if you want people to actually stay on your server. If you are going to give items out for donations to keep your server up, it would make the server unbalanced and chaotic no matter what type of server you have, modded or vanilla.
The only thing I think donators should receive on minecraft servers are the fancy name plates, for example: Gold VIP/donator tag/name
-
Extreme survival server
1. No rules at all, other than the general no cheat, no hacks type of thing.
2. On death you get instabanned for 1 week.
3. People can spend money to be unbanned faster.
-
But institute the banning rule after you build a steady player base so they will be committed and more likely to pay.
-
I disagree.
I decided to sell items to see if it worked...
Total of $1270 this quarter in donations
-
You attracted a bunch of autistic children with money. Congratulations!
-
$5 to be able to spawn items for a week
-
Terrible idea. "Lets make chests and stick every item possible in it!"
-
It reminds me of a GMod server I once joined where one of the advertisements was that if you payed 5 dollars/pounds a month then you would get access to STools and NPC spawners.
I've already payed for the game and I want to play online with other people with all the features my money was spent on, I don't want to pay another extra amount of money just to play with others the way it's supposed to be played in the first place.
-
This is actually a good idea. (though I still think that the ability to purchase diamonds and the such wouldn't completely throw the balance off... I will have to see proof first)
I wont do a week long ban though. Maybe a day long ban. I'll make the cost to get back in like ... 25 cents? I don't know. I'll have to play around with that first as well.
-
you are whats wrong with the minecraft multiplayer community.
-
you do realize that there are so many servers that nobody is going to join yours and you will never make a big playerbase
-
Paying for a coloured name tag and a title and possibly getting a fun and useless item like a vinyl disc or chocolate beans.
-
First rule should be no fun allowed.
-
-
He was kinda kidding about the whole ban for dying rule, noone will play your server.
-
no body is allowed to strafe right
no sprinting allowed
once every week, every player must build a statue devoted to you

I'd rather not support a server which has a 'pay-to-win'esque scheme going on. Unless it revolves around PvP I don't know why anyone would pay for items?
-
You know that the service fees for paypal for receiving cash are <5cents, right?
You would be losing money.
-
keep rules to a minimum
minecraft is a sandbox, when you add rules to a sandbox, it becomes less fun with each rule
Edited:
and why are you trying to run a server for profit you cunt, go run a darkrp server
Edited:
in fact, don't even make a server
-
Five dollars to spawn items?
Seriously?
-
five CENTS
-
Protip: No pay to win bullshit like that. Make a server with 0 rules. At all. Maybe have a spawn area to start in that is safe, errthing else is pvp, gotta hide your house, hide yo chest, hide yo wife cuz they stealin errthing out here.
-
This is an awful idea all round.
As someone said, there are so many servers out there that yours is not going to be at all attractive to building up a player-base if people can just buy items.
The only real ways of making money would be either to do it off a pre-existing community or to suddenly start charging on a pre-existing server where people have already invested lots of time that they don't mind paying.
Both of those are crap things to do though. Too many people trying to make a quick profit off other people's success.
-
Sorry, I misread.
But yeah, Why the hell would I pay to spawn items?
-
You know what else had pay-to-win?
TOR.
-
i hate you
-
I bet the laptop has some really, really old Pentium piece of shit in it, or a low-end AMD CPU and OP's upload is around 1mbps.
-
If you want an example of how to run a great server, look at this guy.i hate you
-
for him to recieve 1 cent, the player would have to pay 32 cents
-
Well this is one server to avoid.
-
This must be a rule:
1. No DANCING, BOOGYING, or JIVING at any time.
-
He's got to be trolling or extremely retarded to even think up an idea like this.
-
No one mentioned that he said He is only doing this for profit.
