What is Minecraft?

Minecraft is a creative sandbox game centered around exploration and survival; exploring and gathering resources allows you to protect yourself against a variety of beasties that hunt you down during the night. The creative sandbox elements of the game fuel your want to survive and gather, which in turn allow you to build many wonderful creations. Basic fluid physics also provide interesting means of creating basic machines. The multiplayer is very similar to the single-player, just with more people. Right now neither enemies nor damage function, however an update fixing this will be arriving shortly.

If I got any wrong/missing, please PM (Bonemonster) so (he) can change it.

Please visit the server forum for discussion on the 1.8 map and Aldgate style gameplay. Server rules have been posted on the server forum.
Instructions on how to donate to help keep the server running are there to. You can donate at any time but donating is not required in any way to play, just makes it easier on Bonemonster.

Colored Titles Explained:

Red = Admin

Purple = Moderator (will also have Mod_ attached to their title if they have a chosen color already)

Light Blue = Rp City Guard

See the thread about donating on the server forum. Server needs some donating. The Bill is coming up!

The server was not paid for this month, due to a lack of support for Velox. We are looking to get a better server from a better provider as soon as one is available. For now, the server remains up under Velox until they choose to stop it.

We have a new server up and running. This requires money. No one is obliged to donate, but all donations are welcome. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=F9AK9VK9NYXD4&lc=US&item_name=TESFan%20Server¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP-DonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG.gif%3aNonHosted

What happened to your railway?

[Danel]

I dunno. What happened to my railway?



(I'm gonna assume the server crash happened to my railway?)

[gary lee]

No, parts of it are missing and some rails are gone, like random parts.

[Angela Woods]

Will we be installing the technic pack onto the server anytime soon?

Is there a simple way to uninstall every mod I have quickly and restore my Minecraft to vanilla?

[Michelle Smith]

Yeah, looks like the server ate it.

Go into appdata/Minecraft, delete the bin folder. Launch MC and it will redownload the vanilla bin.

[Nikki Hype]

Or we can take a look at this map and how Terpy was dealing with "peace negotiations". He was demanding that BP hand over materials in order to keep the peace. Some may say this was trolling, and may not have been far from the mark knowing Terpy, but he was within his "RP" rights to do so. All BP had to do was stop giving him materials, kill him or both. Simple.

That was fun, and that's what Roleplaying is. "RPG mechanics" is just the little stuff that MCMMO adds. We are roleplaying when we make big decorative towns, when we make signposts reminding people of their loyalties, when we hide underground in big dwarf tunnels. When we build roads to link the cities.

If nobody on the server was roleplaying at all, we'd all live in scattered cobble huts and dig mines under our houses.

Which it is now doomed to sadly.

[chinadoll]

There's roleplaying, and there's hassling other players. Learn the difference.

[Robert Garcia]

So what other mods should I get?

I'm getting the technic pack, the HD patcher, and Mine Little Pony (not for my skins, its so I see people with pony skins as ponies)

I feel like this list should be longer but there is a huge amount of stuff in the technic pack.

[Emily Graham]

There's roleplaying, and there's hassling other players. Learn the difference.

There's creativity and RPing to the theme, and there's close-mindedness. Learn the difference.

[Taylah Illies]

This is the second time that you've called a RP "hassling" or "trolling" just because it didn't go your way.

Honestly you're going to get many more mods installed. No more big content mods for sure, 5.0.5 Technic has 7 block IDs left.

Demanding materials is one thing, the destruction of personal property is another.

[Queen of Spades]

I've been trying to think of themes for a new city or society. My first idea is a group of pirates, the town would be a pirate cove, our goal would be the acquisition of booty and we'd have a crazed captain as a leader. The only problem is that the acquisition of booty is fraught with conflict and wouldn't be fun for a lot of people.
My second idea was an Aztec society, we could have weekly sacrifices to appease the gods. However the building style is rather restrictive, if a building isn't a pyramid, its a hut. Not much fun.
My third (and favourite) idea was a Thalmor-esque group that has been sent by an Empire to stop people worshipping the melon God. The Thalmor would be generally snotty and unpleasant but they wouldn't harm anybody beyond confiscating melons and raiding shrines. Citizens could have hidden melon shrines, they could sabotage Thalmor shrines or they could sell out and give up the location of somebody else's shrine. People could have secret meetings, We could have mock interrogations, prison rescues, all sorts of fun. Obviously the name Thalmor is a placeholder, we'd put our own spin on them for the purposes of the server. It would never go beyond this, nobody would get killed, no homes would be damaged and its supposed to be fun.
I'm eager to hear people's thoughts on these ideas.

[ruCkii]

Sabotaging a shrine makes me think of rigging it with TNT and a pressure plate...

Me Gusta.

Rigging places to explode when a hapless victim wanders into them is my dream job.

Are you mad? That could hurt somebody!

[Marilú]

I wasn't arguing about whether recent events upset people or not, I was simply pointing our that some form of roleplaying is needed by the players or there is bugger all to do, even with the mechanics in place.

We can add piles of mods and rules to the game but it doesn't make a difference if everyone just builds cobble towers and mines stone. The mechanics are then just exploited rather than played with, like what happened with spamming the economy in previous maps.

[April D. F]

Are you mad? That could hurt somebody!

That's the point!

[Everardo Montano]

A twist on the Aztec theme could be interesting. There's scope for some pretty impressive buildings/complexes, and we could add a technocrat twist with pistons and various automatons (this is now becoming a cross between Aztec and Dwemer in my head...). I don't think we'd have to stick to simply pyramids and huts, though obviously the buildings would be thematic.

The pirate cove idea is good too (Bone and I tried one a while back but got torn between other projects - primarily Vivec), but obviously their raison d'etre is rather pugnacious.


@Turns, that response was to Keys, who now seems interested solely in having a whinge rather than doing anything constructive.

[Lucie H]

We could install the technic pack and have the pirates be airship pirates.


Another idea for shrine sabotaging:
Hide dispensers in the shrine to reveal themselves and bombard the victim with potions and/or arrows!

[Chloé]

What about a middle eastern theme? In SP I spent a while building a tabernacle, though halfway through it merged into a mosque, but it was challenging nonetheless, and unique location.


The main problem would be lack of trees and animals, but it could be quite challenging. And the lack of deserts on this map...




I like the idea of an Aztec style. We could merge it with several south american styles, give it a sort of Tiki look.

[Samantha Mitchell]

Did you ever see Bone's sand fort? That place was seriously impressive.
