The Afterthought

[Unreal22]

Grr... I hate to bust in on everyone like this, but I had an idea and was not able to make it to the meeting yesterday. I'm glad Crash brought up what he did, because it's very similar to mine, perhaps even better. When kiwike started rapidly losing members, I admit I did go play on another rp server. I couldn't last a month. Kiwike was just too fun. But while I was there, I did notice some great ideas and things they implemented into the server that kept people coming out. (30-40 people on at every time of the day.) If we could take some of these ideas, then Kiwike might have a chance at salvation. (If yotta or droid want the name of this server I can Pm it to 'em)

Ok, so we want roleplay. If we didn't then Revamped would be the same as 2.0. Which it isn't. I've noticed that many of the hardcore roleplay servers out there have a set world, with towns already built. Now, this is great right? You can make a character and go out and not have to worry about building! Now, after 15 minutes of this, you're going to realize that minecraft is still minecraft, and leave the server. There are very few people who like set worlds. Instead, what this (example) server has done, is they have several different worlds through mulitverse or some other plugin, with a central world named Westeros (Not really the name). On westeros, there are no greifing, stealing, or murdering rules. Nor is there any build permissions, and players do not have the ability to destroy blocks. Hostile mobs may or may not spawn here. People may say, well, this is just what you wanted to avoid earlier! And this is where Crash's idea melds in. There are multiple worlds, say the Eastern Frontier and Western Wilds. Players can access those worlds from the End, since we don't currently use it for anything. Kinda like an End hub. Anyways, in those worlds, the rules from Westeros are null. Pvp and stealing are allowed along with greifing and other bad things to do. These two worlds are primarily a place to gather resources, a place to earn money by either finding gold or selling the resources they gathered. Once a player has enough money, they can form a house in Westeros. They get lands and titles. So soon Westeros will be populated by nice buildings that players can control themselves, and if a hardcore "no-building" roleplayer joins, they can simply wander around Westeros, roleplaying till they drop.

Another thing that the (example) server does, is weekly roleplay events. These could range anywhere from wars, player made rp events (player submits a script and admins review it) and admin made rp events. This could be anything from "You walk up to see a mutilated body swinging from a tree branch", to "There's an infestation of poisonous rats(silverfish) in <this city>, come help us kill them!". With admins and players working together to come up with these fun adventures, the server base would be much more populated.

The final thing I would like to bring up, is lore. There needs to be much more of it, and it needs to be more restrictive. Not so restrictive like certain fallout servers, but we need to have a list of species you can choose from. If a player REALLY wants to be a certain species not on the list, have them fill out a Species Application. The list should slowly grow over time. And MOAR! We need creative people coughcoughgeckocrashcercecoughcough to write us some lore! Maybe not lore that explains things, just fun stuff to sit and read.

Now, if this plan were implemented, it would require to end the world as we know it. I know, all of our hard work gone. But think about all the crap heap buildings scattered through the "supposedly" beautiful land the restart would take with it? It would be worth it to do a restart. I propose Kiwike: Anew. (That was a joke you haters.)

That pretty much sums up my contribution, if you have any questions please let me know. I lost my train of thought a few times while writing, and so I may have left out some important details.

tl;dr? Go read it.

I like this idea way more then the other ones.
But how would one implement it in the kiwike lore?
