Here it is - Kiwike Revolution, a unique Minecraft RP experience like never before! Following the Medieval fantasy theme traditional to Kiwike, this new map will define Kiwike! This is your chance to take part in a ground-breaking creation alongside your fellow Kiwike community!
Kiwike Revolution is the next step in Minecraft roleplay, offering all the things you love about Kiwike in a new environment!

The Concept

A defining lore, central to the history of the entire land of Kiwike, binds the entire community in an epic story unravelling around us! Nations have risen, new and old, through this grand tale of love, hate, war and peace. The lands in and around them are wild; largely unclaimed forests and hills have been claimed by plant and beast. Few brave enough to venture the wilderness have come back - whether they have settled amongst the wild, or have been lost entirely cannot be known..

This server incorporates the two main fields of RP for Minecraft, while allowing great opportunity for each and every character! Large partially pre-built states or nations make up much of the land - while free to alter environments fill the large space in between them.

Settlements, villages, ruins and artifacts litter the geography of the map for the purpose of extensive roleplay quests and adventures. One may settle and build within one of the predestined nations, or set out for themselves into the wild and make a name as an adventurer!

The Great Wall

A legendary wall like nothing ever seen spans the entire land of Kiwike.. you've always been told it was built to protect us from a great evil, yet nobody alive knows of its true origin..

The Great Wall, an ancient symbol of Kiwike splits the geography in two - the Eastern and Western lands. In the depth of the wilderness, it is left alone - as a border between two worlds. Few experienced travellers know of the ways to move between the two.. the hidden tunnels and secret gates..

The Sides and Combat

In Kiwike Revolution, the best compromise of roleplay is found. The argument between text-based fighting, within RP, and PvP has been solved!

Within the Eastern lands, PvP is disabled to leave space for players to text-fight and carry on with their own creative combat. This type of combat is for those who feel collaborative imaginations can authenticate a combat experience for themselves!

Meanwhile, in the Western lands, PvP is enabled for players who still feel as if they are more comfortable solving RP disputes with the default Minecraft features. Be aware, all PvP must be backed by roleplay reason! No unprecedented ambushing or surprise attacks! Nobody likes an unfair, or unexpected fight.

Worried about dividing the community? We've thought of that! Any player will have the opportunity to travel between the two parts of the map to take place in roleplay with characters on the other side! Depending on what side of the map you are located in, you must follow the combat regulations accordingly!

However, with custom scenario plug-ins based around offer and accept commands, two players may choose to take part in the opposite form of combat! If both players accept, via specialty commands, PvP will either be enabled or disabled between them depending on which side of the map they are in!

Nations, Settlements, and Block Protection

Several nations will be prebuilt partially in order to efficiently enter into full roleplay interaction with other lands, and serve their citizens. These nations will be predetermined, with a constant theme throughout. Plots will be available for citizens to move into and build on, under regulated theme and quality - there is far more security in a large nation than in the wild!

Making use of the astounding new custom plug-in, Territories (coded by owner and admin, yottabyte), players will be offered the best block protection available on Minecraft! With customizable plots, ownership, and permissions within settlements, Territories exceeds all expectations and supplements roleplay perfectly! Banks and blacksmiths support the local economies with Iconomy, and Kiwike's custom Locks plug-in.

For those who wish to build more than on predesignated plots, the ability to create your own settlement with your roleplay characters has been made available in the wilderness! High-quality RP and building requirements are a must for custom villages or settlements! Remember, the setting is just as important as the event! With a group of 5 or more players, a small settlement may be established and given block-protection, once quality has been confirmed by a staff member!

The Wilderness, Quests, and NPC Settlements

The wilderness in Kiwike is a resource rich, alterable, and largely unpopulated escape from the nations and states of the land. Though the land is freely alterable for the sake of gathering resources, ugly and non-roleplay structures (or underground bases) are unacceptable and will be removed. Small, realistic camps are acceptable as temporary residences.
The reason we do not allow players to build personal forts or houses in isolation is to make sure all players are social or at very least interactive, and to keep the wilderness as natural and uninterrupted as possible.

Amongst nature on either side of The Great Wall, NPC (Non-player Character) settlements and ruins scatter the land. They offer quests, activities, or simply supplement roleplay by offering new settings and information! The goal of these prebuilt settings is to make sure all players have exciting roleplay to take part in beyond their own personal tale!

Your Character, Your Adventure!

Along with this intricate new lore, revolves your character! An in-depth and detailed background for your character is a must if high-quality roleplay is to be expected!

From a select group of default species, you may choose your character! This, though slightly limiting, is a requirement in order for the lore to make sense! If you believe you have a species idea that would fit well into the dynamic of the server, you may submit it to the staff for consultation, and it may be added to the list of acceptable species!

Remember, in order for any system of roleplay to work you must have all types of characters. Not every player can be a king from a far away land or an all knowing wizard - in fact, it would be even more encouraged that your character start off as an ordinary citizen or nomad for the purpose of building up your tale. It is recommended that your character be original and have at least basic, realistic goals - but watch out, you don't want to pigeon-hole your character into a boring niche!

Your character can start off at any number of settings - starting off in a prebuilt nation, or wandering in from the wild! Visiting settlements, other nations, or simply exploring the land will help your character start off their adventure sweepingly! There is much to do and lots of time! Apply with your character today and good luck!
