Decided Against A PvP Oriented Server

The economy aspect of it was also really fun, especially in the early game when trading required you to trek with your valuables to meet whoever happened to be offering.

 

id say you could just add pvp zones/dimensions to already existing packs.
a modpack simply for pvp just isnt going to work, never has it worked out well, not even on the most popular servers.
most mc players dont enjoy pvp, its not what mc is about. and if they do want to pvp, they'll go to vanilla servers ment for pvp.

 

The idea of having a limit on the players you can attack, similar to the combat level system in Runescape, may also be an option to avoid newb-stomping.

 

While i like that idea, having a seperate world could lessen the chance of finding anyone. The Farmworld is alright, but it lacks the structures and dungeons that appear in the overworld (for some reason, i think there would be a fix in 1.10 about that). But, having an overworld with a two areas could be a solution. Around the standard world border that MyM has for all servers would be the build area where factions could set up shop, but you could walk past that into a no-claim zone (aka Wilderness) where the difficulty curve spikes every few hundred blocks with mobs becoming tougher and loot becoming more rewarding up to about however far the actual world border is.

The red zone would be the normal 7kx7k world border on other servers, where you could claim and build. However extending past that is a no-claim zone, not necessarily a nobuild zone, but anything built in that area is up for grabs. Toward the edge is where the world border would be.

 

I'd love to see mobs end up being more powerful then fully geared potioned-up players toward the edge of the map.

 

Sure there is, it happens all the time with player bases.

 

Would it be a problem? I'm sure the spawns can be tweaked while loading in the world. You could prevent spawning while loading in the normal area, then turn it back on to load the wilderness area

 

Feasible, but I don't think any mods exist to do this specifically, so the work would have to be done especially for this.

 

Can I steal from you in this hypothetical mod pack?

 

the way Civilization worked is that when outside of your claim, if you were to die your grave would be fair game. However, normal rules apply for griefing

 

That's a shame I want to burn peoples homes to the ground and paint my face with the ashes.

 

Although i'm pretty sure if you built outside of a claim it should be fair game as well. Abusing the no-griefing rule by building bases without claims shouldn't be allowed and that'd offer a simple solution.
