    tl;dr at the bottom

    Hey guys.

    After a great many failures in attempting to create a professional "Main" server (mostly because of school + parents) I've decided I'm going to make an Anarchy server. (Do whatever you want without client mods)

    The idea is to encourage conflict between players without directly telling them to beat each-other up. I want to maintain the true freedom that comes with an anarchy server.

    Here's a list of plugins I drafted up last night, along with notes on each one as to what their use is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuGRH-ad_jEUdE1rdTVydEpWRTcwYkdzb1BXSWY3YkE

    What I need help with is donator benefits and ideas for the server. My main goal is to make donator benefits purely cosmetic with a few possible exceptions.

    Also, if I forgot anything crucial in that list, please let me know.

    tl;dr

    I need ideas for donator benefits on an anarchy server without giving anyone an inherent advantage over everyone else. Purely aesthetic benefits are preferred, but honestly, anything works.

    Any and all help would be most appreciated! :D

    Changed the thread title because I think I was asking a little.... Yeah.

    Basically just need ideas for donator benefits. Can anyone help me out?

    It's an anarchy server. Diners get a stack of 64 TNT for every 10 dollars they donate. Or, write a plugin that gives them one smite for each donation (use wisely). Or, give them funny hats like Team Fortress.

    Thanks for the reply among a lack of replies! :D

    I'm trying to negate pay-to-win situations (as a lot of games I play do that and it pisses me off) so I'd really like to try and keep things mostly aesthetic. However, TNT isn't a horrible idea.... :p

    And yeah, silly hats was one of the things I was intending on doing.

    Sadly, you can't implement silly hats without a client mod like Spout which will limit your player base. The closest thing you can do is silly chat titles (almost as good).

    Blockhead works for silly hats.

    And the ability to rename yourself will be a feature, I guess I just forgot to add it to the list.

    Check out mine. Mine is not an anarchy server but I agree with pay-to-win being unfair and greedy. I'd hold back on the multiple /sethomes from that list, if you're thinking about that, because my players use the extra home to /home into someone's base and torment them... I'm still thinking of a way to solve this without pissing off those who donated exclusively for this. :mad:

    I don't think I'll be having ANY homes, actually. Too abusable for an anarchy server. Perhaps to solve your problem you can make it so homes must be within a certain radius from eachother? Maybe you should just take away multiple homes and provide compensation to those who donated...

    Your list did remind me to add changing display names to the list. Thanks :p

    Yeah I thought you might not want homes, haha. :D

    Another tip: set Orebfuscator to engine mode 2 if your machine can handle it. It's almost 100% effective.

    Give them spells with 1 usage / day.
    Spells like heal, repair, item spawn.
