[Project][Pay] MMORPG in Minecraft? That's what I plan to do...

Jonchun · Jan 30, 2012

Hello everyone!

I am planning to start up a new mmorpg (minecraft-based) that will be economy-based and include classes. I will need plugins that can create a custom class system, use a leveling system, etc. (I am not too interested in using a pre-existing plugin...

Note: BEFORE YOU CONTINUE READING, YOU AGREE TO NOT USE THIS IDEA/THEME IN ANOTHER SERVER, OR YOU CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU DO SO.

Update: Due to the "shady" sounding nature of my original post, I will be posting parts of my idea on here. If you as a dev can make this happen, please reply or pm me!

This server will be based on a solid economy system.
The layout of the server will consist of multiple towns spread apart from each other (Perhaps 500-1000 blocks). Each town will also have different "specialties" depending on its theme. For example, a castle will have lots of forges, and therefore iron will be cheap whereas things like wood and coal will be expensive. In a forest-town, iron will be rare but wood will be plentiful and coal will be cheaper due to less smelting. (The prices will be set using AdminShops. The "reasons" for the prices differing are purely from a logical/storyline standpoint and has nothing to do with actual gameplay). This system makes it seem like it's very easy to earn money and the economy will eventually inflate and the server will die, but there's a catch...
There will be 3 different Classes. (denoted by ranks using Permissions) and ONLY merchants can use these shops in order to buy for cheap and sell for more in a different city. Thieves and hunters will not have access to the "buy" areas and only have access to a separate blackmarket where anyone can buy/sell (prices will be player determined in this market)
=========== Classes =============
Merchant:
- Can buy/sell stuff. This can lead to insane riches, but is also a very risky business. Should always hire hunters to guard them on journeys.
Hunter:
- This is a PvP based class. They can make money by charging merchants for their protection, but their main source of income will be by hunting down thieves. Every time they kill a thief, they receive a flat bounty as well as a bonus bounty depending on how "notorious" the thief is.
Thief:
- This is also a PvP based class. They get money by killing merchants/hunters. They take whatever is dropped and sell it at a separate market only for thieves. (made of admin shops) This allows thieves to gain considerable wealth depending on their pvp skills.

=========== Plugins =================
I think most of the world will be protected (like towns and stuff) but there will be wilderness (similar to towny).
There will have to be custom plugins that force classes to wear a different type of hat. That way, you can easily tell which members are in which class.

some other stuff goes here... Any questions?
