I've played the creative world on this server for as long as I can remember. I'll admit I'm not super active, I use it occasionally to show friends from other servers my build ideas. The truth is I love towny servers! I don't know if its been requested before, but, I thought, if there's enough interest, maybe it can be implemented. Before I submit, here are just a few reasons I thought of for how a towny world would benefit Mineverse: 1. Expand Player Count: Towny servers are incredibly popular. It would attract a whole new genre of players to the server, and expand membership and server popularity. 2. Community Building Yes, towny is very similar to factions in terms of forming teamwork through survival. Factions enables players to team up and play together, socialize, build a base, but is focused on pvp. You have to build your base defensively, not aesthetically, and always worry about getting raided and fighting other factions. Towny isolates the survival teamwork through building towns and community, without focusing on the pvp. Disclaimer: I am NOT saying factions or pvp are bad and towny is good for not having it. In fact, a lot towny servers incorporate pvp if the owners want. Most towny's have pvp mode outside of town borders, and some even make it possible for nations (alliances of towns) to go to war with each other if they're kings declare it, which is just so much fun and also like factions on a larger scale. But, the point is, pvp is optional in towny, so you can focus on building an orderly, ungreifable survival community with friends without worrying about enemy factions raiding your house. 3. Promote Creativity And that brings me to my next point. Because you can build on plots in towns on survival mode, it allows players to show their skills in survival building. Its harder to build in survival than creative, and those who are good builders can show their skills in creative mode. But what about those who are great at building awesome structures in survival mode? They should get a chance to use that skill and be appreciated for it. 4. Helping Others Just like our creative world, towny allows players to add allies to their plots within the town and therefore you can help friends build. It's basically a combinations of the best parts of creative and faction worlds! 5. Increase Activity of Current Members I think a lot of members of Mineverse would love it! So many worlds in the server that are meant for other things have ended up becoming socially and community oriented. The creative world, for example, is meant for players to build amazing things on creative plots. But the players themselves developed relationships with their neighbors. They invented neat games to play together through the use of creative mode like skin contests, and role playing. But imagine how close you could be to your neighbors if you were helping each other in survival mode, and in an established community, being an official member of a town, you'll never be bored. 6. More Money Unfortunately, there are a lot of towny servers that are basically pay to win, but if its done right, Mineverse could make a lot of donation money through towny. The options for players to buy advantages in towny are unlimited, but a few I like, that don't make it unfair for other players, include paying for mob eggs/spawners, enchanted tools, and town buffs (example, more plots to expand town). I know play to win often makes it unfair, but like I said, if done right, its a win win situation. Players who are too lazy to grind for stuff can pay to save time, and Mineverse benefits monetarily. If you have any love for towny, other reasons why it would be a good addition to mineverse, or have some good reasons why it shouldn't be incorporated, please share your thoughts!
I would love to play on a towny server. I am one of the people that are good builders on survival so I definitely support this idea. I hope that it is considered
I don't think deleting survival would be a good idea because if it did it would make a lot of survivalists upset, but the working together survival idea definitely appeals to me.
I don't agree with deleting survival, that's unrelated. But I'm so glad anyone's interested in adding towny! Lets keep the thread going to get more attention on the subject, and maybe we can gain the notice of a mod or owner who can add it. What do you guys like about towny?
I like to entertain the thought of having a huge empire with a large army of people on my side. Having a huge castle structure and a town within would be really amazing.
That's entirely possible in towny! You can join a town, or start your own! Or join one and then start your own! As its mayor, you can name your town whatever you want. You can join a nation, remain a neutral town, or even become a king yourself by starting a nation to invite other towns to. Castles or great structures are very common spawns for large cities, especially if its the nations capital.
Sounds like minecraft's version of Skyrim. I'd love to be the king of my own empire. I can't recall if I've played on a towny server before, but its something I'm definitely into and I very much hope that this is added to mineverse. What commands do you think normal unranked citizens would require?
Aren't there already portal slots for new servers? I say that we give survival games a popularity boost instead of removing it. It's unrelated anyway but personally I enjoy survival games. It doesn't have too much popularity on mineverse for some reason.
I think there should be a vanilla survival world, and a towny world. They are completely different imo.
