Vovik

This looks pretty cool.
 
Should be a rank feature tho. For diamond rank or emerald.
 
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEMON!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Considering that you can get $50 from winning a monster hunt which is really easy with the lack of people who compete for monster hunts through out the day. 1 to 1 ratio is more then fair to compensate the players who benefit the server by voting.

i like this plugin and would love to see it implemented on this server however you can make the abilities/traits purchasable with coins/tokens or as a rank reward

~Hey all~
Uni here to once again find out what you guys need ^.^ My glitter gun is charged and ready to decorate the crap outta some madness XD So, if you have any issues you notice on the server or have questions PLEASE be polite and post it here. No crazy bologna stuff k? ^.^ I'd hate having to feed people to bears... or nick lol. Ok Peace! Love you all! Stay fabulous!!

i would like to see /sethome as a perk for the /shop up to a max of 10 total at 200 tokens a piece. i know that with the iron rank you get 5, and that can stay the same but add a max of 5 that you can buy from the /shop

I don't know a thing about the coding but I'm sure with enough of it, anything could be possible. PvP during Monster Hunt during a certain planned week sounds like a fun time!
Fork said there should be some plugins that allow each player to toggle PvP on or off for themselves. I think this is what he is talking about. Read the features on there! I think it would be perfect to use for this server!  But if that is used, I personally would like either a list of those participating or a list of those not. Just so I don't go sprinting after someone, hit them on the head with my sword, and be like "Oh. Sup?" XD But again, I don't know how the coding works or how much effort our coder would be willing to put forth to make it possibly happen. It is not a necessity either though. I think it would be pretty funny actually. Lol! With this plugin I think it would be possible to keep PvP enabled all the time or only during Purge hours. But that isn't for me to decide. Just putting my opinion out there. I would love to hear others.
But I'll stress my feeling about the Hardcore server again... I don't like the fact that you can grief... If Towny and other plugins were put it, awesome! I just like to keep my stuff safe without worry. I could care less about the stuff I am caring. I know better than to go out in PvP with all my perfectly enchanted mining gear but that is what outposts are for! EDIT: Maybe we should get some of the current Hardcore players in on this forum post. XD
That goes for the regular server as well. If PvP would be enabled all the time, (if I owned my own town) I would make sure to purchase outposts in the Mining world where I can mine without worry of PvP. Towns could easily purchase outposts in the Mining world for their residents to mine in. The best part about it, it comes with a warp command to instantly take you there! Then the mining world also resets every month but the outposts should stay right where they are, so each town can continue to mine in their own little place. I'm sure there would be a fight over the Extreme Hills biomes though. XD

I feel obliged to put in my bit.
I, for example, abhor the thought of pvp unless we are totally on equal ground, such as fist to fist, no weapons no armor. Other than that, I would kind of like the Idea of Pvp, as many of you mentioned, it would create more of a sense of "survival" part of the Survival. 
I have an Idea. What if the Hardcore Server was, as it is, entirely pvp; but also add things that Survival has such as mcMMO and such. 
I would, personally, like the idea of having certain "Teams". Once you join a team, members of your "Team" can't hurt you, and yet you can grief the other team and such. you could build towns and even cities that are secured. Now I could get into that

To throw my own opinion in on this.  I think you have a great thought going on Vovik.  Survival is about building and surviving with people from all over.  I think, instead of changing the whole survival experience, there should be some sort of a factions server created.  Whether it be full on factions, or just a survival with pvp and griefing, I think there should be some sort of server for that.  This will allow players to play survival, and survive with nothing but their hands to begin with, but also bring more excitement to the game.

vovik makes a good point however there are simple plugins for flagging pvp on and off for those who do and do not want to pvp

I too would like to see a bit more PvP. I'll use a server I used to play on as an example. On that server, players were protected in towns that had PvP turned off. Once you stepped outside of a non-PvP chunk, you were fair game. Items dropped and the player who killed you could make off with your things. I don't think this peaceful server could ever be like that server. However like others mentioned, if items were not to drop on a PvP death, it wouldn't be so bad. (You could probably make it purchasable with Tokens.) Camping should obviously be against the rules. But in my opinion PvP outside of non-PvP towns wouldn't be too much for this server to handle. I don't think the current players would go out and kill each other all the time. It would just be a nice option to have.
Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I understand about the Hardcore server there aren't any rules really... Not having Towny is a major concern of mine and is why I refuse to play on the Hardcore server. It's just the two survival servers are like night and day. Two extremes. One being really peaceful and the other very hostile. I'd like to see a happy medium. I want to be able to keep my stuff safe while feeling a little on edge when I leave the safety of my town.
Joining a town on this server is extremely easy with how friendly everyone is so I don't see any issues with anyone keeping themselves and their items safe. Plus the auto-lock chests and the non-griefing rule. Players can keep themselves safe by locking themselves up in their homes with a locked door that isn't even a part of a town. But again, even if PvP is enabled I don't see it becoming a huge issue with all the friendly players.

So just some ideas... Maybe PvP could only be available at certain times or in certain worlds. Such as only in the Nether, End, and/or Mining worlds. Or maybe only during one week of the month and call it the Purge. Towns would still be safe zones. With the Purge idea you could even keep score of how many kills a player got and award a small prize at the end of the week. Although there would be the chance of people exploiting that with friends so it should only be a small prize. A couple diamonds or a little bit of cash?
I'll keep throwing out ideas as I think of them. Hopefully one of them will catch some interest. 

the Purge. 
I do not care much for pvp myself but this is not a bad idea for those that are interested. Having a set time, which would have to extend for a couple days, so everyone has the opportunity to participate, would be a good idea to let the ones interested in pvp get their fix while keeping others safe. Or we could even add it as a extra thing to Monster Hunts or something, enable it for a week but only during Monster Hunts. People can hide in their homes or somewhere that is safe during the night then feel free to explore during the day....

We have no plans to add item rewards to the ranks, as we feel that it would create an unfair economic advantage.
