Poll: My Minecraft Idea

[ABadOmen]

I had an idea just now (as i post this). A massive Minecraft RPG (i know there are mods but i mean a server) with npcs and quests and a huge explored area where people could kill stuff and get gold, this would be like Adventurecraft (awesome Mod) except multiplayer, with REAL npcs and WOW elements. You can't break blocks and monsters would level according to your overall level, Experience would be (more) useful and It would be an MMO. You could still craft items, but only at certain levels, and there would be multiple tiers of items, I think it would be awesome, what about you?

Edit: ALRIGHTY THEN!
I heard the Overall critisism and understand that this is the Shit... I understand the problem. It's Wow but in Blocks. So, in respones i'm going to ask this...
If you could change one thing about Minecraft, what would it be? (by the way, I love minecraft how it is, i was pitching an idea)

By the way, I do realize after careful thought, that there are servers like this, but i want real roleplay, not this, "I roleplay and everyone else does other crap in the background roleplay" and I love mods, I tried Tale Of Kingdoms, but i wanted a more multiplayer focus.

So WoW...but with a blocky aesthetic?

 

[retyopy]

Erm...

So WoW...but with a blocky aesthetic?

Exactly what he said.

And speaking as someone who doesn't really like WoW...

Mods, if that's your thing.

You can't break blocks

That's not Minecraft, that's a blocky MMORPG. Do not want.

 

[lacktheknack]

Um, that's just cuboid WoW. Where's the appeal in that?

 

[Kurai Angelo]

How... original.

Seriously though, you just sound like you're describing WoW set in Minecraft.

 

[WinkyTheGreat]

Meh. I like how it works now. Making it an MMO would remove the fun of building because some asshat would always come along and destroy your work.

There are servers like this, however you can still break blocks - though only in designated areas.
Breaking blocks is a part of Minecraft, and there really is little point to disallowing it. If you want to see something very similar to this, though again with restrictions on breaking blocks - not just a downright 'no' to it - check out the Lord of the Craft server.

... You can't break blocks ...

Well thats not minecraft. You want to make a really low level MMORPG that is playing off the minecraft aesthetic so it can get a pass for not looking good as the big boys or even the middle boys.

So, no, I dont, because its not minecraft in anything except name.

EDIT: And actually, just thinking about minecraft, even if monsters were level balanced to yours, you'd still get raped at night. and youd have to be giving something to start, cause if you cant mine to get resources, you cant get money except by doing tasks which, just looking at the achievements minecraft has now, you either need to mine and craft to do or just arent that impressive to do.

the main idea of MC is block moving, so, remove that, and why start with it as a base?

Thanks, for the server and the idea. When i thought of "No Breaking Crap" i was more thinking in a general term of Main areas such as Dungeons and Towns or Fortresses.

I do undertand that, and like most Rpgs you would get some decent starting gear, Such as a Bow some arrows a sword and starting armour.

More decorations. Mods and texture packs can only get you so far--when I build a house, I want to have stuff to put in it (apart from bookshelves you can't move once you place them).

I've seen them, But in my edit, that was one of the main servers where I wanted to roleplay but noone else would.

Well I wouldn't go with an overarching story that must be followd, because that doesn't fit Minecraft at all.

I would propose an Oblivion system where you just pick up quests and stories as you explore the world and meet people, and take on bigger stories with bigger areas.
And in Minecraft you can sprinkle in the whole questing aspect with creative goodness where you help build up villages, cities, castles, dams, crops, farms, spaceships, hollowed out volcanos, ....
But all of it still stays optional and won't cut into the normal game.
