Okay.
So I'm basically looking towards this kind of format:
[color=#FFA500][b]Peanut[/b][/color] is the rank after completing the walk-through.
Commands/abilities will be minimal.. [i]I'll need to go over all the plugin commands and do more detailed list for each rank.[/i]
[b]Then[/b] the next rank is achieved by something.. perhaps a challenge (which could be different every so often if we have enough talented individuals who can keep that going) This rank will then have the capability of deciding which faction to be in. The ranks after that, will be relative to the faction.
Remember 'Merchant' is far too much a name for someone who makes a living in trade and has a shop etc... it should only be an option, not a prerequisite. I don't know who originally thought of the current ranks, but they don't really work. I've tried to bend them to make more sense since I took responsibility for the server.
The leaders of each faction will be nominated by staff for a final vote which all players can contribute to. Or something along those lines... perhaps each faction has a different system for this. For instance, the [size=x-small]dark/evil/naughty/not really nice[/size] faction's leader is decided by a challenge.. nothing as simple as a pvp battle.. but along those lines.
So to clarify, the neutral faction will be protected and cannot PVP, while the other two factions are usually at war with each other. There will be areas where even they cannot PVP, so full protection at spawn and where ever else we deem it necessary.. like in shops and other stuffs.
[color=#FFA500][b]Moderators[/b][/color]... well.
They won't have godmode at all as we deem it completely unnecessary and unfair. I'm not really interested in limiting their power to factions... they will be like any other player, but with moderation commands and a [b][color=#FF0000][[/color][color=#FF6347]Mod[/color][color=#FF0000]][/color][/b] in their prefix.
I'm thinking each faction has their own mob they can morph into... just a thought. It's easy to do, technically. Donators will continue to have full DisguiseCraft in the Creative world.
BlockHat is simple and will be available to donators in every world. It is not possible to BlockHat a block from Creative and transfer it to another world, nor is it possible to remain disguised on world change. If players have the ability to disguise as their faction's mascot or whatever, it won't be every player probably... perhaps it's like the grand achievement reward, or maybe only one player from each faction can ever do it and that gift is rotated between players somehow. Some cool ideas as I sit here typing this...
Major and I uploaded and imported the final Asyr world today, and it looks pretty awesome. We need to finalise everything still. I advise no one get their hopes up and don't start predicting when it'll be ready.
Name ideas need to keep coming, but I can write the groups up temporarily with basic names.
We need lots of talent.. I want to see Asyr scattered with challenges and quests and shit. Each will have the ability to create something in Creative or to transfer something from their own server at home or whatever. Of course, not everyone will get to see their work published on Asyr for all to try out. We will judge them and assign them into categories by difficulty. Ideally, stuff will be rewarded to those who complete the challenge. We can easily do this with ServerSigns.
On the matter of building/mining on Asyr... well mostly, it won't be regioned.. but I want staff with logblock and snapshot permissions to clean the place up every so often.
Hmm.. i'll add to this thread as I go.
