Author Topic: BlockHub (Final Update)  (Read 15867 times)

I think it's a good idea to be worried about age, but most users here are not 18+. You should lower the requirement to like 14 or something. Plus you should have some sort of test of maturity because a lot of users on here are just complete idiots regardless of their age.

Note to everyone: There is no age limit. I am not choosing people only 18+ or whatever. Maturity, however, IS looked at. There is a connection between age and maturity. Apologies for any misunderstandings. I have removed putting your age as being mandatory.

Good. Also, you could just have a message chat with them, no need to call, that doesn't really matter.

Agreed.

Also, just out of curiousity, I would like to know why people think BlockHub is a good name and not Blockland Resort and vice-versa.

I also have some other suggestions to make this server more of its own thing from BL tower. There could be one central building where all the server things are, but there should be an exit to the outside where players could build whatever they want. Building is the central theme of Blockland after all. Or if you don't just want it to be an all out freebuild, you could assign lots for people to build on. That way people are not limited to a small room. There could also be a room on the inside of the main building that displays dupes of some of the better builds on the server.

I will be keeping my eye on this project because it seems like it could be something with a lot of potential.

Haha, pretty much the idea I've been having. Like I said in the first post, a central area would exist where all the gamemodes are located. Basically, different structures house different mechanics/things. I was planning for there to be, instead of a standard hotel, lots/houses that you could buy. I suppose it could work a bit like the standard CityRPG's I keep seeing. But, again, nothing's final. That might change (just like the whole "hotel" thing I said in the first post). Thanks for the input though! It's much appreciated!

City RPGs tend to be a grindfest. While I think that lots should be free, I also think there should be a currency earned from playing minigames in the main building. And then there should be rewards you can buy with said currency. I also think there should be a sort of "like" system where if people "like" your build then you get some of that currency. Hats may be one of the things that are buyable with the currency. Or maybe you have to unlock access to certain minigames with the currency.

Oh and here's my admin application

•IGN (In-game name as well as your BL ID):
Blueblur
BL_ID 27046

•Prior instances where you have been admin:
I have only been admin on my own servers, but I have made some pretty good servers in my opinion back when maps were still in the game

•Age (This is optional.):
14

•Answer the following question. A fellow Blocklander is arguing with another about kill-stealing. How do you stop the argument from continuing while being polite?:
If he was kill stealing on purpose to make people angry then that's one thing. But if the guy was just trying to play the game and not paying attention to if he was stealing kills, then it's not his fault.

•Answer the following question. A Blocklander is chat spamming. What do you do to get him/her to stop?:
I would warn him/her to stop. If the spammer does not comply with my warning, then I will ban them. If the rules don't specify the ban time, then I will ban them for a day and see if they can play without being a nuisance to the server tomorrow.

•Do you know any other languages (fluently)?:
No

•Skype and/or Steam:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/112198

•Why do you want to be admin?:
Because I see this project as having a lot of potential to become a very fun server. I don't usually apply for admin in servers, but this server seems different. It's not just another DM or RP, it's a new idea.

•Finally, to make sure you have read thoroughly, what is the goal of this server?:
The goal of this server is to create a server where people can socialize and hang out and do things like play mini games and build.

The "like" system is a great idea, actually! Lots being free will most likely be a thing as well, although, currently, I'm a bit skeptical about it. The buying access to minigames would be an interesting thing to add, however, if a person only likes said game, they would have to "grind". Not sure how I feel about that. I might test it for a while once I get a map finished. Also, thanks for the application

I have an idea for the lots. How about the FIRST lot is free, but in order to have a separate lot you would need to pay a certain amount of currency to make sure you're not just spamming all the lots.

I was thinking 1 lot=1 person. That makes it not only easier to find your friend's "house", but it denies lot spamming. Making the secondary lots costing money wouldn't change much.

I also have some ideas for the main building. Inside it there should be rooms that don't really serve a purpose but are just fun to have. Like maybe an indoor swimming pool or a basketball court.

I'll keep it in mind

Once again, I am gonna say this. Why? If you are already testing maturity, things should be fine. I don't understand why age matters, it's like saying the same thing with bl_ids.. "You must have an id of 30k or lower or you are a noob and you cannot join"

Good point.

Oh and stuff I forgot my BL_ID in the admin app.

Haha,  it's fine.  Just be sure to edit your app and put it in.
