A small group of friends and I have been working on our curated Modpack for a couple of weeks now on our private server. We come from old school full loot PvP mmorpgs like Asherons Call so we wanted to make something a little more difficult and punishing but equally rewarding than the base game. Unfortunately, we've come to the realization quickly that killing and looting your besties is only fun for so long… "Commence the slaying of strangers.. Huzzah!"
Terrible viking jokes aside, We've spent many hours customizing and configuring our modpack and changing a few core game mechanics like crafting recipes for portals and wards to suit a PvP environment where more player interactions are forced. You need other players to kill the world bosses, you need friends to escort you carting loads of iron back to your base. PvP is forced globally but there are a host of zones with curated restrictions like no PvP, no building ect. There are a lot more unique and balanced mechanics we've implemented but that's not the purpose of this postt just yet.
I'm putting this our there to see if there are PvP focused vikings that would enjoy playing on a fresh new world server should we choose to host it publicly. We would also be looking for builders that would enjoy helping us build our starter towns that will be designated safe zones for new comers, moderators for discord chat and game server admins to punish cheaters. Everyone would be starting from ground zero on launch day, DM me if interested.
