      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Offline] Open Forum TFC Community Server

15 posts in this topic

Hey guys so this is my first post on the forums and I am here to announce that I am turning my private server public.

First a little history on the server, we are a small community of three people that all know each other in RL. We have played on several worlds so far and have enjoyed our experience. However, all of our worlds have lacked the bigger sense of a community. Three people can only do so much to simulate all of what TerraFirmaCraft has to offer. This is why I wish to turn this server public, to grow a community that is governed by an open forum.

This is exactly what I intend to do, only one of the rules have been decided. This is to use a whitelist so we can protect the community we have created.

The vision is to create an open forum community in which we discuss what rules we would like to have in place before we actually join the world. We can decide how we spawn the world, how to up keep it, the community rules if any, ops if any, the server properties, etc etc. If you feel like it is a topic of discussion that pertains to the world then it is open for discussion.

I will be running a dedicated server that will open in about two weeks. Hopefully this will be long enough for a community to get started and form itself. I truly want this to be a sandbox world with the most diversity on it as possible. This is what I feel like our private server is lacking and the sole reason why I am making it public. It is a completely sandbox world waiting for us the community to shape it. If this sandbox idea interests you any then this is the server for you. Nothing has been decided we are waiting for community input!

I normally am able to chat through skype.

Name: Lord.Brutii

However, if there is an easier medium of communication I am open to using it. I just do not know of another one.

Hey Kimbblesrath, thanks for the enthusiasm! While I have not taken part in these forums up until now, I have been an avid reader of a lot of the threads and a great deal of the server threads. I have seen your posts and I am glad I was able to attract a forum regular to the idea of an open forum governed server. I am trying to create a whole new experience not akin to any server on here at them moment. The best part about what we are doing is that the group of people that want to join this world can create whatever process they want for others to join. We will all have to go through the same process gain access to the world (Myself included). We will as a group go over all of the applications if that is what we choose to do but everything will be done in an open forum type format with a quorum and such.

If you want to get into contact with me on skype to discuss this world more please add me.

Name: Lord.Brutii

Huh. Very interesting. So what you are saying is a truly democratic style server. You are right. It is completely unique from anything I have seen before in terms of servers, and truly intriguing. I will be watching. :)

Yes, I want the server to be in the hands of the community that is living within the world.

I am hoping to have a small community started before the world even launches, for the idea truly to be a success. If I add you to the list of people (assuming you want to be ;) ) then we would have four people already.

Very interesting.

Almost the same thing i had in mine, and was searching for....the reason i dedicated a server also, but without a white-list.

I'd like to see where this goes :)

How many slots can the server handle?

Would be cool if many people could work on building a big town where everyone can live and prosper...help each other master TFC.

Even get new ideas for the devs to make it even better.

Well the reason for the whitelist is just because my private server is being upgraded and we want to keep the new equipment safe. That being said I would like to say the server could theoretically hold around 50-75. But again that is something that we could all decide before the world and choose to revisit as the world progresses.

I personally would like to help create and found a settlement where players can live and help others if they chose too(maybe it could house the actual community forum?). It is all open for discussion between the community, we have about 1-2 weeks before the server gets fully constructed. Plenty of time to decide some of these things as players join up. I am thinking about making a skype group/IRC channel so we can already start the forum process. That will of course be open to anyone that wants to join and lend their opinion in a constructive way.

I really like this idea, and you can count on me for it.

Some ideas i have that could be in the server:

If you want to start a new town you have to do three things, first you have to establish the location of the town, two you have to show the building style the town will follow, just so we dont have horrible mixes of styles in the same spot, and three you have to make a road which leads to the capital.

This could make the server feel like a true community.

Hey i would like to build in this style,well come to my city, Great! where is it?, just follow the road

Our server is going to be up and running faster than I thought it will be open in a week at latest. Tomorrow, after the New Year's I am will set up a chat on skype and try and get as many people on it as possible so we can discuss some of what we want this world to be. It would be nice to have as much input as possible so we can generate some good ideas.

Happy New Years!

To All, I have created the chat group for the server on skype if you want to lend your ideas and opinions feel free to join in on the discussion. You do not even have to join the world afterwards if you do not want to. If you want to be added to this discussion just PM me your username and I can add you.

Hey guys I just wanted to post an update our server is getting ready to open up, we are currently deciding how the world will operate right now. If an open forum democracy world is something that interests you then this is the world for you. We haven't started the world yet, but it will be started in at most 3 days.

I've been playing TFC for a few months now and have set up my own private server as well. Unfortunately I do not have many friends that play Minecraft, so having my own community of my own friends hasn't worked out. Since TFC can become pretty lonely fairly quickly, I've decided to begin looking for a server or two to join on the forums here. At first glance it seems like this server might fit well with my TFC personality. (Which to be honest is just my RL personality. ;) ) So if you are still looking for people to join, I'm interested.
