While cruising around the Internet for various Minecraft tips, I came across this beast of a post on the Minecraft Forums:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=82734&start=630
(Warning: its quite long)
Basically, it outlines strategies for large scale faction-based PvP worlds, including fortesses, stealth, cannons, etc. Now, as one of those people who always gets bored with the single player experience (mine to get resources, so you can mine better, or build bigger, so you can... idk really) and finds the traditional multiplayer servers to chaotic and just plain ugly, this sounded like exactly the Minecraft experience I've been looking for.
So I checked around a bit on the web and couldn't find any servers just like the type he seemed to be talking about. I've found plenty of PvP servers, but could only find one with two official factions. The others were all every-man for himself type deals. And the one with factions I found had a rule against destroying the other teams buildings, which seemed kind of pointless.
So, Escapists, I have two questions:
1) Does anyone here know of good, open, team based PvP servers? Any help would be appreciated.
2) What are your ideas for tactics or strategy for such a server? Discussion!
