Hello Everyone! I would like to as what you think of the possibility of an AEM modded server. I believe many players would very much enjoy this addition to the network. To support the new server, Alex could charge for admittance. For example, a one-time donation of $25, or a monthly fee of $5 for access. I highly suggest that ranks are not implemented, due to the already paid entry, and to give players an equal chance to succeed. I would like your suggestions on what modpack would be best, on factors of tech, magic, nature, and optimization. The modpack should be playable by people that don't have a super high tech monster of a computer, but have enough in it that it is not just vanilla with a few new items. My suggestions are FTB Infinity, HermitCraft Modsauce, Or Etho's Custom Modpack. Please respond below with your thoughts on whether or not AEM Network should have a modded server, aswell as suggest modpacks for the new server.
I am not too sure on this one. I would like to see it happen but I don't think there would be enough people playing. I think they will just stick to skyblock or whatever they play
Yes, I know we had ftb at one point, but it was when I had taken a break due to the amount of hackers that had come online. I never got to know why it was ended; would you please enlighten me?
It was a monthly fee to play on it and no one played on it so it was better to cut it before it costed us. It's Feed The Beast, a mod pack launcher just like technic
I would play mods but im not allowed to download anything else and anyway I'd end up sticking to skygrid
AEM is just treading water at this point. I would like to see the mini games brought back if anything.
Not enough people would be able to handle that much stuff on their computer Also, AEM (imo) need to work on OP Prison, That is going to have a lot of players I can guarantee
Just before I made this thread, I was on skyblock. I asked who would play on a modded server, with the current community, and many people said they would gladly pay $20-$30 to do so. Player's perspectives have changed over time, and I think it would be a good move to atleast try a new modded server.
i think theyd have to work on other servers and geting op prison open before they start working on it
I will say a few things about this, and keep in mind this is just another persons opinion. Here are some down sides. If AEM were to launch a modded MC server they would have lots of problems, mostly with the community playing it. If they were to make it a modpack such as ByteSize or something else small, then people with big computers would complain about it not being a big enough pack, whilst if they made it too big such as Crazycraft 2 then people with small computers would not be able to play. Another thing is that if they were to host this, they would need to have some devs come in to get all of the items that could be used for grief, and ban them ( for example: any modpack with MRF, the rocket launcher can be used to blow up peoples bases. ) This would also require recruiting a lot of new staff, and training the new staff, because old staff would need new training on how to deal with such modded stuff. The cost of course, hosting a modded Minecraft server is not cheap, if they were to do it, it would require lots of space on a dedicated server, which again, is not cheap. Here are some upsides. It would expand the network to a new community that has never even heard of AEM, more players, more minions for @AlexM850. If we were to add things like "Creative Energy Cell" and other creative mode only items, we could sell them for small amounts of money to help the server stay alive, therefor we could even make more money off it to help the other main servers. More people would be voting, meaning that more people would hear about AEM Network. A modded Minecraft server would just be plain fun for a lot of people, and bringing enjoyment to others is a plus, I think. My over all choice is that we should try to bring out a Modded MC server, but we should do a list of mediocre modpacks, so nothing large such as but nothing too small like bytesize. (I will give some suggestions down below.) We should also make it into a subnetwork, make its costs and payment its own deal, if it cannot pay for its self, it doesn't stay alive, but if it makes enough money, to not put that money into the main Vanilla, but maybe upgrade the server / add more modded MC servers. Same owner, but have new staff, and make nothing carry over. This is my opinion on the subject, if you want to talk more, start a conversation here on forums. Here are some survival type modpacks I suggest: (Notice: All are 1.7 unless said so) Maybe FTB Infinity (a little on the more heavy side) The Dark Trilogy Mage Quest Tech world (1.6) Vanilla Overhaul (1.6) Karma Big Dig Technic Lite Attack of the B-Team (Also a little heavy) Mech and Magic (I personally don't know this pack that well, but I heard good things about it) Here are some more arcadeish type of modpacks: SkyFactory 2 CrashLanding MadPack2 Agrarian Skies Blast Off Regrowth Material Energy ^3 Material Energy ^4 Magic Island (This is not on any launcher, but in a few forevers if they decide to do this, it will probably be on a launcher) (I can't find a good #10 so I might edit one in later) What about survival games? It makes no money, and nobody like every plays it...
Very well thought out. I would enjoy a modded server but there is the fact that then forums would be spammed with people not knowing how. Then also the size of it. To big too small and a modded server would be difficult to start up and get working.
And also it seems that many people want prisons,ctf and tdm to come back so it would be along time before they would start working or a modded server.
How I see it is that we have two options, bring back old stuff, or bring back other new old stuff. We should if we are given the chance to choose, have a poll, and have majority rule play a hand here.
