I mean this to be a different world, Sting. I agree that many people (such as you or myself!) play to build. Other people play to PvP. This world would be perfect for them while the Piratecraft we all know and love would stay as it is. This other, seperate world could be a fully built with forts, desert islands, port cities, etc.

Heck, Godsy could run competitions on the creative server and whoever wins gets their island or ship or whatever placed in the new PirateCraft world!

The good thing about this would be that the world wouldn’t get uglified with newbie pillars, griefing, etc. There would be no such thing as a “siege-proof” base. Pre-built bases and towns that are captured by pirate crews would always have weaknesses built into them to make sieges fun. Ship battles would be a daily occurrence because there would be no teleporting and everyone would be sailing around in ships! Valuables would be stored in NPC banks (limited space) and for pirate crews to be able to keep more loot, they either have to kit out ships with chests or conquer keeps with storehouses. Or maybe even bury the treasure somewhere like a true pirate.

And as for building bases Solid, it kind of defeats the point because that’s exactly what we do on normal PiratCraft. But it would be cool to have secret islands in the middle of nowhere with forts you can claim capture-the-flag style for example!

Heh, I haven’t thought out every aspect in detail. There could be ship upgrades or something that give you more chests? I don’t know. I also don’t know how you could bury treasure without digging up the landscape. Maybe there would be random chests placed around? 😛 You could also give player some leeway with certain things, such as allowing players to plant seeds on farmland, etc. Just not let them change or destroy the hand-crafted landscape around them (at least permanently). This is what would drive the economy. As an economy- and crew- focused world, the point would be to participate in economic activities, not build forts and bases. Players who want to do that should stick with normal PirateCraft.

Yeah, I agree dungeons, bonus kits for holding certain areas and stuff would be really awesome. There is a lot you can add to it. I just threw this idea out there to see what people think. Hayden suggested a world with a strong focus on crews, this would be one possibility. It would be a totally unique concept in the whole of Minecraft! The idea would obviously need testing, however.

I do of course want to see normal PirateCraft stay as it is, haha! 🙂

sting.the new world will have npc shops that will trade you a none-stacable custem item for money but there is another shop in another side of the world that trades that item for more money. “Money” is what makes the world go round and round right? well in this case “money” will make players go on ships round and round. its a good way to make easy money Butt!you take the risk of getting you’re stuff taken by pirates.who will actually steal like pirates….if you want protection either you pay a fee to the navy so they keep the watter’s clean (the navy been the BE and the EE if they were to do that) or you go on a gruop becuase “safty in numbers” just like the real merchants.and also you could pay for a crew tell them If you do good and stay loyal i’ll allowing you too work with me and make money if you protect me and the merchantdise.snice it keeps the risk of being raided the shops back in this world wont be affected and some players can even make small shops in the sea for hungry merhcnats pirates and navy. and every merhcant will have a “keepoutside system” wer they open the doors too only the most trusted of custermors.sorry for the grammar but godsdeads idea is perfect but he hasent reviled how the islands will look and thats the fun part you get too imagen it XD

a couple questions-

what would the currencey for the traded custom item be? (gold emeralds etc.)

would there be NPC robbers/helpers?

will the livemap be active for players to be seen? if not, it makes it a lot more dangerous :3

I think it should be allies vs enemies

The elves could team with the British 🙂 won’t with other allies.

Not to shoot any ideas down, but the next map/server is a games server, from what I’m hearing.

i remeber back in the day with solid dg i use to go for weeks sailing the seas claiming land as ours (we never claimed the ship we were allways scared someone would robe us) i was such a noob but i in joid every part even the part when java first raided me ;-; .this “New World” is so everyone is a a “Nobb” wanting to sail all around the world on just one “ship and raid people not becuase you hate them not becuase you’re at war but becuase thy have treasure” ~words of seusssempai 😀

Sorry if anyone felt a bit offended it’s not intended and I’m just super confused is it mini games or is it large oceans with lots of little islands with no tpa or have I been reading all the posts on this matter wrong.
