We're online! Feel free to join!
158.69.172.160
Starting a new server - Aestivia Online, run by Adam "p4zza", and myself "trashi" Server costs will be handled about 50-50 when possible, to ease cost of server maintenance
Start off - 8 or 12 slots (+2 reserve for Staff)
Likely hosting - Fluctis, nfo, ownagehosting, multiplay
Domain purchased; aestivia.com (website to be made still)
We encourage all our veteran grid players to come and join us as we start a new server, for joining, we're introducing and offering a new rank: Legacy to all our old players. We'll also be sending out a mass email to all members who have their email publicly displayed inviting them to join our new server upon launch, providing minor details, and the IP to our server which will also be posted here upon launch.
If your interested in joining the server, drop a comment and let us know!
All of you who we've talked to about his already or are involved I encourage to post to let others know who's involved or coming back.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask I will try to answer them within 24 hours!
NEW Features
AutoRank - New ranks/titles to strive for, no longer will you have to wait for an administrator for something you've earned. This may also include rewards apart from titles based on milestones achieved to keep everyone interested on what comes next.
More VIP Updates & Price adjustments - Still a WIP but have a glance at the VIP info below and you'll notice some changes
Nether and End resets - Tired of the end being controlled by factions? Get a chance of getting in every cycle! (cycle determined to be between 1 week to 1 month will poll at a later date)
Plugin Rotations - We'll be changing some plugins here and there every week or two to change up gameplay and offer new and interesting things for players to try out and keep things fresh.
More to be added, not adding more unless they are GOING to happen to the top of this post.

User Group Ideas
Default Veteran (joined 1 year ago or 300+ hours playtime) Skilled Adept Expert Master Legacy (Grid and Populous Members Only) VIPT1-VIPT6 Banker(?) Mod VetMod Admin Owner
e.g. ~Aestivia [VIPT3][Expert] UsernameHere ~Aestivia [VIPT5][Mod] UsernameHere
Note:
Staff titles are displayed over other titles; no ~Aestivia Faction [VIPT3][Expert][Admin] UsernameHere instead would be displayed as ~Aestivia Faction [VIPT3][Admin] UsernameHere note how long these names will be with Faction prefixes
These names are too long and will result in every line of text typed taking at least 2 lines of text.
VIP Prefixes might be different, either replacing their VIP tag, or extra tag, but never their staff tag if a member of staff
e.g. usernamehere is VIPT6 and has custom tag ~ Aestivia [Tactful][Mod] UsernameHere
If this becomes an issue we'll remove World Prefixes from people, at least until/if we have multiple worlds where it becomes necessary
- Staff titles must be shown at all times for members of staff - VIP tags or misc. tags can be used for custom VIP prefixes by choice of VIP - Avoid use of over 2 tags displayed before a player name where possible
Prefix color ideas as of now *MAY CHANGE*
&a&b&c&d&e&f &1&2&3&4&5&6&7&8&9&0
BRACKETS
[Member]
[Banker]
[Veteran] - potentially identical to legacy apart from status
[Legacy] - forum status, maybe a few small extras not much though
[Mod] - teleport, tempban, mute, kick, jail
[VetMod] - ban, mute, kick, jail, tempban, banip, broadcast
[Admin] - most except permissions, mv, and some specifics
[Owner]
[VIPT1] [VIPT2] [VIPT3] [VIPT4] [VIPT5] [VIPT6]
[Skilled]
[Adept]
[Expert]]
[Master]
Note -
maybe switch colors of:
Veteran with Admin and Owner (dark gray Vet, red Admin, Orange Owner) - if a visitor rank is made it will use Light Gray (&7)
VIP and Banker (light green for VIP, dark green for Banker)
time played on server rank ideas

note - things to think of
builders kit presets plugin rotations? factions bankers
ECONOMY
Pre-set admin shop prices, free market, farm-based market, diamond-based market
Spawners (probably yes, nerf stat gains)
Cookie Monster (probably no)
Owner Stalemates
If neither can make an agreement, forum poll, admin decision, or something fun like a 1v1 deathmatch to keep changes and updates flowing.
new forum - carry over post counts, keep current color scheme or a lighter scheme?

Administrative side notes in depth guide for Staff: their roles, expectations, how-to's and so on Set staff roles maybe? e.g. Community Moderator, Forum Moderator, different types with different permissions to better organize and establish a role full map backups to be made at least once every week essentials/permissions file data to be backed up once every month Upon map switch: map is to be made downloadable on a file sharing site, link and instructions to be posted on server website side note - donation money: only to use for server uptime or server uptime, advertising and website maintenance? will donors agree? ask legacy players opinions custom recipes via craftbook or similar plugins? legacy members - forum moderators? server event maintenance - what events, what date/day, how often, rewards (cycle, administrative decision, or something else?) minigame plugins; possible addition for more automated server events? Town Owners - cuboids always an issue, set a way for them to use limited worldguard? NETHER AND END: Nether reset every MONTH End reset every 2 WEEKS poll this a month in see what people want to make sure Notes for server spawn AestheticsFunctionality / Usefulness (make sure there is a clear direction for players to leave, go to market, warps, and so on Informative (rules, staff, ranks, vip) Size (people don't want to walk 4k blocks to build drives players AWAY) Market to be part of spawn Keep information clear on where to see, perhaps make the [Member] requirement to: 1. Read the /rules 2. Online for 10-15 minutes Idea - reward or rank for players that advertise server (e.g. youtube video or some other form that brings in players) For server map - check map, make sure it isn't 90% ocean and has some diversity Administrative note if factions is a thing - perhaps protect strongholds from faction claim? OR make the end accessible via spawn AFTER first Dragon dies minestatus.netwww.minestatus.net/sponsoredvotemc.comcraft-list.net/minecraftservers.orgminecraftservers.org/login?return=/sponsorminecraftservers.netminecraftservers.net/payments.phpminecraftserverlist.euwww.serverpact.com/premium.htmvote4craft.net/servicevote4craft.net/sponsorshipplanetminecraft.comminecraft-mp.comminecraft-mp.com/servers/premium/faq/topg.org/Minecraftmineservers.comminecraftserverland.commcserverstatus.com/serversmcs-list.orgwww.mcs-list.org/promote/minetrack.netwww.minetrack.net/sponsored/minepick.comwww.minepick.com/sponsored/mc-serverlist.comminecraftiplist.comminecraftiplist.com/page/premium-server-listing-5.htmlminecraftserverfinder.comserverlistminecraft.comminequery.netminequery.net/premiumgametracker.comminecraftforum.net/

How many player slots will there be at the beginning? Start off - 8 or 12 slots (+2 reserve for Staff) Reasoning - I originally wanted to start with 20 slots, however Adam thought it would be better to start it like The Grid started - a small server for some friends to play on. Gives us a good starting point for progression.

That's good to hear! The server won't be up for at least until after then so that won't be an issue.
Some of the things we plan on having in the actual spawn zone are:
Spawn hub Marketplace (player-owned stores and admin shop)
If you have some ideas on what any of this could look like or more that could be added I'd love to see it and have you working on our spawn.
Some of the other things like VIP info, misc server info will probably be a warp underground.
