I've been reading up on some of the servers that people have for minecraft and they're very interesting, they pretty much have small MMOs. I myself had an idea for a RP server, but sadly only able to host for 3 people.. thanks to my slow Internet speed. Any one out there capable of hosting at 20 spots minimal? I'm thinking we could have a partnership on the server and the theme could be early civilization (Egyptian, roman, Greek etc) themed or medieval. Basic concept of my idea is it will be 2-5 cities (depends on number of people) each city will have a ruler, the cites will be no kill zone, *unless* a war has broken out between the cities. Classes and ranks present (but I'd like to make it less constrictive then the current servers). There will be a large zone declared as pvp 24/7 so you enter at you own risk, this zone will have incentives/quests to get people to venture into it (treasure/rank) here you can also build what you want (long as its not modern) but once again at your own risk. I have many more ideas so if any one is interested we can discuss it.

I've run many different clans and cities in various MMOs, also I have experience at modding, I haven't looked into modding minecraft *Yet* but I've modded many games.

These pics and info to give you an idea how I'd plan the cites/quest, still a work in progress cause the damn sandstone is a lot harder to collect then cobblestone, other wise this would be as high as the clouds, 15 more blocks. The pyramid will have a large inside and a huge underground labyrinth.. a complete maze, only 2 ways to get to the Pharaohs treasure and a 100 plus ways to a dead end (literally cause its will have hundreds of traps).
