Hi, it's me again, but with a little twist today. I was wondering if anyone could make a Minecraft server for me. You would be half the owner and I would be half the owner. We would share it... I'm asking this, because I HATE port forwarding and I'm an idiot.. Lol If you are able to do this, and we get it popular we will support EMC with advertisements and donations if we earn money... (won't). It would be the start of a new Empire, but allies. We don't compete. We would be an all survival no pvp and let the community choose what they want if you would like to help, post on this thread.
If your thinking of becoming a popular server... Your going to need a lot more than just port forwarding and hosting it on your computer, why not just buy a server host?
Not sure an "Allied" server is an EMC thing. I think that any server that has come close to allied with us is the servers that belong to EMC itself. I say that, we are not even " Against " any servers. We are just another server building up the greatest community possible and that's that. Being a popular server is another difficult obstacle. You will need tons of hours of dedication, and hard work. Also mature staff. I personally think that you cannot do this. Sorry. But with my luck, Aikar will be all aboard and start sponsoring you. Good luck though.
I don't think Aikar would support another server which could possibly steal their members, even though it wouldn't EMC has to think of it as a possibility sorry to burst ya bubble!
I would suggest TC Admin for a dedicated server hosting. I've used them before and it's pretty good for a fun server to play on with your friends.
Also it's against the rules to advertise another server so if you do end up making a server I suggest you don't advertise it.
I advertise for EMC on the new server... It would just be no pvp survival and that's all.NO upgrading.
I personally hate servers that are port forwarded, they are fine for 3-4 people but the rest of the time they are slow, laggy and unreliable. Non of the staff would support the idea. There is no way to advertise the server to EMC players because that's against the rules.
