I am working on making a PvP Battleground out far in the Wilderness right now, I would like to receive some input. Here are some details:

-The Battleground is in the wilderness. Yes, people can grief it and whatnot, but I guess that gives it a more dynamic feel than being in a realm anyway. I want it to be a Battleground, not an Arena (if that makes sense).
-Right now, it is 50x50. Should that be too small I will make it larger.
-I won't build alot of structures, but I will say that there will probably be a spawn building, some tunnels, a few small buildings (maybe ruined), some obstacles, etc.
-I may abandon the third bullet point and go for a themed Battleground (Kurachi Ruins, Frogtown Ruins, etc.)
-Should the fourth bullet point be the route I go with, I may make multiple Battlegrounds :X
-It is a FFA.
-It is undetermined that we will have a warp to go to it.


I hope I get some productive input (looking at you, cerevox). I also hope the poll I included doesn't have stupid answer options :o.

I made a realm next to spawn called PVP Castle for this reason. Its not private or anything. Just go there and start working on it! I have leveled a lot of it out and such.

Ok...Ideas.....

Set up random traps in it to kill the unwary.(triggered lava, gravel pitfalls, tnt land mines, dispensers)

It should be inside a realm so tnt works.

Have another nearby realm that's private and has tnt cannons that randomly fire into the zone. Or arrow dispensers. Or archers.

Mob rooms over it that drop tons of mobs down into the zone.

Have an objective to accomplish rather than just kill all the time.

Or just let it be a slaughter fest.

Teams. Allows offense v defense and you could give a short set up time for defenders. Or something like that.

Or FFA. Just put everyone in some ruins with traps and such and let them all kill each other. Last man standing takes the whole prize.

No need to add wrecked buildings, just don't clean up after the last mess.

If you can get the party server for this sort of thing(I still have no idea what the actual events are on there) then you could just import a pre-built ruined city or something for everyone to go nuts in. Would also allow the addition of mods such as having tnt or creepers rain from the sky.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This idea is very broad and could easily be adapted to almost any sort of combat.

I really like the idea though this may be something for the party server instead of survival. Either way it sounds awesome!

[baffu]

Love the idea!

[cerevox]

While the party server would be best for any big pvp events, we could always have a zone on the survival server marked as a special pvp zone where you can always go to find a fight.

It would be interesting to make a themed battleground with tall, semi-ruined buildings (still climbable and such)
I think 50x50 would be a bit small for a Free-For-All tournament.
TNT shalt be used extremely sparingly if at all in the construction, Please!
you might try for themed battlegrounds idea, making it gradually change from natural environment to ruined cities and such.

It will either need a warp or some sort of ungriefable minecart track, or could just be on a different server altogether.

Tnt should not be allowed excessively, neither should traps.

There needs to be some sort of purpose and/or prize.

If there are multiple battlegrounds then perhaps it would be better on a different server, where on one map we could have 10 minutes to setup walls and build cannons, given limited supplies and full pvp gear. Followed by a large fight to the death.

Set up tournaments between realms.

FFA tournaments with larger prizes (perhaps IP?).

Well designed maps, I am sure a lot of the community will help design battlefields.

I am more in favour for hosting on a different server as we already have PvP castle for random pick up battles.

EDIT:

You helped build PvP castle, what is it if not what you described? I can turn on explosions if you really want...

Idea! We could put this into one of the Minerealm party modes! It could rotate between the two: Tron, PvP, Tron, PvP.

Well on a seperate server it would give the possibilty of multiple maps, eventually leading to need for the development of a voting plugin for the server to decide which game to play.
