These ideas are inspired by the ultra hardcore series on youtube:


People are complaining about the current map. And yes it is always true that people will leave and others will come. But it is also true that we can make minerealm into what we want it to be. I'd like a map where survival would be more challenging. It could be as a new world, without replacing the current one. Here is what would make the hardcore survival map different from the current current survival map.

-heart regeneration from a full hunger bar is nerfed. Now only partial health regeneration (heal up to 10 or 8 or 6 or 4 or 2 hearts only). The only way to heal more is to use a golden apple or a healing potion.
-/home and /spawn are nerfed. You can only teleport to your home or spawn if you are willing to die and lose all your items. Returning home from your mines is half the challenge, and shouldn't be skipped.
-pvp is always enabled, except optionally disabled on a private realm. Pvp can also be temporarily disabled for 15 minutes by typing /pvp off. But this function would have a 5 minute cool-down timer, and would only start to protect you 15 seconds after typing it. The compass would point to the nearest player who doesn't have pvp disabled.
-mobs spawned from mob spawners no longer give experience orbs when killed.
-realms shrunk to 25x25 instead of 50x50, and now cost only 2500cr
-nothing from the current survival map would be imported into the hardcore survival map
-add "claustrophobia" to deter branch mining in tiny narrow tunnels. The game would check if you are in a confined space (percentage of air blocks to solid blocks), and if you are, you would get an alert and your hunger bar would drop very fast. This would encourage more realistic mines (about the size of the abandoned mine shafts).

Would you like to see this world added? Something different? Vote! And discuss...

Although I love that series, and a hardcore map would be fun I think that...
- These things are best enjoyed with a select group of people who you get on with and know well.
- More maps = More lag
- Realms/protection means it is no longer hardcore
- Arguments over any killings spreading onto the forums regularly would be even more annoying than Arcane's near-constant slamming of every other faction.

Edit: Do you mean a hardcore MAP or a hardcore SERVER? You mention both. If it's a hardcore server then I am all for it.

I'm not really sure what the difference is. What I'd like is to be able to play with the changes I said, and go to this map er server by typing something like hardcore.minerealm.com. Is that a map or a server technically? Anyways thanks for your thoughts. Yea there would probably be many arguments about killings, but meh, what can you do about it.

hardcore.minerealm.com would have to be a new server.

New servers cost money, but maybe one day.

Well it could always just be a replacement for the current survival map... If people support it. Wipe the map, replace it with a new map with these hardcore elements.

This is MINEREALM. There are plenty of servers that have the elements of gameplay that you seek.
Full map wipe would completely destroy all the hours and hard work that people have worked for.
I agree with Intelli, there should be no more map wipes.

These sorts of features would be nice as additions to the Apoc game type that we occasionally get to play. However, between the survival and creative maps we already have, I wouldn't want to strain the servers by adding a third permanent map.
