Hey all, this is pretty much a dead project as of now. Minecraft has gotten very boring lately and this requires an immense amount of time/money/skilled people. I don't think this project will be able to take off. If you want to check out what it was going to be, open the spoiler.

Enjoy!

I would like to say, Yes I know I already have a thread of this but it is in the server development section, but a lot of people don't check that so here it is here. :p

If you would like to donate to the cause please go here:

"Welp
, as you can read by the title I have a side project called Alfheim. If you have seen the popular anime Sword Art Online, then you know where this is going. For those who don't this is a basic summary, Alfheim Online is a game that came after the devastating game called Sword Art Online. It was a VRMMORPG and by that a virtual reality RPG game with a load of players. It was a death game. The equipment used to play was called Nerv gear, and it is like a helmet to put on. You would then be unable to do anything in real life while your mind is pretty much transported to a game. All your thoughts, feelings are like the controller, and you feel like it is real. Once you got in the game, you were stuck. No logout button and if the helmet forcefully removes you would die due to a microwave charge sent to the brain. Don't think about unplugging it either, it has a battery and could kill you that way too. So what about SAO? Alfheim was like this but safer to the general players. Kirito, the main character, goes to Alfheim Online to look for Asuna, his love interest and other main character, who was last minute transported to Alfheim by an absolute a**-whole that shall not be named. Alfheim is the land of the fairies with multiple races, territories, and general MMORPG like things. Players had wings that could be controlled and since it was VR it felt real to them. It was addicting.

Why am I explaining this?
Well, I am trying to recreate this in a game mode. It will include all the different features and aspects that make Alfheim Online so fun in the SAO universe, minus the virtual reality. Rip :cry: Though it will have all the races, world tree, territories, and all sorts of more amazing things.

Why do you need to know?
I would like anyone who would like to take a small survey that would greatly help this. It was as said, a side project but is quickly becoming more. Link

Please don't say I got this idea from Doubt's project because I've been working on the notion for this since early October-ish.

If you like the idea and would like to help in a way please PM me. It can be from small configuration work to investments/donations, to even plugin or map development." - Thread (Link)

More information
So the map we are basing our builds off the image found below.

I am working on the 3-D models and textures to make ours stand out. Each race can wield different types of swords, just like in the anime, and will be given a different and unique looking armor. The only problem right now is the modeling software I am using allows up to 32x32 so it isn't that detailed. If you know of something other than CubikStudio or would like to contribute that way, please message me.

The races each get their abilities. Here is a little snippet
  • Salamander - Permanent strength one and fire magic (Temp Fire resistance or flame-ball the higher the rank)

  • Spriggan - Permanent night vision and illusion magic (Temp for any enemy in a 15 block radius)

  • Sylph - Permanent jump boost one and wind magic (Knocks back every enemy within eight blocks)
The inventory is set, and with each time you level up, you get access to more storage room, better equipment, and generally a better chance of surviving. The inventory at level one is show here. (Sorry for it being small)

We will also be retexturing the mobs and making them unique to the server. Here is a little snippet of that. :p
  • Snow Golem - Drops snowballs only

  • Forest Golem (Replaces Iron Golem) - Drops Rusty Iron (Replaces Quartz)

  • Witch - Drops blaze powder

  • Underworld Demon (Replaces wither skeleton) - Drops wither skeleton bones

This was just a little more information for those who were asking. :)


Sorry if this doesn't have as much information as you or I would like. I don't want to reveal a lot of things to prevent copycats. More will be explained about the beta release.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Instead of having players claim land, why not do it by the classical factions of Alfheim instead of just "player guilds"?
That would make it a bit more unique, instead of just re-skinned factions with a smidge of towny.

Players won't clam land, don't worry. The only place you can even build is a guild base in a different floor, or an area like an apartment or house. The main objective will be to grind higher up in levels, rank status, and trying to dominate the world tree; which is a work in progress. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them. Just take that to a PM please. :)

Edit: The territories part was the actual land ways of in Alfheim Online like how only Cait Sith can only attack people in their territory. Or the Sylph in theirs.

Pretty much the worst part of SAO as a whole, but the base concept should work if you have enough money to throw at it.

As said below a lot of information is left out for fear of people copying. What about it could be improved? If you wouldn't mind please do take the survey to help.

I really love this idea and would love to play on a server like this. When I was a big anime junkie a few years ago, I would search for days for a server like this, but never found a decent one. If you can pull this off and make me feel like I am in Alfheim Online, I would be forever grateful to you and your entire team.

Thanks! Honestly it is only me right now though. I don't have a team yet since this just started as a side project back in October. I hope I can make this as accurate as you possibly can in MC.

I can't really help in the development of the server on the technical side, but if you need any help with ideas or building, feel free to PM me.

Ok, thanks! I do have some questions for other MC players who would be interested in something like this. The survey also helps so that would be something anyone could help with. :)
