    Kainzo is tired and needs your help!


    Note: You CAN change the text/content/information up as long as it makes sense and explains the server. I WANT different ways of saying things! (The whitelist application / donor info should of course stay around the same)

    What it needs:
    • Features of our server
    • Pertinent information
    • Pleasing to the eye/easy to read
    • Attractive! (Pictures/more)
    • Must work with Minecraftforums.net forums.
    • BE CREATIVE! You don't have to copy and paste text!
    What the winner gets:
    • Donor status (t4 or additive $40 onto their contribution)
    • Mad Props
    • 500c in game
    • Credit
    Why help?
    • You love Herocraft
    • You want donor status!
    • You want Herocraft to be more appealing to first timers!
    When's it due?
    • 2/13/2012 11:59PM CST
    Where will it be displayed?
    How do I submit?
    • Feel free to post your reply here or pastie.org it in a reply to this thread.

    Herocraft features a Wiki project often referred to as HeroWiki. This project aims to document anything and everything Herocraft-specific from politics to unique elements (such as our upcoming Heroes RPG Plugin) and everything in-between. See it here for all your questions: Herocraft Wiki!

    The HeroWiki also contains all relevant information to the Heroes plugin. As the developers, we are very proud of what we have created, and have a small taste of what we used the plugin for below.


    [IMG]Paths:

    One of Heroes' main features is a fully customizable class system and that's something we've been happy to take advantage of. Herocraft features five main paths which each have four specializations.

    [IMG] Warrior: Warriors are the traditional fighters of Herocraft wielding heavy armor and strong blades, they march forward to the defense of their allies.
    • Paladin - Divine Knight
    • Dreadknight - Hatred Incarnate
    • Dragoon - Knight Airborn
    • Samurai - The Chosen
    [IMG]Rogue: Practitioners of refined combat Rogues are one of the more varied archetypes, using speed and skill to cut down their enemies or surround them in traps. The rogue's specializations are a force to be reckoned with.
    • Ninja - Master of Death
    • Ranger - Tracker Extremist
    • Beastmaster - Head of the Pack
    • Bard - Song Writer and Morale Booster
    [IMG]Caster: With the elements at their beck and call Casters display offensive powers to frighten any iron-clad Knight. Power comes with a price though and Mages pay heavily with their defensive strength being virtually non-existent.
    • Geomancer - Master of Elements
    • Wizard - Master of the Arcane
    • Necromancer - The Living Death
    • Enchanter - Crowd Control Extraordinaire
    [IMG]Crafter: Crafters are the masters of both gathering and refining materials. Notoriously fragile in the battlefield they possess an unparalleled ability to manipulate materials materials both in purpose and appearance.
    • Smith - Master of Repairs
    • Mason - The Creator
    • Alchemist - Shaper of Change
    • Engineer - Making it Work
    [IMG]Healer: Healers are the backbones of any party, banishing gaping wounds with little more than a tip of the hat they can turn the tide of any battle when used correctly. This combined with their often lacking offensive abilities makes them priority targets in combat.
    • Cleric - Medic Commando
    • Druid - One with Nature
    • Bloodmage - Ritualist Fiend
    • Monk - Martial Arts Champion

    Donations are cumulative. All donations go directly towards server upgrades and maintenance to increase performance and benefit all Herocraft members. Donations are not required, never grant inventory items and won't save you from being kicked or banned if breaking server rules. However, they give you additional perks (vanity abilities, additional locked chests, region protection for a fee, etc). All these add up: a higher tier donator automatically has access to all lower tier bonuses.

    Joka10, I'm also fairly new here. Don't let your newcomer status get in the way of skill, you could really make a good first impression to HeroCraft!

    I also will be participating, can't wait to see all of the entries!

    I think I'll give this a shot... Do we have a more recent trailer? And would it be okay if I use those same section title things if I can't find any? I'm not exactly the best with that stuff. Hehe.

    Fun stuff, I love doing main threads for servers. I'll get on it once I get home. Doing it from my phone would be a pain.
