User blog:Captain Ned Edgewalker/Immortalized: The Future

time to get serious

Immortalized has, as I’m sure all of you know, been floundering since late-May (my fault), so I’m doing a blog about plans for the future of Immortalized.

Gameplay
I’m going to get this out of the way here, just because it has to be said, yes, I will be returning to Immortalized, running the server and playing with the rest of you as often as I can. I realize my level of involvement greatly affects the health of this server, so I will try my best to be as involved as possible.

Now, for actual gameplay stuff. Nothing (that I know of) will change immediately for you if you have already logged onto the server prior to when this update comes out.

I will be adding a book filled with information about the server into the inventory of new users. I specifically want the server and the direction it takes to be entirely driven by players’ various decisions and interactions with each other in the game world. Immortalized from this point on has no gimmick set in stone other than an almost pure survival experience. The “gimmick” is up to you. This has been a fairly successful and popular game tactic for servers in the past. Should the plans listed below succeed, the world border will be expanded to accommodate a larger playerbase.

Expansion
I’ve made it well(ish)-known that expanding my servers has ultimately been a very large goal of mine for all of the servers I’ve owned, and I think with the direction that Immortalized is going to be taking this is ultimately the best opportunity for it.

Everything in this section is something I am planning on accomplishing but is not a promise. It is all a really big “if”.

In the somewhat near future, Immortalized will be upgrading its user capacity and will begin advertising on various websites to help expand the servers playerbase. Along with this, a Subreddit may be opened to serve as a hub for non-wikian users and other activities that may not be suitable for the wiki. The wiki will (with permission) be advertised to users as a place to connect with each other off-game, to document adventures within Immortalized and more.

Summary/Closing Statement To state it plainly, we’re mostly going to keep doing what we’ve been doing and try to run with it.

Am I trying to emulate Civcraft? In the sense of wanting to have a community like that, you’re goddamn right I’m trying to emulate what Civcraft had. Gameplay wise, idk that’s up to all of you (and me who will be playing survival).

At this point, all I really want is for this server to be a place for us to have fun. However, I still want to try and make this a successful server outside of the wiki, because I think that with this plan and with this server, now is the opportune time.
