Hello Folks,
If you haven't already realised the revamp is on the move and slowly servers are being updated and fixed up, though some a little faster than others. I would like to announce that the PvP team and I have slowly been making advances to the pvp server and with our upcoming revamp.
The PvP team and I have spent numerous hours researching new and fun interactive gamemodes that could potentially be used for the new pvp server. We have gathered many plugins and we are just reaching the testing stage, but we wanted you guys to have your say, as the community itself, to help us design an appropriate pvp server that will catch your attention and have you playing constantly!
There are many options that we would be willing to try and test on the pvp server, gamemode wise. Having talked it over with the team we decided, because we want your opinions to show you what we have, and normally we would do it ourselves and open it to the public to play but we figured we show you a little preview of what could possibly be the new Minetown PvP server.
We have gone with one really basic idea, along with one really interesting big idea. Both are very great, planned out ideas and to prove it we would like to show you what kind of plugins followed by a little background story explaining what the objective of the gamemode on the server. So with no more delay, here is what we have;
BASIC PvP:
The basic pvp plugins will be updated in a later post. Basic PvP is just like your old, classic pvp but with the same map/world, the only aspect of the gameplay that will change is stripping all the complex plugins that already exist and leave the server with a factions, economy and a reward plugin to make it somewhat not boring. (McMMO is going away, as it causes too many problems. Many can agree with this.)
(this is not an actually full idea, it was taken from some suggestions as to having a simplistic server. if you have a better simple idea that will make the game fun and entertaining for all please feel free to leave a reply, Also keep in mind this is the bare minimum idea, anyone can still put in a idea for any kind of gamemode ranging from BASIC - MODERATE - COMPLEX.)
ADVENTURISTIC PvP:
The adventuristic idea is more of an idea from the other end of the spectrum. with the adventuristic idea we were looking for a not so complex idea that it would scare off players but an idea that would interest players and motivate them to come in and try it out. To add a special flare to the server we had an idea of making this idea of the pvp server take after a fun pvp'ish game/influential idea (Game of Thrones), which will all be explained soon. There are many fun ideas we thought of having such as a Fable pvp server where the gameplay would make it seem like you’re actually in parts of the actual game, or Game of Thrones idea which would allow a wide variety of pvp aspects.
The plugins we can show you without giving a lot away; RPG/PVP bukkit plugins
Full server plugins:

http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/fablecraft/
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/griswold/
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/kingdoms-2/
after player death:
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/ghost-player/ (only made to be used as commands but maybe possible to tweak it or create something similar that offers the fade color for a certain amount of time after death.)
If you have a recommendation for a different style of PvP gameplay, be sure to let us know! We love hearing your ideas and input. Plugin ideas that relate to PvP are also welcome, feel free to post one with a reason you think it should be added!
Regardless of the choice picked, the pvp server will be getting reset to make way for a fresh server to work with when it comes time to revamp.
This thread will constantly be updated as new ideas come in.
Make sure to fill out the poll on which pvp experience would you be looking forward to.
