Me and a couple of friends are planning on making a fantasy role-play on a minecraft server. With the increase in popularity of these servers it is hard to make something original. So we are making it oriental/eastern. As of this post barely any work has been put into our server. Our goals are as follows:

1.Make a non-Tolkien based fantasy role-play while still having a rich, fantastical and familiar atmosphere.

2.Base characters after cultures instead of races.

3.Make a custom crafting system. (There are no OOC items)

4.Make a skill-set system so people can do cool things in the areas they want without being rebuked about being "unrealistic."

5.Manage to make a server where the lines of OOC and IC do not blur.

We have chosen eastern cultures as our inspiration for this role-play. Please give us advice and criticism. Also, PM me if you wanna help.
