New server ideas?

My friend and I may plan on making another server. We already have a good scripting team so we just need ideas and we still may not for sure make another server. Here are some ideas we had in mind. Please only constructive criticism.

1.) Pirate type of server.

There are couple of islands with of course ports and ship yards. Basically the islands represent each pirate group. They are not anything big or special. The main thing about the server would be how wars happen. There are boat wars that will allow you to take over territory and ship yards. Then you will have to take the fight onto land. You raid the hideouts of the pirates and take over each bit of the island. Once you own the island you have control of the money made on there and other things. There would be weapons but it wouldn't just be swords. There would be cannons, daggers, early guns, and more. Things to do would be to do treasure hunts, explore, fight, and more. I do not want to give a lot of info out about this because I want it to be a surprise.

2.) It's the late 40s, and everyones alive and kicking, well some people. The five families control the streets, and everywhere is a war zone. In the beginning, you'll start out as a street urchin, but once you join a family, you'll rise through the ranks and become what might be known as the Blackhand. The tileset will be based on a 1940's theme, including cars and 1940's based weaponry. Use whatever you can to your disposal to make sure that your family has control of all the businesses and has the authority on the streets. Kill any in your way, and make yourself someone worth remembering.
Now you would think this is like era but it isn't. On this type of server you will need to make yourself a life. Get a apartment, possibly have a family, and get a job. You will have bills. You can join the mafia as a job but it is dangerous and it will be possible for the other mafia groups to rob you. There will be police only they do not have to help you. In addition, There will be businesses and mobs will need to take them over. Each mob gets paid for each business that is owned, and the money will automatically be split evenly among players depending on ranks. This way, It will keep players active and constantly trying to get businesses and fight, not to mention try to get them to try and get through ranks. Plus, it will stop over populating one family because the more people the less amount of money each member gets. This creates something that will keep players active.

3.) This style of server will basically be all out warfare. If any one has played
Sands of Glory, well this is that kind of server. Everyone will start off with a gun, and join a specific army. Once that is set, they will go out and kill enemy troops until they had enough. When you are done, you will go up to your army accountant (which will just be an NPC) and say collect earnings. For each enemy troop killed, you will receive cash, which will be able to have you
purchase a new weapon. Once the server kicks off, there will be new things added, and there will be player run armies, which will participate in wars in a separate war zone, and there will be bases. Only players in armies can go in these special areas. There shall be events for cash that will be one all out war, plus, tanks/cars/mortars and pretty much anything that comes out of war.

4.) If your ever angry about how you have to have gold to save your stuff on Zone, now don't have to worry. This style of server will allow players to battle in a futuristic environment, using lightsabers, laser rifles, and robot fighters. This will have special Alliances, and they will be player run. When you kill someone, you get money for it, and if you are in an army and kill someone else in a different army, you get even more. This will be just like Zone, except with more to do. This is only a gist what I have came up with, so sorry its not to detailed.

5.) Classic Type

A classic style server will just be like Unholy Nation/Delteria/N-Pulse/Classic. Of course, it will be different and have many different things to do, but you should basically get the idea of what it is like. There will be sparring, guilds, events, quests, player run businesses and more.

6.) Role-Playing Type

This server would be like Valikorlia. In a roleplaying server, you would have
to act in your player, as if you were actually them. You do not OOC (Out Of
Character) cause then you would not be RP. This type of server would have
kingdoms and a vast world to explore, and many of opportunities for players.
Not to mention it would be something new from Val.

7.) Fantasy type

This server would be like Zodiac/Maloria. Of course, there will be swords,
nations, things of that nature. However, there will be more to do and more
ideas and new things coming out of it, this sort of server could be a very
interesting project.

8.) Modern type

This would be like Era/Graal X. On this server, there will be gangs, player
run, and you would be able to purchase weapons. There would be lots of
jobs for players, and the basic point would be to kill others.

9.) No-Rules type

This type of server would have no-rules, like have swords mixed with guns.
Basically, it would be a mix of all servers, and just have many NPCs and
things for players to do, like spar with different weapons, Classic, Modern,
Fantasy, RP, Futuristic, Military, all in one!

not to burst your bubble but after having expeireince around playerworlds for a while now anything with the term "like *insert server name here* but better", gets shot down in flames. New ideas are better and much more welcomed.

Apparently, you don't know who he is. He was the original founder of Zodiac.

10) The year is 1200 B.C, the trojan war has begun. You awake in a distance village from the battleground. You are but 18 years old, ready to undertake new challenges. A dark figure approaches you, handing you a sword and shield. He directs you towards the tent to the left, the training hall.

Ok im going to stop because I will have 5 pages written. Sort of a war of Troy type of server.. Times of Zeus...of the greeks.. Could be an interesting setting for a server..

Make it classic type so you don't have to worry about making all new tilesets, only custom tiles for specific areas. Secondly make the systems around my overworld and some of my graphics that I exclusively have from when I owned Faheria. (couple examples given)

I know that, but the founder of one good idea doesn't mean to have things like his zone idea in there, I admit that 1, 2, and 3 are good ideas the rest are really iffy.

1, 2, and 3 sound good, but the rest are more genre servers than actual ideas with a storyline/plot.

I like the pirate server idea, and the one about the 5 families.
Me and my bro actually thought about making a server like that before, good luck with what you choose to do.
