Hello everyone, I’m creating this thread to provide an update on the ProjectKorra server, as well as to open up discussions and answer questions that you all may have. So here we go:
First, a quick explanation on what the ProjectKorra Server is:
The ProjectKorra Server will be an official ProjectKorra product, much like anything else we release. It will be professionally maintained by the ProjectKorra staff and held to the same standards as the rest of our products. It will be designed to bring the community together in one place to have fun, test new things, and get to know each other better.
With that being said, here are some quick questions and answers:
How can I access the server?
What are some prominent server features?
What about existing Sponsorships?
Time frame?
Thanks everyone! Comment away!

How can I access the server?
The server is still being constructed, but access will be completely free forever. There will be perks available in-game for use, however, the features of ProjectKorra (element switches, Probending and Spirits (when available), all default abilities, etc) will be available to anyone that signs on. The point of this server is to show off what ProjectKorra is capable of, therefore, it is only right to allow access to everyone.
That said, the server will need to generate some type of income to sustain itself. We will be having some type of Sponsor program on the server (renamed for gimmicks). Donors will have access to additional perks that aren’t Pay2Win and aren’t obnoxious.

What are some prominent server features?
The currently planned features are a main survival world, an arena, and Probending when it becomes available. The idea of the server will be for it to be pretty sand-boxy and hands off. This means that players will be able to sort of design the game as they wish, form alliances, kill each other, etc. There’s a lot about specific gameplay features that haven’t been discussed yet, but let me tell you what has:
- The chat will be simple. One thing that just about everyone agrees on is that server chats shouldn’t be obnoxious.
- The setup process will be extreme simple. Players will spawn in a smaller city that’ll sort of explain some Bending things if you need it, but the instructions for how to get out will be pretty clear. (You’ll also start with some tutorials, so yay!)
- We’ll design our own /help menus!
- Rules are still being discussed, but most of them will be common sense. (Ideas appreciated)
- PvP and PvE will be on, but the exact structure of plugins that facilitate PvP are still being discussed.
- Staffing will be pretty simple as well. Most ProjectKorra staff members won’t have tags in-game (that’s what /bending who is for), but the team of Server Administrators and Moderators will have a small tag [Admin] [Mod] before their name to keep the chat nice and clean. Server Staff applications will be opening very soon, keep an eye out!
Ideas! There is a lot still to be planned out and here are some specific things I’m looking for:
- Plugin suggestions? Other server owners, what have you used to facilitate combat? Clans? Factions? Simple parties? Or just some player level alliances.
- Sponsor ideas! Perks that aren’t Pay2Win. Things like Nicknames, etc, etc.
- Other cool ideas you may have for the server? I want to hear them all. This is your chance to help us build the ProjectKorra server from the ground up.
Pretty soon, other servers will be able to Sponsor ProjectKorra! Servers will be able to get advertising space in our lobby world among other things still being planned. If the ProjectKorra Server picks up and needs overflow space, that’s where your server could come in. There’ll be a mutual benefit and the official ProjectKorra Server would NEVER do anything to discourage players from visiting another server.
What about existing Sponsorships?
If you are a ProjectKorra sponsor when the server opens, you’ll have the equivalent rank on the server. Plain and simple.
Time frame?
We’re only just beginning to ramp up our server ideas. This will probably take a couple of weeks to get all of the details sorted out but I plan to announce updates frequently as things are planned. This is a community server, therefore, we want the community to be involved every single step of the way.
