    The server is withering away... :C

    Post by Lorecraft on Sun May 13, 2012 4:11 pm

    It seems like the server is slowly dieing.... there is usually less than 5 people on at a time, and those are mostly a few mods or other old faithfuls. there is a constant grief problem which makes everything even LOOK like its decaying away. The economy isn't any better either, there is pretty much no exchange of freeds on the server anymore and if it is, it is almost always a singular exchange, big stores have just died out. It doesn't help that nobody stocks them anymore. Also almost everyone that still plays has some other server that they play more often.

    I don't know what can be done but its just kinda sad. Crying or Very sad

    I have been super busy lately. This up coming week is finals week for me and this past week has been all projects and papers. I will be on more in a week or so.

    I just haven't been in a building mood at all. And usually if I do I feel like I want to do it Creative. But I haven't played MC in like.. 3 weeks.

    Lack of staff dedication(I'm one guilty of this),lack of decent and updated plugins, we don't have the money to advertise for more/new players and honestly minecraft is finally getting old.

    Besides jobs and spleef which are on the way, the plugins aren't really the issue. It's all about publicity. I've been on far worse servers that are incredibly popular due to their advertising dollars.

    I be doing exams, and playing on another server too ;P (one that already has creative (as well as peeps if you're thinking about burn's))

    Also the other server is European so I don't have to wait until stupid o'clock to see peeps.

    From my experience with factions and towny, players don't like minigames.

    That's true, but i've seen things like this on a lot of servers (this one actually looks more in-depth and fun than the one's that I have seen) and they always bring players. I think we should worry about making the current server in ship-shape before adding anything else though.

    Near the end of the year lots of people are doing their exams, and just dealing with the last of school. The time I do have for gaming I spend playing tf2 or LoL with friends. And to be honest Minecraft really is getting old.

    Blasphemy!

    Though i accept TF2 as an excuse, fuck LoL mind.

    (Never actually played LoL and it's probably a decent game, it just seems too... geeky for my liking and I need to be revising and shit so I wouldn't have much time. For the moment though I'm just going to call it homosexual and what not).

    Those aren't mini games....

    I didn't say they were. I meant players don't like sub layers to minecraft, they just want to place/mine blocks, get money, and teleport places.
