Maybe I am the only one, but to me, it looks like we have lost several players over the past 2 years that I have been on. I know there are mods such as mind, bless his heart, who say the server isn't dying. But I see skyblock as a dying server now. Over my time here, I have had over 100 friends quit skyblock. So many people I knew that quit. I remember when I would click and hold tab, and there were so many people on that tab couldn't show all of them. But I noticed as time progressed that our number of players online has decreased. Idk for sure if the cooldown had to do with it, but I am pretty sure it did, several people left not to long after the cooldown was added. Maybe it's just a coincidence but I doubt it. I guess I am just worried about this server, and it looks like it's dying. Economy now has 10- players on average when I am on there, and net has gone down a lot. I just want to know all you guys' opinion about this. Is skyblock dying? why is it, or isn't it?

 

It is just today. As krissy said people have things to do.

 

I suppose that much is true. I am just concerned, this is the first time I have seen such a thing happen to a server. I would hate to see the community go.

I also suppose that much is true, however I have personally myself, seen a player decrease since the day I began here.

 

Sure there is a decrease, but there is also an increase.

 

I believe that Skyblock would rise in players if people/owners promote it more. The owners should take some opinions from the players to improve the game.

If the server gets bigger in numbers, I will surely join back.

 

I joined like a couple days ago and to be honest it seems like a very active community with plenty of donations. That is why I donated for the $100 rank because it is a great community.

 

Or you just ban for unfair amounts of time with really no justification.

 

Ok, I'm going to crack down on this.

I got around 2 chances overall on this server. And obviously I do not know that you have played multiple servers. How would I know that, ask yourself before you reply.
x1000000 Chances is not accurate. Seeing as though even runescape (ironic) don't give out that many chances. Its just a number you oddly typed in. I've never seen a nicest server on Skyblock either. Wow. Must be a coincidence. And obviously why would I be happy that I'm banned in the first place. Also, please justify "or so on" Thanks.

 

Server will always continue to decline in popularity skyblock just gets boring. It's been "dying" for about 3 years lool.

 

Who wants to bet the MINECRAFT SUPER MODERATORS will delete my posts then give me a ban for being truthful?

 

Too many new spastics who think they're top s*** ruining the server - Lot's of new people thinking that they can make a change when change isn't going to happen.

I'd also like to mention you are one of several thousand people (exaggeration) to point out that the server is dying when; that isn't true. You might as well make a thread saying the mods are corrupt because we haven't heard that all before.

Stop whining, giving us your professional observation isn't going to change anything.

 

All off topic flaming posts were removed. Discuss it somewhere else.

 

I have personally been trying to promote this server myself. I see skyblocks popularity dying, but I believe with proper care, and promotion of the server that it can rise up again. It just needs some help.

 

I'm not whining, I am just merely stating what I see from a concerned viewpoint. There are actually several people that don't like this either. I am a person who likes to make things as fast and efficient as possible. If there is a way to make things more convenient in a faster way, then it would be much better. I don't know how to run a server, but I am learning how to manage yourself as a manager of a business/organization. I am not saying CYP isn't doing his best, because I don't see what's going on from his view. All I know is that I like things to be fast and efficient, this cooldown slows down the waiting time, and I think that there could be a way to reduce lag other than through a cooldown. However, the cooldown has reduced the lag, and I have recognized that.

 

Yes, the server has lost many players (thanks a lot for removing Skywars) but it's definitely not dying.

Adding to my list of threads about this situation.

 

What people don't see is that not having as many players as a server used to =/= a server dying. People are going to come and go. Whether it be they started Skyblock at a young age and now they simply don't have the time, people will leave. But people also join.

 

@Skyblock.org?

 

For those who seem to misunderstand my purpose in the thread, the title was the main topic of discussion. I want to hear from all viewpoints, not just those who agree with me. I am at a point where I don't see skyblock as dying, but rather the popularity of the server is dying. I want to hear from everyone What is happening to Skyblock? The title says it all. I want to hear those who think it is, those who think it isn't dying, and other viewpoints. Specifically What is happening to Skyblock.

Exactly. However, as I said in another post, I also play on another server that never had these issues in the time I had been on it. Rather than going up and down and requiring a cooldown for every command, the server had, and is growing more in popularity and doesn't require so much cooldown. Not to mention that it supports thousands of players at the same time and holds good stability. I've never seen it fall down, but I have seen it grow more and more in popularity. I believe that the same thing can happen with Skyblock. Rather than going up and down, and requiring cooldowns for almost every command, I am sure there are other ways to reduce lag and cause skyblock's popularity to go shooting for the stars. This is a fantastic server, it just needs some more nourishment, and I could see it flying upward in popularity.
