    Over the course of the 4 years I have been playing on this server, I have continuously asked myself why am I still playing skyblock. A server with no end goal and no real point to it, a server that is ultimately a 'waste of time' and a server that will have no effect on my future life.
    Just recently I have become interested in collecting and showing off many rares and how good of an island I can create, crafting and obtaining all different types of... pixels? All to impress... complete strangers? Opinions of strangers that won't (or shouldn't) affect my current and future lives. Yes hearing ''Wow your island is so cool'' may boost your Minecraft ego but outside of that, nothing has changed, nothing within your real life has changed, just your (fake) minecraft profile.
    I was just wondering what is driving you to keep playing this server, and Minecraft in general.
    As I am getting older I am coming to realize whats important within my life and what I need to be doing in order to create a better version of myself, and sadly, I don't see minecraft within that picture.
    Thoughts and opinions.

    (These are my opinions, and we all have different opinions)

    I’ve been playing the server actively since I was 18. I’m 23 now and I’ve gotten bored of Minecraft in general.
    My sole purpose for staying was to help others have fun here. Honestly I’m no longer pretending that I’m active or anything. I exist. That is all

    It seems it has become a, chore?

    What about in real life? Don't you have tasks to do? Things to complete?

    Why kill time when we don't have much of it!?

    Yes in comparison to the rest of minecraft, personally skyblock is the best, but what is the point in playing it.

    I completly understand your dilemna. You would only have that feeling if you played minecraft for a long time. Me personally, ive been playing minecraft for 5 years and I continued to do so because minecraft's community is friendly and nice. Something which most games dont have to offer. I think that this just means that you have become mature and probably got bored of the game. Its quite normal though, even skydoesminecraft quits youtube because of boredom probably. Try take like a break from playing minecraft and come back to it after a year later and see if you still like it or not. That's what i did.

    Because it is a cool game style, also people are not crazy like other servers.

    I play cause

    1) I'm trying to be active for mod. Like that's the sole reason im playing lol. Unfortunately I can't keep the pace due to PC issues and real life stuff so it gets downhill lol

    2) The community is nice. There's a good population of late teens and young adults who play and its nice to be with them considering that most minecraft servers have a bunch of kids in them

    3) Just pass time. Like its summer lol
