hi! my name is squidiio! (or sydney) and very old players may know me as "Squid, or Squidney." God it's been years... this (forum) account is brand new, (my old one is lost forever due to deleted email accounts, etc...) for people who may look into this more. I write this to hopefully get some questions of my answers giving myself and maybe others hope about this amazing place that serviced for many years. After many years I and my fellow friends of being offline, recent events, which allowed me to become more open in my schedule have drawn me back to this place, which for some time was a home for me. Now with me being older and having many changes, it brings many questions as to what happened to this version to which if i am right, the original version of skyblock on this amazing server! - I just wanted to ask these questions because I know there is no way my one thread can bring back that server the way it is... i'm just hoping to find some answers to maybe understand better, because when economy or survival opened, it was a looong time ago and honestly I didn't know why. Thank you for reading... please reply and share if you can! It would mean the world to me, as well answer the poll down below! any questions or comments please feel free to dm me as well! I thank you all
The original skyblock server opened back in 2012 and since that point it had never been reset. Over the years the map became huge and each time there was an update it was difficult and time consuming. Plus the skyblock plugin was severely outdated at that point and needed a real upgrade however it could not be done without a server reset. We were still on 1.8 with old blocks when new versions kept coming out and a dwindling player base. Not only that but classic suffered terribly from lag and issues that made the server unplayable for a lot of people and we had a lot of people actually leave. It was only important to create a new skyblock server. But they wanted to ensure people could access their old builds and at least play the old server. As for economy there was a reset back around 2015 due to a money glitch that ruined the economy. The server protection was removed and builds were griefable then the server was recreated. The server was popular but then closed when most of the players left and the server sat at 0 players most of the time. Economy was re-released into what we have now.
Yes I want classic revived because it has many lovely features that were left out of the new skyblock.
Thank you for the context/information and reply! I guess this is my next question for you as a player and staff member, but also in general... What are your thoughts about "classic skyblock?" Do you think that there is a way to achieve the 'server' like classic or what It once was? Or is that basically "survival skyblock" now? Trading of grass as currency, and how the old warps were, for example, /warp plane. As Queen also said, is there a way to add some of the old features to maybe survival? Or port over items from classic to start over in survival? I know economy is kinda its own thing with ranking. Thank you so much for reading and replying!
Thank you for your comment! As a player, can I ask what features you want to see again? Thank you for reading!
I miss things like /enchant all, no timers on /spawnmob and a lot more I can't think of rn because it's nearly 1am
honestly yeah gotta agree with you there, but go get some sleep! lol.. have a good rest of your night!
Classic will always be the best we had. I don't think a few features could make it enjoyable if you are looking for the classic experience. If you wish, there is always the suggestions section and as an old player I would be happy to try get them implemented.
