I'm tired of this ''The server is gonna die'' nonsense.

    Okay, so this is going on around the whole freaken server.
    Listen, nothing lasts forever. At one point something will die.

    This is an old server and although there are not much people as a year ago, keep calm..

    You can prevent this, or you can let it die...

    Now, the first optional is to broadcast the server, the more the better..
    You can also be nice to greenies, as they are the next generation of skyblock players.
    Basically ways like this..



    If you tell greenies to go kill themselves, chances are they would quit.
    If you troll a lot, chances are people will quit.


    The thing I hate the most..

    The thing that I hate the most,
    the thing that doesn't even make sense
    is that ''the mods aren't good''.
    This bothers me a lot, the mods legit spend hours
    of their day, just to help people..

    Noob: Idc, dont dey get paid...

    No, they don't get payed, they do it because they want to..
    If people say that the reason skyblock is dying because of the mods, then they clearly don't know what skyblock is...

    A community.

    Tbh, lets stop worrying about this and actually do something. We can't complain if we aren't trying.

    ^^^

    Though it's hard to do things while not being the owner, spend time working with no donors, advertise the server places, make YouTube or twitch videos about it. Get the population back instead of blaming the mods for everything.

    I don't see what's the big fuss. Minecraft isn't as popular as it once was, one game mode servers are not as popular as they once were. Skyblock is dated especially the design of the skyblocks.
    But the server is still a great place to me and I love it. I will do what I physically can. However at the end of the day I just go on and enjoy my time rather than worry about the end. No server can last forever and it will be sad when the server goes.

    So true. The server needs to stop worrying about the end and enjoy the now. I'm going to try to change my attitude on this as I know in the past I've acted pessimistic for the future.

    Just like real life.

    It's quite normal though when you see a server once full up with less than 100 people to feel a little pessimistic.

    Players are worried or feel like they need to talk about it. But you have to just ride the wave rather than trying to cling on. We can do our parts to advertise and share the server but at the end of the day the server is there for people to play... so do that.

    i mean as mean as we are to the moderators sometimes, you do have to admit that they take a couple hours out of their daily life just to help with the server. it's pretty nice and i appreciate that they do what they do.

    but really, there's no legit problem about it. the old players keep leaving, and new players come in. there's not a lot of them, but it's not our choice to say they should join and play. if it dies, then let it die. donations don't just keep coming in, they die off.

    idk, but i think the server is fine as of right now.

    Nah but I do agreed with most of this just the "or you could let it die" strikes a spear through my oddly shaped heart.

    Unless I've been using it wrong for years, "greenies" is just short for "greenbeans," which is what nondonors are called since their names are green...

    "If people say that the reason skyblock is dying because of the mods, then they clearly don't know what skyblock is...

    A community."

    In refutation to this, interestingly a lot of the moderators don't see Skyblock as anything more than a game, which leads to the dissatisfaction of the player base. I agree on the fact that Skyblock will die without proper recognition, but is that up to the players or the moderators to fix?

    Also, when the mods ignore you in game... The mods started to talked about love and play with their friends. (I will not name any mods) The mods are also started to be less helpful since they are off-topic. "The helping greenies part" is up to us. I think The Cyk753 is doing a very good job of helping players.

    Oh thank you! I can only try.


    This is really up to the server owners to bring new life to it. They are the ones who control it. Mod's cannot fix up /warp mob nor redo the tradeshop tutorial at /warp tradeshop. They cannot fix game code or else they would have already allowed non donors to use /warp. Mod's cannot promote players to trial mods, which I think this server really needs more of. Mod's cannot act on the really good idea from the suggestions forum. Mods cannot create more rare items like beacons and so they cannot control the high inflation.

    Let's face it. We come back here because we like skyblock, but the server is dated. We try to help each other, as a mod or just a normal player. In the end this server is going to lose out if the owners don't maintain it or update it.

    Why exactly do you, in the title, call people talking about the server nonsense however in the suggestion you make suggestions to stop it? You just did it yourself.

    Yes, but no.
    I may of made a threat about it, but I'm referring to the people in-game or in forums that say ''Skyblock is gonna die''
    plus all that.

    What Myrmidous said:

    ''Minecraft is the second most popular game ever created, topped only by Tetris (source). It is now owned by Microsoft and will be included for free in future versions of windows (source). There are also plans to create a toolkit to open up modding to amateur enthusiasts so get ready for that particular flood''.


    This is true, although Minecraft isn't going to last for the next generations.
    Eventually Minecraft is going to die out.. (People might be talking about it, but not played by less and less people).



    Skyblock is a niche market, so this is entirely possible. My question to you is: Why does it matter? Do you have a personal interest in the server, sir? This isn't an attack; I can tell you are a bit passionate here. But if (when?) the Skyblock server closes what are you personally losing?

    Let me rephrase this..
    ''Skyblock is a server that has been running for years now, instead of people whining about the server dying, they could help to broadcast, if they don't want to broadcast, it's fine.

    Now, for your question ''what are you personally losing''

    I've met lot's of amazing people on the server.
    For some, that's how I communicate to them.

    You might be asking, ''then give them your phone number''.
    I can't give my phone number to many people, it would be an overload.

    In the end, yes I am losing something, which are my friends..
    -This also has big impacts on others, some of which live by the server, others who spend their time building and making complicated redstone devises.

    (Ps: I don't own Ts, Skype, etc..)



    "
    You're calling all of the new players stupid virgins. Probably not intentional but it does make your message.

    I didn't say that about any greenie.
    All I said is that people should be nicer to greenies, since they are the next generation of skyblock players.

    umm maybe it's actually for me xD
    I created the first one and people started agreeing with me and everything, and then a bunch of people created more and more.
