    Yes, we should return HellBlock. As skyblock.net has grow, I feel like plenty would join the standalone server as people could trade items between net and hellblock like they used to. I believe in the mineverse server it is hidden, and noone wants to go there. Possibly we could test out a new standalone hellblock and if it rolls in enough people, renew the subscription for the server. I think a lot of the donors on skyblock would gladly donate on this new hellblock server, and people would pay .ORG and .NET to get upgraded on the new hellblock server, which will pay off the server costs, and then some ;). Anyways, hellblock will be something new again, and if you think this is true, support, or send cyp a message. He just needs to know he won't be in the hole if he restarts the hellblock server.

    Leave feedback and suggestions below :)and I believe we should at least give it a try again. :)

    Crew is not owner anymore ;) so there's a chance cyp will get the hellblock server back. Noobcrew gave up, not enough income it was just holding him back at the time. I'm not sure what will happen tho.

    I'm confused, so crew still owns it, but cyp has the owner title?

    Ok before hellblock was moved to mineverse is had 1-4 players off peak and around 10-15 maybe peak times. It was already struggling. Then, the issue where the server broke and no one could access their islands and things of that nature made the server pretty much useless.
    So essentially Crew decided to move hellblock to mineverse where it would get more exposure and more love. Unfortunately after the first week or so after the move the server died and now its lucky to get 10 or more people. I always go on and theres zero.
    Making it part of skyblock again will only make the same problem. The hype will die down and the server will die.
    Essentially as much as I want it as its own server I cant see it being a good move.

    Hmm. You seem to have more experience than I do, but I would still like It back. We should try it again. Skyblock has changed since it was first released. Thanks for feedback, I will consider getting this locked if you feel this isnt going to go anywhere.

    Okay Ima stop u right there. The most important difference between the old one and the new one is that there was actually a staff team on the old one, and people enjoyed playing it. I played the one on Mineverse for awhile, but legit there's such a ridiculous number of things wrong with it that's its frankly unplayable. Crew never made Kato admin on Mineverse hellblock, and after the first like 2 weeks Crew and cyp stopped work on it pretty much completely. Hell pvp was on at spawn for a good week before it finally got fixed. It was pathetic. I made whole video asking them to fix it, and I just gave up on it. I told Cyp to fix the server before literally everyone quit, and I get ip banned from MV forums. I'm still pissed about it all, but beside the point. Hellblock should come back to it's independent server. I would actually come back and play it again, and I'm sure most of the old hellblock people would come back to play it. And Js when crew and cyp had the conversations about moving it to mineverse, they knew what the issue was. Something corrupted with the island generation in the old plugin, and they fixed it, so the server could have just been reset. And Can't believe u said this </3 Old Hellblock was never dead. Maybe AU time it was down to like 5 people, but it usually sat around 15 for most of the US daytime in the summer. Bottom line, no one plays the new one cause it's full of issues that never get fixed, and everyone who played the old one wants it back.

    nononononono Hellblock was it's own server at one point like .org and .net before you started playing.

    Also in Cyp's words : " we decided to move Hellblock to Mineverse so that way Crew & I can take care of Hellblock properly and make sure we don't make the same mistake twice. This way I can be active on Hellblock (as it's on Mineverse) and take good care of it as well as all the other 15+ gamemodes on Mineverse." I'm sorry, but it was never ever taken care of on Mineverse. I was the only mod ever on there before I resigned, and it's just pathetic how it is now. Also the horrible tick lag took 5 months to fix that I reported multiple times. The server was literally running at like 5 tps most of the time.

    This is worth a shot asking for it back, but I doubt Cyp's even going to reply to it again.

    i still believe that no matter what hellblock is a concept that is just not as popular as it once was and those who wanted it back went through other directions to gain it. And yes hellblock may have been the more neglected server but bringing it back most likely wont change a thing. Hype - old players return - hype dies - server becomes less popular - dies down again.
