jesus that's it now? Lol used to take me 10 tries logging into the sever cause there were no open slots. There's a difference between busy, and not caring. I think Crew could at least log in once a week, and maybe post more than twice a year on the forums. Even cyp has only had 10 posts in the last 3 months. That's just pathetic.
This needs to be spread. We need to take action. Spread the word. Donors will attempt to take on the role of moderators. We will use the chat to advertise ourselves for help. It will become our tool. Our accessory. We will treat all greenness equal. They will have equal rights and say in everything. I can say for a fact that the main reason I got a donator rank is because I wanted to be heard. No one takes greenness seriously. They are stereotypically judged based on previous situations. From now on, this will change. I will take it upon myself to make sure each greenie is welcomed and encouraged, as well as given a say in things. I beg all donators, and even greenness to take on this challenge.
Geekxboy was the the older developer with a lot of power. Geek/Autumn had the original name SortaGirlyGeek and and got forum mod kinda as a test position to see how it would work out bringing it back to the forums before her demotion. Then the rank itself stayed and a couple mods who resigned got the position, a couple left it too.
Many donors have nothing to do. They have plenty of resources and have built their structures. If the server had challenges, it would be something to aspire towards. I don't think it could be implemented now because established players easily have the resources to complete the challenges. But if they were set in place during the beginning it would give players an objective.
In my opinion, I think it's just because the "skyblock" concept is getting a bit rusty and old. I personally know another skyblock server that used to be very popular, but has now lowered to a measly 5 users maximum online, rather than the previous 100. Though, I'm not saying this server sucks, I still love it!
Thank you for pointing out that donors made their gameplay boring themselves by getting donor Setting irony aside, I totally agree, but even greenies need alternative ways of self-Entertainment, after spending hours of building, harvesting, mining, grinding and trading. With the amount of Players online ATM, I'm pretty sure bringing back MA J would not cause too much lag. Challenges that Trigger achievements and ranks would be nice as well, I totally agree. Also, upgrading the Server to 1.10!! I don't know how much effort has been put in changing the server spawn, but IMHO These efforts could have been invested in stuff that could have made the Server more appealing instead. Who cares for a spawn... really.
most? I don't know in what view you see the server and the playerbase, but that is completely false and a really big and stupid claim to make.
After reading the few pages of comments i would like to try and give an impartial view.. I think the server needs more active moderators. The biggest issue i see alot is there are players crying out for help with the same basic questions. How do i get back to my island ? How do people visit me ? How do me and my friends play together ? Where do i get ores from ? How can i get food ? And many many more. While i see alot of donors attempting to help some times the information isnt getting to the players. Looking at the forum there are ALOT of really old posts on what a user can and cant do.. Nothing on here seems to been maintained. Alot of Donors are now having very sensible discussions in the suggestions forum about what can make the server better and what plugins need work or could use improvements but again they are ignored. While everyone has an outside life there isnt much help for users on the server, The first user to help me was Stel, Who on a daily basis comes to my island to say hello and kill all my animals ( and Respawns them after ). The server needs more mods. In different time zones meaning they cross over each other. It needs plugins reformed, added or removed.. Its small stuff that can make a massive difference. Apologies for my spelling typing while at work thanks for reading
As a simple suggestion.. an FAQ wall at spawn be ? or an FAQ post that comes up in the [Skyblock] Notices and maybe links to an admin written forum post ?
