First off, it seems that my recent posts (Communism, Greetings) may have had some aggressive/anti-MegaCraft undertones with them and could've been labeled as an attack. Whatever you may think of those posts, this post is not one, read this in a calm and collective tone. I was recently told by BlueFusion himself to stop posting these so called undertones, as they are "attacks" without any reason. He told me to "attack" with constructive criticism in order to further improve the server. (The original plan was to put a screenshot here instead of this paragraph, however for some reason it was edited out of his original message.) Anyway, I have recently gotten on the server for enough time, and I'm gonna express my real opinions. Partially, I think MineCraft's overall community is at fault for some of my complaints. Let's start off with the fact that it seems that no one wants to play the game anymore. We have already established that survival is dead. If survival has more than 5 people on they are admins or it's some special occasion. However it seems to me, based on the MegaCraft community, that Creative is dead as well. This is an average chat almost every time I join mega. *Just Joined* frozenluvr54: "Any rps?!?!?!" username1: "Catherine: But Brett I love you!" username2: "GUYS TP FOR EROTIC HIGH SCHOOL RP" ivebeenimpaled69: "LET IT GOOOOOOOO" roleplayeveryday: "Brett: I'm sorry Catherine, but I love Hillary" princessanna1234: "any frozen rps im getting bored" olafthesnowman: "FROZEN RP TPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP" *spams 20 more times* (It's not Frozen. Yes, I've seen the movie. No, I am not a "new person." Yes, I have a slight problem with (almost) grown men obsessing over it, but hey, I guess we all have our guilty pleasures. Like Frozen? Cool. Wanna come on to the server to simulate Elsa's powers? Go ahead. I don't care.) MegaCraft used to have energy. People were constantly building unique, awesome PvP arenas, building unique, awe-inspiring towns and begging for players to build a house. People were creating shops, fishing docks, having an extensive head collection! Mega had all the minigames, Spleef, PvP, SG. The MegaCraft carnival, my gosh. We were wondering why MegaCraft wasn't a number one server. And it seems the new fad is to stand around and talk. Honestly, I feel that 75% of the Mega population joins the server with the intention of roleplaying, and not playing the game. I've heard the phrase "Any RPS?" hundreds of times. Yes, it's annoying, I can't get noticed by someone without messaging them. Every time I glance at the chat I cringe. Solution? Maybe a roleplay server with no interconnected chat, I don't know, it would leave Creative/MC2 dead though. MegaCraft has tons of improvements, like Creative Plots and WE. This is my opinion on what I think to be the biggest negatives. @BlueFusion12
You took the words right out of my mouth... We all wish we could return to the "glory days" of Minecraft. The original MegaCraft was something we all loved and enjoyed, however the Minecraft community today is far different than it was two years ago when MegaCraft first started. Instead of remaining stubborn to the changing dynamic, I knew I would have to make changes that would accommodate the alterations in the Minecraft community as a whole. That said, I'm planning a second "Survival Revival" that will hopefully bring some nice features that will encourage more of a community-based Minecraft experience and will hopefully bring some additional traffic to survival server.
Cole, you obviously haven't been active to notice that we already know. There have been countless threads on the topic. Besides, do you really think original survival was that great? Their builds etc? Most of the pvp arenas were square boxes made of glass. It was just as run over and unsightly as survival spawn is now. Sure, some people had cool builds. People like Dab had their iron farms. And the players? There were so many toxic players back then. People would steal other people's builds or grief them. They'd steal things and then the staff would have to fix it. Sometimes the person who stole never came back on so it was impossible to get the item back. And pvp. People would tpa kill. There was raging over unfair pvp. Elites would fly away. There was warping in kitpvp. It was a mess. I hardily ever pvp'ed purely because it caused so much rage. It's not really much worse now than it was. We just need something more. Minigames and pvp would provide more of a point of interest and I think that's what Blue's working on now. Btw, if you actually have a point you want to make, joking doesn't really do anything. Just say what you mean.
I agree, whenever I have time to go on I go onto survival but there is always very few people on, then I switch over to creative and there are like 20 people on, but I still go back to survival and try to fix up my house that people keep griefing.
The whole point in all the post and threads: -People griefs/raids -Some rage-overload PVP -Unfair perks for donor-ranks -Spams(/me) -Boreeeeddd -RPs? =Player leaves yes the post is soo long and i didn't read it all lolol
Feuer Did U even Play 1.0? And I kinda Agree With Cole there was a certain type of buzz playing megacraft 1.0 but now when I play 2.0 everybody Is shouting RPS and advertising..
It would be cool If we had a server that have all the features of the old server and It had the old map In it and Had all are Builds..
There is nothing wrong with having roleplayers in creative, only annoying thing about them is the chat spamming with weird stuff, maybe private chat for roleplayers. I don't know how hard it would be to make something like /rp create <name> (like an group private chat) etc.. But that would help with the spam. And having roleplayers in creative, it may get some of the people inspired of someones building and then they start building their own. (As i did) And i think making new survival is good idea, but I've recently found new type of Minecraft server and it is really fun to play. It is called MMORPG (this is the type, not server name) , i wonder if mega could get a server like that in future. Its a big project, but worth it. The old map was "raped" with random buildings that was griefed or just looked terrible. The new protecting system is much easier, safer and faster to use, I feel like the survival is still waiting its time to become as popular as Creative or even more popular. There is people joining the survival as much as in creative, but the reason why i think they wont stay on the server is the spawn. Players will pretty much judge the server by the view that they see when they join the server. My opinion, don't be mad if you don't like it, just ignore it.
Yes, with the frozen server there are bound to be roleplayers, and that really makes sence consitering its a magic based server and such. Kids want to pretend that they are Elsa and they have the ability to freeze things, and make ice magic.. though that also happens on mega and not with frozen, there are multiple sets of role-players that are a constant on the server. and they are having fun, as staff we moderate chat and help those that have problems, not stop them from playing the game how they want to play, even if there was a separate chat for the role-players, what if something happened and staff didn't see it? that would lead into a large fight that would then cause bigger problems than if a few people don't like seeing an rp. as for spam if a staff member sees it they are quickly muted for the action. There are still people who build on the server and build fantastic buildings, Feur happens to be one of them. Don't misjudge the server for a few people who like to rp because the server is not just full of the role-players. As for the Survival server, i do believe people have a problem with the tutorial, often there are people asking how to get out of "spawn" despite the fact that if they read the sign that is right in front of them they would be able to know. with that, people don't actually spend the time reading the signs and advance simply to get out of the tutorial as quickly as they can with little hassle to them. perhaps making an area in the actual survival spawn where it shows some info that the tutorial has it might help that. as well as changing the server description from "Megacaraft 2.0 has arrived" to something that involves having the custom plugins? Bringing back the old map wouldn't really help anything, and more so would circle back around to what happened before with what dooff said. there was a reason for the map to be reset and for 2.0 to start, with that there are things that are being worked on that will help the server to gain more popularity and i for one trust Blue's Judgement with that.
Blue used to talk about making an interactive tutorial. I don't know if he's still planning to but that's the kind of thing that would keep players in. It'd be a lot better than reading tons of signs.
2 years ago the community was 11 years old. That's the difference. The behavior didn't change you were just not paying attention.
