Dear Victims of Blocktopia,
1. SMP ROLEPLAY
We have been jerked around in SMP's especially the last two we were promised a Role Play SMP where when released it was no where near complete often the first Role play factors did not come out in the first three months, by this time we lost a lot of the promising player base that the server started with. We have been led on months coming up to the release I'm not talking about the fact they say its coming out this week every week because obviously that's not their fault they are waiting on Bukkit and I will get to that. Its the hype they build up about all the things how it has a great storyline that players in the community and staff help make and it gets everyone so excited. If you truly want people to come and play and stay sell it for what it really is when it is released just a normal SMP or when it is released make it a real Role Play not 1 mission or no missions for a few months or so little they can be finished with in an hour then there isn't any released for a month. You may not have realized but in the past SMP's, in JTE and DoD you have been led on multiple times and promised certain things and for months been given hints at what is to come and it is often no where near what is said to be.
2. THE OVERHAUL
Zombie as many of us know and do not want to say was a huge let down with rarely enough players on at a time to enjoy the game, it sadly is something that has to go because it is not a one player game and or something that can be maintained for a long amount of time with many flaws in it that haven't been attended to and there does not seem to be any notable effort that it is being fixed. A&T is an interesting server to talk about since players do use it to host player made events however the turnout for those events are rather small and if there is no event going on the server is normally empty. This takes up space for promising servers that can be used we already know that Blocktopia has it available to put up servers temporarily like they do for beta or vanilla servers why not just do that whenever you're hosting an event since there is no game play on this server.
3. SPONGE
So now since bukkit is no longer around blocktopia has said they were looking for a replacement they claimed they would be using sponge. There another replacement that works, plugins that worked with bukkit still work in 1.8. If blocktopia really wanted they could have been using this and had an up and running server one month ago instead of waiting for sponge which maybe better but these are two very similar replacements for bukkit and I do not think there will be any noticable difference on the player side and the server is all about the players and their experience. It works just as well as Sponge will is Spigot here is the link for anyone who wants to check it out http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/bukkit-craftbukkit-spigot-1-8.36598/
I am not saying that I expect there to be a server running tomorrow or next week or at all I just am pointing out what I have noticed is going on in this community and I think it would be great to add new games but if you guys struggle to maintain a one game community how will you be able to expand and make a large number of games enjoyable?
