Just cause he is good with computers doesn't mean the job is fit for him... The new admin needs to have experience in plugin management.
I prefer restarting :/ cause I know I can collect all those diamonds again and continue to show off my wealth xD
I just noticed a few of you saying I was leaving to work on another server. In case you weren't aware what the RPG server is, you should read the following topic http://minecraftcc.com/index.php?threads/project-x-revealed-ama.3766/ I am in fact still working on a CC project.
Not really. It's very difficult for even just two people to try and manage the same server. Oli and I tried that, haha. Without knowing every change that the other person makes, it's just too difficult to keep track of what the current setup is like, etc.
Here's the problem with that, Micko. People won't just complain; they'll outright leave. We hardly have enough players as it is, and losing so many people would destroy the community.
On the other hand, if we are to keep just 1 or 2 worlds, we'll probably have to get rid of Clans and start a new pvp since the plugin might not be retained and all the warps and groups would fall apart. So that leaves Survival and Build intact, but only one gets to stay, so which one to keep?
I'd say Survival seeing as people can still build on there, and those who want mobs get them. Creative is also easy because all it is is creative mode.
I don't mean what gametype, that it still up for open debate and ideas. But would we keep one of the old worlds?
I would like to keep the current build world around because I've been doing a ton of work there building a city, here's the coordinates if you want to take a look for yourself. (X:-18,300 Z:-13,000)
Now this is just plain untrue, creative was one of the trickier world setups. But anything is possible. For everyone speculating and arguing, lets wait and see what the new update brings. Considering their will be a new API and backwards compatibility for bukkit was never promised, we may be in a deeper crapstorm than worrying about which map to use anyways. So point being, chill until it is time to decide things for certain.
Not my place really, but heres my thought about that question. I beleive that if more than 1 or 2 people are helping run the server, there will be conflicts between ideas and jobs.
So what are the options for the future? Are we looking towards a fresh start? I would just like to throw out that I had just as much (or even more) fun playing on the older, simpler server(s) as I do on the newer complex one. And for those of you who are asking to keep certain worlds, quit worrying. They're not going to dump all of the old maps out of existence, you just may not be able to access them come the next update for a while. I'm sure someone will make them available for download later on sometime at the very least. I completely support your decision to step down and Sarge, I support any decision you have for the future of the server. You handled things like this well before, you can handle them well again. Oh... By the way, I am SUPER PSYCHED for the RPG server.
Yes, RPG server is going to be awesome! As Dr said, we're kind of at a "wait and see" point right now. We don't know for sure what maps will continue to be active, what maps will be retired, and what gametypes they will be. I am certainly open to hearing input, but we're not going to make any definite decisions at this point.
Not for certain, but it is likely that we will move to a 2-world setup at this point. We won't be losing the maps either - I will still have them, and plan to make them available for download. We just wouldn't be hosting those particular world types for the time being.
If we are going to have to condense, I think we should try to merge Build and Survival in some way, either make it a pure survival world with mobs and no griefing, or perhaps a world with mobs but no damage or creeper explosions, like what we had in the old two server set up. The worlds are close enough to where merging would not be too great a loss in terms of gameplay.
Except for the people who only want to build.... like the original CRAFTERS COMMUNITY..... If anything PVP and Survival are more similar than Build and Survival.
I agree with Frothing on this one - PVP and Survival are better suited to be on the same world. Still, thanks for your input Fierce!
yeah... if we're to have just one world... I'd rather it be a build world. Back in Alpha, that's what attracted me to the server in the first place.
