Popular Gamemodes

I made a thread about this, but I want to show the point AGAIN.

Meepcraft is dying. It is not dead, but dying. The way to revive the server? Popular gamemodes.

"Ooh I don't like popular gamemodes! They are all grind and no fun!"

Yeah, you say that. I say that. Millions of other people who play Minecraft don't. Instead, they play on big servers, you can guess which ones, because they are gamemodes, like prison, FACTIONS, skywars, and HG (broken here)! Let me go into detail on each one:

Prison:

All grind. I know. Players are sometimes toxic (oh boy wait till factions), I know. But guess what? This server needs prison. It remains one of the most popular gamemodes in existence, and nobody can argue that. It may not be fun to you guys, but it is to many others.

Factions:

My favorite! Players are toxic af most of the time. Something you guys ignore are rules that we have. Players toxic here? Don't exist. Why? THEY ARE BANNED. WHAT IS DIFFERENT HERE? It is, and always has been the most popular gamemode for Minecraft. Meepcraft has had it. Guess what? It never had proper funding, effort put into it, or management. As a result, it has failed. We need to try it again. It cannot possibly hurt the server.

Skywars: Extremely popular gamemode now. We need it.

HG: We have. Fix it for damn sakes.


My point is that we need these gamemodes. Sure, they aren't unique, but they will give us something to build upon for a playerbase when we do come out with unique gamemodes. You guys might not want to give up server space to make these popular gamemodes, but we have to. When people see ads for this server, they know what prison, factions, skywars, HG, etc are. But they have no damn clue what infected, or boomo, or any other god damn gamemode we have is. They skip meepcraft, and go to servers with gamemodes they know. We have to change, because soon it will be too late. I mean that. I've played here for 4 years, and I've never seen anything this bad.

I repeat. Meepcraft is not fine, it is dying. Help it.

I think it looks bad on the server when we have 10 different empty minigames. There aren't enough players on the server to play these games, and the more thinly spread our playerbase is the worse off we are.

 

I would really agree with this. Also potentially getting more twch could allow us to code faster. @DBLOSEVN is a freaking beast. But if we have more tech we could code THIS @Fuzzlr you want us to be unique, I get it. But eventually we need to change. Sometimes change is good

 

Please add Skywars. It's an insanely popular game, that my friends and I constantly play of dif servers. I believe the game would be filled (if done right) and attract new players.

 

Personally, I like Meep because it DOESN'T have prison, but as long as it's separate, I'd be for it. As for skywars, never tried it myself, but I hear it's insanely fun. Factions. . .I can personally say at least 12 people I know will come to the server if we have factions. Overall, I think Meep would benefit greatly from the suggested game modes. Fix what we already have first though! It may not be my favorite game, but Infected can be so much fun. HG is epic as well. Of course, this should probably go in Suggestions, but what do I know?

 

I LOVE Skywars. I used to play it all the time on this one large server because it had 15+ different gamemodes. People would build 10 block high bases and collect snowballs from the chests the had and try to push people off their islands.
HG is a gamemode I still play on another server, which basically makes the actual gamemode more fun. What they did was that they added enchanted pieces of armor, horse spawn eggs, and even powerups where you can strike a player with blindness for 10 seconds.
About Factions and Prison... I still have a negative experience with those two. I was playing on a Factions server, and there was a speed hacker that no one had dealt with. People were complaining, but there were no staff members at all on the server. The player ruined Factions for everyone online at the time and caused half to leave. Prison I don't find fun. At all. Honestly, just because it's considered "FUN" doesn't mean it can help save the server. I know that one of the main purposes is to be able to survive in prison and not get destroyed by other players. But there are other players who grind from new players.

In my opinion, meepcraft should focus on towny and a few core minigames, such as Halo, HG, KitPVP, SB, and CTF. As of late, there has been an effort to diversify content. However, bug fixes, map additions, and overall maintenance to new content has been sporadic at best, giving an overall negative impression, and creating an atmosphere of decay and neglect. Since the development team has been stretched so thin, I suggest that the we choose a small number of minigames to focus on, which must then be maintained and kept in shape. Any attempts to diversify content without repairing existing content will be wasted as long as existing content isn't maintained. For example, if you join the server and see a new promising minigame called AAA, you'd want to stay. However, if you explore the rest of the server and see the bugs and glitches that abound, you would quickly realize that any bugs with AAA aren't likely to be fixed in a looooong time. Then you quit.

If you look at the most successful servers, they repair bugs very quickly and prioritize repairing existing content over giving a half-assed effort on developing new content. Come on. I don't even get why there's a debate over this--it should be simple.
