Current projects? Pray tell.

While I would love to see another attempt at a role-play server (which I could officially contribute to), I read over the forums everyday and come upon similar threads concerning role-play. The biggest driving factor for it at the moment seems to be the "sheer number" of players who want it. Yet, unfortunately, that isn't actually true. What we have here is a group of players, a very select group if I may add, that have convinced others to come to the forums and vote in favour of this. Ultimately, I don't think this server (at the moment) as enough players interested and who can actually commit to playing on a role-play server.

Personally, what I would do is take a step back and look at the big picture. I have some experience with hardcore role-play servers, and I can say comfortably that this time of year isn't a proper time to introduce one. I'd say a role-play forum (I know, that's been suggested) that was set upon themes that the server would tread with would be more beneficial for the players and staff. I'm not in charge, so I can't say if it's a yes or no, but I'd only ever introduce a role-play server in late June.

Now, please don't get me wrong. I'm devoted to the idea of a role-play server with Empire War. The true Empire War, for me, is the role-play server from long ago. I was made a moderator there, I shared some great experiences there with veteran players, and I thought overall the simplicity made it great. I just think this role-play server idea needs to be dropped for the next couple of months (trust me, it's annoying for the staff to come to the forums everyday and come upon the same hashtags) and resume the idea later on when a commitment can be made.

I'd also advise to tone down the use of hashtags. It's all fun and games, I know, but please don't go crazy and get carried away with them. We want to respect the wishes of others on here and have a clean forum that new players will want to come to and share their opinions and thoughts.

If you think from a 'hardcore' rp perspective it won't work. You are right that there are not enough players for a dedicated RP server. However if you have a 'soft' rp server with other elements (e.g. empires) it would be much easier. Basically an 'empire war' which BTW is the name of your server and this community.

But a RP server is not one of these, I simply won't waste any time and/or money into it, and it'll only deplete the amount of people on the siege server.[/quote]

I thought only_god said the problem wasn't financial?

[quote user_id="1636591" avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/Only_God/74.png" name="Only_God"]1. We have told you the problems, that's why I didn't mention them in that post. And we have figure out a way to solve the problems. And that involves letting us finish what we started, and not let us get side tracked. Your posts have made us consider re opening the rp server again, and yes we do want to re open it again. Isn't that enough? You will not get the rp server back asap, because it's going to take time.
And we can't just drop our current projects because a group of people want something else, that's simply unprofessional and dumb.

2. Yes ofc it won't be the same, that's what I said in my post. And then re creating rp and making it better? yes ofc that's what we're going todo if we re create the rp server. But with that, it just proves my point above stronger. We'll need to spent time and effort to re create the server, time and effort we need for our current projects.[/quote]

Loads of staff gave conflicting opinions on the main problem.

1. The problem is not financial.
2. There's no point trying to convince people like Akam to think differently, because they're to uncompromised. He and other people are going to keep asking for rp back, and when it returns they're probably gonna realize that you can't just re create the same experience again. Just like I can't re create the same amazing experience I had when I started playing minecraft at 1.3 beta. Sure I can downgrade and play it again, but it will never ever be the same.

Actually, my first time playing Minecraft (1.2.3) was hell. Because at that time I had only watched videos of PaluSoarsJr, COD4Nub, and such, playing alpha and the Yogscast playing SOI in beta. First thought: "Wtf are these weird brown things next to my hearts?"


Also if (I hope it's not too much to say when? ) you bring back the server . . .


MAKE THE SKILLS PLUGIN FASTER IT TAKES AGES TO REACH IRON AND THAT'S JUST DUMB


Or just ban anything but diamond helmets, swords, and tools.

Also I colored that mauve because "Mauve is the universal color for danger."

I'm still on board for a veteran only role-play server with those memorable OP skeletons.

Veteran only? I'd like that. Problem is, except Sjoerd and Farmer, only you, me and I believe Austin (I see him often on the server) are still the only ones who are still playing on the server.



And yeah, bloody skeletons D:<
