Minemaxwilde, you dont have to make a whole topic, put it in the Minecraft Hacker Reporting topic

I've been letting this linger for a while now, but seeing as Ywa is gearing up a new Mr. Green refresh soon, it's time to review my role. Ever since I stopped managing the Minecraft server I haven't been active here. Truth is I moved onto other games. Plus I'm working on finishing up my education and finally graduate from university. After that I hope to start a professional game development career, specializing in the new wave of virtual reality gaming
 
So from today forward, I'm no longer part of the TopCrew.
 
It's been many fun years. I joined back in 2006 / 2007 after regularly playing on the GMod Zombie Survival. After I started modding it, things just kept on going. The donation system, !ravebreak, Infected Wars, Team Fortress 2 Arena / Payload, Minecraft... lots and lots of hours spend on those. I still remember the topic that introduced Minecraft to the community. Our very first survival multiplayer server, and the many worlds that came after.
 
I want to thank everyone that made these years enjoyable and worthwhile. The regulars, the forum goers, and the people that bravely stood on the frontlines as game admins. Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks Ywa for giving this opportunity and managing the server back-end. I'll probably drop by from time to time to hear the mandatory "everything was so much better when you were around" comments
 
You can always add me on Steam if you haven't already. I'm always interested in chatting about gaming or game dev topics. Still playing games on a daily basis (Battlefield 4 and Arma III nowadays).
 
Game on everyone 

Any version of the above suggestions has me as gitty 16 year old girl the night of her junior prom. I used to be EXTREMELY active on l4g. I used to build super structures for LRG, and made them the legendary power house we remember. But for a long time, there has been no place for building anything other than water cubes. I would be thrilled to construct an empire (not lead, I have had enough of dealing with 12 yo scrubs)!!! You wouldn't believe some of the things I have made on other servers!! I am getting out the pen and paper, time to start the schematics. 

Dat dick.. gave me nightmares.

Well, I've officially lost all faith in the Minecraft server ever being revived to it's former glory. Usually upon map resets the server is full for a couple days; I haven't seen it full once since the recent reset. It's barely half occupied.
 
Quite frankly, I believe the server has passed a point of no return, due to a variety of reasons:
 
1. As much as I respect Clavus' decisions regarding the server, they simply have driven away many players. How can an admin who doesn't even play on the server decide what's best for it? Sure, Clavus has years of experience under his belt regarding administering servers, but too much has changed for those years of experience to be practical. 
 
2. The Minecraft community in general has devolved to, a group of young kids. The older Minecrafters simply don't play anymore. I remember giving an 8 year old guy some supplies to get started (later quit).The server environment promotes success as a result of hard work- something the majority of players on the server (children) simply don't have the patience to do. The result? A bunch of noobs sitting in water cubes or running around spawn.
 
3. The quality of playing has also decreased dramatically. I joined at a time where the server was already declining, and only got a taste of the epic faction wars that once were. I downloaded an old MrGreen Save and I was simply amazed by the scale of some the old bases, like LRG's or Discord's. You don't find that at all now. Everyone sits in water cubes grinding away on enchants, only leaving to spawn kill noobs with nothing. PvP is near impossible without someone spamming 10 damage potions at you. 
 
For these reasons, I have decided to stop playing MrGreen MC actively. There's simply no point. There's no PvP action, no one to appreciate a base well built and no hope in sight for anything to be fixed. Despite the player counts, MrGreen was always fun. It was so addicting- the atmosphere of competition was intense. Was. 
 
I'd be happy to see the server a simple survival server, or anything really. Something that reflects the quality gaming MrGreen is known to provide. 
 
 
I'm starting to get the feel the admins just don't like the server anymore. If you want to get rid of it, or stop it, please don't leave us hoping for a better future. 
 
 
Sincerely, 
 
a severely nostalgic MCer

k then.

Times New Roman wasn't needed.

He spelt it the same way as you.

Happy birthday Dr. Ywa

Hi, with stuff like this you really need proof. A picture of Mathijs leaving your faction doesn't show much, Multiple screenshots, screenshots of chat would act as better evidence, even better would be a recorded video, please consider this when making admin abuse topics.

Server's getting a bit dull, with all real player activity ending 1-2 weeks post-map reset. There's simply not much to do- there's a couple noobs messing around at spawn but not much else.
Back in 1.2.5, things were much different. Granted, many players stayed Due to duping, but the setup was much better.
Therefore I suggest the following, since we KNOW it works:
1. No public end. We had it this map and the faction that had the end wasn't overpowered at all. The pearl plugin also allows some flexibility for end access.
2. Enchantment restrictions lifted. They were fun for awhile but its evolved into more potion spamming than pvp. Because of orbrefusactor, people won't have triple/quad grinders to get xP, making p4 and sharp 5 hard to get.
3. Two way teleporters to spawn. Self explanatory, makes for easy access to spawn without /spawn and forces people to come out of their bases.
4. Regular pearls (maybe)
Now I'm just asking for ONE map with these settings as an experiment. If it doesn't work, well who knows then. Hopefully this will rejuvinate people's interest in the server and make it lively again.
I plan to make a faction based on recruiting new players along with Demacia. Obviously this will take a lot of work, which I don't want to go to waste after 1-2 weeks.
I appreciate constructive criticism from anyone that actually plays the game.

You're one to talk!

I was on my way to raid some faction, when some noobs start attacking me. When I try to get them out of the way, I can't seem to hit them, an obvious indicator of lag. I would be dead if it was another guy with good gear, so its pretty important something is done...
 

 
 
Yes, I live in America, so my connection is obviously not as good, but other European players have experienced the same issue. 
 
 
Is this a plugin problem? My internet issue? Serious lag issues started to pop up around the time we got the new xray plugin or whatever. 
 
 
Thanks -Kod
 
 

Hello Everyone,
 
 
This map, I've decided to go ALL out on building an epic base. I usually just make an obsidian sphere with a castle like surrounding, but I'm completely redoing my style and doing something different. 
 
I do find, however, most factions just stick themselves into an ugly water cube or underground obsidian shack and call it a day on their base. This makes the maps dull and boring. 
 
This is why I've decided to create a Building Contest for the server! (I won't enter myself). It'll be boring if I'm the only one that makes a big base and everyone just lazes around in water cubes, so I want some competition! Additionally, this will give players a motivation to play (perhaps our long missed admin Clavus who likes building) other than PVP, which will PERHAPS aid our flailing player base. 
 
Mathijs will handle rewards. 
 
The contest will end halfway during the map, giving players time to build and use their prizes in pvp. Assuming normal maps are 2-3 months, the contest will end April 20th, in which that time I (or a possible admin) will judge your bases. 
 
If I end up judging, I will base my decision on the following categories:
 
    Outside Apparel: How the base looks from a raider's point of view
 
    Inside Apparel: How the base looks from the inside
 
    Contraptions: How many cool redstone, mob traps, etc you have, and how they function
 
    Functionbility: Is your base all looks or does it do it job? (ie. TNT proof, easy to defend or not, secure)
 
    The "X" factor/bonus: Anything that makes your base pop out from the rest
 
To enter, put your faction name and your leader down below. 
 
Edit: Mathijs will judge my own base, so I'm entering.

Every map, the area around spawn is demolished by creeper holes, making an unsightly server for new players. 
 
 
The plugin above, world guard, allows you to select an area (via world edit) and set specific rules for that area (ie. No pvp or not, fire spread,, building ability, mob spawning etc). 
 
If you selected an area around around spawn which disabled mobs this would solve the creeper issue. Newer players could also venture out a little while before getting attacked by mobs, and still being able to build. There's some other applications of this which I'm sure would be useful as well. 
 
Server probably already has it but I'm not sure
