Why won't people leave their bases to fight? People are afraid of losing their hard earned armor and swords. Want more people to fight? Make it easier to cap out armor and swords Make it easier to get diamonds If it becomes no big deal to lose gear, then why not try fighting that guy you think is too hard to kill, yet never fought him? If you remove enchants, then you make it harder to get diamonds, harder to mine faster, harder to swim faster, harder to dig faster etc. If you make it harder to get and do things, less people will leave their bases We have seen this in the last 2 attempts of brewing island and enchanting island. Those maps had a HUGE proportion of peaceful factions. making things harder to get isn't the answer. Make getting diamonds easier. Make getting XP easier. Make getting Potions easier.
