    Suggestion Monthly Check In -- why are players not staying?

    Except you do need those people in the community. And players do get harassed first thing on the server. Unfortunately most of them whine and complain in the chats hoping for help, not realizing that it is exactly the reaction the aggressors are hoping for. Many of the posts in this thread come...

    Suggestion Monthly Check In -- why are players not staying?

    Most reasonable people understand that there are many undesirable behaviors taking place on the server and that the prevalence of such is effecting the server population in a negative way. Not only is the server having trouble retaining players, the players that are staying, or a very high...

    Suggestion Monthly Check In -- why are players not staying?

    Thank you. I think we both joined around the same time and that is exactly the atmosphere I would like to rekindle. I would hope that one day the guard could be scaled back or even eliminated and that role filled by the good towns again. However right now there just aren't enough players willing...

    Suggestion Monthly Check In -- why are players not staying?

    Just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it isn't happening. I have been on HC a long time andI have seen many new players as well older players that prefer building to fighting leave the server because they were harassed to the point where it just wasn't fun to play. These were not whiny...

    Suggestion Monthly Check In -- why are players not staying?

    Any online game will have these type of players/behaviors. If well managed and balanced against it can be an interesting element to the game. The issue is that to retain players you need 60-80% good players and 20-40% bad players. HC has evolved over the last few years to be about 80-90% bad...

    Suggestion New Player Retention - Mentor / Squire System

    There are still older people playing Minecraft, just not on HC due to the toxicity/immaturity of much of the player base. You want to keep people active in your town stop asking them to build. I used to build a storage level and a barracks. Every towny got a small room and a small storage...

    Suggestion Monthly Check In -- why are players not staying?

    @Trazil I would like to touch briefly on your comments about xarxu. This situation is an example of a breakdown in the system. It takes all types of players to keep a server going. They key is to manage them properly steering them away from negative behavior and towards activities that benefit...

    Suggestion Monthly Check In -- why are players not staying?

    High levels / Veterans are camping newbies off the server. I have two suggestions to combat this 1. Institute a police force/guard unit. You could start by conscripting the guides and proctors as the guard could fill these roles as well. Guards would be a server staff playable class organized in...

    Suggestion Adminshop

    A well managed admin shop can benefit the economy of any server. The key is to sell very high and buy very low. This allows new players, especially when starting during low player count time periods to establish themselves, and to have access to any needed items without supplanting the player...

    Where is everyone?

    I would like to know more about this all in one experience. If it fits with what I'm looking for I would be willing to help make it happen. As you know I can both build stuff and do plugin config.
