For the past few months ive been reading in the announcements page and on discord that PZ was gonna do things to make the server start expanding and what not but instead has just been progressively dying. Or if they have been doing these things why isnt it working? Why could they average a couple hundred players in 2015,16 and early 2017 and not now? For crying out loud you cant even get in a match of murder that has more than 7 people in it. i have a few reasons why but id rather not say or i might get a warning for staff disrespect. Cough Cough.

i like the changes where the child-friendly c-word for 'poop' is now a swear word. I got warned for using it, and i used to say it all the time. Great changes, guys
 
Honestly the new changes to make pz "better" are honestly making it worse. yes younger people play on pz bt it's not like they are 3. i see why people leave pz because of the changes. But then you have streams that have people swear. and how does this all make sence. It doesn't.

We’ve changed it back to not being punishable, unless of course it’s used to be inappropriate or rude.

Not a thing anymore. We looked at what y'all said about it and decided the majority don't consider it a swear. :p

The streams were because we had realized we are growing up. We let people know that the streams are going to be M rated with games rated above PG. We basically let our Twitch followers get a taste of a common stream full of familiar people from the server. We can't let y'all say/do M rated things on the server, as we'd have to advertise the server as M rated.

Then how come I was warned for saying it
The change was a couple of days ago. If it was before then, you would have been warned.

You just now realized that? What I really dislike about this server is the fact the management never sat well with me. The staff team looked more like a popularity of players rather than a good team that tries their best to find hackers and rude peoples. As well the fact it feels like it has been 3 years since the development of the goodie bags had been announced. I find it a bit sad imo. I understand the management and dev team has taken some major changes yet I would expect a year of work to atleast give the goodie bag update out. The team is made of volunteers which is competely reasonable yet the update to take this long is just well insane.

I just hope the server will get better in management and in the game development. Yet 3 years and counting nothing has really significantly changed.
 
Yeah, that's a good point. I want to open them lol. When I first joined there were chests in the hub but you couldn't open them, now there's no chests and you still can't open them

warn me, i dare you

But yeah, this is some serious stuff. Let's face it, the server has been going downhill in terms of player count. The numbers have been terribly low, in summer. If I recall correctly, summer was a more popular time for players to be online the server because they weren't as busy with school. Player counts usually went down in the fall because of school, and if that happens again this year... yikes.

This is incorrect. For a start, a lot of players aren't in school. Another thing is that it's the holidays. People often go away on holiday and, you know, enjoy the summer. And if a lot of the players are in school, they will probably have to do what their parent(s)/career(s)/guardian(s) tell them. Meaning if their parent(s)/career(s)/guardian(s) tell them they have to go on holiday, they normally can't refuse.

I'm going to have to disagree with you, for reasons of personally being on the staff team and being a player on the network for 3 years.
From what I see from our staff team is full of extremely hardworking people that dedicate not only their time but resources in making the server a safe, comfortable place for all players. Whether is a chat offense or a disallowed modded client, our team works around the clock making sure exceptional results are given to not us, the staff team, but the players. Yes, I completely agree development is a bit slow right now, but I can assure you that they -goodie bags- will be implemented soon enough as well as many other exciting new updates and perks. I know it's a basic thing to say, but you have to be patient.

warn me, i dare you

I agree with you, summer is a time for booming player count but there are many reasons besides the fact that updated are slightly delayed.
Many players, in general, are leaving MineCraft seeking for more interesting recent games such as Fortnite or PUBG. Interest has gone down a lot in the past 5 years, shown here along with compared statistics once Fortnite was released. I think it would be extremely ignorant of me to completely deny the fact that yeah, updates are delayed, but it's even more ignorant to solely base the decline in player count over delayed updates and such.

It is allowed as long as it isn't meant in an inappropriate or mean/rude manner.

don't double post






and yeah, I agree, interest can shift to different games, but I wasn't solely blaming it on delayed updates.

You're right, I removed it- my apologies!:)

haha it's okay, I was just trying to tease. No harm done lol

I definitely don't know the best solution to the problem of low player counts. I've never run a server before. But I hope we can figure something out soon!
