Rejected Private Party Lobbies

[PartyCapque]

Hello!
Summary
I have a suggestion that would be a nice addition for party-goers on the MCPZ server. As the title suggests, a party will be able to have their own private lobby, allowing them to play games with just their friends. The party leader will be able to do a command, a party lobby will be generated, and the party will then be teleported to the lobby. I believe the lobby should be a sort of island, where there is a centerpiece, and some scenery around it, where players can run around.

Features
-Party lobbies will only be available to donors
-The party leader will have a menu in their hotbar, where they can choose which game they want to play
-The party leader will be able to "promote" partiers to where they will be able to also pick a game
+A player that has already been promoted will NOT already be promoted in the party lobby
-If the party leader leaves the lobby, the lobby will shut down after a few minutes
+This will happen unless there is a "promoted partier" present
-If any player hasn't moved for 5-10 minutes they will be accounted as AFK, and will be kicked
-If the party is disbanded while the party lobby is still running, the party lobby will be shut down
-If a player is kicked from the party, they will also be kicked from the party lobby

Commands
/party lobby create | Creates the lobby
/party lobby delete | Deletes the lobby (The party will NOT be disbanded)
/party lobby promote | Promotes a player in the party lobby

Okay, I might have left some things out, but I do think this is a nice addition for partiers. I would, of course, love some feedback on whether you like this idea, or not.

This was suggestion so many times before and the reason were it would be hard to moderate the private server.

This would require so many servers, would be hard to moderate, and could be used to stat farm (people have a party with a bunch of alt accounts or friends, and they allow each other to win every time to rank up).

I wouldn't be suprized if someone has done this lol.

Also that reminded me... if you want a private place simply join a game and ask people kindly to leave.

I can see what you are saying, but, if you look at other servers that have implemented a feature similar to what I have presented, you would see they don't have the same problem

Developers could definitely fix that problem to where people don't level up in these party lobbies. Party lobbies should just only be for hanging out with your friends.

are you throwing shade at me because I've never done that xD.

Oh yeah that'd be cool too, I just felt like some people wouldn't care to play if they're not ranking up, but I guess people would!

The thing is, people aren't always going to leave if you ask them. A party lobby is a completely private lobby for you and your friends. Having this kind of environment won't have any distractions.

Yea I understand what you mean. Yet let me list all the down sides
- the servers aren't moderated
- players might not be on the public murder servers that often.
- training a player without affecting their rank or leveling up a player with affecting their rank.
The third one is what I truly believe the others were just what other people said.

I would never ;3 some people do care about having fun. I enjoyed the game and never cared about my rank before the rank changes if I want to be honest. But once people left me and ranks changed I felt like the ranks were the only think I had left so I cared about them.

Same here, I used to care until ranks went away and then came back a couple months later. I just enjoy the game!

On another server, that I will not name, there are public and private lobbies. Although the public servers aren't as tame as the private ones, not many problems are presented there. There is the occasional spam, but I will say that this server is relatively bigger than MCPZ. As I said before, the private lobbies are tamer, therefore, I strongly believe not many problems will arise.

As with your concern with not having enough players on murder; not many people go and party together. I strongly disagree that there won't be a lot of players on murder at a time, due to the fact that murder is the most popular game on MCPZ.

Sure, they are being trained, but you're ultimately forgetting the main point here: hanging out with your friends. If people want to get better, while ranking up, then they should play murder publicly, which just adds onto my second point.

You sure do make great points that is for sure.
That server might be a bit different from this one. Yet training publicly is always better because of well detailed stuff ( don't feel like typing all of it o.o). I did not forget your main point. Yes it is nice to hang out with your friends yet people would most likely abuse their power of having private lobbies. I don't think I can say much more to influence your opinion. Hope your suggestion helps you or turns out well!

Good Idea. Although It Would Be Hard To Moderate As Above Says.
But. Maybe you need to buy it with coins. In HUB It Says On Right > COINS = ??? I Think We Should Buy It With 100 For Each Private Game Lobby You Want? So It Would Say "MURDER" - 100 Coins or Such "DOWNGRADE" - 100 "PARTY GAMES" - 50 Or So? I Don't Think Creative Should Be Privated. Because Theirs Only 1 Of It
+1 Though!

 

[Lolbye]

This has been suggested many times and the reasons behind why it has not been added is because of the moderation issues and the possibility of it being abused. Even if its just ranks.
Plus this unfortunately could be used as a way to farm levels on games. I know its possible to fix, but it takes a while to even set up these commands for the developers. Yes its possible, but the development team are busy enough with the new games, commands, and so on.

Although the thread I'm linking this to is directed at murder only, half of the reasons given are the reasons why it hasn't been implemented and why it probably never will.

The simple answer is we don't have the kind of resources to run private lobbies. Larger servers can afford to do this, but we don't have enough players and thus income to support such a costly idea.

Get PartyZone in the 1000s player count wise and we'll consider it further

Rejected for now
