What's The Point? -Survival Recently, Survival has been empty. I've heard loads of people (on forums and server) say "Survival is so boring, no one ever goes on it" "What's the point in Survival?" "It's no fun!" and other stuff like that. It has come to my attention that it is the same players on survival everyday (John, Foxy and I) and never anyone else. It's quite sad, really. When survival 1.8 came out, everyone was so excited, saying it will be the core of the server. Now, it's been dumped in the corner, never to be played on again. People are obviously not enjoying survival, but why? I've been lonely on the server, lately, so I've experienced the 'no people' thing quite a lot. I've been thinking, why don't I make a thread on it, to see what could be improved? Anyway, lets move on. I've heard a few people *cough* Ivy *cough* say they want people to go on survival. People say it just gets boring, but how can you say that when you have no reason? This thread was made so you can tell staff why it is boring. Then, if they have time, they can fix those problems. This might make survival a bit more fun? All this leads me and others to think, is there really a point in survival? Isn't it just the same as SinglePlayer if no ones ever on? The only difference between SinglePlayer and BCSN Survival is that BCSN Survival can have lag at times, and that's bad! Restart? (Maybe?) I know the new survival has only been out for about three months. Four? So it'd be quite an early restart, but the question is: If we restart it, will players come back? I'm really not sure if it's just me, but all the time I'm on I think there should be a restart. Then, the server would actually be played on. But then, in the long run, what's the point in resetting it when in two months time, no one will be on it? Hmm. Well, I don't know. I'll leave this one up to staff. Another thing you could do is ask players if they's come on if there was a restart? Remember, this is just an idea. Conclustion Okay, time to finish, you've been listening for long enough. I might be completely wrong in making this thread. Maybe people go on when I'm asleep (I run by GMT), am I right, no? Please tell me if people do come on when I'm asleep, because then this thread is completely worthless . (I really am sorry if this whole thing is pointless) Anyway, that's all I have to say. And people, please consider coming on survival, it really is lonely . -Cyrilster
There just more then just. Foxy You and John. There are totally more ppl when your asleep or not. You may need to ask ppl to join, idk?
This happens all the time. It's a cycle. Server hype --> Everyone gets full diamond enchanted --> They die and lose their stuff --> Quit survival in the rage --> Server dies off --> Staff restarts server to restart cycle.
I would just like to point out, I don't play on survival mainly because there isn't anything to really do once the enderdragon is killed and you have done almost everything in the game. What I suggest is an end reset on a regular basis. If this isn't achievable, I suggest a server such as faction instead of survival. I have heard multiple people say they want factions, so why don't we implement it. Not only will more people use it, but the games of factions is never ending, thus solving the problem of lack of players.
People on survival already have everything. So what's the point in building on survival when you can build faster & better on creative?
Some people still play on survival so ai don't think it would be fair on them if we where to reset it, however I think Azza said on the server earlier that we may be getting factions.
The Point of multiplayer survival servers is a to build a strong community. When the server came out I was so hype because we never see these kinds of servers anymore. If we were to reset, people may play for a good month or so before it repeats itself. I guess there is a limit to the fun in survival for some people, but others like to keep playing after they have essentially everything in the game. So I don't know. I hope we get factions, I used to love them so much. I stopped playing because all faction servers are PTW. But yeah, factions gives you a lot of things to do so it may have more activity.
I have a good one, but I don't want to advertise Well then, the thing I have to say is... I still go on SinglePlayer after the Dragon is gone, and many other people do, so why do people not carry on after the Dragon is gone? Mojang said MC was endless. Okay, yeah, the Dragon is gone, it gets a bit boring. You can still build things. People are going to say "You can build things on Creative, Noob" but there's a joy of building on survival. You have to work for things, meaning it's fun. You also cannot fly meaning it is more of a challenge (in my perspective, this is all fun, don't know about you). Some people do still play on survival, and it wouldn't be fair if we reset it, yes. But then, how else would you get people to play. I've tried three or four times now, with new people who have joined. I've given them diamonds, helped them build a house and go mining with them. Give them iron, teach them about claiming. (No joke). I say "Cya tomorrow! Can't wait to help you again!" and the next day, they never come back on. For me that's essentially wasting diamonds/iron for others. I know most people are going to say "It's your choice!" and it is; I just want people on the server (survival), though. As I've already said, it's more of a challenge, meaning for me, it's more fun, don't you think? You've actually got to work for things, and you normally put more effort into it. If you want to see some good builds on survival (and quite a lot on creative, too) check out @xBayani's channel on YouTube. Just what I think! -Cyril
Restarting would not bring new players most likely - people that don't play Survival will not begin to play Survival and the difference between regular singleplayer and BuildCraftia is great. Access to several other servers, economy, rank system, MULTIPLAYER, etc.
survival and creative are nothing unique either and theres so many creative and survival servers so... same with like skywars and other things just sayin'
Hmmph when the first survival was out lots of people but then it restarted ---> Less players then if it restarts again Possibly no one would play on it They probably don't play survival cause they lost their stuff.
We should totally have like a mix between chaos and factions. Like you can wage war between factions or something.
