Where MCBall Went Right

We're stating actual problems, refer to Danster's post which covers nearly everything needed for the better of the server. Staying positive doesn't help when there's no players. Staying positive doesn't help when something needs fixing. However, you can keep a positive attitude while fixing the server, but just acting like everything's okay is naïve. Also, showing what MCBall did in the past isn't positive, either. It's a sign of weakness, if anything. "Hey, look at what we used to be able to do but can't now! Wasn't it so good back then? Shame it's a ****hole now." We don't need to evolve backward. 'Being nice' doesn't always cut it in a business situation, but being honest and productive gets you places. But you don't have to be negative about stating problems. Come up with the solutions to the problems instead of just marking them out, and be negative about it. Thank you for reading.

But you don't have to be negative about stating problems. Come up with the solutions to the problems instead of just marking them out, and be negative about it. Fair enough, here's a way to carry out each of Danster's points, since a lot of the main points are summarized in his post: 1. Staff/Update Issues- Waffle needs to hand down power if he isn't going to have the server as his top priority. Keep kit rotations going, but also add new maps, bring UUID's into light again (since a lot of people don't seem to understand it, and I sure don't understand UUID's in general.) and update the server as a whole. If and when we do get a steady playerbase back, we can get more donations which equals better developers, etc. that can improve the server. Also, advertisements need to happen. 2. Playerbase Issues- This is a BIG issue. Without a playerbase, we can't execute the points in #1. It's like the "what comes first, the chicken or the egg?" thing. Without updates and advertisements, we won't have a playerbase. Without a playerbase, we can't pay for those. I say we do whatever got MCBall players in the first place, which I don't know since I'm not a part of the staff team and I joined mid-2014. I joined because I was tagging along with my friend, jeussa, so if we get a small playerbase they could hopefully bring new friends. Along with a new playerbase comes people getting frustrated with skilled players. I say we make lobbies based on skill or have group lobbies similar to MPS's(private player servers created by high-ranked members) on Mineplex. (don't ban me for saying that server name, I think everyone knows it by now.) If that isn't possible, at least make a separate lobby that only players with certain stats can join, or make an automatic sorting thing based on the players' skill and amount of players in the lobby. I have a lot of ideas for making it a better place for new players, so tell me if you're interested. Update - I just remembered how inactive some reports are. For example, not to be impatient or anything, but I haven't gotten a word on my appeal. I'd like to get some form of response or update.

I know I'm somewhat guilty of this too but the "MCBall is dead" cancer is getting old now. I doubt the server will move forward since the devs lost interest, but one point we're bound to all agree on is you can't say MCBall is a failure. I had heaps of fun so I'll stick around until waffle stops paying enjin or something. Posted Nov 1, 16 Like x 7 x 7 List Undo

Instead of complaining maybe you guys should stay positive. Example I remember those old days, I remember when they first added colored armor\ I love it when they had those kits I dont get it... just be nice to eachother If anyone else is keeping up with the latest South Park... This reminded me of it so much EDIT: I have a serious response to all of this on my wall, and I think it is important to the conversation, but it may come across ad advertising or negative to the server so I will keep it there. If you aren't my friend and didn't get it in a notification, go check it out Posted Nov 1, 16 · Last edited Nov 1, 16 Like x 1 x 1 List Undo

Having this agenda is fun and all, but you can't say it was a standstill when we had upwards of 60 players on Free Kit Weekends 2 years ago.
