What is this server's fate?

I hate to admit it, but you're right. I completely agree. We aren't going to last.

Some of what you said was true, but the server won't lose hope.

I'm sure the server will be fine, but it's never going to be the same as it used to be.

Bullshit. We're doing great and always will.

I don't want to get involved in this. The admins have to make the call.

Was this the outcome we wanted?
« on: September 25, 2013, 01:50:33 pm »
So... I've been thinking a lot lately. Has our community been torn apart? I believe so.


The pvp server was a lovely place to be, with the traditional pvp using swords, axes and bows. We had Teams, gymleader ranks, stats and badges to make our pvp skill stand out. I hate to say it, but I think those days are gone.


I blame the Pixelmon Server.


A number of you are likely to disagree, but really think. Somewhere along the line, we were torn apart. This forum is the only thing keeping us together. You may not want to hear this, but be honest. Pixelmon has gotten really boring, and we can't return to our old server because we've moved on.


I'm not saying that the new server is to blame for those who have recently left, because they have school and stuff. What I'm saying is that it's only a matter of time before the remaining number of us go our separate ways.


Pixelmon was supposed to be a gift, but after a few weeks of excitement, we should be able to admit that it isn't going to ever replace the pvp server.


"Replace? What an odd word to use, considering the pvp server still exists." It still exists on the outside, but it really doesn't on the inside.


Those who couldn't download Pixelmon have been swept away be the loneliness of the empty pvp server. There are inbetweeners, like me who only go on to stop yourself timing out from your house, or log on hoping desperately for a familiar face.


I would like to hear everyone's opinion on this. If the admins feel this is the wrong section to put this in, move it. I couldn't really put this in the pvp server or pixelmon section specifically because this is to do with both, and general discussion is for unrelated things.


The admins who don't already hate me are going to hate me when they read this:
The golden days of the pokemon server are gone.

Please be honest and agree with me. Deep inside you know I'm right. I think you may be to afraid to admit it. It is only a matter of time before this server is shut down.

agreed. ever since the pixelmon server went up, the pvp server kinda died. I miss the days we had wars at spawn but now you be lucky to have more then 5 people on. I still see some of the people who still come on but they never stay on long or just go away and get kicked by console and never come back on cause the server did not have the flare it did when I first joined. I suggest we get one day where we try and get everyone to come back on and hopefully that might bring back some of former members of the server. kinda of like a group gathering or something. if this works they might start coming back and maybe it will not be like the golden days but make it so it's a fun place to be rather then a random pvp server with no one on it.

Tl;dr: Pixelmon server tore us apart and the good old days are gone.
But you shouldn't have to call on us to hold your hand for every step of trying to resolve an issue.

or maybe it's because it's fall and a lot of people have started school and are sort of caught up with schoolwork?

I can't always get on because i have school problems. So its not really because of the pixelmon server the servers(The pixelmon and the Pvp servers) can get pretty busy during the weekends because thats when they get time to relax.

If you read what I said, I didn't say the Pixelmon server was responsible for the leaves, I said it will be responsible for the future leaves.

The admins who don't already hate me are going to hate me when they read this:
The golden days of the pokemon server are gone.

Just saying, for a lot of the 'original' players of the server, the golden days were back n 2011, for me the golden days were early 2012. Its all dependant on when you joined.

Take thort for example (extreme case). The server is completely different now than when he played. It probably changed a lot since then to when I joined.

Point being, server is doing fine, its in a bit of an inactive stage as it gets from time to time. It won't be shut down, not until Minecraft loses popularity at the very least.

Pixelmon may have 'torn' the community a bit, but for now the real 'culprit' is time.

I think he's kinda right. I almost left because I started playing on the Pixelmon server and now I feel like I don't want to play on either server now.

And for what reason?

Just got bored of it.  Switching to Pixelmon made me want to play with the mod and because I played with it on for so long I started to not the PvP server and then I got bored of THAT server and I just wish the Pixelmon server never came out.

That was confusing, but simple solution, stop playing Pixelmon?

Let me just make a point here. There are a lot of people who want to leave but feel like they shouldn't because they love us. Admins hate those who make loads of comments about threatening to quit and not quitting. I think if the emptiness continues, I'll be leaving myself.
