Jesus christ it looks like I really forgeted something up.
Except...
Even in the middle of the night we're still the top server at times getting almost %15 of all online players in the server.
So I'm at a bit of a quandary here. I mean, sure there's all this hate, but at the same time the server is still as popular as ever.
I guess the thing to do is address some of your points individually then lay out my plans for the next day or two.
Before I do however, I'd just like to introduce you all to the concept of
Blocktopia another gamemode made by me a long time ago.
It had farming, it had mining, it even had drilling for oil. No crime system either.
People didn't play it.
Basically this is my attempt to remake that but have it be a success.
It's supposed to be a mix of farming/infinite mining and Mr.Wallet's Rise of Blockland.
God damn it the simple farming mod we all knew and loved is turning into another City RPG.
Personally I've had fun on cityrps.
Oh and may I mention that the "cops" are nothing more than money hungry forgettards that arrest anyone with dems. For example, I kill a crop stealing forget oh but I get dems and then all the cops rush towards me like a bunch of rabid tigers that didn't have food for weeks. Then I am arrested though I told them what happened.
I'll try and make it so you won't be arrested for defending yourself.
This is most likely going to end up like the other server, it'll become too much like CRPG and no one's going to play it. When this server started out it had tons of players that would stay on for hours just building up their farm without the damn criminals. None of this stuff has to do with farming anyways. It would be better if you just got someone to model for you and added in more crops, and added more to script to make it more challenging but still having it centered around farming.
I wish I
could get someone to model for me, but lord knows I can't. I'd love to be working on all kinds of new plants rather than stuff like a crime system but that's out of my control.
I just don't get it. Why add a feature that adds frustration to an otherwise calm and peaceful server? It's just one more thing that people have to worry about, as if winter was bad enough. The average farmer doesn't think about a justice system on a regular basis and therefore should not be a feature of a "Farming RP".
This is about the time to admit that this server is soon going to stop being a "farming rp". I have no idea what I intend to rename it, however.
Seriously. You added criminals before food and hunger.
I've been told people hate hunger mods.
There's not even a map or any type of organization, you're just setting yourself up for chaos.
There's a grid, roads, and differently zoned areas, unless you're talking about the old server? In which case, why are you talking about the old server?
Add a global market to sell goods.
Like Rise of Blockland.
Build a forgetin map for christ's sake.
Old map... Then add cars. Add Pumpjacks which can pump oil from farmland, which can in turn be converted to gasoline, then sell the gasoline so people can drive cars.
Go look at that link.
Why have cars? So people can get around the map quicker, efficiency. Add electricity, so people can light up their homes with an electric resource that you pay for every season or year (a $100 subscription to use events each year?) Have a lot system for a variety of reasons.
Not in the topic but coal was burned for electricity.
Basically I've decided to remove crop stealing at least for the next few days. Other crimes aren't going to be taken out because they're not as serious an issue.
Cops can no longer fake kill bricks with their batons if they are:
- Owned by an offline player.
- Owned by a player with less than 5 demerits
- Too large
- Part of the farming gamemode (e.g. plants, technology)
If anyone wants to model me plants I'd love to implement them and reward you for your help.
I'm currently planning on adding in a lot of what Racerboy said, but it's a long process and I'm still trying to figure out where to start.
