A Community that can grow...
Recently I've noticed that the owner has established a better communication with the community.
This amount of new updates hasn't been seen at guildcraft for quite some time.
Tho I'm not sure of the changes in game (since I stopped playing minecraft) I have noticed a more positive environment on the forums and good feedback.

I was thinking, from a new players perspective, what server would I be looking to play on.
And since I've tried to understand the average "new player" mentality, and my experience whenever I joined any new server combined with the experiences of other people, I've came to a conclusion.

Servers such as Faction, Skyblock, Skygrid... are mainly servers you're looking to have fun on if you've already been playing on the server for some time.
If a new player joins, there's a good chance that he will be called out by the players that have been playing for some time and that donated for being "new", and that he will be at an disadvantage since he's probably on there alone and not a donator.
In my opinion, these servers mainly there to keep the playerbase the same and slightly increase it (if players that already played there invite their friends).

Now, since I've observed a couple of famous and successful servers before I quit, I've came to an conclusion that those servers are mainly "mini-game" typed servers.
The more I think about, the more it makes sense, a simple mini-game server where you get matched with random people, you all have equal chances and you probably wont have a reason to argue, you'll just enjoy playing the game, without being harassed.

If you played servers on gc such as eggwars, oitc, cs... you'd notice that the most of the people there are new players that haven't really played Factions and other 'older' servers of guildcraft.
Creating some unique minigames (or copying some older ones) might help guildcraft with attracting new players (especially younger players (the main minecraft playersbase)) to guildcraft, especially if there's a wide variety of minigames that the players can choose from.
And it can certainly bring profit if there are some cosmetic ranks added onto those servers because people always like to stand out in a crowd.

I understand the whole minecraft community might be losing players, and that it's a good excuse to be used, but still, not giving up when everyone else expects you to fall is true strength, and it might be what the server needs right now.

Feedback is greatly appreciated,
Vojkea out.

 

Ive been playing gc for years and I only played anni, prison, opprison, eggwars and skywars ._. mostly minigames. Not like I still play, I already quit MC but still decide to check forums from time to time to see how gc is doing. Playing anni met me with so many friends, some of which became really close to me to the point that we contact each other in facebook even if we both quit. Ive got most of my connections in anni and eggwar, this allowed me not to be left out when I played on prison and opprison since I already have friends who gave me tons of money from the start to help me level out xd (focking parasite)

 

I totally agree with you Vojkea, new players will want to play servers that are not pay to win and I do not know why but most people prefer match games rather than long term games such as factions. By adding more mini-games to the server I think we can gain more players.

 

Good to see you are checking Guildcraft out, even after hard times.

I agree with all of your opinions.

Goodluck!

 

Certainly! I hope that we can attract some new players with Annihilation 2.0 which will have quite some unique aspects to it.

 

yassss

 

I keep getting messages that the post I made in complete rage somehow did work in making this update. Hope that wasn't a factor tho.

 

why gc adandoned skywars there are a lot of bugs , hackers no admins

 

I totally agree with you on that I think it will make a major improvement to the server and to the community
