Hello guildcraft community... Today I've decided to create a slightly different kind of post (compared to the usual ones I post). Today, I want to explain my journey, and I want us to draw an important conclusion from it, because it's not only about guildcraft and minecraft, it's about much more than that, and hopefully by the end of it, both you (The reader) and I will learn something new from it. For you who don't know me, I'm a somewhat old player, and I was here through it all, I was there when guildcraft reached new heights, and when guildcraft reached new lows, I was there for it all... I'm liked by a few, but also hated by many, tho in no way do I think I'm a victim of anything, the only thing I was ever a victim was of myself and my poor decisions. #... Many of you do not know how the symbol "#" is connect to me, and from the all of you who do, none yet know what it truly means to me. Ever since I joined guildcraft, I've aimed high. I've aimed high in every aspect of the server, first I wanted to become the owner of the best Faction, then I wanted to become the richest member on factions, after that I've decided to become the best pvper... and in February of 2016, I've decided that I wanted to become the best staff member. Sadly, at the time, I didn't truly understand what It truly meant to become the "best". I thought that by muting the most players/being the most active staff/responding to most players would make me the best staff member. I've gotten obsessed with wanting to be the "best" that I never truly seen the bigger picture. At the time, my H-A, and the only person I had 100% trust in, got banned and disappeared. I was full of hate, I hated the person that replaced him, I even started hating the server because of that. I started creating a ton of staff reports, thinking that I'm getting revenge for my H-A that got banned, I thought that by getting "abusers" demoted that I'd achieve something. And the truth is, I didn't. By the end of 2016, I was permanently banned from guildcraft for causing drama in the staff team. All my hard work was for nothing, at the end I've cost the server more then I did good. Then came 2017, I was given another chance, and sadly, I misused it once more, I changed for the better and my perspective on things has changed, but I was still doing damage to the server, even tho my goal from the start was to help the server, I have only brought more damage upon GC. But one thing changed me in 2017, and it's the "#". After I received my ban in 2017, I have started to post more and more suggestions. Even tho I've known they wouldn't get me unbanned, the support I've received on my posts and the friends I've met through the server have taught me a lot of things. Even tho I still usually spam the "#" and even tho I did spam it back in 2017, I knew it was never going to become a reality. Some of you may or may not know, but I would always spam #Vojkea4Co at the end of my posts, and I've became hated because of it. Many people thought I was posting all of my posts and suggestions because I wanted a rank, many hated me because I've thought highly of myself. But the truth is, it was never about the rank. The "#" Represents all the hard work I've ever done on this server, it represents all of my positive sides on Guildcraft, it was my motivation, seeing myself posting the "#" at the end of every post kept me going, because I knew I wasn't simply doing all of that for myself, I was doing it for the greater good. The moment I found myself posting suggestions while being banned, I understood. I understood it all, my goal was never a rank for myself, it was making a place I liked better. I will never forgive myself for what I've done in the past, all the staff reports and mistakes I've made, they will always be with me, I still to this day carry consequences of my past behavior. But I cannot change the past, I can only change the future. The "#" will always stick with me as something positive, all the players I have ever helped, all the players that I've became friends with, all the work I've put into guildcraft, it can all be summarized by a simple symbol, and that's the "#". Many people think I've failed on my journey, but the truth is, I feel like I couldn't have won anything better than what I have now. I might not be a co owner, I might not be someone that could make crucial changes on the server yet. But what I do know, is that I will never give up, regardless of my rank, I will never give up on any of you that believe in me, and I will never give up on this server, because giving up on this server would mean giving up on myself. Finally, we come to the conclusion. In life, you will be laughed at if you dream big, the moment they realize that you will never give up is the moment they will try to demotivate you from reaching your goals, but, if you stay strong and show true strength, and if you don't give up when the odds are stacked up against you, you will end up victorious in one way, or another. Never let anyone stop you from dreaming big. It doesn't matter if it's something as "unimportant" as a minecraft server, as some people would say. In this minecraft server I've learned a lot of things about myself, and I will always be thankful for the time I've spent on here. Maybe I won't be able to change the future of this server, but I know that I will never give up on it, no matter what anyone else says. And neither should you. #...
I somewhat do understand and well if you want to aim high I suppose your are the most active person on GC forum always offering help and suggestions! God damn beast!!
Amazing post as always, an eye opener really. For people like me this isn't "just" a Block Game. This is the place where I've learnt lots of things, made amazing friends and most importantly a place which gave me memories I'll never forget and that's the reason I've sticked for so long. I've noticed whenever a person tries to change things for the good, there are always those who discourage it and it's really saddening to say the least. The least we can do is support them, noone is gonna stay here forever and at one point everyone moves on so the time we spend here, we should try to be a positive impact to the community and enjoy life as it is. And again, great post Vojkea.
There's no point im making post containing constructive criticism towards the server anymore. The people who can change it doesn't read the forums it seems. It's sad to see It's come to a point where the word careless can describe certain people's efforts here. The server is/ or will be dead. You're wasting your time Vojkea. Most of the stuff you write is correct and will benefit the server, but there's no point of spoiling your knowledge to a group of ignorant people. Henry.
I know what you trying to do, it's a good thing that you don't want to give up, but if the owner him self given up so why you shouldn't? Look at the suggestions section on the forums and see how many of them actually got added. i bet it's less than 1% ... Just saying.. everyone here really appreciate what you trying to do and we all support it. and i am my self tried to but we will see in the future if aXed or one of his staff team will add them later or no. I still have hopes that GuildCraft can become one of the greatest servers of all time. it has a potential, but aXed needs to unlock it and actually change his mindset, we have some open minded guys here like Vojkee who can ACTUALLY give a good suggestions and i can give too but it's useless if the staff team don't care. I won't give up either. keep your hard work and i will help you as much as i can. together we can do anything. just believe in your self. because i do believe in you.
it just shames me that a lot of potential and talent is being invested into something that has no motive to change. it's saddening that there's so much to explore out there and so much to use your talents on and start fresh, yet you stay here. or there's something you've seen that's changed within the main problems of this network that we haven't seen. nonetheless i respect all decisions that you make, and if you see potential, i will gladly support it.
Exactly what I said, suggestions aren't helping the server and anyone could that. There's no point in suggesting if aXed doesn't accept this. Advertising is what we need. Also no offense to any staff but most of the staff are really lazy so I highly doubt someone who has the power to accept his suggestions actually reads his large post, they barely got time for the server and when Vojeka types it's hard to follow along if your eyes get distracted if you have ADHD or something so like ye suggestions are doing nothing and his effort is being wasted
