Hi! My name is Violet and I play on GC since 2018. I've spent over 6 months working over a huge building project in singleplayer with an intention to copy it on GC Survival in order to have fun role-playing with it. I've bought a legend rank specifically so I could fly and build it faster and I've been collecting all sorts of valuable things needed for it for the past 3 months this season, stockpiling stuff from my kits and literally voting every day. I might as well apply for a builder once in the future. I'd honestly love to help improve the server! This thread is a personal letter to the owner xph11 since only he makes decisions and can affect the issue. Sorry for bothering you, but I'd like to ask for something regarding the upcoming reset on Survival if my request is possible to satisfy. You see, due to some lag issues, you've put a limit on mobs per chunk, particularly villagers. This makes players unable to build their own villages and cities with villagers walking free in them since they simply despawn when there's too many in a chunk. My request is the following: Could you somehow make this possible again? Whether it's removing the limit or restricting the number of villagers per player/claim by the rules, or simply avoiding those lag issues occurring in the first place so there wouldn't be a need to limit anything. Because all those limits and restrictions seriously ruin building possibilities for players like me. First, it was a limit of the render distance, then the mob visibility distance was cut, and now, we can't even build villages WITH villagers anymore! All of this endangers my project and I am now simply scared not knowing what you restrict next! Please! If you can't remove the limit, figure something out! To stabilize the economy, removing the lag and solving it all together, I'd simply ban afk farming completely so that players could only earn money by actually playing the game. The problem wouldn't be there! IG farms are the problem, they breed billionaires! Don't get me wrong, I've spent tons of time preparing to build it all exactly on GC and I simply wanna make sure nothing goes wrong. In short, I'm planning a small kingdom with a fortress city and a huge underground dungeon beneath it. The dungeon is roughly half done by now, which you can see on the screenshot. I'll be playing the role of its king hiring royal knights out of players, giving them quests, and sending them in the dungeon to fight mobs and pass the storyline for cash and prizes. I've already basically made up the plot and most quests! I could sure go to another server with no resets at all, but the count has been made for GC ever since I've begun and I've already bought a rank here. Also, I used to GC and I like it. It's like home to me now. Going somewhere else would mean learning the server from the beginning, checking if it meets the requirements like its claiming system, world type, donate perks, kits, infrastructure, etc. There's no guarantee I'd even find a proper one. Although, if my project fails, I'll have to leave GC forever. Please, don't take my letter as an act of selfishness. I only wish good for everyone and seek to improve the server as well! I have many more ideas for next season and I'll be sure to create more suggestions later. As I said, I might as well become a builder or a dungeonsmaster one day. Just tell me you'll make sure there won't be any lag issues and limits next season on Survival or at least less of them! Because this season was a disaster! I've been literally voting every morning, spent tons of time collecting lots of valuable things required for the dungeon: 100k claimblocks, stacks of spawners, a whole chest of skeleton skulls, over 50 wither skeleton skulls I spent 2 days farming, 34 blaze spawners I spent 3 days collecting, and 2 double chest towers going all the way to Y:100 full of tools and materials. It's only 3 months since last reset and now you're saying we need another reset because the online is low and the baltop is going crazy... You do realize that just a reset won't be enough, right? If you just make a reset and don't change anything in fact, the players will only come back temporarily and then the online and the baltop will be the same just in a few months. And we'll need a reset again. It will be a vicious circle of resets that does no good. Yet, players like me will have to start over in vain... and lose their stuff... which will upset them furthermore so that even more of them quit forever... You'll make sure it will never happen again... right? I tried, but couldn't make this letter any shorter... sorry.
