SMP Feedback

[Syntchi]

I know the SMP server hasn't been hitting the same highs lately, between the bots and the crashed economy. But I want to hear from you! We're always looking for ways to improve the experience, and that means getting your honest feedback, and let’s be honest the feedback channel is a mess. So here’s a post for long form ideas. What can we do to make the SMP server a place you all want to log back into? How can epic get more of that sweet sweet og++. I will make sure every post is actually read and will compile good ideas to put as the payment details for my next donation purchase. Please keep it serious, low effort posts like “demote epic” will be deleted.

small thing that could help fix the economy, even a small amount.

Have set prices for items that can be sold at market. Like a Blaze rod sells at Admin shop for 5$, make them sell in market for maybe 3 or 4$, and players can also set a custom price on the item depending on the item. Basically a price range or price cap an item can have.

Server Ran Build/Base Competition for Main SMP: This would last from June 1st - July 15th prolly. Rewards are donated by community + Rankup from epic. Epic would tour these builds/bases on stream bringing in new players. The base submitter has to upload the first photo of the location with chat on so we can see the time it’s begins construction so ppl cant just submitted months old bases plus its during summer so ppl will have time to build more I’d be up to donate my head and other stuff to rewards

Capping prices is something that could be looked at but with admin shop related items this would remove a lot of player freedom which is the draw of the market system.

Honestly a server wide event, maybe a mods re release the dragon egg into a random place and everyone has to search for it to gain a reward. Maybe a server wide tournament (pvp, ctf, build battle). Idk something to make people interested that doesn’t harm established things.

Buff sell prices of non-mob farm drops; nerf sell prices of mob farm drops. This would both irritate the mob farm afkers and decrease lag problems caused by mob farms.

Perhaps something to keep the community engaged in the server.

Have monthly events hosted by admins like Mr. Epic or Flip to keep the community engaged in the server. These events could include PvP tournaments, building competitions, treasure hunts, etc. These events could serve as a means to provide a sense of respect and care within the community if done properly.

Additionally, hosting progress updates and Q&A streams for the server every couple of months could further provide respect for the community's input, particularly decisions that may affect the server, such as a reset.

There's also an easier way to implement these ideas and others: remove Mr. Epic from his own server and replace him with someone more active to take charge.

Something in the works

Remove tax, make item clumps infinite and remove entity clumpong unless there is more the 24 in an area and make it infinite, unban minecrafter og account, actually enforce the alt cap of 5 and make it smaller

 

[Squeaky Monjuer]

And if stuff starts hugly increasing in price like neth and elys do an admin shop like with elys cause it helps a ton

 

[ThatTinyGuy]

Do item of the week/day that gives more money. This would incentivizes people to keep items stocked up making base hunting more rewarding.

For the sake of OG Network, please remove the afk room. It inflates the economy and causes lag due to the dozens of bots afking 24/7. What good does it do for the server anyway?

bro... the answer is simple... just reset the server.

Couple of things could fix survival server economy:

• remove troll shops (ridiculous prices and selling rubbish) and unstocked shops (give them a week notice or something reasonable)
• add buy sign to server shop (we want to buy basic items too like cobblestone, glass, sand or wood, and these are too much of a hassle to rely on a player shop to be stocked) also having items sold by server will "cap" their prices (why buy elytra for $40,000 when you can get it in server shop for $4k)
• move "map" shops to a designated corner, make all shops have prices clearly visible to lower the eye-sore (some have)
• IF NOT POSSIBLE TO FIX SHOPS then add Auction house and /servershop (it's a mess but better than TP to spawn shops browsing forever and not finding stocked shops) also remove the killing zone between shops and spawn (another reason why people quit)
• remove /daily and /warp afk (or decrease afk payout to $100), increase /vote payout to $500, nerf vote party only give $ no diamonds or replace with xp bottles
• add /jobs or /quests (this is why I log into the rpg server and just walk around doing quests dont even have a base lol)
• reset the end dimension every year and player's balances
• have a $1.99 starter RANK (2 homes, /warp wild with 24hr cooldown --people WILL pay for this) as going from paying 0.00 to 9.99 is TOO HARSH (all other ranks should have /homes increase +1)
• have a online world atlas map that updates every hour, the area is 2,000 blocks, within this 2,000 blocks players can claim plots, outside of claims it is anarchy, all blocks and containers outside claims are free to loot. no claims on nether or end (unless admins want to build some public grinders but that would inflate economy again)
• ENCOURAGE online creation of videos and series, have mr epic stream and upload vids of in server events every weekend (maybe a find-my-base challenge where he streams a base build for 2 hours and leaves a chest with goodies giving some hints about the coords)

you can do /finditem to find shops

 

[nodsaibot]

yes, just need to click on it and buy/sell like if I clicked the sign, or TP to shop or Make container glow so it shows location (you still will need to travel to spawn get chopped on the way to stores tho)

I think spawn adds a challenge. Well used to, because now Elytras are at spawn for 50k.

yes so much challenge that people just dont bother to go, getting 50k could take weeks for the average player. bottom line is people dont return to play
