Our Minecraft servers are offline but we will keep this forum online for any community communication. Site permissions for posting could change at a later date but will remain online.
OK, so here's my opinion (au servers only). Since the stat reset I have noticed a gradual change in the amount of hackers (more than ever), win boosters/farmers, team sizes and a decline in numbers along with those things. I for one do not play as much because of those factors^ and some of my mates have completely left for those reasons also :/
It has just become too hard for those who wish to play for fun and to meet new people, those that do not particularly care about their ratio's/stats. These people or new players come on to play for a bit of fun rivalry and pvp but I see them get abused, called names and obliterated off spawn by huge teams or hackers
I mean who would want to come back to a toxic environment like that^? I try my best to help new players or those not experienced with pvp, familiar with chest routes or just mess around and try and have a laugh about it but it's becoming increasingly harder to do so.
This is by no means an attack on mods/admin, they all do a wonderful job trying to deal with rule breakers etc. The concept of the game is still popular and I believe it will be for a long time, just need to maybe make a few improvements to make the community a little friendlier towards new people or people who aren't as competitive at the game as some. How? unfortunately I do not know
Vanth, not sure if you interpreted my reply to this thread correctly? I was not suggesting there be another stat reset (God Forbid) nor "Hundreds more mods".
It was just merely my observations of the current atmosphere on AU sg and some possible reasons for why it seems to be declining in numbers or retaining some of the great new/old players/mods that it does have
K cool just lettin' ya know I'm not cray or am I......◖|◔◡◉|◗No I know, If you read my post correctly I said, "Another reset, Hundreds more mods?" Those are things that people suggest. Not you in particular .

two* years ago ;-;I can promise you, ingame is still pretty fun, but the community and forums were far better a year ago.
A year ago was the clans era I guess? Pretty toxic, but at least people were on the forumstwo* years ago ;-;
I don't think MCSG is dying, per se, but it is much different. We need to keep up our player base by adding new things and gamemodes to keep up the competitive PvP style that most people come here to play. I'd love to see a 1v1 server in our near future, as well as an update on Xime, our AntiCheat, and some cool new features like that to keep people interested.
As for the rest, I agree. The community is a lot different, players cycle through generations and I'm sure you, Beardy, have observed this too but this "generation" of players is much more toxic than the previous.
Oh well, guess not everything good lasts forever. I sure do miss the good 'ol days ;-;
