As many people here have probably noticed, MCGamer has undergone multiple changes in the past couple of months. From big things like MCSG Maker, to small things like quantum going back up, MCGamer's Sr. Staff has made it clear that they wanted change. As a result of some of those changes, the community is awake and lively again. I believe, after a long time of community downfall, that MCGamer is back on track; however, there is still work to be done.
Around last March, I saw a tremendous decline in the amount of members on the server. The server numbers were down to 1,000 on good days. There was little conversation in-game, and there were maybe 10 servers filled at once. Fed up with the lack of staff listening to them and disappointed with the experience they had here, people were leaving, and doing so rapidly. Even at this lack of player base, there was no expeditious attempt to revert this trend; therefore, more and more populace departed.
From late 2014 to late 2015, people everywhere were calling for a modification of certain community and staff policies. In addition, people wanted a better anti-cheat, solo-sg, the ability to create private survival games matches, and other things. It became evident that in order for MCGamer to became the blossoming and buoyant network it was in early 2014, a lot of revisions were going to have to be made.
Unfortunately, however, the wrong changes were made. Though I originally supported many of the things MCGamer did, I didn't after I truly realized the effects of those changes. New maps, different server numbering, and bugs came with MCGamer v2. What was portrayed as a positive change for the entire network, it ended up being the opposite. Though many of it's provisions were helpful and enjoyed by the community, others were not. It ultimately was disapproved by the community.
Now, after a year, MCGamer is making some huge changes. MCSG Maker, which has been largely supported, made it's way to the network around Christmas time; premium members having the ability to make custom channels has come along, more moderators have joined, a new anti-cheat has arrived, and many other things have happened. Overall, the last couple of months has brought MCGamer on it's feet; and not only that, but MCGamer is jumping to the sky. It's become evident that staff is interested in the community's opinion. New things that were almost unanimously denied in the past are being implemented, and as a result the network has been built up to 3,000+ people on at certain times.
So, to conclude, what else do you guys feel can be done? And, do you support what has been done already?
