Do you know of a game that a lot of players play and you think would benefit SFT?
Suggest it, and maybe SFT will host a server.

What we're looking for:
- Games with great potential. Something that will bring us more new players
- Games with customization. For example, if we just host another battlefield server out there, it's not going to be too good, because we can't really customize it / make it unique.
- Games that we haven't hosted before

Though you guys have already hosted it before, but another Prison Server. I think that server would have great potential if lots of hard work goes into it.

But last time i heard about prison break, people at first played it, then suddenly they stopped. Then that server got removed.

How about a SFT crafting dead server?

Can it be made up? I have an idea but I don't know if it exists or not.

. I've watched them a few times and it seems like a bit of a laugh.
Could be a good addition?

Prison is unlikely to be added as I think more then once towelie has added it and it caused so much commotion and the player count dropped within 2 weeks. It would most likely be a waste of time adding it.

We had a crafting dead server when it first came out (i personally handled most of it for the 3-4 days it was around)  and it was really popular, but it was really early stages of the modpack and we couldnt do the things we wanted, maybe it would be nice to see around again (i tried suggesting but never heard anything back)

also, a way to play mob arena/pvp with guns, there is a gun plugin you can get which i was informed was on our current hungergames one, maybe use that in other ways

Yeah maybe you are right. Personally though, I think the best way forward would be to not host too many more minecraft  based servers. There is really only so much you can do with a game losing it's player base.

Something like that is in the works. I cannot confirm a release date at this moment, other than when it's ready.

Minecraft pvp has a huge audience and groups of players perhaps a UHC server? UHC is very popular I know we have hosted UHC's before but what if we have one  dedicated server running a couple of games at a time?

That's also in the works - a minigame server which will include draw my thing

UHC's only really work as one time Events every now again. We did a total of about 6 seasons, with a month between, and by the 6th season people got bored and didn't sign up. We do plan on doing another one soon, see if maybe the year or so. break has enticed people to play again.

As someone involved with prison throughout its lifespan, I can confidently attribute the failure of the prison server to a number of things that should've been done, but weren't. The server wasn't set up in a way that when the flow of players from SFT ended, another flow of players would take their place. That's why after a few weeks, when everyone from SFT had tried it, and figured out if they wanted to spend time on it, the player count dropped, and never reached close to that high again. If a server like prison was to come about again, it would have to be properly set up to account for attracting new players to the community, rather than feeding off other SFT servers like the last one. In the earlier stages of the prison, it was agreed that once this original high fell off, we would introduce it to server sites, and add voting rewards such as drugs.



However this never happened, and due to me being taken off the project by Battle and djay (I honestly have no idea why, but to this day I don't get credit for the hours of work i put into that map and server, never mind the contributions to the mechanics of the server...) I'm not sure why it never happened. It was known and proved during BETA of the server that once players finished they would need something to do, and would most likely lose interest fast after this. So fresh players needed to be introduced to our community and server to keep things interesting, and to keep things working properly.

I personally would love to see another prison server, as the concept was obviously well loved, and many things were done right, but in the end a couple of failures led to its demise. I still believe in its success.

Lol we've had like a gazillion FTB servers, if we find a stable solution, that'd be fun again.


My suggestion:
Bring back paintball if possible.

Jyncs

Rust

I know we had one before but that was on legacy. A lot of things have changed and there are different plugins. It would be worth a shot to at least try it again for a month.

Me and a friend have been playing Don't Starve Together beta and as far as I know there is a way to host a dedicated server on that I have played around a tiny bit with modding the game but I am pretty sure if needed I could do a lot of mods for the game.

Someone in the suggestions wanted a Digimon server and gave some links to several mod packs. I only say this because I don't think he would know to post it here :P

But personally? I agree with Mobile, Prison Break.

Ahem, Cartoon*. :3 But yeah, a nice idea, sounds like something fun to try even if to doesn't turn out to be a success.

Have you ever considered running a build battles minigame? (Players are given a plot to build on, in which they are given 5 minutes to build a specified object using creative inventory. After 5 minutes is up, players are given the ability to rate other's builds (but not their own).
