As some of you may have noticed, we have replaced our Lobby.
Why? Instead of using a lobby server, we decided to move the lobby on Survival (way up high in a portion of World 3).
All new joining players will basically join on Survival, in the lobby (/warp lobby), where they will be able to choose a server. If they choose Survival, they will be taken to World1's spawn, if they choose another server they will be taken there.
I would like to thank @camster65 and @TeraStorm for their awesome help and building this lobby.

Benefits of this system:
- New players no longer join an empty server where there is no activity
- They will join in an active, friendly environment where they can easily get help by asking for it
- A bit higher chance of players that would normally quit immediately to stay. As they may now be able to get answers to their questions


Things to keep in mind:
- The number of new joins that you see on Survival will grow. This is normal, please don't panic!
- New players will hear you when you greet them but may not reply as they are talking in local chat, in World 3 (which cannot be heard from World 1). Also include telling them to use /sh for global messages in your greeting messages!
- Seing as survival is the de-facto lobby, you can no longer do /lobby from survival (but it still works from other servers). For that /l has been created (which effectively takes you to /warp lobby).
So if you see a player on Survival asking how to get to the lobby, tell them to use /l for this time and /lobby in general (aka when they are on any server but Survival)


Servers Kept:
- Survival
- Creative
- Parkour
- Hunger Games

Servers Kept but not advertised:
- lobbydev (for attraction world, it is now deprecate and will be removed, but should still be usable, but only works as /server lobbydev)
- missile (for events and eventhost usage)

Suggestion @Towelie, make it so you can be heard from local in /w3. As you may know new players don't always do what you tell them, and may ask questions in local. They will quit because nobody will answer, because of local chat.

Not possible unless @fearthe1337 modifies AreaChat

That's someting really great! I couldn't agree more to the fact that logging on an empty place could easily encourage many players to leave the server.

If he's going to modify areachat, a better idea would try and make just the lobby area global. That way, all the event chatter won't automatically go into global.
Thanks to Mewiebowie for the spectacular avatar!

Cool beans. In the time I'm around in minechat and crap, I'll help those people out in w3.

After getting stuck in the portals a few times I love how the new lobby turned out!
Great job to Camster and Tera, and cant wait to see more new faces!:)

Urm, when I do /w3, instead of taking me to the normal spawn in w3, it takes me to the new lobby...

i think it'd be better if the barriers were removed :/ its too crowded-ish.

If you fall during the parkour, you can't get up without fly or a warp. Most newcomers don't know any commands and that's the impression they get from SFT.

Missing barrier blocks all over.

I'm not sure if it matters, but there are random buildings around the spawn that may seem unprofessional.

Or push them out farther than just the path. I feel like I'm in a maze where I hit an 'edge' every 5 blocks.

This is a fantastic idea. People will leave if they don't understand that people outside of the World 3 Local Chat can't hear them.  :steve:

Yeah, i'm assuming this an error? The whole point of doing /w3 is so it takes you to the gamingworld, not the lobby. @Towelie

The change on how many players join is quite visible. There are about 2-3 joins every 10 minutes when the server is full! Good job Guys! :D

I Can post the lobby in a Realistic looking way by using a High-quality texture pack and Seus shaders

That's also due to us being promoted on a voting site

Must be an error, /w3 is supposed to take you to the gaming world.
