Discontinuation of the Lobby System

[Towelie]

For a while now, I have been considering discontinuing the lobby system and returning to a single server solution.
My plan: Remove all the servers that are always empty (parkour, quakecraft, lobby), make survival the only server that you connect to when you type "mc.superfuntime.org" or "play.superfuntime.org" and branch faction as an external server (even though it would still run through the bungee system but players would connect to it by typing its ip that we will add.
This way, we will still be keeping the Bungee system, but it will just be a part running in the background rather than an actual lobby system.

What do you think about this? Ask us any questions and we'll do best to answer.

Reason for this: Survival has been going downhill since we added the lobby server, but the other servers haven't necesarily been more active.

Edit by Towelie: When i wrote this topic i was panicking. We are not removing the lobby just downsizing it and removing any servers that are not popular

It was cool, but not used that much sadly

[Demonyte]

It seems best to discontinue, I can imagine it would confuse new players

noooo towie pleas don't I love the lobby and parkour  well used to I got baned so I cant do it anymore in fact I did the parkour in 3 minits and 39 seconds that's my record!

We tried that before [having no lobby] and it didn't make players stay more on survival (least from what I saw, don't have the full stats). I think we're better keeping the lobby, refreshing the games and see if that improves upon it. After 1.8 ofc.

its so sad to see the lobby and pakour go  but if its for the best then ok

ok

The point of the lobby was to give the players options to choose from when they're bored. But when there's only survival, factions, a broken colormatch server and a DMT server that has been on stand by for months, there's really no point for such a big one. Maybe a smaller, simpler lobby until we get more/better minigames?

that sownds awesome
!!!

Ok so, to clear, I plan on doing it gradually, over time.
First step will be to add tracking to all the servers to see which are still popular and which aren't.
Second, would be to remove the non popular servers
Third, will be to do this again over and over until nothign but survival is popular.

If you continue to keep talking about your unban, you will gain a forum warning. Please stop spamming posts about it.

[Brightpkz]

Sorry, I'm a little confused, so what will happen to parkour, and all that cool stuff? Because, I recall the minigames to be worked on pretty hard..

[wrshpblu]

there going to get rid of a lot of it to see if it helps with poularty

[Happysheep102]

I agree

[SkullzCrew]

This is good, all the courses on the parkour server are on survival anyway (it is played on sometimes though). Quakecraft I agree, although quite fun it isn't really played. I support the idea personally.

Parkour stays, minigames that are nolonger played get removed. Also the lobby is made to be smaller

[AzGotSwag]

So, can we still do /lobby? or its removed?

[Towelie]

Not removed, re-read the original post

[Green_Giant]

In my opinion the lobby was a little too big, however sometimes when it automatically logs you into survival, and, for example I want to go on factions, it is annoying that I have to do /login every time. I wish it were possible to do /factions or /creative etc. without logging in. Just my suggestion, thanks.

Well basically it remembers your last location and since you have a password protected account on survival, that's why it asks for a password.

I think if you guys need to you can delete things I mean didn't towie make this sever..but I think that if towie whants to ask other people about it then he cares about are opinion(that's awesome)!!
