Correct, but no money doesn't bring happiness either.

Sure, it's not ALL happiness, but it contributes to a big part.

That's not necessarily true. Having no money doesn't always mean you aren't happy. There are plenty of happy poor people. Money can't bring true happiness. I am not saying that money isn't important. In fact we need money to survive, but it shouldn't be the focus of our lives.

Many people see money as their main goal of life, but if they do that, this will make them superficial, and they might even do things to protrude others. Money helps us to achieve our goals, but can not be our motive to live. Granted, it will bring short term happiness but will not last long term.

Neither, money or attention doesn't bring happiness. So, why would I want to be either?

Money does bring happiness.

In my opinion, money doesn't bring happiness. Happiness can not be purchased, you can shop all day and buy all types of products and what have you, but no matter how much money you have, it will not bring you happiness.

It's only the first day of the summer sales. Usually last around 2 weeks and the sales change daily.

RIP my wallet.

Please do everyone a favor and split up some of your post into paragraphs. Not trying to be picky or mean but it's nearly impossible to read.

Why not get a YouTuber to promote? This seems like a CaptainSparklez type moment when you just need a jump start to get the players coming again.

Of course, but questions is; How do you get one? I'm sure if you have some connections Towelie would highly appreciate it.

Cause I'm quite sure no one else does, and even if they do; sft doesn't have funds to pay one.

We didn't exactly have the best luck when Bashur came for Pixelmon, so if there's close connections, it would be great. Lol. I know we have a Youtuber who regularly plays on survival and has some 20k+ subscribers.

Yeah true. But, at the end of the day. It's all really about money. If you got the money, then everything from there's easy.

A few hundred could get us a nice vid with a nice YT'er.

It's actually more about the content and quality of the server. If there's nothing keeping players engaged and entertained then there's really no point in getting a YouTuber or advertising in general.

Sure, you may inflate the player count for a week or so but then it'll go right back down. What made SFT stand out in Minecraft was it's uniqueness and friendly player base at the time.'

Not sure if we can go back to those days since the people that made it that way are gone or have moved on from Minecraft.

1.  Slots is an entirely arbitrary number. have 150 slots and 15 players is exactly identical in server usage to 50 slots and 15 players. And considering its on our own machine, not a hosted server we arent paying anything for those extra slots.

That's not what garow is saying. I believe he means the amount of slots should be set to something reasonable. He never said anything about the cost or server performance. I spoke with dpa about this exact same thing. Maybe we should lower the slots to 50 for Survival/Pix. Since 30/50 looks better than 30/150.

I know for a fact that Survival does often peek over 50, not so much now  due to the exams etc. but in the summer i'm 99% sure it will at some points.

I was using those numbers as an example. Never said Survival/Pix couldn't be above or below that. But, lately I've never seen them reach max slots even when advertised.

The arma 3 server probably don't really get any players. I'd say ditching that may be a good idea. Idk about rust.

But I think if you plan on keeping arma 3's server or rusts, you should get someone who know's how it runs. But don't actually own the game or something so there's no chance of it being ruined.

I'm going to put this bluntly, but you clearly have no clue what you're talking about. The ArmA 3 server isn't even released yet so how you have an opinion on that is beyond me. As for the Rust server which is currently being managed by Izzdaer, still gets a few players and it's fairly new to the community. Lastly, to your point about getting someone to run the server but doesn't own the game is the same as having someone run the server with less than 100 hours on the game. They will have no clue what they're doing and how it impacts the players or server. So, I highly recommend you rethink what you just said as it's completely false and irrational.

I'm just saying having someone who knows how to run a server, but won't use things unfairly is important for survival based games. and there'd have to be log checks, and a rule about use of tools. Such as no groups, no favoritism etc.

No one wants a server with bad management.

I know you haven't play Altis Life much, but it's not like DayZ or the ArmA 2 servers we've had in the past. There will be no item spawning, active admining, or whatever on the server I plan to make. The staff team will be decided later down the road but they won't be chosen by favoritism or groups. And, they will not have any additional powers besides kicking unruly players. Essentially, they will be chat moderators who will ensure that the quality of RP on the server is maintained and not like a subpar Wasteland server. As for Rust, there's been lots of issues with admin abuse already, but according to Towelie the person in question has been given an ultimatum and if it happens again they will be replaced.

No active admining then? Well RIP. And plan to make? Idk if it's set in stone yet. Either way i seriously don't think it'll go anywhere due to past experiences of issues. But yeah, I'd wait to say things til it's set in stone.

I say no 'active admining' loosely since I've had poor experiences on servers where admins choose to use/abuse their powers to influence RP. And, I can tell you firsthand that it sucks. Of course, Admins will be able to spectate players through RCon and report anything necessary. But, I'm trying to keep away from the whole let's ban first, and ask questions later mentality.

At any rate, you're entitled to your opinion that the server won't go anywhere but you're still more than welcome to play once it's released.

I think we should keep lost islands alive because of how many people still play it. All it needs is a few updates and some adjustments and the server might just become alive again!

From what dpa has told me, it crashes like 500x a day, and it sounds like it isn't being given the attention it needs. I remember running BnB (Bread and Butter) which was also a mod-pack server made for SFT, and we had to work countless hours, putting together mods that were compatible and played nice with each other. Not sure if they used those mods and just renamed the pack or what since I haven't played the server.

For the people saying we should remove Altis Life: It hasn't been released or given a proper chance in this community.

Not only that, but removing all of the Minecraft servers suggested here won't really change the cost per month since most of them are run on the same box.

But, in order to focus on the more popular Minecraft servers and other gameservers in general. These servers should be removed.



Reason: I've never seen any of them reach their max slots and probably never will. Wild West and MineQwest look practically the same. So, I would pick one of them to run, not both. Creative has been tried many times in this community but hasn't worked out. Lost Islands seems like it's too unstable and might as well close unfortunately. Parkour should merge with Survival W3 as many people mentioned above.

We have a hunger games server?? XD I tried lost islands... too grindy for me... We have a parkour server? Aaaand I don't own Altis Life, but from qhat I've heard, it's goin pretty bad. So I agree with all of those but Pocket Edition, I don't play on that but no point shutting it down with players on it.

 

I would take over Altis Life, but was never given the opportunity to do so.
Otherwise, I agree with the rest of the servers mentioned being removed.

wat

Im saying that djkirsh has been holding down the fort there and saywhat has been busy IRL. Only a few more things need to be done and it isn't really saywhats fault if he's been busy xD and dj has a few admins too to my knowledge.

That's not what I was reacting to. Look at the post above mine.

I know in your last post, you said you wanted to kind of drift away from MineCraft for the benefit of the future. However, do you ever have intentions of putting a team together to create a Prison server? Sure MC isn't that popular and as you said, is slowly dying. Although, prison servers do bring a lot of attention to current players apart of the community and new? hmm.

when is prison coming?

That's a good question.
Whenever @saywhat2365 stops being dead or whatever :\
Come on saywhat, bruh, please?

alright, if saywhat has other stuff to do, maybe someone else is a good option? maybe someone who has a lot of experience with prison, people like battle and ipwn : )

@djkirsh , excuse my language, has been working her ass off for this server for the past many months. Its where it is because of her and she will continue to be a leader there . Saywhat just needs to finalize it. #Dj4PirsonOwner

Almost 5 years ago.

Same here ^

Saaammme
I joined forums a few weeks after I joined Survival so forum date isn't accurate and /pstats doesn't tell me. So I don't have the exact date I joined. xc

Definitely before me Terry xd

4 or 5 years ago (Based off Pstats). I lost track.

Can we see if Bogey can fix the client? Also, [Gate]'s are broken.

I believe he is waiting for MCP (Mod Coder Pack) to be updated. It's still on 1.8 Minecraft. Might work for 1.9.4 but probably not.

I do admit I haven't played for pleasure in the last few days, but if you even look at my minecraft or ask anyone, I haven't played anything SFT recently as I have had a pretty shite two weeks including a motor accident, so thanks for being super sympathetic and complaining about me specifically incessantly for three days.

I will attempt to contact you about your doors plugin contribution as soon as possible, as planned.

I'm sorry to hear that.. But I wouldn't say incessantly complaining. More of suggesting that maybe you should extend your power to someone else.

Playing the server for the past couple days now, I've only seen @Jyncs, @TRITIUMNITR0X, @Fire_Lord_Nero, and a few other people on. But, I haven't seen you @Izzdaer...

Not sure if the server is now considered dead but something definitely needs to change.
