AS Being Shutdown - Thoughts + Suggestions @Devs, Sr. Staff

[Tartanian]

im going to say this for the final time WE CAN NOT REMOVE JUST 2 GAME SERVERS in our terms removing 2 servers if removing 50 game servers the AS servers proxy and hub were on one server us is on 11 servers and they are all needed we can not simply remove one it jsut does not work like that so stop saying we can we do not buy minecraft servers we bye dedicated servers witch means a blank 32 or 64GB server and install all the things on it its like buying a very powerful pc so we can not i say again can not remove any less than 25 servers which is out of the question. im sorry if i seem rude but im kinda annoyed i have said this a lot of tiems and no one read what i had said.

I didn't know even mods made grammar mistakes...

Let's be completely clear about one fact: MCGamer cannot simply remove a few servers. As every staff member has already explained, we utilize fully dedicated systems - not shared hosting. It is physically impossible to simply remove a few servers from one location, then take that money and put it toward a few servers in another location. It just doesn't work like that.

I cannot speak for Chad who has the ultimate authority, but I personally suggested the removal of AS on multiple occasions. MCGamer is not only a community, but a business; this does not mean that we're in it for the money, this means that you have to recognize that it costs money to run a community of this scale. In order to maintain a stable community, stable servers, and a stable business overall, there are many factors that must be accounted for. As it stands, the cost to run AS was not feasible when you take into account the number of players on the servers. On top of that, having so many other locations - especially if we were to deviate from the normal hub system - would cause extra work for the developers, who are already working very hard on bringing new and old gametypes to MCGamer.

Now for my personal opinion: if we were going to bring AS back, it should not be done any differently than the other locations. MCGamer has expectations, both from players and ourselves, to provide a stable, reliable, fun, and well-rounded server. By skipping the hub and just running a small number of servers, it really wouldn't be MCGamer.



That's not a bad idea at all. You must understand though, there is a huge amount of work when it comes to migrating from one location (or datacenter) to another; this ultimately puts more work on the devs, allowing them less time to work on features and gametypes. Furthermore, the selection of reliable and affordable datacenters in Australia is extremely limited. In any case, I'm sure this is something that we can look into.



Please read above.

Thanks so much. I think the AS community would be overjoyed to hear that you still care about our community. We would love to have a few servers hosted in Perth, even if it takes some time to get them set up. Thanks Dave!

I don't know about Snochet, but Darkrai gets 4 bars to AS. I think he told me about 100 ms. I feel like he said 120, but 100 to be safe.

Maybe the AS shutdown was an April fool's prank? Probably not...

We don't even need a hub, or even 5 servers. Just 2 would be acceptable (4 would be best). Please.

lol your skin says it all.

Basic rundown of 6 pages of content: After going through 6 pages of LONG content of discussion on this topic here is the conclusion I have, AS servers have not had enough followers/players to keep the servers (which they were told from the start was needed to keep the servers) the small-ish [Depending on perspective] community just wants to play SG on MCGamer, they have come up with a several solutions, some at the expense of other serves others that might work, but won't happen for security reasons, final there is one solution ( moving AU, or some of AU to perth) that MCGamer's Dev dv90 said could work with some sweat and some delay on fixes and development on plugins. {Like this if you want me to continue with the overview of the discussion as it develops}

first do not be rude to an admin second most of that you would have misunderstood as rude given i did not mean it to be but as you can guess i struggle with typing so i didn't mean it that way.

This may come off as rude but I found many spelling and grammar errors in your paragraphs just curious if you knew or not
