Revival of MCSG

Pretty much hit it spot on. I started this back in 2012 and I've pretty much quit, but I do come on occasionally and over the past year it's just gotten a lot worse. Players are leaving because naturally they're going to outgrow this game at some point in their lives, but the servers that you've pointed out just have a much better anti-cheat/bug-fixing than this server. All the while Devs give some kind of an excuse as to why they cannot currently fix it (not taking a shot at Devs I'm just saying), more players are leaving because issues like the Fns glitch take a lifetime to be fixed - other servers don't have these issues. I don't mean to offend anyone, but holy crap with the amount of devs there are (at least used to be, I'm not up to date with the number of devs) these problems take wayyy too long to be fixed. BSM itself didn't get users kicked out of their games until 1.7 came along, and at that point there was pretty much no use in even having better sprint mod since it came with the update. Before then, when it was proposed that a BSM anti-cheat be made, people were constantly being told by devs it could not be done for whatever reason. Obviously that wasn't the case. Out of curiosity, why is it that the fns glitch (for example) has still not been fixed? I hear it's been going on for months.

'Mcgamer' was built on the foundation of Survival Games. Minecraft Survival Games // MCSG. That was why this server got popular, and that is the reason people play on it. I really don't understand the point of these smaller gamemodes unless it's to bring some kind of revenue, and even then it'd probably be better to shut those servers down and invest in more Survival Games ones since they're obviously keeping these servers up and running for the time being.

Also, if no-one does have anything constructive to say, just shut up (no offence). I don't need to be told I'm bashing on the devs or w/e because I'm saying what I see. People barely ever spoke up on this server because people always viewed it as a personal attack and were pretty much banned, need I remind anyone of what happened at the 'Summit' if anyone remembers that, or some other mod named 'Buxtonaters'. Stupid bans like what happened to Canziano were also completely covered up - there was a LOT of staff corruption back then. A few of my friends still here say the staff team are much better now, and I hope that's true, but a few years back if you were to pretty much ever say something that didn't sit with the staff you'd be permanently banned in-game and off the forums like some kind of Stalin censorship. I have some good memories on this server and I'd like to see it keep on going, even if I'm not playing on it. If people want any glimpse of change they should be saying exactly what's on their minds here, not playing the suck-up 'The staff are doing everything they can" card, because that is what pretty much happened everytime anyone called the staff out.

Anyway I've just been writing this post on the spot and haven't exactly proof-read it or w/e, so I apologise for any rambling. I'm just encouraging people to speak up if they feel they're unhappy with the Developer's progress or Staffing in general and that real answers should be given. The Dev's specifically really need to get on top of things, because whatever excuses made don't cut it anymore. At the end of the day, competing servers have their crap with anti-cheats and bugs all under control, whilst a network like this procrastinates getting it done. That contributes to losing players, and at the end of the day, contributes to the end of Mcgamer. Devs are pretty much the foundation of this network right now, and if they can't keep up, the servers are gonna disappear.

I've quit building for MCSG for a lot of these reasons listed. Nothing can last forever... The mcgamer merge with antvenoms server failed to attract players and as such everything is lacking in all sides. There are the good majority who are still good at what they do and are active but it only takes a few apples to ruin the bunch as they say.

I think the core problem is that the other large networks are constantly working to expand themselves and get more players, meaning more money. For most of the staff team I've talked to on MCG it's really not a priority more than a hobby. So maybe you're trying and have the right attitude; that's cute, but the bigger network's with higher budgets and administration teams will eat the other servers for breakfast.

Will keep editing over time

Because it doesn't produce anything, it doesn't work, probably doesn't exist.
Bans are not broadcasted ever so technically we have no way of knowing how many it bans. Mcgamer makes a big deal about private bans, which is BS. What government keeps every single court case private? They dont, they allow the press to broadcast and interpret the information with whatever bias they wish. This is one thing that HAS to change. So many other networks at least mention someone was banned (without names), with some networks listing the name and reason for the punishment.

To get people to stop whining mcgamer needs to make bans public

I hate it when people who have no idea about Java development or any development in general, come out and say that its a easy bug to fix and is trivial. Just because the thing that is broken is a small part of the game, does not mean it is an easy thing to fix. I really would like to see any of the people talking bad about our amazing developers try to develop such an advanced and complicated SG game mode. You need to learn Java for years before you can even start telling them how easy something is to fix.

Btw, Hypixel does not support 1.7

Technically the FnS glitch has been here for a very long time where the last charge doesn't work. It was fixed for a short while but came back with the 1.7 1.8 compatibility.

MCGamer is known for the competitive SG. It hopped on the minigames train very late and the minigames aren't exactly fun and easy to play. The rest of the minigames are a waste of developers' time. I joined in MCGamer V1 so I wouldn't know what it's like back when it was mcsg v 1 / mcsg v 2 but MCGamer V1 was great. The issues get fixed very quickly (except for the fns glitch at that time) but now even a small bug like the bow not shooting or food not eating takes more than a year and still not fixed.

The new anti cheat was also released, but it does pretty much nothing. I've seen players speed hacking and using no slow but these very basic speed hacks cannot be detected by the ac. A mod told me the anti cheat isn't in effect yet but I don't even know if staff are trustworthy these days.

I really wish mcgamer would step up its game. When a network gets complacent and forgets where it grew from, that's where the network goes downhill. I don't wish to see MCGamer go down because I like it, but at this rate more players will leave than join. There's no point in tagging Chad, he hasn't been active for a while.

You can actually request name suppression in most cases, so the press aren't allowed to release the info....
