Why does noone play SGClassic?

[tigerbeats]

Remember the days when everyone didnt like how MCSG v2 was and everyone was excited about Classic and then boom noone wanted to play it I think its because they had only SG1 and SG2 but now it has SG1 - 4 and I sit there wondering why does noone plays SGClassic doesn't anyone remember when people didn't want to play MCSG v2 was it because of the server itself or was it the lag? And then I asked did anyone really like MCSG v1 because after every MCSG v2 game I look at SGClassic and there is only one game that is in Live and all Lobby have 0 people so please tell me why noone plays on SGClassic.

Its cause you play.

Harsh, but true

It got old. No one cares anymore.

Because that's how the minds of most members work. They won't shut up about how terrible V2 is compared to beta/V1, beg the devs to get rid of the newest plugin and go back to the one from 2 years ago and when the staff listen and get us a separate gamemode for it, no one even plays it. V1 was boring compared to what MCSG is now. The gameplay now is a lot quicker and more exciting and I think most people would agree with me. People wanted SG classic just for the nostalgia or simply to hop on the "look at me I'm an old mcsg player" bandwagon. No matter how good MCSG is, people WILL find a reason to complain.

It's not as fun as normal sg/QQ. Games are way TOO long also

You know nothing of long games. When sg 3 was first released games lasted 40 minutes average. Heck I had a game where it was an hour long and there were six people in death match. Sg classic does bring back some of the old feels. By that I mean in beta survival games took a lot more skill. What do I mean by that? Food actually use to be an issue, you had to actually think about saturation and if you were going to be able to eat soon. Mobs use to make concerned about the night, you had to find a place to hide or the mobs would kill you even if you were stacked. The games weren't just about your pvp skill, it was about outsmarting your opponent, it was about using the environment to your advantags. Many other things went into it as well, I'd love to go into it but I don't have the time. In short, sg classic only brings back SOME of the features that beta had.

I'll play with you on SG Classic.

But yes, probably because the games last way longer than the regular ones and everything has to go so fast these days. Same with quarter quell, some people can't even move on the map because of the fire lag.

I would say because gameplay is very limited, only a few maps, extremely long games, and in the one game that is running there will be the people that try hard sgclassic to get on the leaderboards, plus.. Everyone prefers normal SG.

Lack of maps and long games most likely. People just like to get in, finish a game in 5 minutes and play again. Personally, I'm not a fan of searching for someone for half an hour straight on SG3.

 

[Beardy]

Because people dislike the length. It's stupid because long games are only annoying if you play alone which too many people do. It's more fun with friends.

Also, since nobody plays it, people don't see a point in rising the leaderboards the way they can in regular MCSG.

 

[CrystalKnowledge]

Generally speaking, people want what they can't have.
I personally love SG Classic and I actually play it way more than regular SG. I find it more fun, I prefer the maps way more, and the players seem to have a much better idea of what they're doing. Also: you don't see 5 players running around in full iron every game. It makes winning on regular survival games mostly luck because literally it's so easy to get decked out.

There are a few main reasons why people do not play SG Classic.

1. MCG has grown a lot since V1 and the majority of players have started in V2. It is common knowledge that people do not like change. That is why V2 users cannot adopt to the play style that was present in V1 and visa versa people who played in V1 like that more because they got used to it and it is comfortable to them. But because MCG changed to V2 player were forced to get used to V2 where as with SGC, people have the choice to play or not.
2. Also the next main point is that the survival aspect of MCSG has gone lets be honest. Not many of the new players like spending 60 minuets searching a big map. It has turned into the PvP games where users would rather have a chest route with 8 teir 2's and get full iron straight away.
3. The last main reason people do not play is because there is no one to play with. I love SGC but I never play it. I might sound like a hypocrite but the fact is that the only reason why I do not play it, is because there is no one on to play. After all you cannot play a game with only 1 user.

The only way I can see that would be possible increase the player count would be to advertise it more.
