What Era of MCSG Are We In?

[CAmadeusA]

The era in which everybody constantly whines about moderators not being 'good' enough.

Being staff for each era, this ^^ Has been every era.

Also it might sound weird, but I kind of miss the "Bajan era". I basically grew up as a staff member during the height of that time, and on dealing with problems related to that whole thing. Pretty nostalgic actually.

As for what era it is now, I really don't know. It's pretty open to your own interpretation I guess, but what I do know is that MCGamer, despite the occasional problems, is continuing to thrive at a rate higher than ever, and it should last a very long time.

The "Drama" era

The best and most revolutionary era : I present....TheNumberEra

Not sure about revolutionary honey

The "worship and praise members of The Cube" era, or the "sass" era.

I shall volunteer as part of being in this "sass"

Joey Graceffa era for me, that's how I found out about MCSG.

How I miss that.

The tryhard era. I miss the days when it was easy to win. Well I guess all good things must end.

I agree that this is the tryhard era (among many other things), but I miss the days when it was hard to win. Now there's a basic formula to winning that pretty much everyone can follow: get a chest route, get gear, kill the other players and win. It may have gotten harder since all the players have gotten better, but there is still a strategy to win. I miss the days back in beta where everyone was a noob, and you would run around on SG 1 in leather armor, and hide in a tree if you saw someone come close. I know the feeling has been somewhat recreated in the form of SG Classic, but it's not the same. I'm not nostalgic for being under geared and being killed by mobs. I'm nostalgic for the days when I was exploring something new, and I really didn't know what was going to happen. Nowadays, each game is really just a rinse and repeat, and any wins you get are just another number tallied on to the 1000+ you already have. Back when I started playing, you needed 26 wins to get into the top 100 (I remember, because that's the amount I had when I hit #100), and every win felt like a victory. Bringing back the gameplay from those days won't bring back the feelings, because it's the players who've changed more than the game. They care far more about winning a match than the journey it takes to get there. Each game is either a win, or a loss, not the adventure it used to be. Everyone is far too good at the game to enjoy the simple pleasures MCSG used to hold, and that's not going to change.

I'm getting really nostalgic and depressing, but I guess that's what staying up till 2:30 with a concussion will do to you

I honestly think the hacking, teaming etc era responses aren't really sufficient answers, all of these things have happened since the beginning and will happen until the end. Honestly, in my opinion, I wouldn't call it the "Map era" or anything but this has been one of the first times maps have been added and removed on a consistent basis.

I have two possibilities for the era we're in.
1) The Deathmatch teamer era: people who only team in Deathmatch to kill someone that has better stuff
2) The rule breaker era: it seems like every lobby I'm in there's someone breaking some sort of rule, be it using profane language, spamming, etc.

I'm in agreement with RC, I think we're in a transition. Soon enough, however, I would start calling this the "New Era" of MCSG. We have been around for so long that there are now people who have no idea who "egrodo" is, or who "Blamph" is, or people who don't remember that kricken was a mod on MCSG before she became a famous YouTuber. We have people that don't remember a time before Gravey4rd was #1, don't remember the regional leaderboards, some might not even remember last May when a bunch of people got unfairly (in my opinion) banned for "BSM", and everyone was scared that MCSG was going to go belly up because of all the crazy bans.

So yes, soon enough, we will be in a new era.
