As MCGamer consider gamma as a hack I really hope I don't get deranked for it. I got banned for the gamma 'hack' exactly a year ago which was when I had no idea it was even against the rules, nevermind being considered as a hack. I stopped using it instantly as soon as I knew it was bannable and if I get deranked for one small mistake like that then I'm going to be pretty annoyed.

However, the basic idea behind the punishment is something that is quite definitive: players who have previously hacked (and thus gotten some ill-gotten wins) do not deserve to be ranked on the same level as players who have played legitimately. One factor we've found that turns people to hacking is the desire to win; they don't have the skills to play fairly, so they turn to hacking to boost their wins on the leaderboards. We hope to further discourage the use of hacks by hitting that type of hacker where they will feel it most: their leaderboard page. Our intention is to encourage fair competition with all players, and since using hacks will permanently misrepresent one's stats, hackers' stats should not be considered..
I would like to say that I did clean up my act and I barely got any wins while I was cheating and I got the majority of my 1000 + wins legit, this is the main reason I am outraged at that you think this is a appropriate way to treat your players. I have already been thrown down on the floor by the community for previously hacking and now you as the "owners" state that I still have equality to just turn around and throw this stupid argument at me. It is completly outrages and should not have even been brought up! You should have just stuck with the old method of removing perma banned players. Since I understand "some wins" may have been gotten from ill gains but what about the ones that didn't? Do they mean nothing? Nothing at all? Obviously they do mean something, you as owners are just being ignorant, it is as if you are spitting on us all, this is why I despise the MCSG owners because you are just plain out rude to your own loyal followers.

I have played MCSG for a considrible amount of time, a time I dread to even state. Just to get my rank now, think about a player who has devoted so much time and effort into getting this placement on the leaderboards just to be removed in short notice of the update. This is a horrific expeirence for me already and I don't know how I will react, this is just something I cannot let go as a "small thing". You have just irritated me so much right now I think MCSG is just being unfair to its own community.

This is all I have to state and I understand you will brush this away as another "minor" complaint but this will not be only me. When this update happens I am going to move to one of your opposing servers (proably Hive) and I feel even though I dislike the server more than this one I will enjoy it more there.

Goodbye MCSG admins I hope you take this into account instead of brushing me away like im dust, as you usally do.

Atleast you understand, I feel that MCSG just don't get it. I 2 years ago, yes 2 YEARS ago made this mistake. It is easy for a 13 year old to make a dumb mistake and get himself banned. I am diffrent now, I am not the same, I have cleaned up my act and I am going to be prosicuted again because I did something dumb. I could beg to get on but what would that do? Aswell as I do not feel like kneeling to some overseer of the server who doesn't see me as anything more than an insect.

  • "User who have previous upheld hacking bans on their accounts will be deranked from the Leaderboards. Anyone who has ever played a game through unfair means does not deserve to be ranked amongst those who play fairly."

Although I've never been banned for hacks, I'd like to drop an opinion.

People have been banned in the past for hacking, I get they broke the rules and got unlegit wins, but this shouldn't be the way.

I believe, from the time you were banned - deranked from the leaderboards for 3 months~. After this period, people could appeal their rights to be on the leaderboards like they would appeal to be unbanned. I know it's kind of vague, but I'm sure MCG staff could think of a way around doing this.

One more question I would like to ask, I assumed in the point that you infered that we would also be removed off the new leaderboards, am I right to guess this?

It is going to make people's lives so much easier and it will help us, as Staff, to catch more hackers and make the community a more fun, enjoyable place for you ALL to play on :) Hope you all utilize it well :)

Old Stats? New Stats?

The last month has been very active with talk and rumors about a pending Global Leaderboards Reset. Many great points were made during the discussion, along with proposals for alternatives in the face of a possible reset of the global leaderboards. While a majority of players, both ingame and on the forums (78% and 53.4%), voted for a leaderboard reset, we did not want to disappoint so many players who were obviously quite passionate about preserving the way things were. As a result, we have explored numerous options with our developers and outside sources, including players who have suggested viable alternatives.

We were originally meant to make this announcement earlier this month, but we felt that this was not a decision that could be rushed. And while we may be a few weeks late, our patience has paid off. Our research and reviews have enabled us to do something we previously thought we could not: Overall Statistics, on top of Legacy Leaderboards and the New Leaderboards system!

Let’s be clear:

1. We are not deleting anyone’s stats.
2. Old stats will continue to be updated via Overall Leaderboards.
3. With the new update, we are offering new ways to view your stats on an updated leaderboard.


You hear that? There’s no talk of a global reset or a world-ending apocalypse anywhere with this. So while previous discussions have always used the term, “Global Stats Reset”, we will now prefer the term, “Global Leaderboards Update”.

Now that everyone’s put away their torches, pitchforks, and loudspeakers, let’s go into detail as to what the Global Leaderboards Update will bring:
  • A New, Updated Leaderboard! The star of the show of the Global Leaderboards Update. Brand new with a host of new features, we have a lot of exciting things in store for this new leaderboard. More information below.
  • Legacy Leaderboards. Prior to the network update and stats reset, the MCSG leaderboards up to that point will be saved as a separate leaderboard. Older players will have their statistics memorialized online, and their Legacy stats will show alongside their new stats in the updated /stats command.
  • Overall Lifetime Statistics. That’s right, we can do both! We will be offering both a dedicated webpage and an ingame command that will show the combined statistics from the Legacy Leaderboards and the New Leaderboards to show the combined statistics which is updated nightly. This will be the de facto source for statistics and rankings for both new and old players, allowing them to compare rankings across the entire lifetime of MCSG.
  • On our new website, a special ribbon will be given to the top players on the Legacy Leaderboards at the time of the reset. This special ribbon will be prominently displayed on their page on the New Leaderboards, and higher-ranked players will receive a distinct ribbons based on their worldwide ranking.
  • User who have previous upheld hacking bans on their accounts will be deranked from the Leaderboards. Anyone who has ever played a game through unfair means does not deserve to be ranked amongst those who play fairly.
While we cannot go into details about what the new Leaderboard has to offer (we’ll all get to see it with the official release), Here’s what is planned to be in store:
  • More Efficient scripts. The old Leaderboards were nearly several years old, and much of it was patched together with chewing gum and duct tape. Some elements were taken offline for repair, but the repairs were never done due to the technical complexities of our Franken-Leaderboards. Now that we’re able to update our leaderboards from the ground up, our boards will be much more efficient, reliable, and easier to fix. While the users may realize it on a day-to-day basis, the servers will appreciate working with leaner, meaner, more efficient code.
  • Flexible Code. The old Leaderboards are anemic in terms of what it can do, due to the fact that it was the first SG Leaderboards of its kind in the entire realm of Minecraft up to that point. But because of that, it is inflexible and difficult to modify, preventing a number of new features from being added. Because we were able to update our leaderboards from the ground up, code flexibility has been made paramount, allowing us to add in a number of features that have been previously neglected due to technical limitations.
  • Time-based Leaderboards (Trending). Our most highly-requested feature. Daily Leaderboards? Weekly Leaderboards? Monthly Leaderboards? Perhaps even Seasonal Leaderboards? All are possible! Players will finally have a chance to be at the top of a leaderboard, if only for a day.
  • Regional Leaderboards. Our second most highly-requested feature. We know how you all stack up globally, but how do you stack up in your region? Games will be sorted by region and their statistics tracked independently. Players may compete to be the top of their region, but only the most hardcore will reach the top of the globe.
  • Updated Tracking. Thanks to that brand new code, we’ll now be able to track a larger number of statistics with a greater level of sophistication. It’ll explain itself once you see the list of statistics we intend to track. More stats below.
  • Achievements. As hinted at earlier, Achievements will be possible to track and display on players’ Leaderboards page. These little challenges will encourage players to set goals for themselves during their games, rewarding them for reaching milestones such as, “Win 100 games” or “Get a 1.0 K/D ratio”.
  • Medals and shiny things. Also hinted at earlier, Medals will act similarly to Achievements, but will be rewarded on a participation basis. If the user does something extraordinary that is not normally tracked by the Achievements system (such as be one of the top 1000 players in the Leaderboards or participate in a community event), the player may be awarded a custom medal that will be prominently shown on their Leaderboards page.
Are you a number nut? Do you pore over trivia about players? Are you taking a Statistics class and need an idea for a fun project? If so, then you’re bound to be excited by the updated tracking abilities of our new Leaderboards. We’ll be tracking a number of statistics, ranging from the essential (W/L ratio) to the interesting (Furthest hit with Bow and Arrow) to the enjoyably random (Total distance travelled via boat).

Here’s a hint of some of the statistics that are planned to be added:
  • All of the current stats
  • Number of arrows shot.
  • Distance travelled via walking/sprinting/swimming/boat, etc.
  • Longest Arrow Shot.
  • Arrow Accuracy.
  • Longest Winning Streak.
  • Number of Stats Resets Used
  • Date of their First Game
  • Date of their First Win
The Global Leaderboards Update for the Minecraft Survival Games will be part of the MCG V2 Updates, and will be released 11/12/2014.

This is just the start of the what MCGamer has in store. Stay tuned for more updates, features, and exciting things in store as part of the MCG V2 Updates.
then why is it called "Stats Reset"
