How Long Will MCSG Go On?

[xX_CraftyCrafter03_Xx]

Ok, back In 2010? Mcsg was born. A want to know how long it will go on, I mean, I am not yet old enought to apply for mod, And I would love to, but I'm scared that MCSG will end when I'm finally old enough. I think MCSG is just getting started, what are your thoughts?

Unless Chad decides to shut it all down, I would say untill the end of Minecraft.

I see that the Minecraft Gamer Network, in the rate it's in, will never end. On the 12th of April 2012, this server was launched for people to come on and have a good time. Ever since then, MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of Minecrafters came on and played, or reviewed, or checked it out, but as the community, we have a sort of responsibility to make this community go on. Donating. Trust me, I co-own a server, and let me tell you, a functional 24 hour server for thousands of people to go on is not the most cheapest thing in the world. I mean, rates for a server can go up to thousands of dollars (not lying.)

When we donate, that money goes to paying off the bill weekly, if they chose that, monthly, if they chose that, and maybe even yearly, which goes upon a cumulatively scale. And something people don't know is that since Minecraft Gamer uses Buycraft (as far as I know), for every single person that joins the server, they get MONEY! This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but something that is extremely essential, but the misconception is that when you spam join, it will only count the first time, so don't spam join a server, in hopes that you can pile up the dough on your Pay-Pal account, and Buycraft is really smart, so don't make a bunch of servers in hopes you get that cold hard cash. When you start out, every person that joins will equal to a dollar in your Pay-Pal account, but as more people join, it will count as less, and if many people are joining, then it will most likely do by groups of people who join will equal upon a set amount of money, sometimes ranging to 5¢.

So when we join, we help. So those hackers who join just to annoy us just help us economically, but not in a great scale, and no, I am not saying hackers are good for us. Their obnoxious and I look upon them poorly.

So anyway, I see that The Minecraft Gamer Network will never end, because of how far we came, how much we make, and by the prowess of our most famous gametype, the Survival Games, but Chad, at any moment can, in fact, as MoLoToV said, just shut down, close the forums, scrap the TeamSpeak server and everything that chains to the Minecraft Gamer Network.

Oh, and I disagree with you, GREATLY, on saying that MCGN "just started." In fact, that is a complete understatement and an underestimation to what the staff, the developers, and Mufasa (Chadthedj) did to be on the server that you are on today. Yes, there are bugs, but what do you bloody expect? For a pitch perfect server in great harmony? Don't we all, but then again, don't all servers have bugs and glitches and potholes in the code? It's really so much harder than you think, to patch up the code. As in a song that I sing whenever I am coding:

99 bugs in the code in the plugin
99 bugs in the code
Patch it down and tweak it around
114 bugs in the code in the plugin

You may challenge me to the lyrics of that song, but in many cases, this is a fact. Ask the developers; they have experience and the likelihood of them agreeing is great.

In conclusion, I see that the Minecraft Gamer Network will stay existing until the end of Minecraft times, for there is no set time when the server will shutdown. So as the above message has said, until Journey's End.

See, What I meant by MCSG just getting started, is that people are still donating, which means we can launch more things, and make this server much bigger. I didn't mean to insult the server in anyway, I know it's hard to code and all of that, I'm just saying with more people joining the community, we are growing much bigger.

Oh, then my apologies on the misinterpretation of the subtle message in your post.

Ok, back In 2010? ....

First of all, MCSG was created in 2012. We're celebrating our 3 year anniversary in April, not our 5th.

Secondly, it's always hard to estimate how long an online community will last, especially one as large as ours. There are many things that support us, and many things that may hinder us, but so many variables make it very difficult to accurately estimate life expectancies. In my experience, you can't look at a community and guess its lifespan, but you can watch for signs of degeneration and see if they persist; watch for smoke, not for age. Then it's a matter of knowing which signs to watch for.

Based on my time here, I don't think anyone can accurately estimate how long MCGamer will last. Some people think we'll last until the end of Minecraft, others thing we'll be dead in a month. But what I can accurately say is that most people underestimate our ability to survive. People always assume that our ship is sinking, and that we'll be dead in a month. But the fact of the matter is that we've heard those claims since 2012, and we're still standing proud.

I think it will go on till the end of minecraft...especially when we have staff like Col_StaR

 

[Yannick]

I think it will go on forever, but no one will have interest in survival games in about 1 or 2 years.. I mean survival games has been the most popular mini game for about 2 years now.. Thats a long time. And it kinda is the exact same game as back then.. people are already getting bored of it.

 

[P3num6ra]

I joined during Summer 2014, and that was a time where I could play at anytime I wanted. Now because of school, it has lacked a significant amount of players on the network. When I played, servers were always full and I never found an empty one.

 

[Ephizav2]

I'm not very optimistic, I have a feeling that this server will only go on for another 2-3 years.

This server's average amount of players on daily has been going downhill for the past year as far as I know.
