MCSG is almost broken beyond repair. Keep in mind I said 'almost' for a reason. There's stuff that can be done by the staff and us, SO MUCH that can be done. Here's what main things I'd advise of the staff:
-bring back classic beloved maps and cut down on most of the recently added ones or ones the community doesn't like much. We want moonlight lake we want wyverns wake we want all of that. Know what we don't want? Almost every map added in the last 6 months. We don't need all this stuff, most players have one common complaint about mcsg: having to leave every server 4 times before finding one with a good map. It used to be that every few games we'd have to leave ONE, it wasn't like this before.
-fix the dispensers, trapped chests, furnaces, etc. We want stone sword tree, the potion the iron pants and axe on valleyside, all of it. We LIKE these things, it's as if they're basically like a tier 3 chest with one special item. It's not bad to have them here! Also, make it so we can break item frames again maybe you aren't so much a fan of the iron axe and rod and bows on TSG2 at teepees but we the players love and miss them.
-there's too many hackers. Hackers are straight up EVERYWHERE on mcsg now it's honestly depressing. The worst part of it is that not only randies hack but the clan community and competitive pvp players 80% of them hack now! It's to the point where people in the clan community have started hacking just because everyone else does and they need to be able to compare! Your anticheat clearly can't pick up much considering all of this just slides by and never gets caught. I'm not saying you need to go full-out godly anticheat like badlion's anticheat but you need something better. Something that actually can catch stuff and bring the server back to the place where it was. I get that there'll be hackers probably one every few games but right now I'd say 25% of the players on the server cheat in some way. And that's sad.
-Friend rank. Friend rank would be distributed to resigned staff members who truly did their job and were there for at least 3 months, youtubers who quit youtube, mapmakers whose maps were removed from the servers, and close friends of administrative staff. Come on we loved friend rank there were just some senior staff members who didn't like it; everyone else liked it. Do what helps the server, not just personal preferences
-TOLERANCE. Something you guys have never had is tolerance and forgiveness. Badlion does something where often a cheater can admit to their wrongdoings and receive an unban a month later. I'm not saying this is exactly what you should do; imo it's a bit much. But I think you should have an event called a forgiveness day, kind of the opposite of judgement day. It'd be where during one day, anyone can submit a ban appeal, admit to all of their wrongdoings, give the IGN of every account they own or were banned on, apologize for everything they did, and be given an unban. I myself hacked a long time ago and I've ban evaded ever since. You say there's tolerance but even though I haven't hacked in almost 3 years, you refuse an unban simply because I ban evaded. I don't cheat anymore, I've admitted to my wrongdoings, I'm sorry and regret them. There's a lot of people like me. People who hacked, spread rumors, macro'd, were disrespectful, or even ddos'd but have changed but you don't let them back even though they're better people. Have some tolerance for god's sake you've lost so many beloved members to the community to servers like hive or badlion just because you wouldn't let them back after they made a mistake. THAT is a mistake you've made and should fix so again, forgiveness day.
-Cut down on your gamemodes. Sorry to say it but nobody gives one flying bunnies about UHC Worlds, Survival bingo, deadly descent? No. I don't care what in the hell you say you aren't mcgamer you're mcsg and always will be. Focus on MCSG because that's what people care about and it's what you are. If I were you, I'd even go as far as to change the name back for nostalgic purposes. I'd also go back to the previous forum website domain of minecraftsurvivalgames.com
-Fix all the damned glitches ffs. Armor doesn't go on, eating doesn't work, bows dont shoot, fns doesnt light, the 4th use never works at all, what's going on?!
-I don't know if others would side with me on this but honestly I far prefer the old forums. That old format is so much better in my opinion. The current one isn't quite as easy to navigate and just looks like hive's honestly. Also, organize the staff section of the forums ffs. It was so much better before when it showed chad as owner, then admins, senior mods, mods, then VIPs. It doesn't need to be a big irritating jumbled mess of them all just to be in alphabetical order.
-I know everyone brings this up and immediately gets shut down but please please please PLEASE bring back hell games. Hell games was the best thing that ever happened to MCSG. Don't even stop here, we want other community events. Do a whole big community UHC that would be sign-up based similarly to hell games.
-Go back with chest tierings. I know many haven't changed but little things should go back to the way they were. Gravel trap doesn't need a chest on it, only the tier 2 chest on the tree our god bajancanadian discovered is all we need at that area but if I'm correct that's a tier1 and the tier2 is on top of gravel trap. Little things like these should ALL be reverted.
-If you bring back wyverns wake, keep the furnace items. Don't publicly advertise them and tell youtubers to avoid getting them on video because that's the special thing about them is that only the elitest players get to know about them. It's a special thing. I remember when so few people knew about them that in most games they wouldn't be touched because nobody in the game knew.
-We want our old youtubers back and badly. It seems to be that the kings of MCSG that everyone cares about now are people like solrflare, austen, biboy, etc. Don't get me wrong I love these guys but the face of MCSG was shmoopies, tomahawk, blamph, lovelights, bajancanadian of course, later on huahwi. To anyone who no longer records on here or doesn't play much, do whatever you can to get them back because we miss them. They belong on top and they're what represent classic true MCSG
-I don't know if it's still like this but get some staff that know what hacks are. I have no idea if it's this way still but I know around a year and a half to two years ago I remember that there would be so many false hacking bans and they'd dispute and be shut down most of the time. If it's still like this, fix it please. Make sure that at least your senior mods know who to accept ban appeals from
-back to the whole forgiveness day topic, there's another aspect of it to bring up. The forums are their own whole community (or at least they were back on old forums). un-forum-ban arena master. I remember he made an alt on the forums to come forward and apologize for everything and try for an unban but you just immediately deleted the thread and banned him, it was pretty sad to see.
-Little gameplay aspects and glitches we liked. Like how on TSG2 and things you couldnt break wheat or carrots but you could jump on them and they'd come up. Stuff like that are things we all want back.
-Solar Frost V1. PLEASE. PLEEEEEEEEEEASE
-Old hub. This is a big one. I liked the hub that was first implemented right when you got a hub and how you could go down to the wall of signs and join an SG. There were three walls, the left wall (impossible to get in to without donor usually) the middle wall (easier and usually the best games to join) and the right wall (pretty much booster wall where there'd usually be 10 man games. This was where clans would go to find a game for a clan battle). We want that back quite badly. having SG 5178 is just silly and we all dislike it. We want SG 1-200 back.
-Bring back the original moonbase and icarus just like solar frost. The v2 versions really just can't compare. Also holiday v2 is unnecessary.
-Stay outta clans. I miss before when the staff team lowkey disliked clans but completely ignored them and just didn't bother with them. The closest you went to helping us was letting us keep the clans and teams section on the forums and other than that you just let us be. Don't get involved please I've seen you try getting into the clan community much more starting around the time that elevate arose. During that time is when clans started to fall.
-Remove the GUI. The GUI on the right side of the screen may appear professional but it's overall just annoying. It was so much better when you just did /tl to see when deathmatch or something was and did /server to find what server you're in and map details and things.
NOW FOR THE COMMUNITY:
We gotta do our part too, it's not just them messing things up.
-To all of you resorting to hacking, stop. Just play the game and maybe everyone else will too.
-Bring back the good clan community. Actually play the game, be on with your clan, do scrims and battles and make clans fun again. Once there was titans, aviate, react, deception, sovereign, kronic, Forsaken, forgotten, true rebels (sorry but current rebels isn't what the real rebels were), cyanvolts, there were so many relevant clans. Now there's like 3 clans that are relevant and don't even play then dozens of randies who play one battle then disband. Come on guys
-Don't be so toxic. The minecraft community in general has gotten incredibly rude. A long time ago, believe it or not gg was good sportsmanship. Go back to just playing the game for fun, saying gg when you die, playing the game without being an ass. Don't target people to the ends of the earth, dont call people names for killing you or making you mad, just play the game the way it's supposed to be played.
I'd say for now that's all I can come up with for ways MCSG could go back to the way it once was. I know it has potential but if nobody can act on it, it'll just keep on going downhill the same way people like antvenom did. Every last inch of relevance and popularity and down and down until it's nothing. MCSG will die if you and we don't take action. ~~
