Hello Tributes,

Over the past few months, we have held had factions based survival servers on Minecraft. When we initially created it, we had the intention of having a server where groups of friends can get together and compete against one another with friendly rivalries over land and resources. It was a team-focused game that would let friends do something together in an organized fashion.

But in reality, “friendly rivalries” quickly escalated into something much worse than that.

Factions is meant to be competitive, but many players would take playing the game way too far. From the near-constant accusations of hacks to in-game actions being taken as personal attacks, players of all levels were affected by drama between factions. Friendly rivalries became hyper-competitive, and people began using out-of-game information to affect in-game actions. Faction arguments would elevate beyond the scope of the server and eventually spilled over into the larger community as a whole and even through third-party applications. Factions Survival, started with the best of intentions, soon became a hostile environment.

For the longest time, we did our best to address the issues that people brought up in Factions, but enough is enough. Countless hours have been spent trying to make peace between the players from various Factions, only to have issues return only days later. Arguments would escalate rapidly out of control and ultimately become a detriment to the community. People didn’t want to join the Factions server because they knew they were jumping into a flamewar. A server is not worth the trouble if it causes so much stress to the staff, the players, and the community as a whole.

We apologize for the sudden removal of Factions, but enough is enough. This is a videogame, not something worthy of personal attacks.

On the brighter side, something new is on the horizon. Survival will return in a new twist to fix the issues we had with Factions. And boy, is it a lot of fun.

TL;DR: family-friendly Factions just could not exist, but we are cooking up something that will be both fun and friendly.

We will soon provide a map download if you feel you want to continue your work elsewhere.

You should have actually played on a few factions servers before starting your own... factions is basically the opposite of friendly.

A Towny server would be nice.

Me and my friend had just started playing on it when KRaid and Dave joined saying that the server was being closed... But my first few minutes on that server were good fun!

I've spent months working on a great base....just for it to be taken down. I believe that people rage and hostile action are normal to what happens when someone is killed or when their base is raided. I find this ridiculous just to take it down just for this reason. Their are thousands of accusation on MCSG of people hacking, and Chad isn't taking away survival games because of them. Every game is competitive and it is very heartbreaking to see such a great survival server go down the drain. Especially since all the work people people took out of their own time to make and base and so fourth.

Chad is very true on this, multiple factions i have been on have lead to drama, and so on. I think it was a great idea to take the factions server down.
