This thread is a copy of what I made on EMC forums. It is not directed to the whole PMC community but it's worth reading.
[Warning, this is a thread for people that actually think and that it's not an average submissive sheep]
Hello dear blind empire minecraft players,
I'm back and only for 1 reason, I want to tell you the truth.
I was silented by Jeremy because he didn't want me to steal his precious players, I never tryed such things. The reason doesn't stop there, I was banned because Empire Minecraft is a business, and I was stealing it's costumers.
I know that moderators may instantly come and delete this thread, I don't actually care. If anyone, someone simply reads this my work has been done.
I would like everyone (including moderators and senior staff) to read this, because I'm pretty disapointed to what happened, if your a mod or a senior staff, please don't delete this thread so fast, at least read it and give me a chance, a chance for a change.
Empire Minecraft servers are a trademark from Kalland labs (I guess that everyone knows that) but the thing is that EMC has converted Minecraft into their monopoly (or at least they attempt to do such) if we all stop to think, the work that Justin and Jeremy have to do to mantain this business it's not that hard, they setup a model (which indeed took some time to make) modified some plugins and got everything on a server cloud which doesn't cost what supporters pay.
Everyone on this business say that Justin is the best and they both should be gods, but that's why you guys are blind and it's something that took me a LONG time to realize.
The EMC servers are not as great as everyone says, there is something that's called the "bandwagon effect" I'm quoting here:
The Bandwagon Effect is basicly once your server gets popular it will get more players not because its good but because there are alot of players. Once people see that a server has alot of players they will think it is good just because it has been able to attract enough attention to itself
Well, that's something that happened here. The model basically works fine based on publicity, Empire Minecraft servers are featured all around, from youtube to twitter, from mcserverlist to minecraftopia. EMC has a huge marketing campaign that brings more and more players to the server.
According to the forums stats, Empire Minecraft has 42,888 players (to the time I consulted) which would be around 0.7% of the whole minecraft player database.
0.7% mind sound "small" for you, but that's a pretty big number when we consider that EMC would have double players than other "big" servers such as obsidiancraft or nyancraft.
So, that's the reason why it's so popular, but if you stop to think, EMC has only around 300 players online all the time. So if per hour (1 day = 24hours) 300 players camed in and 300 leave (which I believe it's a total exageration) EMC would actually have just 7200 players (or less).
The community is not the number 1 priority on EMC, the priority here it's to have the business running 24/7 365 days a year and supporters buying supporter packs daily.
To proove it, how many times have you made cool suggestions that community appreciates that simply are denied with weak justifications? The truth is that they don't want to have more stuff set in and that the business has a great way to "calm" down players by giving them more supporter perks or more plugins.
I just saw (for example) this perk: empireminecraft.com/threads/new-supporter-perk-set-respawn-anytime.11215/
well, I'm sad to burst your bubble, but that's noway "awesome". It's called essentials, they got you tricked to think that they think of new perks and stuff all the time, but it's not truth.
Do you know how hard it's to add that new perk?
Go to permissions folders --> Find iron supporter group --> add node: essentials.sethome and essentials.home --> Close it --> /manload --> Trick everyone by saying that this is an exciting new perk and that you are always coding complex stuff for people. Obviously it didn't work like that, they added that sethome thing as a listener for bed right clicking, but still, pretty basic.
I decided to leave because I was tired of this business, I was tired to see that anything and everything I suggested was never important to the people that run this, I was tired to see that people was actually joining the servers to do nothing, because their 60x60 plots where already built in and because their wilderness creations could get griefed simply with no help from staff (which I obviously don't blaim this time) Obviously, some people like the SMP7 colony peeps didn't loose the hope and they could survive to this, but ask them about how many times they got griefed and what it takes for them to protect it daily.
I decided to leave because I wanted to make a server where people could build freely, on a minecraft world, where the creativity was not limited to a cuboid, where they could get their stuff protected anywhere and where griefers would get what they diserve because of complex plugin networks such as block loggers and usefull staff tools. Yes, you might say "I Wouldn't leave EMC because my friends are here" but if you ask them, they probably don't leave because of the same thing. If you all go together and look for better places, I'm sure that you would see that you could have more fun than what you could on this monopolist model.
I'm literally working my a** out (yes it hurts after hours of trouble solving and configuration) to make a server that fits a great experiece for everyone. A server that it's based on the community and not in a business model, I'm back because I didn't like how Jeremy attempted to silent my mind with a forums and server ban, we are on a free world, and at least EMC it's on a free country (yes, welcome to the united states)
I'm not here to promote that server, I don't mind doing that since I know that people knows how to contact me and find the Delta Team if they want, but I'm here to give a shout out and hear what people thinks about it, I know that the first staff reaction will be /ban and /mute and /ignore and such, but I would like to recieve an opportunity to let people think for themselfs and say what they think.
I give you the opportunity to say "no, EMC it's great because of x,y and z" or simply think about it and change your average routine by changing something in your life.
If your here to say "you'r just a hater, we love EMC" Just to win a couple likes and believe that your the last cookie of the bowl then go ahead, I don't care about it.
I know that My voice will be again siltented, and it's a SHAME that I can't spend my time with this epic community, It would be epic to have some people as my staff on my server, it would be epic to see some friends having fun and enyoing. It would be epic to move this community into a better place. I know this won't bring my EMC friends to me, but It's something I faced when I decided to leave.
Think for yourself, and think what you want. At least in minecraft.
