Notice 1: This here is an opinion on what I have gathered over the past few months of playing Survival again in Pika-Network.
Any commentaries are welcomed in this thread, as long as it sticks to the actual situation of what we are facing right now.
Notice 2: We know the Staff are doing whatever it takes to maintain Pika itself, do not take this as something very important, just take the time to read this thread through the eyes of a concerned player, those that want Survival to prosper again, and me representing all those things. (Think as a Lawyer who speaks for others now.)
-=========================================================================-
As you may all have know, the bulk of Pika-Network's Original Players(Or OG as other people call it) have slowly left Pika, and not just the server itself, but Minecraft as a whole, over the past few months after returning (from a long tiring work that we will devoid of giving more information on what it is, truth be told, we don't like to talk about it.) Survival is one of those Pika-Network Servers that seems to be dying much as it already seems, and over the time of observing it, the player counts don't even reach a stable 15+ or above anymore, it's always below that count most of the time. (Sometimes it goes up to 15, but below 20, often.) Some of the Pika-Network Servers seem to be facing the current issue as well, but let's focus on Survival itself as a whole first, it's dying, yes we can all agree to that at one point, but think of all the new players that come in,(excluding the ones that come from other Servers just to trade, right now we count 189 people from Factions alone just to trade and if they're new in Survival and they came from Survival their vote counts lag up the place.)and then there's the situation with the lag issues, sometimes there are sudden lag spikes that lag everyone at the same time, I know I'm no bright person when it comes to business-related issues, but could we at least enjoy a server that has low lag effects on gameplay? Mostly of the populace complaints are all lag related, and one more thing, curious as it may seems, why are the buyable Survival Ranks removed? I see some possible donators come in sometimes and ask me(Or any other Donator) how we got our ranks and we answer them the right way, which they question if we bought them, then how is it that the ranks are not buyable anymore.
I came here now to do multiple things in one post. Survival Fate Vote-off, Reduce Lag-related Issues on Pika itself, and Improve the Rank System of Survival itself.
Reduce Lag-related Issues are already self-explanatory, let's proceed to the other 2 now.
Let's start with Improving the Rank System of Survival, when I first joined, there were only 4 Buyable Ranks, Samurai, Ninja, Paladin/Warlock, and Alchemist (We forgot the old names of the ranks, forgive our rusty memories) then overtime a couple years later, two more Ranks were added, Wizard and Noble, these 6 Ranks have become a community favorite as I viewed on the Survival Server itself during my stay, but as for those who couldn't afford to buy the actual ranks, could they be given some in-game buyable ranks? (Like the ones in the other servers) This way, it could draw in more players to Survival. (Most players ask the same common question of "How to rankup?" which is what brought me to this)
More Players = High Chance of getting Players who can donate = More Funds for the Server = Improved Systems for the Server itself = More Players again. (It's a looping rinse and repeat, you get the idea of how the flow works.)
I have suggestions for Player in-game buyable Ranks (Which we'll re-edit later since we aren't done on balancing them yet) And yes, let's not forget the balancing of Survival, having the common perks of the ranks like /fly, /fix, /feed, and /ec are alright, (Even /rename and /nick are good to keep as well) some commands should be nerfed as well and kits should be tweaked a bit, same goes to the proposed-in-game buyable ranks too.
Next let's talk about the Survival Fate Vote-Off, I will plop down a Poll for People to vote on, think about it, Survival is one of the oldest Pika Servers right after Factions(Since it's the 1st game mode Pika started with as stated by KingCobra himself) and with the upcoming 1.13 Aquatic Update, and people saying that it will be the best update Minecraft has ever gotten ever since the "World of Colors" Update, the next reset should have Survival under the 1.13 effect or better, have Pika-Network itself as a whole as 1.13 so everyone can enjoy the game as one. (No more adjust to the outdated client users.) Mostly everyone can play 1.12.2 already so why not do the entire Server as a favor and do ourselves a BIG UPDATE too like what 1.13 will be? (Hope that 1.13 doesn't become a No Man's Sky too)
There is a Poll after this Post, think of the possibilities we could accomplish in this we call a "Crusade" for Pika-Network, I will leave the rest of your opinions to you, oh Players of Pika-Network to say what is in your mind, voting is for the public and you can change your mind(And vote) anytime you want, but let's all be clean and truthful of our opinions.
(Btw, please be serious about your voting on the poll, getting the exact number of people to be concerned for Pika and Minecraft itself should be treated as a well respected game, and not anymore a Toxic Game, if we want to turn Minecraft into the famous game it was once before then let's start here, start now.)
-=========================================================================-
Leave your opinions under, we can debate on to how my suggestions also have downsides as well, I know I am aware of what downsides my suggestions have, so I am happy to hear your comments regarding the situation we are facing right now.
