Skyblock needs a new rank in exchange for a better host server

[gw_]

In the past few days the server had been very, very laggy making the server almost unplayable. There could be a few reasons for the lag, like lag machines intentionally made to crash the server, or huge farms taking up entire islands. On the other hand, kitpvp is seeing little if not no lag. The reason the admins wont upgrade the server might be because skyblock just isn't as profitable as kit. It definitely costs a lot more money to host a server where hundreds of people have thousands of different chunks loaded at the same time and building constantly than a server where hundreds of people load the same map and just fight (yes, there are playerwarps but only around 10 of them have more than 1 person). Skyblock also has a smaller playerbase, so it brings in a lot less money in ranks and keys than kit does.

TL;DR It just wouldn't make sense to pay more for a server that makes less money and less for a server that makes more money.

Another reason that skyblock makes less money is because there are only 6 ranks, as opposed to 7 on kitpvp. Kit has the equivalent of a rank above Comet, at double the price. My idea would be to do the same for skyblock, and use the money that is gained from that to upgrade the server host. Even if it would cost more to pay for better hosting than what would be made by making another rank, it would still greatly improve the playerbase. At the time of writing, the server is in immense lag and the player count is less than 100. On a normal day there would be nearly 200 players online. An improved playerbase would mean more people buying ranks and more money to support the server, as well as a much greater experience for the players.

I hope that makes sense, thanks for reading

That literally makes it more p2w. I dont want to but sometimes I feel like staff shouldn't be paid either. Then it's easy for them to just be in it for the money. If they weren't to worry about money as much, and actually put it into improving the server rather than their pockets, this would be good. Also what more is there to add to another rank above comet?

I was thinking of more like quality of life changes instead of a p2w change (like /seen). Either way kit can be considered more p2w than skyblock because paying hundreds of irl money for more p4 kits to oppress nons is more p2w than just flying around and being able to /jump, with almost everything else being cosmetic (/kits dont really make a difference besides for the tools, which can be made with cheap enchantment books anyways)

I mean kit is quite p2w. Look at overlord compared to VIP, and the price is just too much like wtf almost £200? /fly is so useful in kitpvp spawn like you really need that :O

Ig you're right about the 'quality of life changes'. It would be interesting to see what a kit above comet would be like, I just hope it wont be almost £200. I mean, I just hope they'll upgrade the server because I mean, it's the second biggest on IL. It crashes far too much.

if invaded needs to monetize the server a little more to be able to improve the quality of play on the server, then thats what they should do.

mods don’t get paid. managers+ probably do

Once pretty sure it’s srmod/admin +? If not, admin +. Displayed once their work ethic. Leaving people on blacklist appeals for months because I mean they’re getting what they want out of it ??‍

im sure the money they get from ranks partially goes back into making the server itself better not just the specific gamemode that the ranks were bought on. also kitpvp has 6 ranks and skyblock has 7 not the other way around. this idea just sucks and what do you even suggest we put in this new rank, comet isn’t even that worth it.

a new rank would be kinda cool ngl as long at it just has quality of life stuff and isn't actually p2w

I'm a little late to reply but instead of a rank, I feel they should upgrade the prizes from keys. Literally anytime anyone buys one we all go "f" in chat. More people would spend money on them if they actually were worth it.
