As someone who played skyblock pretty close to its release I think I qualify to make this.
Why old skyblock was so fucking fun:
- Competition: competition is what kept me and many others online and yes, the longer the season goes the competition gets stretched thinner because what the top islands have is no longer obtainable. Competition is probably to the reason why alot of players played right to the reset keeping a steady player count.
- Inflated economy & ranks: this might sound bad and it probably is, but when you “feel rich” and have a decent rank, it keeps you on the server. And most of the time the baltop is always obtainable for the richer folks who have a higher rank. Yes it was pay to win, but not a bad pay to win because everyones having fun.
- The community: this one is big for me. But for players who invest lest say a season, they become a part of the community and when the reset happens that same community is right there.
- Skeppy: I personally believe that skeppy not making videos here did not result in skyblock dying because look at kitpvp pretty much. They got like 50 players. I dont see why skyblock is different. Kitpvp and skyblock for most of the time had the same player count, sometimes skyblock has more and sometimes kit had more.
What you guys fucked up:
- Regular resets with new content to keep things fresh and change the meta
- The new skyblock: as a staff member you might think that skyblock was dead before the reset, it was not. The low player count was a result of a super long reset time and the game becoming boring because it didnt have community or competition. And let me tell you that I saw 20 or 30 players on reset day that I thought I would never see again and they were from a couple seasons back waiting for a reset to come back to skyblock. If that was a normal reset, I believe that skyblock would be doing good right now.
Can we being back old skyblock right now? Honestly I dont know if it would work out. Skyblock is missing a community that it would need to get back up. And yes an @everyone on the discord server will get some people. It will not be enough. I do believe that skeppy needs to be involved or actually all he needs to do is say something in his video about skyblock. Its probably easier than you might think. And if skeppy keeps on making videos on invaded, then honestly he wouldent need to annouce it on his video. This would work because it would pretty much put skyblock back in its early days where the peak player count was 35, that number would slowly go up with the server because of skeppy.
Anyways thats enough from me, thanks for the read. -Secured_
