Title A oneblock reset
Description of suggestion
As time goes on motivation fades, players get bored and the server begins to feel empty and inactive.
Oneblock Remastered, as it was called, released on the 22th September 2023 and merged the existing OB Glacier and Vulcan into a single new fresh and reset Gamemode after 3 long years. At the time, it was the right decision - and it worked. The reset brought back a lot of old players, general excitement and competition. Now three years later we find ourselves in a very similar situation:
- Most OG Players quit
- The "new" Oneblock is now going for 3 years
- The overall statistics mentioned in the past release announcement are mostly matched or exceeded
- Old times are repeating
Cloak, your announcement back then mentioned difficulty of maintaining "the same quality" over such a long period and other people just like myself see the same thing happening again. Heavily inflated economy, progression feeling less meaningful and newer players catching up to what's been pushed to a limit.
Since Oneblock Remastered released on 1.20.1 till now on 1.21.11 (and soon 26.1), a huge amount of content has been released to build upon for a refreshed experience.
Furthermore, please don't understand us wrong, we fully understand a reset cannot happen instantly. Preparation takes time - balancing, testing, fixing, adjusting and who knows what more. Our goal is not a rushed decision rather a simple ask for transparency and consideration.
In addition, there will always be people who vote against a reset - especially new players who just started and we completely reason that. However, this situation will always exist. If that alone would prevent action, the Gamemode would effectively never reset again.
A reset is never a decision that makes everyone happy - but it can be the decision that keeps Oneblock alive.
We stand together and express our wishes for a reset of the gamemode. Our wish stems not out of pure frustration much rather we wish for something fresh and lively to foster new-come motivation.
Foxcraft is a place many players invested a lot of time in and we would love to see a new start, a new chapter. And most importantly restore motivation.
We believe a reset would:
- Bring back inactive OG players
- Create a fair starting point for new players
- Revitalize the economy
- Restart competition and progression
- Increase overall activity and player retention (Hype)
This is why i and many others WANT a reset, now im going to explain what i PERSONALLY would like to see changed, ofcourse everyone will have different opinions on this and can share it here.
I think the server would benefit from leaderboards like PvP leaderboards giving vote points at the end of every month/week to the top contenders. This would make PvP more active, while on the topic of pvp, me personally i would like to see the removal of custom enchants. Instead, i personally would love to see the return of the old higher protection&sharpness levels. I would also like to suggest 2 pvp arena's. In one, keepinventory is on for casual players, in the other, keepinventory is off for the diehard-pvpers. I would like to suggest there also being 2 seperate pinata's. (Both spawn when the goal is reached) One thats in the keepinventory on pvp arena, and one in the mobarena. Then, i would like the PvP pinata to have better loot like diamonds and netherite. And the mobfarm pinata having the current lootpool. I will add onto this and reply to this suggestion as i see fit.
Possible side effects of suggestion
POSITIVE: more players, might bring back old ones, and the server will possibly feel less empty
NEGATIVE: some p2w players will get mad of the money reset and wont come back
