Hello,
As many of you may know, I currently hold the best wwarp in the Skyblock server. This is not bragging rights, nor me showing off, this is stating a fact.
I did not get this way easily, and it required a lot of time, effort, in-game and real life money.
I also could not have done this without the help of my friends, such as Starlethe, Dark, Emskibemski18, Neptunesbread, _FoxKing21 & Ovnacija, for which I am extremely grateful, you guys have been pillars of the Skyblock community and I am so proud to call you guys friends.
In recent months, we have undergone many nerfs to our Islands, which we took at face value to start with.
However, the recent hopper nerf made it so hundreds of hours of work was basically for nothing, and I know that the Oneblock community feels this too. They have spent considerably more time than us on Skyblock building their islands, and have had changes happen to them without warning or explanation too.
These have ranged from a /shop bug when updating a plugin, the big sheep nerf, hoppers being made slower, minion changes that rendered them unusable for days and more. While I understand that many of the changes are made for the sake of TPS issues, lag, or helping Bedrock players access the server better, I feel like as the hoppers were being used instead of the Slimefun plugin which was primarily used for storage on the last Skyblock, the new iteration of Skyblock, should have been thought out better prior to the server re-opening that hoppers and chests would cause lag, and something put in place to combat this before people spent all of this time building up the economy, and their islands. Hoppers are not cheap, they are $10,000 each, and while the Skyblock community boomed quickly, and the economy grew, it should have been realized from the beginning just how many people would actively play Skyblock as opposed to the previous iteration at the end. However, you could see from the previous version before the reset there were thousands of pwarps, which meant that Skyblock was indeed very popular before it was reset, so it couldn't even be argued that it was unexpected popularity.
I am therefore staging a protest, I have lost many friends now to these changes, that have happened without warning and without explanation. I cannot stress this enough, that people are not as upset about the hoppers being changed, as the fact nobody is ever told this is going to happen until it's happened, and we have either a vague explanation in-game that you have to "be there" to see, or within a forum post as a reply that gets buried.
There are a few forum posts that have been made talking about this, and people are still upset about this issue. It is not going to be something that people are just going to "forget about" like I feel the server hopes.
I don't want to see my friends banned for sharing IPs of other servers, so they can continue to play together, nor do I want to see our community die because people are simply quitting skyblock.
My wwarp will be closed until further notice, and I am urging people to do the same. We are not asking for demands, we are not asking for anything except an explanation, and an opportunity in future to be able to contribute or make suggestions towards proposed changes, or at the very least some warning about changes happening.
To summarize, we are not asking for demands, this is very important. We are not asking for hoppers to be restored, we are simply asking for an explanation, and warning before changes happen in future, so that the community does not feel left in the dark, unwilling to progress further for fear their time will be wasted due to another "nerf". We would also appreciate something to acknowledge the changes that have happened, and an explanation as many people are unsure, and its been left to heresay.
Thank you for your time,
