Poll: Get rid of creative server or not

[phillip1299]

I voted that we drop creative altogether. Some reasons I think we don't need it are:

- It just costs too much money with the current amount of traffic our server gets nowadays (This means new players joining / sticking around) and it doesn't seem fair to put responsibility of re-donating on our current donors. We should be able to attract new donors, not the same 10 or 20 people every month, this just doesn't seem fair in my opinion.

- Sadly, most new people on the creative server these days just turn out to be griefers or they're not on the server for the "creative" aspect of it, they just want to blow giant holes in the ground.

- Whenever there's a problem on the creative server, like a griefer or someone needing help, there is never any staff on creative, nor do they enjoy having to switch servers every time to check on grief alerts (I'm not bashing or saying this is bad moderating, I wouldn't want to be switching back and forth every time either). So the creative server is left more vunerable and I think it's safe to say an extremely high percentage of people banned on kreatious get banned for their actions on the creative server.

- My final reason is something which I think should be really looked at. How many players on the creative server have donated as opposed to people who mainly play on survival now. I don't mean in the past, I mean ever since we have opened up the offical 1.0 map. This is mainly why I voted No. If players who enjoy survival donate because they're enjoying the survival aspect, then why should their money go towards a server they are not interested in?

So that is my point of view on the matter. I don't understand why you Zerg want to compromise and still keep the creative server when 39 people (81%), compared to 9 people (19%) don't want to bother with a creative server anymore? Isn't this area of the forum supposed to be about making big decisions like this? Not looking at a poll and saying..."hmm..only 19% still want creative so lets keep the creative server and go against the other 89% people's valid opinions, and continue to host a server nobody wants! ".

I find it extremely frustrating that after all of the drama of going through two server splits, the he said, she said arguments, the childish fighting about poor management, that absolutely nothing has changed since I left VanillaCraft. Everybody said Qustom didn't listen to the community, everbody said krisst didn't listen to the community with wanting to install towny, and guess what? Now you're not listening about everything. You don't want to do what's best for the server. You don't want to drop creative even though 89% of people do, you're making people donors permanently, instead of them having to donate again every month to keep their donor rank and to keep the server running, I know HovR has been after you for a month to try and fix something with the forums and I doubt it has been fixed and you don't want to use proper spawn protection like we had on the 1.7 map. I looked around spawn two nights ago and people had built houses literaly 5 blocks away from the christmas tree, broken ornaments on the tree, stolen gifts, and dug holes through the walls of spawn.

Anyway...went off on a tangent there, but that is how I really feel about how things.

I would QFT, but that's a long quote. Anyway, I just want you to know, I feel that way too, phill. But! I didn't think about the donors on survival v. creative. Good point

[mattchuu]

I agree with phill heavily. Zerg, I think you're amazing, lazy as all hell, but amazing. You've saved us many times and brought us many fun things buuuut. A dragon flying around the server isn't as helpful as fixing the grief problems (and don't give me that eve stuff, look at the christmas tree, she isn't stopping it.)

[cruiserman]

i would like to drop it but i have a big project (better aqua) in my hands but i log into creative because someones griefing me:(

[iExspee]

The creative map is pointless, kreatious is all about lagitness and the creative world is just stuffing that up, so I say remove creative now!
It is also costing kreatious too much money, and the only reason why more people were playing on creative was because they were waiting for the AMAZING 1.0 survival spawn to come out.
So please I don't really think we need the creative map so please get rid of it Zerg

I don't think you realize how damn helpful that dragon is. Trust me, Zerg implementing that dragon was extremely helpful to the server. Not being sarcastic here.

I know I'm remaining off-topic here...but Italiasoccer & I had to fix some holes at spawn a couple days ago, because either a creeper, or TNT (with no placement logs) blew up a couple chunks of spawn.

Also, having to replace clay blocks in the info room because of endermen is VERY annoying. I can live with my house blowing up from a creeper (even though I'd be very sad if he blew up near my diamond chest and I lost all my Diamond, Iron, etc.), but having to go fix spawn is very unnecessary.

[mattchuu]

Lol Hovr what is there to the dragon, so far i've only seen it fly around derpily

[bondsmatthew]

Well.. uhh, for one. He donated $50 for it. ._.

[mattchuu]

Haha, sweet. ONE $50 donation...
