Hey guys, I made this discussion thread to help gather ideas for OSB, we need to take an active approach in keeping the server fresh, we had a previous thread on what we'd like to see in the next reset but I'd like to extend that thread with more posts without bumping, we all joined OSB and had something that kept us here, good or bad it doesn't matter here on this thread any ideas are welcome, any plugins, play-style changes, anything, could even be a moan about something stupid you think needs changing. This thread will be open for staff and player discussion. I would personally like to see an update to the starter islands for next reset or more methods to gather money for next reset, there are plugins for this and ways to change this, OSB could always use a revamp, the website looks good, I think the site should reflect the server. What plugins do you want to see? please, no MCMMO we've seen this repeated. I'd like to shout out an idea suggested by a player for skills or a leveling system, the purpose of this thread is to be ideas. All ideas. what do you want to do?
What an interesting thread, no one has replied yet so I suppose I will. I've always been a large believer in "don't bring up a problem unless you have a solution", I'm going to break that rule though. The truth is, the server is really boring - well, for me at least, I don't know why and I don't know how to fix it, but it is. Maybe it's just me becoming tired of skyblock or perhaps Minecraft in general, I think that's what alot of us are feeling. I, for one, just have no ambition to do anything on my island, one suggestion that could remedy this would be having a sort of monthly island competition: Overall best looking island, most advanced island, most holiday themed island, most compact island, etc. As of lately when discussing server activity and suggestions, I've been hearing alot of people use langauge such as "overhaul", "start over" and "modernize". I think a large reason many suggestions are not implemented is for fear it will ruin the "original" feel to the server as that is something we've always pride ourselves with having. After all, the server name is quite literally Original Skyblock. During an in-game discussion on this topic the other night, multiple people said that the server should be "less vanilla", and indeed the suggestion of adding more skill based, rpg style rewards was made. These types of suggestions and comments lead me to believe that perhaps it is time we stopped worring about being so "original". I'd really like to hear others opinions on this. Would you prefer a less vanilla skyblock experience? I really hope we can come up with a solution to make the server(s) more entertaining for everyone, just as they have been before. I would love to see this decaying community flourish once again in the coming reset. ~Glitch
I love the idea of monthly competitions with categories like most advanced/progress in a month, best machine, best old school vibe, or other random or pre-selected type of categories for players to win or choose when they want to compete. There are times where I'm really involved with my own building, or actually busy irl, but other times I need a break or a distraction from my main build.
As many people wouldn't know, the server is having a lack of players. This is obviously a problem. So if you can replay explaining either why you stopped playing or any changes that which be able to help the server, please replay to this thread with your answers or ideas.
Another idea is having a temporary daily or holiday based challenge system that gives rewards depending on the session, theme, or holiday the challenge is created from. This could add a little difference in the challenge system and give people an incentive to do them.
I actually love the idea, challenges do need updating and a change, i'd like more rewards for all ranks, and them to keep people busy
Oops as well as crates being seasonsal I love seasonal challenges too haha, Love the idea Diamond Knight, I was thinking it'd be good for both!
