    So with the new update and reset of Skyblock, I thought I'd put in my two cents about the new face of Skyblock.

    Pros-
    -New Influx Of Players (New and Old)
    -For me, a revived feeling toward Skyblock
    -New Plugins

    Cons-
    -Premiums have no specialty to extra perk now
    -OP economy
    -Diamonds in vote (As much as this sounds nice to have, it is gonna drop the economy quite badly in the future. Hopefully, this is a limited time thing as I prefer this doesn't go down like god apples in Factions)

    Suggestions-
    -A donor nether and end
    --> Don't get me wrong, I don't want to segregate members and donors in any way. I just feel like the nether and end would get raided 10x as fast due to the fact we have way more people entering these two regions. In the past, the only donor world was raided fairly quickly and we would have to wander to far to get our needed materials
    -Smaller Islands (151x151)
    --> I doubt the island sixes will change, but it is just a thought. I can imagine insane OP farms
    -An Obby Gen Plugin
    -->Yes, I know that 1.8 patched this. Although, It would be nice to know that we could still possibly have one of these as it is very essential to the essence of Skyblock

    Analysis-
    Now, I love the new face of the server. It shows that we can pick ourselves up from a rough patch in time of the server. The new Skyblock has gotten me to have a new fire burning. That being said, I definitely think that the Nether and End economy is not going a very sufficient business to have. Not to mention, wither drops seem to be a little OP, so beacons will be cheaper. Along with brewing stands and gold, this could very much lead to villagers that could lead to Iron farms off the bat. I also do think that Premiums should get back what they truly deserve, and I feel like it's only fair. I was in a member's view once too, and I admit having the nether was not fun. But, at the same time, Premiums should get their 60$ worth of stuffz. In conclusion, I love the new face of Skyblock. It brings a deeper depth compared to the two previous Skyblocks. With a little bit of improvement, this can be the server THE server to last the longest.

    Editor's Rating: 4/5

    Thank you all,

    I see what you mean by the big island = OP farms. I can imagine @JasonPrimate and his beloved gold farms.

    Well we don't really need obby gens anymore. Nether=Nearly unlimited lava=Nearly unlimited obby. Harder to farm, but at least it's possible. However obby gens would be nice to make this process easier.

    I see what you mean, but its inefficient to go make several trips to the nether to snag obby.

    What is the point in premium rank now? If all players can now go to the nether and end, and the thing with the no hunger loss is now gone, there is no difference between extreme and premium now except the kits. There can be a solution though! Premium should get new perks and commands such as /nick. Agree or disagree? Let me know below? :D

    I have heard multiple rumors that Premium+ will receive more perks do to the loss of /feed and that everybody has access to the End/Nether.

    *due @CycleFire lel. Anyways, I don't think such a massive perk like the Nether and End could be filled.

    Hmm, after reading the OP, I think I'll return to AEM long enough to check out skyblock and decide if it's worth my time. I really hope that the op vote stuff is just a promotional thing, having everyone run around with diamonds kinda ruins the whole experience imo.
