    Hey guys and girls,

    i really didn't want to have to type this up but im getting concerned about the lack of staff on skyblock during the times i play, night for me day for others.

    there seems to be a massive time where not one staff member will be on skyblock for weeks now when i come on threw my day time i see staff on, threw my night all the way to am there is no staff on, sometimes i will see one pop on and will afk or leave within a few min, there are people needing help all the time, my self, hwan and most other ranks will always try our best to help them, other times it will be just my self helping as much as possible but the issue is that there is always drama and rule breaking and abuse and its always a pain to scatter to other servers to try find staff to help and even then they come help then leave and recently from my understanding a staff member was placed for the odd hours and such but they are never on for more then 3 hours and is always going to other servers i have people contently pming me for help or asking me where the staff are and im more then happy to help them but in the long run issues come up for staff only and im left feeling useless because there is no one on to help.

    the other night i had someone needing staff so bad he ended up rage quitting the server because no one was there to help them, i have also heard many people talking about how bad it is and just leave and that's the saddest bit of all, losing new players over this issue.

    so im asking you please get staff back on skyblock during the 7-12 hours of dead zone or make someone staff who can be on at this time i honestly would apply as im on but there are no staff application's possible right now, and before you all think im saying this just to be made staff i honestly don't care if its me or anyone else who is deserving enough of the position i just want staff back on when the people need them as i can only help to a point and i feel bad when people leave or upset cos noone can help them.

    i don't care if everyone hates me for doing this but something needs to be done asap

    thank you for your time if you are reading this.
    Twisted.

    You and me both Brothar, but its all good. WE just have to handle what we can handle. I understand there arn't that many Mod's / Admin's online. Alex will have to demote/promote new people that are dedicated full Skyblock players. I've seen at most 30m-1h a Mod will be online. I've seen taking massive screenshots with time stamps, when someone needs to see them *Cough alex* haha

    You are right about the rage quiters, that is why I've hosted the VIP Raffle Ticket, and been telling people about it, So we can get more people on skyblock, yesterday was all time lowest I've seen skyblock. 4-5 people on. Yes they did get free things like Eggs, Redstone, etc from me. and I wanted nothing in return but more activeness.

    Again we can only do so much, and for those players that are stingy and say "You have to be Mod" "I don't need your help" and it'll be a problem like Lava turnt to Obby. Still want a Mod's help.

    I also get mass PM's when I login till the time I log-off. I do not mind it though. Seeing people ask me for help makes me feel good. =))
    I even purchased Skylord so others will at least see me and be like okay, hes high rank. He can help me. >< Sometimes I do not understand how people think. But its alllll Good.


    We just have to do what we can.. I'm sure Alex <3 sexy body. Is on it.

    Volk its not matter of being on different Server. There are no more dedicated SkyBlockers. If Me and Twisted do not go over to Skyblock to inform you guys, then they will just quit.

    Example. "I need mod's help"

    Me & Twisted, "Go find one"

    Person, "Fuck this I'm out"

    Over time that will decrease the activity of Skyblock due to others reading.

    Instead me and twisted do go out our way to uplift the skyblocks problems. =)) we love it.

    Again though overtime this can be frustrating. Not being able to build etc due to mass PMs =))


    We are going out of the way to go Find you guys, when there should be 100% Skyblockers. You rarely see me on different servers, I'm 100 SKyblock baby.

    =)) You say go to diff server find mod. Thats an Unnecessary action if ther was a skyblock mod.

    You have to realize it is hard for one of the staff members to be on the server at all times but I do get what you mean. Staff will be more active once school and finals are over for some of us, including me. :3 Also if anyone ever needs to, just do /report. The message will go to all of the staff who are online on the network and they could come help if needed.

    I agree with Twisted. I often help new players because Staff members are either offline or AFK. But just like what Twisted said, a lot of the issues we can't help with.

    Sometimes it is necessary for staff to be AFK. We need to check ban appeals, reports, etc. So a lot of the times when staff is AFK we are actually doing our job.

    Like I have said, mainly the reason for staff inactivity lately is because most, if not all, of the staff have been busy with school. I realize this can be really frustrating for you guys but please bear with us. :3

    Actually admins do not show up in list when they are in /v. Everyone is free to help others, just to a certain limit. Clearly non staff members cannot help with some island issues and that is why you have the option to post things on the forums if no one is on to help. ^-^
