Minecraft Name: Maco20047 Suggestion: To introduce more minigames on ECC. Reason: Recently, I have done a little quest to find out what makes Minecraft Servers successful. Though I understand that EcoCityCraft is successful the way it is, I feel there is something we can add. On this little quest of mine, I have discovered that servers with minigames are extremely successful. They usually have thousands of players on at a time, and usually about 75% or more are playing the minigames. Before yelling at me saying "ECC is an economy server," yes, I know. That's why I started to play on ECC some 10 months ago. I feel that adding in more minigames, other than SG, would be of huge benefit to ECC. How so, you may ask: 1) Probably the best thing, it would bring in more users to ECC. 2) Introduce kits for each minigame -> More money to help keep the server running, and help pay for extras for the server. 3) Provide for a more diverse "gaming" experience for the server. It seems to me that the top 10 most popular minigames on Minecraft are: 1) Survival Games 2) Kit PvP 3) The Walls 4) Skywars 5) Skyblock 6) Spleef 7) Hide n' Seek 8) Paintball 9) Cops n' Robbers 10) Parkour Out of these 10 popular Minecraft Minigames, ECC only has 1. Again, I know this is an Economy Server, and not a minigames server, but why can't we try and combine both? I know Andrew is already working on some things for the future, but I think it would be cool to have an "EcoCityCraftGames" section where users can make money from games, outside of the normal SG. (As you know, many people don't play SG because of the kits) Some of these games wouldn't have kits that make the game OP (Hide n' Seek for example: Kit? Give you the option of another block to use, no more). I'm sure there is some way to be able to incorporate the Economy into the games without making them so rewarding that they mess up the economy. For The Walls, Skywars, Kit PvP, Paintball, Hide n' Seek, they could all just use the already used SG reward system. $100 per kill, with a winning total based on the number of player. This would make it to where you don't need to do a lot of new computing, and pretty much just toss it in there (I know it would actually be harder than this). Any Other Information: I hope you all take this seriously, and please don't flame my suggestion. I probably already know everything you will try to say negative about the suggestion. Link To This Plugin: N/A, though I could get plugin links for all the different game types. http://tinyurl.com/ECCgames
Andrew has said he is going to be adding some sort of sky block game. Other than that, I think all the other games would make ECC to much of a mini game server. The only thing I would be for is paintball. Add a few cute little kits, playing with some friends would be a great time :d These kits cannot be even close to how OP sg kits are. Something like paintball needs to be fair or it won't be fun in the slightest bit.
Myself personally, I love these games with an economic impact. It will bring a wider array of users to ECC. But, there are many reasons as to why this won't be added. One is due to the lag that it could inflict on the server as a whole. Also, andrew is already adding skyblock (to my knowledge), and said that there would be no more mini-games. I'm going to have to -1 this.
would these mini games affect the economy? they are always looking for ways to remove from the economy not add. however i think this would be interesting
This wont really "add to the economy" per se, but rather give users more options to make money. It probably won't be added, I just thought it would be a fun thing to suggest.
I think any games added should be games that can be individually played, without having to be put onto a team.
I think the mini-games you listed all are fairly fun games. The most interesting suggestions were probably The Walls, Cops and Robbers, and Paintball (in no particular order). These three usually revolve around a team which doesn't really exist yet on the server yet. People in Survival Games will ask to "team up" so I think having a team based mini-game would be appealing for a lot of current and new users. We don't have to completely diversify and create a new mini-game (though that would be nice), but rather just add options to current ones. Maybe a Team Survival Games or PVP arena, where people can set up tournaments and such. I hope we do get some new/modified mini-games soon!
If we were to make kit pvp it would have to be soup or health pots. That type of pvp requires skill, at least the potion one...
In all honesty, it's fairly balanced. You can make this amount of money in the same time frame doing mining or farming. Plus survival games isn't as consistent as those two methods of earning money. It's a very high risk, high reward type of mini-game (if we're talking about methods of making money). You need to win otherwise it doesn't matter in the end. You can make a few hundred ECD in a game that takes you up to 30 minutes or few thousand in a 10 minute game.
