I'm just going to make to get straight to the point. More minigames to keep players from getting bored of the usual: (Farming, mining, building, etc). My suggestion is to add more minigames to the server. I know there's already SG, but SG is mostly filled with people that have kits and run trains over newer people that just started the server and were told that SG was a good way to make money. I would suggest these games for PVP: 1v1/2v2/3v3 Arena, KitPVP and MobArena for PVE. Arena games you could allow players to wager ECD against each other or gain ECD by winning against other players. For KitPVP you could have a rank up systen where people would have to earn $ inside of the minigame. You could use this money to rank up and get better kits or you could withdraw it to ECD (please don't let people deposit money into the game, donation kits would be possible if you guys would like it). For MobArena it would work like KitPVP but instead of fighting other players you would team up with players and fight mobs. The mobs would get some money which could be spent on gear/kits/stats whatever you guys decide. You could add /warp pvp but I don't think there's a big enough player base/people with good gear for it to be active.
Isn't this the same quote you have been using for the last 2 or 3 years? Do you just copy and paste it? jk... I appreciate all you have done for the server and the items you have accomplished - this is just not one of them.
