It's old but gold. If it could help you out we've probably chucked it in here.

What do YOU want out of Escapecraft?

Post by SneakyPie » 28 Feb 2011, 13:53

Escapecraft owes a lot of its success to you, the players. With that in mind, I would like to take this time to open up an open thread where you all can discuss what you like and what you don't like about Escapecraft and what kind of direction you would like to see us take. You will not get into trouble for announcing your concerns and ideas, but be warned if you actually verbally attack someone, proper disciplinary action will occur.

This is about the server/forums on the whole, not about individual persons. I will however allow server-related personal queries about myself here. I guess if there was question being asked it would be "How are we doing?"

This is an effort to make the community on the whole more accessible and to try and accommodate our various users.

So please, let us know what you would like to see in the future as well as any present concerns you have.

That Lord Mountbatten guy sure is a piece of work.

At the moment all I think is that, despite the rest it brings, we'll want to make sure we don't leave the update too late.

All I want from the server is maybe to update, which lord already said was not going to be put on hold. But It is great the way it is too, you guys are doing an awesome job.

I'd quite like the ability to add in game aliases, as no-one can pronounce my name...

Big group projects - As Vallorn said

More community things, similar to the Shindig and Fireside.

Oh and, In agreeance with a user above, that Mountbatten is a nasty piece of work >=D

i think the server needs something that will make you want to log on everyday, like maybe raffles? treasure in random caves? games? or at least something to make each day a different experience.

Maybe we can extend the border of Escapia, so that more new things can spawn, such as more glowstone, or more birch trees, 'cause SOMEONE keeps hunting down all the limited resources....

>_> ------- *Furdabip*

Nah just kidding, but seriously, maybe the mods and higher ranks can make something HUGE that the entire server can enjoy, and not make it extremely far away from spawn, like the Hourglass. (You should cuboid it, obviously.)
And maybe, players that plays on this server regularly can help out too with other Mod projects! Even, if, you guys are already doing that.

Glowstone is only found in the Nether, there's plenty of it still there if you don't mind climbing.

The server is fantastic, and I rarely hear about griefers griefing. Eventually they'll be mythological to the server which is wonderful. ( again, I'd like to aid the cause ;) )

So cheers! and good luck with future updates!

Oh, I have a thing I'm looking forward to for the update...

More Trees... People build these HUGE societies without consideration of their natural resources; so it saddens me as a virtal elf to see so many trees gone and lands so flat and ravished.

So I hope this upcoming update people will be more considerate of their enviorments.

Experimenting and possibly implementing new plugins. I have no specific ones in mind but every time one is added to the server such as cauldrons, it's like a present from the mods to the users.

Are those bugs with furnaces eating more coal than they should still around?
If so, maybe a plug-in that makes furnaces more like workbenches, with a direct exchange of materials, without the timer...
