Hey, a couple of months ago I presented an idea to change the way get money in PureSurvival
¿What was that idea?
-Add NPC's with different roles, where players can sell different kinds of things depending on the role of the NPC, for example the butcher, where players can sell different kinds of meat the blacksmith, where they can sell their ores etc..
I made the zone where these buyers could live
https://imgur.com/a/26nLLuT
The place where it would be great to place this zone is the following
https://imgur.com/a/N6LgjtY
This zone would include 6 stores with the following roles: the blacksmith, the butcher, the florist, the fisherman, the farmer and the lumberjack 
I want to clarify something this zone will not replace the market of the spawn, will see a little difference, in the spawn market you can buy things but not sell them in this zone, you can sell things instantly!! 
Maybe some are wondering this question, ¿What about players who have GM1 with tag,could they get infinite money ?
-Well let me tell you that NPC's are not going to accept things from GM1
https://imgur.com/a/NQ6Mg6r
The players of PureSurvival months ago were requesting this let is wait for @brunyman to give us your answer 🤗
Your suggestions and opinions are welcome support this post thank much!!
Have a nice day!!

Hi, I could not agree more
Not only in GTNH server they have this problem in Network we go through the same mainly in PureSurvival
The permission of the creative ruins a survival it is very frustrating to be playing a survival progressing little by little and that the players with this permission take everything of the creative, as well as the creative opens the doors to endless abuses
Sorry for my english

It is true, but you weren not building for yourself, you were building for two other players who don not have permission (Creative)
You made farms for the players with mob egg taken from the creative (they had the spawn by KSV_Hunter) after a few seconds you broke all the farms
I explained to you at that moment what you did 
[8] No PvPing with creative or spawned items:
1st offense = 1 day ban 2nd offense = 2 day ban 3rd offense = 4 days ban 4th offense = 12 days ban This includes any special permission that may have been given by Sponsor command requesting. If you abuse Sponsor commands then you will lose all requested commands and the ability to request more commands. Flying while pvp is a 15 minute jail as a 1st offense, the following this rules' offenses
Using the creative permission to benefit other players is an abuse of the permission granted by the Premium+ rank
for the next Unban Requests you must follow the following template:
 

As some of you already know, this morning one dedicated server had issues. Minecraft servers affected are FTB StoneBlock2, FTB SkyAdventures, Network AssassinS and Creative servers. We got this server less then 1 year ago when intel gen 9 processors were finally available, we actually got 5 such dedicated servers at the beginning of this year and unfortunately we had issues with 3 of them during this time, we changed sata cables and hard drives as 2 servers were time to time having HDD failures and degraded raid arrays, to replace burned power supply and even the entire server except for the hard drives. So a lot of lost hours and headache.
As we think of upgrading our servers usually at the end-beginning or a new year to plan our expenses for the new year it is obviously that these intel gen9 servers have a lot of issues, mainly I think the issues were caused by the motherboards chipset/controllers at least for the raid issues, so the plan is to upgrade to new servers this time running ryzen, gen3 is available for now in datacenters, we already tested one for the last 4 months and even if the single thread performance is a bit lower, multithreaded is way better then intel and we also had 0 issues so far, where on intel just 1-2 months after we got them crashes started to randomly happen. Another big performance improvement par of the upgrade plan is to move on from HDD to fast NVME SSD's, we will have a bit less room for backups but the plan is to build a NAS server and download all backup directly from the servers and keep them all offsite in case if an entire server is lost and cannot recover data we have backups on our NAS to restore from with max few hours lost of data, we will also use these backups for rollbacks.
Almost 2 months ago I requested cancelation of 2 dedicated servers, both had repetitive issues with raid arrays where the second drives fails and the raid enters a degraded state, we then reboot into rescue mode, fix partition errors and rebuild the array and then few days or 1 month later it fails again and so on. The drives SMART data show no issues. So we first requested to cancel these 2 contracts where issues are active and based on contract terms the cancelation is after 4 weeks. This week I ordered our first new dedicated server on new specs with Centos 8 and NVME SSD's, got it setup and this morning after we got GT server finally released I planned to move everything from the SA/SB host to the new machine as the contract ends tonight. But when I woke up SA and SB servers were down and crashing on startup with weird read permissions errors, then I checked AssassinS was also in the same crash state and even system commands were not working so I did a system reboot thinking that maybe the OS got bugged. After the reboot everything was working fine so I started to transfer data to the new server. While the files were coping to the new server I noticed that some configs I had setup before I went to bed were back to the original state and then I noticed that the files dates were 1 month ago, I checked backups and all backups from this month were missing. The Raid array was already into a degraded state with the second drive out of sync, and this failure happened 1 month ago so it was clear that somehow the system was loading the drive that was out of sync and not in the raid array anymore. This is so weird, I spent 8 hours to try to get access on the good data partition to copy my up to date backups but it just failed to recognize the parition on the first drive, like something badly corrupted at the base of the file system.
root@grml /home # cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1] [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md126 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sda2[0]
524224 blocks super 1.0 [2/1] [U_]
bitmap: 1/1 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk
md127 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdb4[1]
1944467456 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [_U]
bitmap: 15/15 pages [60KB], 65536KB chunk
I also contacted the datacenter technicians and when they saw the above data, they were like we never saw anything like this we will get a senior technician here to see if they had experienced something like this before to try to fix it. But after I spent 8 h tring to get that drive data out I sure that we can't get anything restored. So all that is left was to use my last resort monthly backps to restore something and that was downloaded on 8 November. So we lost 19 days of data
In order to prevent this in the future we will build our own NAS server so all backups from all machines are saved directly there this way if something like this is ever to happen again we will have max few hours of lost data. We will also continue to replace all existing servers in the next months and upgrade to fast NVME SSD's. 
Now all the servers except for Nework Creative are back online and running on the new server. The creative server was updated recently to 1.16.4 and this incident lost all that work so we will have to again update it to 1.16.4. The AssassinS server was pending a WIPE as it also needs to be updated to 1.16.4 and we will do so next week.
I'm very sorry for this loss, for SkyAadventure and StoneBlock 2 servers we will do our best to refund affected players with items, in-game money and rank re-activations to cover the loss.
We created a free compensation package for SkyAdventure and StonBlock2 servers on DailyRewards category on our store, you can only claim this reward once and it will give you in-game money and crate keys, check the links below

Hello
Speaking of new players, why not add a super basic kit for newcomers?
op players take advantage of new players as they have nothing to start with.
Another topic that i would like to touch on (Spawn Camping) i was seeing some suggestions made by a fellow staff
Suggestion 1 seems great to me as well as Suggestions 2 in general they are all very good.
Have a nice day!!

Hello
Suggestion 1
Currently in (Pure Survival) there are ranks with access to GM1 my suggestion is to remove this permission, it does not make sense that this permission exists on a survival server, it is also harmful to the server and we all know the problems it causes. it is also frustrating for players who play survival they get things with sacrifice and a player with this permission gets everything from GM1 and the truth takes away their desire to play.
Suggestion 2
Another option is to create a type of (PureCreative) exclusively for players with this permission. i know we have a creative server but it is not the same to play in plots than to play in a world with natural generation or to change the creative server to do it with a normal world without plots, this is for construction lovers.
It is time to make a change, it is you, the sponsors and premium+, who must make this decision together with Bruny, this does not mean that others cannot give their opinions, suggestions are welcome.
Other ideas
(Idea 1)
Currently in Pure to be able to sleep at night all players must do it and this is a problem sometimes due to certain circumstances a player cannot do it because they do not have a bed or for other reasons.
my idea is to add a plugin that allows 50% of the connected players (to be able to sleep to do the day).
(Idea 2)
Change the method of obtaining money in Pure, is currently obtained by selling emeralds
adding a bit of NPc in the spawn in which we could sell crops, minerals and woods etc... each one with its respective image with this we will give more use to the crop farms and other farms, much more funnn.
Leave your opinion!!
Thank much

Hi,my idea is to add the NPCs when bruny decides to remove the GM1 from pure survival, the duplication problem was fixed.
right now in pure the sponsors and premium+ can have infinite money, clearly abusing the GM1.
@xByrad i thought they would say that and  why i suggested making an exclusive world or change creative, they will not lose permission rather move it and in pure they will continue to have /fly.
I don not see any sense to this advantage but hey, it came to mind why not add warp as in (AC) that there is warp Vip,Premium,Sponsor what do they think?
it would be possible to add armors with prote 5 clearly with a fair price among other things!!
Thank much for your opinions and suggestions.

Commands Added

Heyyy thank you again for your words. This kind of community posts help a lot and its an amazing way of being heard. The other day we had a talk with @brunyman in order to address some issues you are talking here, I hope he reads this too.
 
About PS, WorldEdit being able to destroy claimed regions issue has been fixed and the fixed version will be added when we update to 1.16
 
About other topics I think I agree with almost all of them. About creative it is a hard topic because many people payed for that so its hard to change that but Im not the one who could make a decision about it (I agree that something called PURE Survival doesnt have sense to have creative, and also economy in PS is useless). Just as a reminder to higher ups, we had this post: 
 
And about bugs, well we have a list I made with a lot of found bugs which I wont share the number because it is sad but in my case I will do my best to do what I can to fix them (I cant do much but yes offer some help, for example I fixed a loooot of bugs related with the protection plugin in PS which hasnt been updated yet because of what I said before) and well I know that higher ups will try to give Network a little bit more attention.
 
Thank you again for taking your awesome time on writing this, people's opinion is always welcome!

Time for another Post, has been a while since the last one!
 
First of all, I want to thank the whole Network team for working on Assassins Craft! A lot of things have been fixed and a lot of new cool things like Glaskerville and Items got added, which i really appreciate.
 
Same as last time, this post should be meant as a positive critique and I'm writing it because I care about the server and don’t want it to die or decrease even more.
 
I will Cut this post into several parts, in which I talk about the server in general and then about some specific game modes.

Things affecting the server in General
 
Playercount
 
As we all know, since some years now the player count on network has decreased a lot, this perhaps affected by the popularity of Minecraft itself or also the server. There are number of possible ways with which we could try to bring back more players to the server, which i will list below:
 
Advertising the server
 
You could advertise the server by maybe partnering up with for example a discord of some sort so you advertise their discord and they advertise Network.
Also you could try to bring content creators to the server, like it happened some years ago with Youtubers like Inachete and Hiipo, which got a lot of views and brought a part of their community onto the server.

Another way of advertising it is also social media platforms, for example on reddit or twitter where you can advertise the server and get new players interested in it.
 
Downgrading to 1.8
 
1.8 is much more stable on both servers and computers and also has a better combat system than the current 1.15. A lot of players also still play on 1.8 for that reason and a lot of servers support that version too. The downgrade doesn’t need to be on the whole server, so modes like pure survival can keep getting updates like the new nether update. The server hub should be 1.8 to 1.16 and there you need to get either 1.8 for pvp modes or 1.16 for survival/creative gamemodes, as it was some time ago with 1.12/1.10/1.8.
 
Frequent events/updates
 
Instead of focusing on just one gamemode, make updates for the most played ones more often, they don't need to be big, it can be just small additions that will make players want to play and check out the update.

Also why not make community events, where players compete or have to do something for a small prize (like ingame money)?

 
Fixing bugs/plugins
 
There are still some bugs that make the game a bit annoying and that are quite easy to fix for someone with a bit of knowledge about the plugins. 
Also I made the suggestion for a Skin plugin for cracked accounts some time ago (its called SkinsRestorer i think), why not add this? It's updated to the newest version and would give players more personality unlike now where all cracked players have to use the default steve skin.
 
Things regarding Assassins Craft
 
Gameplay
 
Since the last post I’ve made a lot of bugs got fixed and some new stuff got added, but still there are some annoying things like bugs or unbalanced items, which can make the game a bit annoying or unfair.
 
Another thing is the skill gap between players that play actively and have good gear and newcomers that are not very familiar with the server and usually get killfarmed by better players. In my opinion it is too easy to farm gold and get to a high level in a short time.
To make that skill gap smaller following things could be done:
 
Reset
 
Resetting the entire Assassins Craft mode for every player would bring all players down to the same level, so new players also have a chance to fight against these or to go loot chests without the fear of getting followed or directly killed off spawn
 
Decrease Loot
 
To make better gear harder to get, chests should either have less gold / weapons in them or gear like armor or weapons should be more expensive in the shops.
Another idea is to make loot more random, so there isn’t a 100% chance for at least 3 gold to spawn in a specific dungeon but that there is also the chance to get none or just some iron. For players that know every dungeon it's easy to get around 64 gold in under an hour (assuming you have fly from sponsor rank, more later).
 
Unfair Items / Abilities
 
Some items and other things are really unbalanced, like playing against these in a fight is really annoying or unfair. To make them more balanced they should get made weaker, so you have more chance to fight against them but that they aren’t useless.
 
Sniper Rifle / Musket
 
Both the Musket and Sniper can be found in some dungeons quite easily and they are really strong in ranged fights. The problem with them is that they are:
too common to find in dungeons
hitscan, so the bullet instantly hits there where you are aiming with the crosshair
ignoring enchantments on armor and do the same damage like they do on unenchanted armor
making too much damage in general, even the default sniper without any extra perks like + damage or poison can instantly kill a armored player with a headshot
 
To make them more balanced, you could
make them more rare in dungeons or take them out completely so they are only available in the market
give them bullet travel and dropoff, so the shot takes some time until it hits a ranged target
make them detect enchantments like protection or projectile protection and reduce damage depending on this
reduce base and headshot damage, so a full enchanted diamond player doesn’t die from 2 headshots
disable double rifle which can be used by having a rifle in each hand and swap to the other after shooting with the first one.
 
Anti Knockback Shield
 
The shield does what a hacking client with andi Knockback and Blockhitting does for you, it blocks damage from incoming attacks and also makes you resistant to any knockback an enemy would give you normally. Just think about it for a second and imagine fighting against something like this as a normal player. Overpowered right?
The shields abilities could also be reduced and balanced by changing following things:
Reduce the anti knockback 10 enchantment to like 5, so it blocks 50% of the knockback but not all.
Give it a cooldown of some seconds until it can be used again after a certain amount of hits on it.


 
/Fly for sponsors
 
Just think about making a game mode focused on parkour (at least a big part) and then give players the ability to fly through the parkour to the end and get the loot that is there. Sounds pretty boring because it requires absolutely no parkour skill and is unfair to players without the permissions at the same time. Makes it pretty much pay to win, as I said somewhere above with fly you can get a stack of gold in less than an hour, while free players need to do every parkour without fly and have a higher risk of dying by falling into a trap or lava and take much longer to get the same amount of gold.
Removing fly completely would be fair to every player that hasn’t paid 50€ just to upgrade their stuff faster. Also it would remove the ability to pvp while flying completely.
 
Things regarding other gamemodes
 
Pure Survival
 
Creative Mode

It’s a SURVIVAL server, so why is there a creative mode? There is also a Creative server meant for creative building, and I think having creative mode gives an unfair advantage, you don’t have any challenge achieving something compared to players that don’t have a sponsor rank and have to do all their things in normal survival. Also creative brings exploits like doing PVP with creative generated Items. Yes, its written in the rules that its not allowed, but not everyone doing it can get caught and not every player knows that their enemy is using generated items that took no effort to make.
 
World Edit

I think Worldedit is a great tool, but it should rather be something for the Creative since it also gives unfair advantages, bypasses claims, like you can delete someones house which is claimed and also blocks generated with World Edit don’t have a Creative tag, so you can mine them as a survival player and make whatever you want with them. This ruins the economy when someone can create stacks of diamond blocks and give them to others or sell them in the market. 
 
Nether Update

The server got 1.16 compatible some time ago and we still can’t use the new Netherite items or go into the new nether biomes. Updating the server completely to at least 1.16 or higher and removing 1.15 support could allow you to enable these things which would be really cool and also would make players come back to the server to try out these new things.

1.8 downgrade

Yes, this was talked about multiple times, but we still got no real answer to why id doesn’t get done. The server has no players currently, so why don’t you give it a try and    put it back to 1.8? In that version it had the most players since there was the old PVP system and also the chat still worked. There is nothing to lose, since the lobby server can just be 1.8 up to 1.16 compatible, and in there you can choose between the different servers that just require different minecraft versions.
 
Advertise this gamemode

There are not many minecraft servers having a gamemode like this. The only one that I can think about is Hypixel, which usually has a lot of lag and doesn’t have a good anticheat. So why not use this as an advantage to get players that like the concept of Capture the wool and don’t want a lot of lag? Use sites like reddit that have categories where you can promote a minecraft server.
 
That was a lot of writing, hope it was worth it.
Thanks to everyone taking his time to read this, if you want feel free to comment your own ideas or give feedback.
And yes, the formatting is weird since I made it in google docs and the website doesn't seem to like that xD.
