Mineplex needs reform

I know for many years no offense Mineplex has been the laughing stock of Minecraft multiplayer for years and I've been thinking for around a month or two about how Mineplex can become a little more popular and can become bigger than it is now. PLEASE DON'T HATE ME FOR THIS!!!

1. Make Developers full time or put more time and quality into their work.
2. Focus on one verision of Minecraft. Part of the reason Mineplex fell behind on java was because they split the development team into 2, one for java and the other for bedrock edition. Both Dev teams need to fix the lag issue then the anti cheat and remove dead dead games.
3. The owners need to shape up I watched many videos on why Mineplex lost the Hypixel-Mineplex war and when it did Mineplex got abusive staff and the owners don't even play much let alone ask what the players want and they're/used to be in it for the money.

4. You can't do much about this problem but sweats. When people join a server for the first time they usually want to see people having fun and not sweating just to see their stats go up and Mineplex is kind of small compared to some other servers so in every game you're most likely going to see a sweat and flawless new players.

 

Yes they need full time developers but i don't think that they are willing to spend money on anything.
They shouldn't focus on 1 version because then the other one would fall behind , and the versions use 2 different programming languages so i don't think it would work.
Yes the owners and the high ups need to shape up . They need to form a better marketing team since this one is useless.
The problem with sweats could be solved by having more players . Then the density of sweats in the games wouldn't be so high. And of course , bringing new players is a job for the marketing team , which they are obviously failing at.

 

I can agree with the one version thing I never said get rid of one.

 

what

 

These threads are made all the time but no one really cares about them; nothing will happen

 

Hey,

I may not be for all of the ideas listed, but I do agree overall the network as a whole needs some sort of reform or revamp. At the moment things seem stale. We need something new to freshen things up here at Mineplex. At the moment it looks like it's on the same cycle it's been on since I joined in 2017. It'll be nice if overall the network had a giant revamp. Of course it'll take a lot of time but other than that it doesn't look like anything will change.

 

Hi good post yes I'm bored I'm basically just replying to every post I see at this point

1. Honestly idk but all I know is SSM is in dire need of an update so honestly if this is what it gonna take for that to happen, then I'm all for it Edit: Ok so I finally figured out what you meant by this. I don't think it's a great idea for devs to be full time. I think that working full time for Mineplex is an awful career choice, even if you're getting paid. So I don't think it's fair to force devs into a full time position when they're better off only working part time AND having another job that has more potential than working for Mineplex.

2. No offense but I think minecraft bedrock is utter trash. I have java and win10 edition. So comparing them side by side, Win10 edition is way clunkier than java and I honestly hate the GUIs and just the way that movement and pvp is. It's awful imo. But for some reason, bedrock is more popular, so Mineplex really can't afford to lose it. But java is more fun to play on so Mineplex is gonna continue with both.

3. Honestly idek what to say about the abusive staff/owner drama. I mean, I kinda think that some of the punishments are stupid, but then again, I'm not the best person to talk about this because I never got a punishment more severe than a warning. I also think that some of the youtube vidoes about this are misleading in some ways and I don't trust everyone that speaks up about staff corruption.

4. I agree, sweats are not fun to play with sometimes. But we cant do anything about it, sweats have just as much right to be here as anyone else. So like we can't get rid of them. But I think the main problem is Mineplex doesn't do a good job of appealing to newer players. So the only players that stay are the ones that are actually really dedicated to the server, but as it turns out, literally every sweat falls into that category. If Mineplex appealed to more people, then there would be more average players that are actually fun to play with instead of only high level sweats.

 

@Brewingcreeper
BRUH... You should try to add more arguments and reasoning next time.
1)Mineplex is likely to lose popularity if it will close the Bedrock server as huge amount of Mineplex's auditory are small kids, playing on their mobile phones or iPads. Mineplex will lose a huge part of their revenue that they get from selling skins, ranks, pets and other stuff for Bedrock players. In addition, two teams means two differently specialized groups of programmers. Yes, they might both know the required programming languages, but to different extent .
2)"Abusive staff" Well, this isn't that easy to deal with. First of all, not all staff members are evil. Second, while it would be good for devs to have level 100 as it would improve their image, it is not their primary task. "Make Developers full time or put more time and quality into their work." So what do you choose? Constantly playing devs or constantly working devs? By the way! I almost forgot about the abusive staff thingie! Perhaps, the best way to deal with them is to report them. They will easily lose their privilege and will be demoted.
3)Good luck with elaborating and showing your reasoning! I'd actually love to see it.
P.S. Have a nice day & stay safe!

 

Wow a staff that doesn't post generic answers but speaks truth, this is rare

 

Speed Builders, Champions, Clans, CTF, Castle Siege, etc.

I'm not sure how all the financials break down, but I can't imagine that they are able to turn enough of a profit from Java to support hiring more developers or dedicate more from their current team. HiveMC has a similar player count and does not profit from their Java server, so they had to completely revamp their infrastructure and remove some of their oldest games. Java servers are much more expensive to run; they claimed it costs the same amount to host 4,000 Java players and 25,000 Bedrock players, so even with lots of subscription donations, I would bet that Mineplex has the same issue.

Hypixel's biggest advantages are simply their player count; would a new player join Mineplex or a server with 50 times as many players? Right, most people would gravitate to the larger server. The owners would need to spend a lot of time, money, and resources to start to breathe life into Java, and from where they stand with the Bedrock server, that wouldn't be a great decision.

 

Mineplex hiring full time developers? Don't be ridiculous, doing that would cost money and mineplex does not spend money. Do you not think the dev team look at youtube videos about the decline of mineplex in an attempt to save it? One easy way to deal with sweats is to add matchmaking based on mineplex level. The reason why this isn't a feature already? It's work, and it probably won't make an instant profit.
