I have seen many servers die in the past few years, and not just to Minecraft dying in general, but the servers had fault to their downfall as well. I see TMD going head first into the same direction as the others. The vast majority of servers that I see die are not noob-friendly, but quite the opposite; they are heavily biased towards the much older and more experienced players. New players will normally stick around if they see that they can do well and have a good time in the game, but if they see that they keep doing bad and dying and raging constantly, they will quit and never return. Just like the servers that I have seen fall, TMD has that one large component of the problem written all over it, as Lateralization has stated in this thread. Continuing the current system is hopeless for TMD, eventually leaving TMD to wither away and eventually completely collapse, which as a 4-5 year old member of this server, would completely hate to see happen despite my constant nagging and complaining about how bad the server is. Most of it is because I'm still salty that TMD changed as much as it did. If Lateralization's idea of the new PvP system is true, then TMD would lose its bias towards experienced players and newer players and become completely equal. Newer players would be able to win or at least have a fun time with a close fight with players instead of constant death and rage, making them leave and never come back. If a new player gets hooked on the gameplay, then they would more than likely stay. This boosts HavocMC as a whole, both popularity wise and economically wise. In other past experiences with other servers, a player will join a server if they see that it is popular. The more players the better for Havoc. It also means more chances of those players buying something off of HavocMC's store, boosting it economically making room for positive improvements and making it a bigger server in general. The new PvP system sounds very promising to me if it really does have what Lateralization says it would have. I would like to see this idea take place and see where it does take Havoc. I see mainly positive things from this PvP update, but having a old TMD mechanic server would make Havoc like it was when there was a bunch of normal TMDs and one OPTMD, which was around the time TMD started falling apart even more. It's either change it or don't in my opinion. So Havoc community, what is your reasoning behind your opinions? I'm curious now.
