Why are people leaving? by Zegita September 15, 2015 at 8:09 PM UTC

I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything but it's sad to see people go like so MANY people have gone this year and I know why either due to lack of interest, busy at school, can't be bothered etc. But it makes me sad because Avicus has had so many good people go and like I don't know where Avicus will be...

If anything, I'm probably worried about what will happen to Avicus seeing as basically everyone(not literally) are going. I guess I'm sad :(
I love this server too much but it's ironic due to my infractions xD. I guess I've just stuck around since mid 2013 and I don't want people to leave :/

They are leaving because every god damn person on avicus is 1-20 years old and have to move on from a block game. Other reasons are leaving because its affecting school and their grades. Most of the kids stay :D























Kids will take over minecraft

This is probably the case for most people, but in my case, I'd LOVE to come on here more often than I do, but school just started (like Rilo mentioned) and I definitely don't want to be as... negligent as I've been in previous years. That, and I recently downloaded another game that I'm having WAY too much fun with :P

lactify September 15, 2015 at 10:09 PM UTC

You have to move on y'know. Everyone will eventually get bored of the game. Others reasons can be due  to IRL things.

vladthegreat100 September 15, 2015 at 10:09 PM UTC

Because they want/need to leave. People will leave from places/life and ya gotta live with it. It's life.

mr_penguin_12 September 15, 2015 at 10:09 PM UTC

I guess your stay at avicus is just a phase in your life, eventually you have to move on..

BourbonBonobo September 15, 2015 at 11:09 PM UTC

I just got bored of DTM, The same people, and No one played CTH like all the time (my favorite game mode). Plus Zegita, Your point about school makes a big impact on life.. I do so much outside stuff.. I can never be on the server anymore anyways. Don't worry though, good people leave, and more come back in. At least that's what i've experienced :).

Why are you verbally attacking me? Because I don't seem as smart as others I get told to "Shut the fuck up"

I'm not attacking you. Ever since your post got locked (which should have been locked according to the rules), you've been trolling on the forums. Just stop.

ParthDarthVader September 16, 2015 at 1:09 AM UTC

Once you hit high school...you won't be on very long if at all
College...forget about it

Just saying...but life has more to offer than a server for a block game.

SnowSX3 September 16, 2015 at 2:09 AM UTC

People come, People go.
It's life.

DaGoldBrick September 16, 2015 at 7:09 AM UTC

Cos the server is falling to shit and people on the forums are like "its k guys w8 for the fkn amazing changes that jozz and kylo make so we can peak more than 10 players"

DaFrozenBlaze September 16, 2015 at 7:09 AM UTC

Life carries on, it won't get stopped by a block game. And what he said ^^^

Petlas September 16, 2015 at 9:09 AM UTC

Mind you, my life became a whole lot more optimistic when I decreased the amount of time I played on the server by a shitload. I don't know what triggered, honestly. Nothing tragic ever happened from my experience on here :p.

SnowSX3 has summed it up perfectly in 6 words, the important thing is we all have fun on this server while we still enjoy it and do our little bit to keep the community thriving.

Reasons why I love you

Zegita September 16, 2015 at 2:09 PM UTC

I understand I mean I'm in my final year at secondary school but you see I've had minecraft for 4 years so that's basically since Year 7(Grade 6), and I have experienced good and bad things on servers etc and I have had probably a great time just playing Minecraft - but obviously I do other things outside of school Minecraft is just a hobby, and the amount of people that I've met is ridiculous. My dad always says to me you have to life with life son, it's just the way it is and although it can make me sad in a way it is the truth and sometimes the truth hurts but you have to accept it.

Anyway before I go onto a sob story, sr mods if you are reading this, I know you're trying your best with the server but you have to show it to us, make a change! Bring this server back like it did in 2013 when it was at its prime! :).





Or else everyone is just gonna go OCN :P

Possibly.

Most of the people who've left probably just got fed up with the idiots on the server. Some of the rules are pretty stupid and as people have said there's a lot of immature people on the server now. Kinda off-putting.

I already stopped playing Minecraft as a hobby. I only play it once in a while, and most of the time I just go on to talk to people. =P

Edit: Some of the players I know left because they don't like the changes being made to the server, myself included. A server is only as good as its content, and if the content is awful then there's no point in playing. =(

It's sad, but it's the truth. Life goes on, and those who do not follow the flow of time are left in the past, while others move on to the future,

Itsameekizzii September 28, 2015 at 6:09 PM UTC

because they have to do things in their life that makes them busy.

Not true.
There're many reasons for why people leave.

You've just mentioned one of them but it's no the main one.

Myworld6 September 29, 2015 at 6:09 PM UTC

I also mentioned stupid rules and immature kids who think that if they fall off a bridge or get killed by someone it's, "hax."

BelgiumWaffles September 29, 2015 at 6:09 PM UTC

the server changed to much for me to the point that i dont want toplay anymore.

NolanDalton September 29, 2015 at 7:09 PM UTC

Because of how repetitive Minecraft is in general, maybe it was more entertaining back in the days of survival servers but minigame servers like Avicus and OCN can definitely get more repetitive easier, especially now that there's significantly less players on.

Even moderating is repetitive, it may seem cool to hold a staff position and be able to ban hackers, but it gets annoying easily. It's no wonder why most staff who pass their junior mod trial don't even last more than 3 months, it's too much, and the impending risk of fucking up and getting demoted is also a factor. 

Sorry, but Avicus is doomed and there's nothing we or the staff team can do about it, maybe we lasted longer than TNT's thread said a while ago (Spring 2015) but no matter who our admins are or how many developers we have it doesn't matter. When the omega update came out earlier this year I thought it would save Avicus, simply because of how good of an update it was, I thought the quality of the server went way up. But did our player count increase? No, it went down, and is still falling. It's been a good run guys, but I doubt we'll still be here by the time this school year ends in May.

Mehrp September 29, 2015 at 8:09 PM UTC

I agree with Nolan here. Minecraft does get repetitive and I am finding things a little boring now :/  I can easily see how people would quit, although I don't plan on leaving mc too soon

Myworld6 September 30, 2015 at 6:09 AM UTC

I remember Avicus in 2013. One of the server's best years, in my opinion.

While I agree with a lot of the things that NolanDalton said, I don't think it's the game that gets boring. When I started playing Minecraft a few years back, I played almost every day. But as I got older, I began to realise that Minecraft just didn't interest me anymore.

It's not the game that's boring, it's the perception of the player that makes it seem boring.

it's annoying, yes! :p

AtditC October 2, 2015 at 8:10 AM UTC

Maybe it's because...uhm... BLOCK LAG. If I'd have one wish for Avicus, it'd be fix block lag.

DonaldMyTrump October 2, 2015 at 11:10 AM UTC

^ tbh we can go around diagnosing the reason for the drop as being due to: staff, the tournament, the community. If we're honest with ourselves, the game-play OCN provides is much better due to a competitive environment, better maps, less lag, better hit detection and less bugs. The simple answer is most commonly the right one, people don't find the server or the games fun anymore.
