Avicus - Changes and Continuities Over Time by MLGtino May 7, 2017 at 1:05 AM UTC

Because it's important.

So very simple question. Over the past 1 year on Avicus, what has changed, and what has stayed the same? Just name some things, how they happened, what they caused (or didn't), what failed, what succeeded, why these things happened. 

(This post will likely be ignored but it's more important than you think)

I have recently been put in charge of the social media team where we have gone from no leadership to a point by point plan to revive the team and add new features so we are able to market the server better and hopefully in the new feature focus on bringing player counts up.

  • CTF, KoTH/CP and DTC were added
  • CTW, TDM and Nexus were removed and added back soon after.
  • Frenzy and SkyWars were added and removed soon after.
  • CTH, Walls and SG were removed.

  • Staff teams have changed a lot.
  • New communication server has appeared.
  • New game engine was developed.
  • A lot of new maps were added.
  • Prestiges are back.

  • Average maximum players count has dropped.
  • Support of new versions was added with bugs and lags.
  • A lot of old nice maps were removed or even deleted forever.

But some things don't change:
  • Avicus is still 1.8+
  • Arcade is still coming Soon™
Arcade is still coming Soon™
