...also as a test of whether minecraft servers can be run better if you just communicate with your player base about issues that might be occurring. (the answer is a resounding yes. for the record.) <- shocking but true: telling players the issue of why a certain otherwise fun item might be removed makes players suddenly a lot more understanding of why that item is removed. instead of silence & leaving players to guess why it was removed. (though i admit i wasnt perfect on this front either, i gave up on documentation of these changes at some point because i was so worn out that keeping tabs on everything to that extent was just so much.)

and finally because i wanted to see if it could be done lol. while it ended up having to be invite request only, i wasnt ever able to handle keeping the server entirely public (just too many people all joining simultaneously for me to keep up with it), id still say it managed to get done and have a playerbase of around ~100 regular players each week. thats a lot! almost imperceivable to me honestly.

Get that tHANG!!! Happy 2 year anniversary Qblrsmp you will always be famous to ME! Transparent under the cut:
