You are incredible dude!! Keep the suggestions going. I think what we need right now is communication from Axed or the head admins. Ex. How long is the delay for Faction reset going to be? They could start hyping it up early so that people get their friends! And bring the population back up!

Thanks, I completely agree, it would be much better if we actually knew if @aXed is reading our suggestions or not.
You're right, informing us about the reset date (at least 7 days before it resets) would be awesome as well, especially since it would bring back some old players, who, if enjoy the reset, would stay and bring more players to guildcraft.

Edited: Part II https://www.guildcraft.org/threads/suggestions-to-improve-guildcraft-part-ii.62280/

So hey guys, I'm here chilling out on the forums bored with the content provided, so I've decided to simply think of some suggestions that could improve guildcraft and increase the amount of players.

1. Invest more time into PracticePvP/Fix PracticePvP

These days PvP gamemodes are the most popular, since people in minecraft enjoy some competition, I suggest that practicepvp recieves a reset, in which the hit detection would be better, less lag, and more plugins/commands for donators.

1. Add a soup kit, where people could practice fights for KitPvP.
2.Increase the amount of Admins on PracticePvP to prevent people from hacking.
3.Improve HitDetection.
4.Give out rewards for the top 10 players on the leaderboards (Euro coupon rewards if possible).
5.Add 2v2 Ranked matches.
6.Maybe bring back 1.7.10?

2. Hosting events more frequently

So, some of you might've participated in the skyblock event, and seen how it worked out, since it was the first event on SkyBlock since a long time, it went well (not perfect, but still good).

The idea is to make monthly events on every server in which people could win Euro coupons for the guildcraft shop (Like the rewards on the skyblock event), for example:

1st place- 15-25 Euro Coupon + Custom title on the server the event was hosted + IGM Or some valuable stuff on the server the event was hosted on.

2nd place- 10-15 Euro Coupon + Custom title + IGM or some less valuable stuff on the server the event was hosted on

3rd place- 5-10 Euro Coupon + Custom title

3. Encouraging people to vote

On most servers (all) the rewards for voting aren't good enough to encourage people to vote.
Soultion: Simply improve the value of the items displayed in the Vote crate.
Since currently 90%+ of the prizes in the vote crates suck, and simply players don't want to waste their time to vote if the rewards aren't worth it.

4. Encourage people to record on the server

Make the youtuber rank more obtainable.
For example, split the YT rank into 3 ranks:

1.Youtuber - 1000+ Subs/400 Average views per video/at least 5 Videos on guildcraft/Has to put up atleast 1-2 Vidoes on GC per month.

And the rank should get like a title Youtuber on every server and some bonus commands (something small like +1 sethome on facs and stuff and stuff on other servers aswell) + A Discord rank on the guildcraft public discord.

2.Youtuber+ - 2500+ Subs/1000 Average views per video/at least 6 Videos on guildcraft/Has to put up atleast 1-2 Vidoes on GC per month.

This rank should get a title Youtuber+ on every server, + some decent bonus commands (Kits, Increased number of sethomes) - Something like an Elite Legacy Rank + A Discord rank on the guildcraft public discord.

3.Youtuber++ - 5000+ Subs/2000 Average views per video/at least 6 Vidoes on guildcraft/Has to put up atleast 1-2 Vidoes on GC per month

This Rank should get a Youtuber++ Title (On every server), a Custom title (On 2 servers of his choice) and commands simmilar to rank Legend (Has access to /fly) + A Discord rank on the guildcraft public discord.

5. Add bosses to servers such as SkyBlock/SkyGrid...

Since there's already a space built for bosses on skyblock, simply add a few of them.
For example

1. /Name/- Spawns Every Hour, Drops an IV set when killed (Difficulty to kill: Medium)
2./Name/- Spawns Every 12 Hours, Drops 6 Gapples and an IV set (Difficulty to kill: Hard)
3./Name/- Spawns Every 24 Hours, Drops 8 Gapps + IV Set + God Sword (Difficulty to kill: Super Hard)
4./Name/- Spawns Every 7 Days, Drops 16 Gapps + 2x IV Set + Titan Axe + /Some Unique Item/

6. Reset 2-3 Servers at the same time

People are always hyped up about one reset, and if it doesn't go as they've planed, they'll mostly end up quiting.

This way, if, for example, Skyblock/Factions/Survival reset at the same time, players can choose which server fits them the most and which server they'll play + A lot of players will come back if the reset ends up being good.

7. Make factions great again.

IMO IGs Should be removed, and price of mob drops in the shop should be increased (for spawners such as Zombie/Skeleton...).
Simply since the reset in which Tender got banned, when IGs were added, (DemiGods+) Were just afking their IGs and getting /baltop 1 easily, which reduced the chances of players getting themselves euro upgrades (players who aren't high donator ranks).

Back in the day, regular people could actually become richer then donators with hard work, but after the IGs were added, it's almost impossible.

+ There's a lot more stuff that could be removed, such as Crate drops, it prevents new people from getting into the baltop chase even more, top factions get every single one, you might ask how this can be fixed, either by simply removing the plugin or if it spawned 10-20 random chests in the warzone, in which 19 contained some regular stuff, and in 1 there's a special prize.
This way regular players would actually have a chance in getting something from it.

8. Unban Tenderman

So yea, that's mostly what came up to my mind now while I was chilling on the forums, I might add more suggestions if I think of any in the future, I know most of these might suck but oh well, at least I'm trying to find a way to help guildcraft reclaim the old player base

-Vojkea out

Edit #1:

9. New Ratings

This suggestion is mostly based on adding 2 new ratings that only staff members (Admins or higher) can rate posts with, for example:

(+) - The player has shown maturity, positive behavior, his post was helpful
(-) - The player has shown childish/toxic behavior, has insulted other players, harrased other people in his post, insulted someone or post farmed (Since a lot of people post farm to get to 30 posts asap so that they can apply)

Only Admins and higher can use them to rate other posts, the main goal of these ratings is, when the player (if the player) applys for staff, they can easily check how many staff members have seen him as a mature, positive, helpful player and how many times he's shown toxic, immature behavior, how many times he post farmed and with this they could easily decide if the player is compatible enough to get the rank he's applying for (They can go to his profile and check how many (+) and how many (-) ratings he has, instead of checking his post history.

Edit #2

10. Bring back 1.7.10

Simple, allow players to join through 1.7.10-1.11, this should make an big impact on the amount of players that join guildcraft

Most people nowadays are looking for 1.7.10 PvP servers, so if you decide to accept my first suggestion (if the PracPvP server gets a reset with better HitDetection/Less Lagg) you should make it 1.7.10-1.11
This should/would attract a lot of players through youtube/other advertising websites, since there aren't any good 1.7.10 PracticePvP/PotPvP cracked servers out there, and there's a lot of people who do not have a premium account but still would like to PvP on a good PracPvP server.

11. Forum Events (Idea gotten from @xph11 and @Martin1)

It's good to have in game events, but sometimes forum events can be just as fun.

Something similar to Xph11's Meme contest, or something like a Vote contest, for example

The top 3 Voters of the month receive rewards:

1st place 10-15 Euro Coupon
2nd place 7.5-10 Euro Coupon
3rd place 5-7.5 Euro Coupon

Or maybe make an event based on ratings, for example, the player that recieved the most "helpful" or "agree" ratings from staff members (Helper+) in a month, recieve a 5 Euro coupon.
This will not only increase the activity of the players on the forums, but will encourage people to be more mature/helpful aswell. (Making the forums a better place)

12. Bring Back VoteShop/VoteCoins

Simple, bring back the /voteshop command.
But this time, try to make it a little better, for example lower the prices, add more items to it, so players become even more interested in voting daily.

An example of how a /voteshop should look like on factions:

1 Vote - 3 Vote coins (Which means you can obtain 15 Votecoins per day (5*3=15))

Protection IV Unbreaking III Diamond Boots - 15 Votecoins (1 day of voting needed to be obtained)
Protection IV Unbreaking III Diamond Leggings - 18 Votecoins (1 day of voting + 1 vote needed to be obtained)
Protection IV Unbreaking III Diamond Chestplate - 21 Votecoins (1 day of voting + 2 votes needed to be obtained)
Protection IV Unbreakin III Diamond Helmet - 15 Votecoins (1 day of voting needed to be obtained)

Sharpness V Fire Aspect II Diamond Sword - 30 Votecoins (2 days of voting needed to be obtained)
Fortune III Unbreaking III Efficiency V Diamond Pickaxe - 30 Votecoins (2 days of voting needed to be obtained)
Fortune III Unbreaking III Efficiency V Diamond Axe - 30 votecoins (2 days of voting needed to be obtained)
Fortune III Unbreaking III Efficiency V Shovel - 30 Votecoins (2 days of voting needed to be obtained)
Silk touch I Unbreaking III Efficiency V Pickaxe - 30 Votecoins (2 days of voting needed to be obtained)

Zombie Spawner - 150 Votecoins (10 days of voting needed to be obtained)
Skeleton Spawner - 180 Votecoins (12 days of voting needed to be obtained)
Pig spawner - 135 Votecoins (9 days of voting needed to be obtained)
Cow spawner - 150 Votecoins (10 days of voting needed to be obtained)
1 Diamond block - 8 Votecoins ( 3 Votes needed to be obtained)
1 Gapple - 30 Votecoins (2 days needed to be obtained)
...

I think that for youtuber rank views per video is too much becouse it is most likely be like at least 200 views for "Youtuber" not 400
all else +1
