• Revitalize the prison: give it a whole new look, modernize it, maybe even change up the layout of things.
• (Repeat) Revise your policy on bans/unbans. I never received any feedback from the admins on this one, so I'm not sure whether or not it was being thought about or flat out denied/ignored.
• Place Quartz Ore (a very rare, but guranteed amount) in the Dirt Mine. Would replace the currently useless Clay, as well as add some player interaction. Could also add it to the shops, in case people for some reason wanted to sell it. I can see this one being denied, honestly. B Dirt mine would be filled with a bunch of prisoners and Free/Citizen

We want Headros back as a Chat Mod!

He was my favourite Chat Mod and he was the oldest Chat Mod.. I liked him because he tolerated some stuff unlike other Mods. He always helped and answered questions and I don't think (most of us think) he shouldn't be demoted for something like that. He was giving a suggestion in chat and yeh.. 1 sentence was maybe too much, but every human makes mistakes. We're already kinda short on Mods in this timezone Headros moderated. And this is just another case what most of players were just talking to give some players a second chance.

I'm also sad how the server goes at the moment. One of the thing you should change, is the ban & mute appeal system.

In This Post, I am in no way, saying that the server is dying
However, it has become readily apparent to me, that this server IS getting smaller, and I would like to offer many suggestions to hopefully help reduce the number of people banned, and maybe even bring people back to the server. Most of my suggestions will be very simple, and straight forward, possibly only taking 10-20 minutes to execute.

1. Do a bit of terraforming work around freeville.
This will make accessing the free world much easier, while giving a much more aesthetically pleasing feeling to freeville. As it is right now, the area around freeville looks rather sketchy, and makes the server look less established and less "professional". AND on top of all that, it will be IMMENSELY more convenient to players who go in/out of freeville.

2. Make the tutorial mandatory, and include a room full of signs including basic chat rules (INCLUDING METHODS FOR BEING PERM MUTED), prison rules, guard rules, and a list of some bannable offenses.
This will hopefully cut down on arguments with staff, and will (hopefully) cut down on bans for small things.

3. Put up signs all over the mines saying that x-ray IS bannable.
Put signs that say x-ray is NOT allowed, and will be punished with a ban, and include that people WILL be caught, for proof go to bit.ly/killion and look at all the xray ban appeals. Put these signs near the ladder entrances, or near the mine entrance or just all over the walls. I personally want fewer people to be banned for x-ray so that the server bans less people, and then there are more players.

4. When the /trade message appears, include a line of text that says "Exploitation IS bannable, and will be acted upon"
This will (yet again, hopefully) reduce number of people getting banned for exploiting glitches.

5. When someone gets muted, add a line of text that says "Chat rules can be viewed at bit.ly/killion" (clickable link of course)
This will mean that someone cant be baffled at why they are muted, and can then read the rules while they are muted.

6.People should get a 2-7 day mute for the first time they do a perm mutable offense.
This will definatly teach them the lesson perm muting is supposed to teach, while still giving people a chance to get more familiar with the rules so that they dont get perm muted.

-Less Simple stuff-

7. FIX PVP GLITCHES AND HIT DETECTION
I know several successful PVP servers with plenty of anti cheat plugins that don't glitch like hell. Seriously, this needs to be fixed. Hell, I don't even know about anymore minecraft pvp cheats. If someone is doing something like flying while pvping, they will very obviously be reported, so there don't need to be this many anti cheat plugins. The hit detection is alos awful, and REALLY needs to be fixed. If all the pvp glitches and hit detection were to be fixed, SSSOOOOOOO many people would come back to the server. Lots of avid PvP'ers came back to the server, and quit almost as quickly as they rejoined, all because PvP glitches screwed everything up. This seriously needs to be fixed. No joke, it is a huge draw back to this server, and I think a LOT of people would be happy if it were to be fixed.

8. Make a detailed list of chat rules. YES I FREAKING KNOW ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO GET ALL OF THEM. But honestly it would be pretty easy for a warden to take 30 minutes to an hour of their time and put together a freaking extended mute list. Wardens say "You players can do this on your own" yet its not our server that we run. I can see myself putting together a list of rules sometime in the future, but really it should be the owners/admins of this servers job to do that.

9. Pstones. Pstones. Pstones
Seriously, there are SSOOOO many good fixes to make pstones better. I'm not fully familiar with the extent at which you can modify this plugin/mod(whatever it is) but I DO know there are many things that can be done to make it better. a command as simple as /ps yes (or ps no) to answer "Are you sure you want to place this pstone? It is non refundable" (I'm copying this suggestion from someone, i think it was Abryant) Or just reinstate the old pstone rules. Maybe make it to where you get half price back from placing a non refundable pstone, or you only get 2 t2's and t3's but only one t1. basically there are a million ways to help make pstones more player friendly, just please use one q.q

that is all, i really hope these are looked at AND taken into consideration, i would really love to see some feedback from everyone to see if i am accuratly conveying what is possible, and what is wanted/needed.
Thanks guys

Stuff like that can always change.

To take care of this urgent and major problem, a lot of things need to happen. The staff needs to relax and stop denying the current state of the server. It is in horrible shape. I cannot foresee it lasting all the way through the summer. You guys have made so much money doing this, and I applaud you for that. Your players should become more than the money. We are the ones giving you the money, make us feel at home on the server and not disrespected. Put some work into making the server better.

Suggestion:

A confirmation of pstone placement, or a time limit for refunds (on the non-refundable pstones).

I just experienced what I'm sure lots of you have: I accidentally placed a Tier 3 pstone, effectively draining all my money.

I think there should be some safeguards to prevent these unfortunate accidents, which as I said above, would be a confirmation message "Do you want to place this pstone and credit your account?" Or a time limit for refunds on current non-refundable pstones. If someone accidentally places a T3 pstone, crediting their account $700,000, they could have 5min to lift that pstone and receive a refund.

Both of these safeguards together would be fabulous, because sometimes we may miss the message of a pstone being placed/crediting our account, as I just did.

Hope everybody else likes this idea.

I know it's a long shot, but could we maybe get the ability to sell Clay Balls again?
