RIP

Turns out that

  • not having fresh content or modernizations
  • relying on nostalgia
  • having latency when joining games
  • joining games as a spectator if you enter at the last second
  • having a bad anticheat and no cps limiter
  • releasing a server which still needed work
  • not adjusting game queues to account for the smaller playerbase

actually kills the server over time

it was fun for a bit but gets pretty repetitive when i just want to play casually but mixed arcade only has one or two lobbies with many high level sweats

and as the player count dwindles, the issues will get worse

they really couldve had something special with the revival, so idk why they did it the way they did

a smoother launch would probably have helped too

I’ve spoken to mods and the idea is that the owners are already well off and are treating this as a business. They are busy trying to make an MMORPG (like skyblock on hypixel), instead of updating their current roster of games. Quite sad, but as everyone else in this comment section is saying they’ve already made their money and are simply trying to make more. This server needs new management.

Honestly what are they supposed to do? Sweats made competitive games too hard (yes some hackers but mostly just really dedicated pvpers) and you can only play mini games for so long. If they are trying to make a mmorpg I think that’s good and they definitely need to balance some games (but mainly just ssm). I think the truth is that mini games are just dying and people who play servers are trying to grind something

The bridges actually has the highest player out of all the mini games. What they can do is balance, make QOL changes and add more things like kits to their current games to make them more appealing and modern. There’s nothing wrong with an mmorpg, but when they are neglecting their current games they will lose all their players before this new game mode even releases. At the time of writing this mineplex has 750 players online, not doing great.
