Title: After the first 5 days on the server, what made you stay?
Post by: hennydeez on September 04, 2012, 09:58:09 am
Well this topic is as simple as it gets, essentially answering the question.

I'll start off.

Other servers didn't have what Opticraft have which was community, it may seem other servers say that they have good community but in which it doesn't.
Other servers just spam chat with useless broadcasting junk and bad choice of colors in which would make it hard to interact with other players.
However this server is simply consisted with a helpful community and staff, which was the reason that made me stay. :)

I started in classic, it was the fact that griefers were permabanned that made me stay. Much less grief. :P

The main reason I stayed was because 99% of every player was welcoming, it felt like a family and I wanted to be a part of it in a way. The whole community is nothing like any server I have ever been on. I also found the staff helpful and supportive and so were I guess a good representative for the server. The freedom that I found when building and the idea of a survival server also got me interested. Overall just a top server >.<

I first joined and someone let me stay with them, then I found out a friend was on the server (no longer plays on this server)

From my introduction:

During March and April I played on different servers a lot to find which one I like the most. As time went on I found myself on the Opticraft server more and on other servers less. What I like about the Opticraft server is that the in game commands are really good, the operators are usually helpful and friendly, and the guest map is usually neat and clean looking, guest maps on other servers are just eyesores with 1x1 towers and grieved buildings all over the place, which brings me to another thing I like about Opticraft, it doesn't have as much grievers. I really really enjoy the strict stance against grieving. I've had experiences on other servers who's high level of leniency toward grievers resulted in my build getting grieved multiple times by the same person.

I stayed, because a friend welcomed me here, and the awesome staff. They came at a good time, unlike some servers, they take much longer.

Pretty much the same as raul, I also got to know a few people on the server and everyone was pretty welcoming.
Very happy that I stayed here.

I stayed because i got banned from all of the other servers lol jk. I stayed because i Usually raged quit on all of the PvP servers (because i suck at it), and Opticraft was the first server that didn't have PvP on the Minecraft server list. So after a while i made some friends and decided to stay.

I joined once in October 2010, never really played much, then late November I gave it another shot and wanted to get builder, so I stayed.

*b+tch please*
I stayed because my friends from school had built their houses in the sky about 100 blocks away and  i made them angy by buildin a skybridge with my house in the middle. About a week in, i was griefed and awesonealicia(who had been congradulated on op in chat that day) fixed my grief. That made me apreciate the server staff. I made a sucsessful shop("sucsessful" as in getti.g ripped off and not knowing it). What REALLY made me stay is how one day, i had advertised my shop in chat and 2 guy came in, both with diamond picks, and started destroying the floor. If you remember earlier, i live in the sky, so they fell and died. Me and the staff member who helped me cracked up as the bqn hamner spoke on both of them. all of THAT made me stay.
PS: i was permanently banned for a little while(i WILL admit that) and after 1&1/2 months i fully composed myself to make an apoeal. It was sucsessful. After that, it was like i restarted. I was less selfish and greedy, taking more notice in players in need. I finished a project (a clubhouse) i started to build and made lots of friends with that. I became sucsessful and am now located on the 12th page of /balancetop and/or baltop. Overall, opticraft, i LOVE YOU!

I stayed because the server had protection stones. When I started minecraft, I found a server with protection stones and I liked them. But I was a noob so I would go around "taking" blocks and yea... I didn't know lol. I couldn't find another nice server without Towny. Oh, also because it had a live map so I went exploring before I explored in-game. Also because I found a humongous cross built by codepmman and I built near him and then soon enough corra, code, and I became friends then they got trusted and it gave me an incentive to continue playing.
