After the first 5 days on the server, what made you stay?

[hennydeez]

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.

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)

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.

[raul7legend]

I stayed (back on classic) because I got recruit and I wanted to work on builder so I kept building...

[Tobs]

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 wanted to get recruit so I could make my waterfall have water

[NatanylJames (N8MATTHEWS)]

Joined 7 monthes ago on SMP, stayed because I wanted a server that atayed true to survival without going over the top. Only server i really found that didnt have a billion plugins.

I think im like on eof the few people thtpat have never played classic. I dont understand the ranks or anything lol

[Nick3306]

I got builder on my 4th day being on the server, after that I left for 2 weeks and eventually came back to build again and never left after that.

[techdude98]

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.

[Relkeb]

Good people.

[Terrewee]

i stayed here because this was the first server i was ever ranked on (yes i considered this server ranking more easily than other servers) and of course after 5 days you meet people you can call friends
