Some needed insight.
First and foremost welcome to our project, BlockGame!
BlockGame is a network designed to provide a home for the most competitive and skilled players in the community, while also creating a welcoming and enjoyable environment for all players.
We have a mission and we don’t intend to fail no matter how long it takes us to succeed. Many gamemodes have faced the threat of slow decline and eventual extinction. This is especially true of older style gamemodes such as Practice, HCF, Bunkers, Soup, etc. These were all once popular gamemodes but in the past few years, they have been losing players at an insanely rapid rate.
We refuse to stand by and watch as these beloved gamemodes slowly fade away. To us it is downright unacceptable that these gamemodes go without being appreciated. So we have made it our goal to revitalize these gamemodes and give them a second life. We have encountered many obstacles in our efforts and more often than not people don’t believe in our mission, many say it is a waste of time trying to breathe life into something that has already passed. However no matter how much discouragement we receive, we will continue along our path.
That is why we focus on one task: to give these gamemodes a new life. We have been taking proper steps to accomplish this such as plans to provide community events, cash prize tournaments, and recruiting experienced players to help us. We want to bring new players, bring back old players, rebuild the community, and create a better and brighter future for the Competitive PvP community as a whole. That is our ultimate goal. If we come together and work collaboratively, then we believe nothing can stop us from reaching our goal. We don't see why these great gamemodes should be allowed to die out completely. We are always open to suggestions and having others on board, no matter who you are, to help us on this mission will be greatly appreciated. We refuse to allow legacy game modes to slowly vanish into obscurity. That’s why we have dedicated ourselves to reviving them and bringing them back to their former glory.
If you play BlockGame for more than 1-day playtime before release, you'll receive the exclusive rank "Beater" along with a special badge on the website. We don't want this to be just another money-making business endeavor so that's why there is only going to be two purchasable ranks, "Supporter" and "Donator" which can either be bought on a monthly or lifetime basis. We know it seems like an atypical business plan, and our core aim has been and always will be to create a truly passionate platform and community-oriented experience unlike any other seen before. That’s why BlockGame isn’t and won’t ever be considered a proper business instead, BlockGame is a Minecraft server for the players who want to have a fun and competitive environment, as it offers one last final stand before it’s all over in which I want to deem "The Community's Server".
I understand if anyone has a skeptical reaction when they hear the term "the community's server" especially considering it's been used by some bad actors in the past. I want to make it clear that BlockGame is genuinely committed to making this idea of "The Community's Server" a reality. We take this goal seriously and believe deeply in it having a positive impact on our community.
Cheating in our community has been a widespread issue as far back as 2015, so that's why we want to make sure that everyone plays on BlockGame in a safe, fair environment. Cheating will **never** be tolerated no matter who it is or what rank they have, which includes staff positions as well. We won't sell unbans or accept bribes for the removal of punishments. **Punishments will be swift and harsh**, think twice about trying to ignore/disprove this warning, your ego will be shattered rather fast when you're sitting with regret on the ban screen while your friends continue to play. Try to have some integrity before it's too late. Honesty and integrity go a long way!
We know that the costs of hosting and development can be high, so I want to be completely open about what any donated funds are being used for. We're hoping to keep these expenses manageable through contributions from community members, purchased ranks, and our own money. All revenue generated goes directly back into operating the server. If there is any way you can contribute, it would mean a lot to us. We are asking for your support as we are currently in an OPEN TESTING phase for BlockGame. (Though there may be times where it is closed for maintenance) Although things may change a lot before release, we'd appreciate it if you can log on and have some fun! If you encounter any glitches/bugs though, please let us know how you produced them, this feedback is invaluable to our team as we work towards making sure everything's ready for an official launch. BlockGame is so special to not only me but our team as well,
and I'm glad that others will get the chance to experience it too. We intend to remind everyone of the fun and connection we can feel when playing together as a community.
