Hey fellow miners & crafters of PMC. I see a lot of blogs on here about a variety of topics, some that interest me, some that don't. Some that have a general purpose, or a message. In this blog, I'm not going to be wasting your time. I'm going to be to-the-point about it. Griefing, it happens everywhere. I'd just like to say, why? Why would you be completely obnoxious to join someone's server just to destroy their countless hours of hard work. How do you sleep at night, knowing you completely defaced someones server/map. How could you live with the idea that you once ruined someone's day completely, by destroying everything that they & their friends spent their time creating. Well, I'll admit it. I once messed around and griefed too, but it was as a joke, and I completely rebuilt what I had destroyed. Did I feel like an asshole? Of course. I spent my OWN time fixing it for him & becoming friendly with him. I still feel guilt, even though it's resolved. Now since I've told my story, and shared my perspective, I'd like to tell you what happened. My best friend & I had ran many servers together, and we have good plugin configuration/building experience (Been doing it forever). We purchased a host yesterday, and created a 32 player vanilla community server. We had all of our old friends from Minecraft playing on it, and some new friends from this forum, and from the MInecraftforums. We trusted ALL of the players, and didn't even hesitate once to leave the server on for it's first night online since launch. I came onto the server this morning without being nervous to see if it was still there, because again, all the players were trusted. So, I join about an hour ago, and I'm greeted with the following images:
FOR PEOPLE COMMENTING: "GET ANTI-GRIEF PLUGINS",
IT WAS A WHITELISTED & PRIVATE SEMI-VANILLA SERVER. I'M SMART ENOUGH TO USE WORLDGUARD, TRUST ME.
PLEASE DON'T COMMENT & TELL ME HOW TO INSTALL PLUGINS, IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOOK SMART. THANKS.
SEEMS THAT PEOPLE TOOK THIS POST WAY TOO SERIOUSLY & DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE POINT. PLEASE DON'T COMMENT SOME SMARTASS COMMENT. IT'S COMPLETELY UNNEEDED. THANKS.
My friend spent HOURS building a COMPLETELY detailed cinema for the server.
Some of the new spawn.
A player's villa, which took about 2 1/2 hours.
What's left from the player/community-dedicated statue.
Now that you've heard my story, and seen the pictures above, I'd like to add: Is THIS what the Minecraft community is becoming? Please diamond this post to get this out. Thank you for reading, it means a lot to me & to my server's community.
If you'd like to be a part of one of the friendliest Minecraft community servers, message me/reply to this post. Thank you so much, I love this forum.
