Hey, how's it going, everyone? It's been a long time of inactivity for me, so I'm going to break that now and bring out a post about something that's been weighing on my mind heavily lately: Classic servers. 
Many of you will remember the good old days when servers were still new, and people were constantly making new servers and new ideas that would generally get a small following; many servers had 10-15 dedicated players, and those that didn't still might get some recognition from the community, if they were to a high enough standard. But now, most of them have died out, either dropping to 1 or 2 concurrent players, and being replaced by the huge servers like Arkham and Mineplex that many commit to rather than those smaller servers that might be just as polished, but remain wuthout players simply because most minecrafters would prefer to follow the crowd and join those with the big followings, rather than experiment with the new, smaller servers. If this continues, however, the community will get to a stage where server owners will no longer spend time creating new servers, no longer put out their ideas, no longer put out small servers for devoted players to enjoy, so there will be no new blood, no new ideas that are put out in multiplayer, nowhere else to go excpet the massive servers where a passing character is gone amidst hundreds or thousands of other players. Instead, I think we should all at least give some thought to those new servers from the owners who are struggling to get any recognition, struggling to gather a following. We should at least give them a chance. 
On that note, "StealthNetwork" | Minecraft RP Prison | is currently in development, and I think that this could bring something good out for the community to enjoy; please go and take a look, and contribute in any way that you can. Thank you.
