Hello Minecrafters MrZybez here with the here with Horizion City Reviews

     You may remember my other PMC Blog Lets Fight Back - A Defend PMC Blog About how there are not enough REAL Minecraft server reviewers and most use PMC as a weapon to troll. In this blog I want to state “I’ve done it!” I have made REAL Minecraft server reviews and am doing a new one each week. I picked a server at random and without telling anyone and just playing the game created a review. Doing reviews is harder than people think it is. You need to use the product like any other person and stay objective and unbiased. To create a legitimate review you must not get special treatment and be able to see both the positives and the negatives of the server, which I am quite good at.

NOTE: I may use PMC as a tool to find the servers but I am in no way affiliated with PMC, Mojang, or any other Official parties. I am With the Omegaverse Network and am doing this according to my own free will and as a volunteer. I do not get paid for the reviews, I just enjoy making them.

     Now you may ask “Why is he doing this?” The answer is, because I got tired of there not being enough REAL reviewers. Most of the ones I’ve seen play on just one server and review that one or a few, maybe one to 3 servers. Also most reviews on YouTube I’ve seen are from the owners themselves doing it to get attention. I wanted to be a REAL reviewer and go in a really look at everything. Also to show that there are other servers out there, that are really good that just don’t get enough attention. So here is the list of the episodes in my new series Minecraft Review Reviews



===============================================

NoobsTown

Noobstown is a towny survival server with grief prevention. At first glance the server doesn’t seem too appealing, but after a few hours playing, the appeal is long lasting.

Once you spawn in you will be given 2 choices in the main room. Choosing member will give you access to many useful things that most server have for granted. Choosing guest will have you stay in a limited play experience and no, you won’t explode. If you do choose guest be prepared to get annoyed by little things here and there. It’s still unclear what happens to you after a week’s time but after playing while I decided it didn’t matter.

The website is easy to use so long as you have an email address. After signing up on the site many new features pop up that were not available to a guest user. The website has rules, an active staff and community that use the forums on a regular basis. Sometimes websites aren’t really used by a Minecraft server, but in this case the website seems to be essential for a full experience. They talk and host events and go so far as to make an online auction house.

The server map, and design feels like a mmorpg map with an epic spawn and builds throughout. The layout of the spawn as well has a mmorpg feel to it. It was sad to not see any quests or npc’s. Upon further play, it turned out there was in fact npc’s and quests at one point in time. Sadly they had to be removed due to lag issues. They may return within the future, but even without them the server is still pretty fun.

They have minigames, events, mobareas plus more. The mobarea was a real treat to play. It had some aspects to it that seemed out of the norm for a mob area and it was quite enjoyable. Trying to get to those higher levels would result in a higher loot count. So you know that you hard earned work was being rewarded rather that a default standard prize.

The server is old, and with it being this old, there was a lot to see or find out. They had a museum world that I didn’t even know existed till late in the review process. Having all this information readily available was not a strong suit. I had to dig for information. Yes they had the TIPS that showed up on screen, but like any other server I simply, over time, ignore the auto messages. This is something that many players do naturally. If you are not being talked to, you tune everything out. This seems to be its only problem.

The server has many great towns, lots of constant players, a strong server community and a safe place to play for all ages. From playing the server I have to agree with the statement they have. Their server is 99.9% non-Greifable. This place is very well rounded and the owners know what they are doing and how to make a safe play space for all ages. Through playing I found things like “My son is helping build this” or “My whole family plays on here” and a wide range of friendly dialog. This place, has one of the best places to play, for people who want to have safe family fun on minecraft.

So with all that said the final verdict is an 8.0

This server has the highest rating thus far and it’s for good reason. This server takes a while to find all its good features and it doesn’t convey the right information in the right way, but despite that, this is the place to be for all ages.

If you like towny servers or you’re a family man who wants to spend time with your kids. This place is for you. With no griefing and many fun things to do this place is a great spot.

A: I choose a
server at random on PMC or my list, then I hop on and film the first 30

Do you only choose a server at random? Any way you would be interested in reviewing other servers?

sorry, i changed the information. I run the site zybez uses to safely get paid for
server reviews or letsplays. He also does them for free. but, stometimes, when he's overloaded
he starts having people pay him thru our marketplace.




Its allows some safety between the server owner and the reveiwer
If the review isnt done, the money is guarnteed to go back to the server owner.
