Hey Guys!

I will be rating servers on this topic. I will score the server a mark out of 100 based on originality, flair and how the community and staff are. I will be brutally honest!

Marking Criteria:
Spoiler - click to reveal
Originality: /25 - How original is the your server? Has the idea been done before thousands of times?

Functionality: /25 - How well does your server function for what it is? Is there glitches? Will I get lost or stuck somewhere? do the plugins work?

Flair: /25 - How well is your idea executed? Have you built your own spawn? Does the style of the buildings fit with the style of the server?

Community: /25 - Do you have mature staff? Is there a constant player base? Are your rules fair?

Bonus: - I can award bonus marks if I believe that your server has potential. For example if your server is original and works well but lacks a player base I will award extra marks.

The server didn't seem amazingly original - to me it looked like a simple towny. (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). I noticed you had some kind of mythical enchanting thing which uses essence, this is pretty cool however it doesn't drastically effect game play especially for new players. I checked out the website and liked the fat guy and the player market. The spawn was a little confusing and overwhelming, It could be simplified slightly. Also the teleport portals didn't work for me plus /rtp teleported me underground.

Well, I asked you in the "other information" to read our information.
We have a lot of custom stuff you didn't mention, so of course you don't think we're original.
Our community you give a 0/25;however I bet you didn't even know we have a discord channel full of people where you could get to know our community when no one is online, which seemed to be the case when you logged on.
The teleports didnt work as the sign stated, /warps it is for now.
RTP underground is a coincidence. Never happened before; you can just /rtp again.

Your way of reviewing: 25/100

Nice idea for the servers. both have potential. On the space one - maybe give a little more info on how to travel to different planets / use your ship. With the marvel one I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing. I was aimlessly walking around a city (which is a really nice build) Maybe give a little more direction in what to do and how to play that. Possibly use mythic mobs or something to populate the city with civilians and maybe even bad guys. The lobby/hub was quite bad. It didn't look great and I fell off and died as soon as I spawned.

- Server Name: Ethel.Mc-Srv.Com
- Website: Ethel.Ml
- Store: EthelShop.Ml
- Version: 1.9 but try 1.8.9 just to make sure.

- Info: Ethel Factions is a faction server (duh) in beta it came out of alpha around the ending of September. The server is probs your average faction server with the usual plugins like... Custom Enchants. But there is KoTH and soon PvP.

- Any other info: A lot of time was put into it (besides spawn) because we don't have builds or staff so we downloaded one until we can get some builders to help us out. There aren't many players but I started advertising it recently and the voting system is still being worked on. I think the server is good I tested a lot of the things so everything SHOULD be working fine. But there is always room for improvements :3

As you said, you downloaded the spawn, So I wont take that into account. The server felt like it had a nice style despite it being very unoriginal. I spoke to a mod who had access to /v and permission to spawn in items - Moderators should not have access to these commands if they are playing alongside regular players. When I asked him why he had access to /v he rudely exclaimed "Dont tell us how to run our server". Another major issue with the server is that its still in 1.8.9 ... you really need to update if you want people to join.

Hello, can you tell me the mods name? I made sure all the staff ranks are "fair" the only rank with creative is builder and owner none of the staff ranks have creative or any type of perm to "spawn in items" also /v was a big issue and it wasn't allowed at first but a lot of staff asked for it.

When I joined I was impressed by the tutorial/spawn place - it was refreshing to see a spawn that isn't some kind of glorified box. The general concept of the server (factions pvp raiding) is very unoriginal and overdone which means you are less likely to attract new players to your server. My advice is to come up with an idea to make the server more original.

I joined all 4 of your servers. Ill give a mini review of each server then base the score on the average of all of the servers.

Freebuild:
It was evident that little effort was put into the spawn - the idea of the server was very boring and unoriginal.

Factions:
Again, an extremely dull spawn, if you can even call a flat patch of stone slabs a spawn. Factions is extremely overdone.

Anarchy:
I'm not a fan of the concept of anarchy servers. However this one is evidently terrible. There was no spawn or players except from 2 afk people, presumably staff.

KitPVP:
This was the best of the 4 servers. The spawn was fairly nice and it was clear and well organized. It's a shame there was no players online to actually PVP with.

Having 0 players online was a recurring theme on all 4 servers. Understandably I wasn't online at peak times but I doubt anyone would even want to play here. My best advice is just to focus on ONE server to start with until it has enough players active to branch out (if needed). Try using your imagination and utilizing your discord server to come up with an original idea for a server and execute it with skill.

A typical hub server with the usual mini-games. (survival, creative, skyblock. etc) everything seemed to be functional. Although I joined on a weekday (not peak time) it seemed like there was somewhat of a community. The idea of the server isn't very original or unique however if its true you have been running for 5 years that is impressive.

When I first connected I had high hopes for this server, I really enjoyed the tutorial as it gave a professional impression. The more I played and walked around I noticed it was fairly messy, you had a load of plugins (some of which I believe are quite unnecessary). The warps for the different biomes didn't work and the terrain near spawn was very messed up - lots of griefed buildings and craters. The spawn was quite boring (probably downloaded). However I can see potential in the server.

Thanks for the feedback. You said that the warps don't work? But then you say the terrain near spawn is messed up?
1) You can't even escape spawn, it's all walls. The spawn is not downloaded either.
2) The warps do work and I even had some players test them.

You aren't really a great reviewer either - you fail to state anything good about the server. We have tons of programming and scripts which are custom which aren't even mentioned. All of our plugins are organized into a nice /help menu.

Not trying to be rude, just saying what I think.

Secondly, you won't improve if you refuse to take advice. Sorry if I'm butting in on this thread, but I felt the need to say something. Have a nice day!

I agree with this. The guy put his server here to be judged. This thread is almost entirely opinion-based. He doesn't like faction servers and it affects how he scores. He doesn't join servers at peak time, which can create bias as well (especially when one of the categories is community). Not to mention he actually took off "bonus" points from someone's score.

There's not really a proper judging system going on here, so you can't be mad when he says he doesn't like your server or give it a good score. It's his opinion and you set yourself up to hear it. If you weren't going to listen to criticism, why ask for it?

Also, sorry for barging in as well.

About the warps, I apologize for not being totally clear. When I clicked the desert warp it took me to the forest one. And saying "We have tons of programming and scripts which are custom" is just a fancy way of saying you can use a plugins configuration... Even so; who, honestly, even cares if you have a nice looking /help menu. Its not like you have a complex server where players constantly rely on /help.

If you fail to realize that my server has custom programming then I don't know what you're doing reviewing servers. I programmed literally, by hand, thousands of lines of code for custom features and commands. Your review is, at this point, irrelevant to me.

You also contradict yourself; "you had a load of plugins" then you go on to say " Its not like you have a complex server."

Quite a nice server from what I saw. Towny, a pretty good player base, quests and slimefun. The spawn seemed fairly boring - a spawn you would typically see on a factions server. The chat was an absolute mess - The very disorganized titles with the &k magic letter thing. Hurts my brain :P but overall fairly good.
