    PSA: Please, do not mention EULA in this thread. I'm fully aware of it and the following post is intended to be used after we have complied with EULA.

    Preface:
    As a person who has been around for a total of 3+ years, I feel confident enough to speak up my mind and provide a few suggestions which, in my opinion, will allow for Brawl to become the king it once was. The situation has been quite stagnating, and while the free WarZ Elite brought players (such as me) back to the game mode I have dreaded for so long.

    So, I'm going to present you the 3 necessary steps for making Brawl great again from my point of view.

    3 steps to make Brawl great again:


    1. Bring back FpsHG (And not SGG, for the sake of Jesus).
    Recover and use the old plugin with all of it's features, such as teams, feasts, fun maps and addictive gameplay. The server didn't have a proper donation system in place before being shut down, so it is up to work with EULA. In trade, we can knock down a McParty server and set up some restrictions. Pre-eula owners of ranks could get a few kits and features. Those who spawn in leather armor could get some of the cosmetics. The game was perfect before the update which removed teams. Even 1 or 2 servers will do it.

    2. Switch from TS3 to Discord. As of right now, quite a few Brawlers have this app (mostly McPvPers) and it is 100% free, much safer and more accessible than TS3. You can compare TS3, Discord, Skype and CV here. It has a lot better and more accessible UI, 100% free hosting with back and encryption which works better than TS3. It is quite obvious that it would take very long time for this app, but in the end it could even replace Slack. The switch from TS3 can be done in stages and over time, so that it doesn't cause any trouble.
    Trust me, I have used this app and it delivers on what it offers. This will allow for us to get rid of TS3 hosting expenses.

    3. Make WarZ's 2.0/new map go through a beta stage. I understand that there is some internal testing, but a paid beta and a free/closed beta afterwards will ensure not only profits but also the fact that newest map is tested, fixed and fine tuned more than it would have been without a public beta. It is time to put things to test. Please make WarZ 2.0 beta a thing, even if only a fragment of the map is presented.

    I'll gladly accept feedback and take your opinion into account. I felt like making this for the sole purpose of ensuring Brawl's survival.

    REMINDER: Please don't mention EULA.

    We're considered one of the biggest TS servers, especially in the Minecraft department. We aren't willing to give that up for something that might not even work out. Sorry.

    If you are bringing back FpsHG, don't change it. Keep the teams and everything in place the way they were before the update that changed the game a lot.
    Also, make it impossible to stack food and supplies.

    I quickly read it all, and in my opinion it really doesn't make Brawl that much great again. They really have to come up with some pretty f*cking good sh*t.

    I wish I could go crazy with my ideas, but we can only do that once all the funding is solved. FpsHG was the greatest thing ever.

    I would have mentioned stuff like SAO, but it got cancelled.

    I'd like to add on to this, Brawl needs to advertise, big time. The few that are up aren't enough. Brawl needs a dedicated Youtuber That is willing to "advertise" the server for pay. It seem's a bit weird but it is definitely something that should happen. New players aren't going to find brawl if they don't know about it. Back when Skydoesminecraft and all his buddys played, brawl pushed 3000 players daily. Brawl needs to get in contact with some of these big youtubers and work something out.

    As well as one more message to brawl, Do what the people want. If the community wants a WarZ update, don't go makin' a new set of servers. Upgrade WarZ, and do it in a timely fashion. It'll keep more players coming back every day waiting for the new update.

    I would like to give my opinion too.

    When it comes to where to put available Developers, put them in the most in demand game mode. At the moment it looks like WarZ has so much new potential and I think that it needs to be revamped... I mean put in open beta for older WarZ players. The older WarZ players sometimes were mean but they were honest on the forums and outspoken. Also make a contest just like Skywars one, where the builders had a layout. Like 4 different layouts for different types of buildings. So there are 4 winners and a lot of potential buildings.

    Survival PvP needs a simple spawn, almost flat, no pig spawner. Make it where you can mine Spawners with 50 Experience levels. This server needs to be run on 1.7 for sure. It was made for that and it fits so well. Also make a max player count for teams and you can /kick when they are offline.

    Wild West. Just put the old version again. It was a good server when people could have huge battles. I really loved it and so did most of the players. Please consider bringing it back. The new version is so anti bandit friendly. Add quest, add more LEGAL ways to make money. Add a way to disable sheriff teleportations for 10 minutes.

    I lost my train of thought... lol, just try to focus on something and stick to it. +1 from me on this thread

    The CTF discord by itself has more people that ts half the time, I think it's worth the switch.

    We have 99 on TS and it's 10 pm, we get 150 - 200 during the day. Like I said, we're proud of our TS and don't plan on switching any time soon.

    I understand that, but you have to remember that the CTF discord is only one gamemode currently and has almost half the amount.

    That said, I understand your stance and will cease to argue.

    Half of them are afk or aren't playing Minecraft. Not something to be proud of. #Weston XD

    As the person who created the Discord I can assure you that if you put in the effort a Brawl Discord could easily become far greater than those numbers. As somebody who used the TS the player number was spread out and many of the actual users were in private channels while the CTF Discord can hold a call of up to 20 people together.

    This could probably be because of how tight knit CTFers are, so it might not work out with Brawl as a whole but giving a shot wouldn't kill. Discord servers are free so you literally won't lose money out of attempting it.

    I don't really think "being proud of TS" would be a big enough reason to stay on TS forever. Discord is more modern, it allows for chatting over text for socially awkward rejects such as myself to still use it, the way it looks is just better and more user friendly and its more accessible (instead of downloading crap, I could literally give you a link and you could click on it and join it straight away, on the web, without the need for any downloads). Not only that, but its free, so using both side by side wouldn't cost Brawl anything. Its worth a shot, and could even be set up by a community member (the one we have currently is).

    Discord is a lot better trust me, like @Tenshirox said. Try having discord server sup for a little bit, if it doesn't work that's fine, go back to TS. If it works wooh?

    And considering its completely free, you'll lose nothing if it does fail (and considering a Discord server set up by the community only for CTF has much more CTFers on than TS does, the chances of it failing aren't exactly huge).
