  1. It's that time of the month again: Time to vote for which challenge you would like to become permanent.

    Since HayThere won last month, it is now a permanent part of the Skyblock Challenges.  All past options have also been put back into the polls.  See below if you need a refresher to remember what those challenges offered.  Warning: challenges can only lose a ballot 3 times.  This means if PaperMill or Recycled don't win, they will be forever gone.

     

    Remember: The winning challenge will be slightly nerfed.  We will be posting June's temporary challenges at the end of this month.  Get your votes in now!

  2. Are you good at taking cool photos/screenshots in Minecraft?

     

    Do you revel in the beauty of a nice build or landscape?

    We do, too!

     

    There is a PickAxis Instagram account and we need help populating it.

     

    https://instagram.com/pickaxisnetwork/

     

    If you have any cool screenshots that you would be ok with us posting on this Instagram account, please upload or link them below.   

     

    We will definitely give you credit for the shot.

     

    A couple things to keep in mind:

    • Please only submit shots taken on the PickAxis Network
    • Please only submit original content - do not steal from others!

  3. I spend almost all my time playing Minecraft in the Hardcore server.  I'm surviving with 101_Boss_101 and we have multiple bases and a back-up stash in case we get raided.  

     

    What causes the thrill of the game for me?

     

    1) I haven't been threatened by another player yet (although reading above, I see I would easily be killed or targeted by some of you ;) )

     

    2) Just staying alive while surviving adds a whole level of complexity.  I'm not usually one who dies in survival, but for some reason I'm extra guarded in Hardcore.

     

    3) I love throwing empty threats at players who collect a lot of stuff.  Like "I'm gonna get you, my pretties."  --> That makes me the Wicked Witch of the West :)

     

    4) This post has lost focus because I'm getting a lot of messages in other chats right now....you all know I can't multi-task well.

     

    5) I just love Hardcore!  Woot!

     

     

    TL;DR - Hardcore is good and I hope you all come play it with me.


  4. Jak, follow these steps:

     

    1) teleport to a random location

    2) /sethome

    3) hit your head on a rock (in-game)

    4) start surviving there

    5) start going by the name "peaches"

     

    2 of these steps are optional...which ones?  that's up to you.


  5. adensem,

     

    Thank you for your suggestions!  We need more suggestions like your's (and Sullear's) to optimize our servers.  Let me address your recommendations:

     

    1) Admin shop & town prices:  We set up this admin shop when we first started the server.  The original intention was to keep every single player from making a town so we didn't end up with abandoned cities everywhere.  The current price for a town is $7500.  After having this economy for a bit, we're starting to see that it is quite difficult for the majority of Minecraft players to achieve such a lofty $ balance.  I will talk with Nick this weekend to determine if we should lower the cost of a town.  Sullear suggested $5000.  What are your thoughts?

    For the admin shop and black market: I would love to set up [buy] signs and some more [sell] signs.  Do you have suggestions for what items should be added?  I would be more than happy to diversify and expand the shop.

     

    2) Low population:  We are fully trying to get more players on.  Because I have to be in an office for 10 hours a day, I can't help getting more people on at all times.  We are actively advertising (mostly free, a little paid) for the servers, but it's starting to become harder and harder to get players.  Sites that cost ~$5000/month to advertise and once brought in thousands of players to a server, now only bring in a small handful even though the price is still the same.  We have a plan to invest in some more expensive advertising this summer.  We hope that brings in more players.  I want and need to start challenging the staff to help find more creative ways to get more players.  If you have suggestions on how to grow the player base, please share them.  I'm always looking for something to help here.  I think we have a great network, we just need to get the players to support it. :)

     

    3) Money & Voting:  Voting isn't the only way to get money on the server.  In fact, voting is probably the poorest way to get money.  As Sullear said above, we are looking into a plugin that pays you for the time you play on the server.  We'll look more into this over the weekend when we're at home (and not at work).  Bill also pointed out that in Survival, doing challenges (/c) will immensely boost your balance.  

     

    Let me know your thoughts on these replies.  We're always looking for ways to improve the servers.  Your suggestions are very appreciated.

     

    Also, welcome to the community!  Glad to have you!
