Return of the Deity Games

Hey everyone,
I recently got back into playing ImDeity and I realized that my favorite aspect of money-making on the server (DeityGames) were replaced with the DeityWar. I miss the DeityGames and would like to suggest that you do it so that the system alternates between the two, for instance:
6 PM - Deity War
6:30 PM - Deity Games
7:00 PM - Deity War
7:30 PM - Deity Games
etc.

 

I remember, when I first joined they did this after events. Not now. I would like this! It would be fun!

 

But will it die out eventually again?

Most likely, I doubt the Deity games will be ble to get the required 24 sign-up's that often.

 

DeityWar is nothing like the deitygames.

 

Would there have been multiple threads made about re-implementing this, if there was a lack of interest? Seems like people want it back to me.

 

Firstly it is not similiar at all.
Secondly, the reason it lost interest is because it was switched from hunger games with chests, to survival games with mining etc.

I am told that the map was changed because people got to know the maps too well... God forbid people getting advantages for being active. There was no interest lost, you honestly thing that that many people would make threads requesting games back if interest was gone?

What about these 5 threads?

On this link it includes a poll, with 38 people wanting the deity games back, and only 2 opposed. And I play with only 3-4 people in /go war sometimes... /go games was much more popular.

If you want to see more just search Deity Games and you will see countless people in their 1-2 year posts with great memories of the Deity War.

To be honest, both Deity War and Deity Games are fads, and the Deity War is past its prime. So why not switch back to Deity Games until it loses population again? Then go back to War. I honestly can't find any reason not to re-implement it.

 

mas gave links to 5 threads above, i think that is covered.

Also, asking people in teamspeak, i think can be very ineffective. The people on teamspeak is often 1-2 kingdoms people, and only a few of the groups of people, that can be Very opinionated, and deity probably got a biased answer, if there was a broader mix, and not just asking the few people online at that time, the result would have, IMO, been a lot different.

 

alright, first of all rmar, your attitude towards this thread isn't helping to get your opinion get considered AT ALL. your view of pescotti's comments is completely biased and different from what he was implying.

What pescotti says is completely true. being an intense player of deitygames myself, i would LOVE for deitygames to come back. that being said, it is undeniably true that, when deitygames was removed(for many reasons, i should add), there were very few players still interested in playing the game daily. i remember, because it was a literal struggle to get people to sign up for the required amount of people.

although this is a side-note, i want to prove a point on how the society on this server is. the fact that this comment was pushed aside, and not cared about, shows how unthankful some players are. not only do you only stick on one point in hand, the point being that deitygames is NOT implemented at the moment, but you also forget that during the past few months, there has been MANY new editions to mini-games, the creative cloud, and the pvp cloud. nothing is ever enough.

also undeniably true. continuing on from my former rant above, when we had deity games, not only did people lose interest, they forgot about it entirely. but, when it becomes unimplemented, it suddenly becomes the apocalypse of the century. now, i'll give you some credit rmar, bringing fads back works sometimes, in both the marketing aspect and the server aspect. so what if it's brought back? well, first of all, im sure there would need to be new maps, reconstructing of the coding(since theres been almost a dozen updates since we last implemented it), and the work needed to reimplement it would take time from the mods that would otherwise go into the improving and editing of our existing clouds and worlds. would you do all of that, for a silly game that i can ASSURE YOU will die out in the next 2-3 months? i know i wouldn't.

And lastly, your judging and biased outlook on this forum post, and idea in general, both worsens your opinion and power in the matter, and strengthens the power of the opposing opinions. This affects me in a negative way, since i too want deitygames back. next time you want something to change, do it in a healthier and more positive way, for both your sake, and the sake of the people next to you.

 

Im sorry to argue, but when I joined people asked for things. Nothing on that for months. I have noticed that you will TRY or atleast say "We are not going to add it anytime soon". Always. Future? Nothing.

 

I'd like to see what they were like... but they seem to be boring to other users.

 

All your post is is raging at Rmar trying to prove him wrong, so you should not be considered AT ALL. But I will still reply to it anyways.

While I agree with what you have said here, less people play on war currently then did play in Deity Games. Not many people play war anymore... Sure there were reasons for removing it, but if it is popular, there should be no reason for it to not return.

Unthankful??? Really? Rmar is a diamond donator. How better could he show his appreciation for the server than donation money to keep it going? I realize how hard Deity works for the server, and all that has been implemented. But by the same token, I expect player suggestions to be implemented if greatly supported NO MATTER how hard it is to code.

Surprisingly, I agree with most of what you have said here. However, with mods working harder to improve clouds etc, what is an idea that you have that they are currently working on? I'm sure there's something, but nothing with the amount of player support that Deity Games has. And there is a reason that you are not admin of a popular minecraft server. You have to work extremely hard, even though you are well aware it will die out eventually.

Honestly, bashing Rmar doesn't make you stronger either...



Now onto my suggestion, perhaps incorporate donations into Deity Games. With donations you get access to classes etc. Where you can get say, an iron sword when it starts, or food or something, this would make it profitable for Deity. Giving more encouragement to re-implement it.

So don't have Deity pursue it. Have him hire a coder to write the plugin for him. Or, allow a player to write the plugin? I know a few players who would love to, there's plenty with knowledge who would run around the world in order to write a plugin for this.

Then ask a experienced coder who plays ImDeity! Im sure they would do it for free.

 

Why not asked?
