Removing "Eggplant" filter

dragon8877

+1 to have it removed, it's like bread. It was great for a week, then the joke got stale

It makes meep different from the rest of servers. If you don't like it you don't have to stay on meep. Let's be honest, meep isn't going to get any new lasting players. These little things are what keeps people who play regularly happy. If you dislike it, you can play on another server. Easy as that.

Piro, I doubt it's the "little things" that are keeping people on this server. It's the fact older players have invested such a large amount of time into their /bals or their towns that they don't want to leave. Why would you leave a server where you have 10 million on and worked 40+ hours on your town?
Also, I've seen day-new players leave meepcraft thanks to this filter because instead of a funny "hahaha" joke, it's a "what the hell, this is kind of annoying" kind of joke. View it like this, a house has this annoying yellow color that hurts your eyes when you look at it. Sure it's memorable, but you'll never buy the house.

meepcraft is great the way it is if you have any suggestions to improve gameplay just leave the server and never come back again

Is that what you're saying?

Peero

stupid reasoning. Then why have a suggestion section in the first place. If you want something changed, just go to a diff server.
Also question never answered. Why can't old players just say the word eggplant? Why is it forced on everyone including people who dont understand it.

You seem to be getting really angry over a word in a computer game. It's a joke. No one is going to quit the server over it. One

Lol no. I am ready to quit almost every day and I've invested weeks even months worth of time into meep. Also that analogy is terrible.

LOL no. I'm saying that if it really bothers you THAT much then just leave. If it only bothers you a little then stay. This wouldn't improve the gameplay if half the server want it and the other half don't. A good suggestion will only get suggested if a majority of the server like it. Very rarely will a bad suggestion be accepted and kept.

I never thought this was funny, and also believed the filter was stupid and pointless.

It has 672 days I have suffered the torment day and night eggplant, eggplant, eggplant. It mocks me when ever I get into the world all I want to express is the lag that troubles me but the eggplant will not go away.

One day I hope for the eggplant to be removed so we can all have freedom of speech and shall be haunted no more. Until that day comes I shall forever dream. +1

It was pretty funny at first, but as Dragon said, it got old pretty fast...

~ @Peero

We're irritated Piro, it doesn't matter if it's a game or not. We're playing to have fun, not to be annoyed.
Also, from what a lot of people are attempting to tell you, it's annoying. You talk about how meepcraft is going to be "memorable" from this, and you're right! People are going to remember an incredibly annoying filter that meepcraft has.

ToonMichaela

From a server POV i can see that people complaining about lag that can oftenly be from their side on the server is not the best. but replacing a 3 letter word for an 8 letter word.. eeh im not a fan of that.
im neutral towards removing. but im completely for having the word "Lag" of any kind being replaced with a shorter word.

I never said it would make meep memorable. I said it would make meep unique. Not the same thing.

-1 It's still pretty funny when a newbie complains about eggplant and that comes up. Just because a few people don't find it funny doesn't mean we have to remove it.

(I swear I had posted on this im going crazy)
I actually hate the eggplant thing+1

~ @benster82

So it's being used to laugh at new players when they complain? How the heck is that going to attract players?

Splendy

I don't enjoy having my words changed... If I wanted to say eggplant I would. New players are forever being confused, frankly it's irritating. It isolates new players just so that older ones can "have a laugh" that REALLY entices players to stay doesn't it? +1

Personally, i believe that this is one of the things that, in the long run, will make meep more memorable and unique. That personal touch and the fact that this was implemented because of a joke isn't something that you see very much, if at all on the other mini game servers.
~ @Photoave12

okay, i know i don't often do this, but I'm going to rephrase i said.

i recently had an experience with a new player veer. when he joined my town, he said in chat "I'm so eggplanty" (he meant lag), he was clearly confused as to why his chat hadn't posted what he wanted.

so, i propose that the eggplant thing only be enable for players that have been on for more than a few weeks and already know the game, then we can prevent new player confusion, without taking away a memorable, unique part of meep.

any thoughts on this?

You know they will still be confused when they first see it right?

~ @SX1

yes, but the goal here is to delay the confusion so that new players would have more time to get "invested" in the server (either bu building a house or making a friend .etc) before they see it and, while they will still be confused, this confusion will be less likely to make them quit the server.

~ @Photoave12

"delay the confusion" So why not just get rid of it altogether to avoid this confusion? Easiest solution. In fact, that is even more confusing than just keeping the filter in the first place...

~ @Peero

We'd the the unique server with an annoying chat filter. Are we this desperate to be unique?

Jalapenos

No. It makes meep, meep. We can never get rid of the eggplant filter.

~ @Jalapenos

If meep is defined by an annoying filter that half the server hates, and confuses the heck out of new players, then I think I found the reason why we're not doing that well....
