Simply put, it's just been delayed getting to forums. It's a very busy time of year for everyone, and we are all adjusting to a lot of new things both on and off of Meep. Active and online players know what's going on and are participating. We will be updating to 1.16 soon, within the next month or so, and we decided to focus our efforts on our active community and their wants and needs.
A brief synopsis:
The community asked that we work to make one game mode great and then focus on others, instead of spreading ourselves too thin, as we have done in the past. All teams are focused and dedicated to working on driving Meep into 1.16:
We are moving away from 1.12 Lilypad and onto 1.16 Bungee. Admins and Devs are working on training for plugins, getting plugins mapped and configured for 1.16, replacing old and incompatible plugins with new ones that have the ability to be updated more regularly. Clue and qaz are working on training myself and Energy, as there is always more to learn and fix.
Moderation is working on updating our rules + punishments to add more consistency to the team. We have Dyno moderation configured for Discord, but we are all still learning how to use it and remember to use it in a consistent manner. It takes time to retrain muscle memory. We'd rather SHOW you we are changing then continue to TELL you so (actions > words). We will get there. It takes time with a tiny moderation team that is changing and has a lot going on IRL.
Architects are working on a new smaller spawn to better suit the community so players do not feel so alone. They have been showing it off and getting input from the community in VCs. It has gone through several iterations and improvements to get it to where it is today. Archs also have to work on converting all of their build worlds from 1.12 to 1.16, and there's a lot of them from so many people working on builds over the years.
Please remember we are all volunteers with lives outside of Meep - work, schooling, families, extracurriculars. On top of that, it's an ever-changing pandemic AND the holidays. It's a busy, stressful, and hard time of year for everyone. I know those on the team are putting in everything they can, when they can, to push Meep forward. If people have ideas/suggestions, please drop them in the Suggestions forum. If people have questions/comments/concerns, you know where to find us :)
