All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world​

 

guys I have a serious problem

this is a family-friendly server

this needs to stop

we need to be nice to each other

just wanted to get that off my chest

 

Today, I learned Burritoh wanted to leave meep due to bullying. This is a MAJOR issue. We are a family friendly server. Screw swear words, kids know those already, staff need to focus on BULLIES. So many a player have quit meep due to bullying, we must stop this. Maybe staff are doing stuff behind the scene. I personally haven't seen many bullies go away.

People bullied someone who was giving away selflessly thousands of dollars to meep. How can this happen? Did staff stop it from happening? No. Maybe they tried. Trying just isn't enough. More consequences should be put in place for repeated bullying such as balance clears or annual bans.

Even if it's a joke, it can hurt. I know some of the spam hate Burritoh got was jokes, and were by good people, but others were repetitive jerks.

This should be our new goal. Make it so someone, anyone!, can join meep, and feel safe from the bullyies and jerks, and play safely.

Please correct me in comments if staff are doing more, and post more stories and experiences on meep below, please.

As always, thank you to listening to me rant.

 

i have an announcement:
From here on I, Burritoh, will be top donator each month, every month. This doesn't mean it will say Burritoh, as I am top donator but I purchased for @Versus so that's who's name it says. Will hopefully spend $1000 more this month. And just to be clear, I bought her a rank, the 30+mil meebs were for me to potentially give away

 

So I'm totally down for 1.9 on meep, and I found a server that was able to emulate a good pvp environment while keeping the logistics for 1.9

Please read this post and post your thoughts on the matter
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone. So we have been very hard at work for the past 2 weeks trying to get our network ready for 1.9. This has taken a lot more work than we originally had planned on because of some poor design decisions with 1.7. As a result we had to go back and redo a lot of our work. Not to mention supporting 1.7/1.8/1.9 has proved to be quite difficult with some of our advanced features such as the tab list. Nevertheless we have prevailed \o/

So, before I start reading "Omg 1.9 sucks.", "Omg [Server] is dead", "Omg what the [] are you doing!?" and other stupid comments in this thread take a few moment's to actually READ the thread before you act like an idiot in it.

[Server]'s 1.9 is not default vanilla 1.9

I repeat

[Server]'s 1.9 is not default vanilla 1.9

The following balance changes have been made (subject to change):

Change: Attack speed of all swords/axes have been modified from 0.8-1.6 dps to 7.0 dps (7 attacks [full swings] per second)

Reasoning: The attack speed in 1.9 is slow…like way too slow…like turtle slow. No idea who's idea it was to make attacks have a charge with such a slow damn time. We think the idea of the charged attack is cool. It helps defeat things like autoclickers and triggerbots because if you attack too fast you get punished. This game should NOT be based on how fast you can click a mouse. If you compare an eSport to any real sport it is based on the player's performance. Not the hardware they have. Some mice can be clicked faster than others. This gives an unfair advantage to people who have shittier hardware. As a result we have changed the attack speed to something that is humanly possible without jitter clicking, butterfly clicking, or using any third party help. Also make sure to remember that in Minecraft you can only attack the same entity (player) twice a second. All other attacks are simply ignored during the 500 ms wait period.

Change: Sweep Attack has been reworked. Instead of now being every time your sword charge is full you need to crouch in order use the sweep attack. In addition there is a three second cooldown.

Reasoning: The sweep attack is a nice option for fighting. It gives you the option to attack/knockback multiple opponents at once. This could be a good opener to splash a little bit of AoE (Area of Effect) damage onto the opponents or used as a retreat option when trying to run away from people. The issue is that since we changed the attack speed of the default weapons, you pretty much always are sweep attacking since the charge up time for the weapons is a lot faster. As a result we have decided to make it a cool secondary ability which you activate by crouching and attacking. (We will add a sound to let you know that the cooldown is up in a later patch).

Change: Fishing rods are reverted to 1.7 behavior (in vanilla 1.9 you cannot attack players with a Fishing rod).

Reasoning: As much as I hate fishing rods, they have played a very important part in breaking combos. Now that block hitting is no longer a part of the game you still need an option in order to break combos or apply some extra knockback to someone as you are trying to retreat. As a result we have reverted the fishing rod behavior to 1.7 behavior where the fishing rod can hit an enemy opponent.

Change: Shields now reduce arrow damage (33% of original damage) instead of just cancelling it.

Reasoning: If you attack someone who is using a shield the damage is reduced from 100% -> 33% in vanilla 1.9 Minecraft. If someone shoots an arrow at the shield the damage goes from 100% -> 0%. While in theory this does make sense, it doesn't make for good gameplay in Minecraft. As a result we have modified the shield damage from arrows to be 33% of the original damage just like swords/axes when blocking with a shield.

Change: Critical attacks have been modified in 1.9 behavior. We have no intention of changing them.

Reasoning: The system of critical attacks in 1.7 is really silly and stupid. You accidentally are applying critical damage throughout your fight since you just have to be in the air in order to attack critically. In 1.9 they added an extra condition to critical attacks. You have to not be sprinting. This makes more sense in reality since you would have to focus more energy on the attack which means you would probably not be running. This also adds another skill factor to the game. Players who can properly 'W' tap (instead of toggle sprinting) will be able to take advantage of the new critical system and might be able to apply some extra damage.

Change: Armor has been reverted to 1.7 behavior (in vanilla 1.9 the armor has been nerfed…a lot)

Reasoning: Flat out Mojang made armor way too weak for a serious PvP environment. When we were testing the gameplay out people were dying way too fast. As a result we reverted the armor behavior back to 1.7 behavior in order to keep a more consistent gameplay transition for people moving from 1.7 to 1.9 slowly.

Change: Axe Damage has been reduced from vanilla 1.9 damage.

Reasoning: Since we increased the attack speed of the axes, the damage had to be reduced in order to make swords the main go to weapon still. For those of you who are not familiar with the 1.9 changes, if you attack someone who is using a shield with an axe, the shield is disabled for 5 seconds. This allows a great opportunity to smash on some extra damage that they cannot block. (Remember blocking reduces damage to 33% of the original attack).

Conclusion

@Archybot and I both personally feel that [Server]'s 1.9 will be the future of Minecraft PvP. We have spent time looking at the things that made 1.7 PvP good as well as the things that have made 1.7 PvP bad. We have done our best to properly balance this new update for a PvP community (which is what [Server] has always been based around). We are hoping that everyone here takes the time to read the patch notes for [Server] 1.9, and takes some time to come onto the new [Server] 1.9 ArenaPvP servers (which come out tomorrow) and try it out. We think that you will all find very fast that [Server]'s 1.9 has a higher skill cap than [Server]'s 1.7 and that the gameplay doesn't feel too different from before.

Also please keep in mind that we will be tweaking and balancing things still slowly (weapons/armor, knockback, hit angles, etc) over the next week or so. Once we have finalized our balance changes to 1.9 we will be publishing a plugin or a Spigot patch for people to use in order to emulate [Server] 1.9's PvP mechanics.

That's it for now guys. Feel free to discuss the patch notes below and give us your feedback on how amazing of a job we did for fixing Minecraft 1.9 PvP.

 

So as many if you know we had an AMA on Twitch where we talked a bit about Meep, asked me anything you wanted and I gave honest answers.

Well were having round 2 this Saturday. Most likely start around 4 (little before or after)

Bring questions, comments, whatever you want to ask and well have a chill time. Play a few games and maybe have a few giveaways.
The entirety will be uploaded to Youtube for those of you that cant make it but want to check it out after. If you cant make it, shoot me your questions on here and ill answer them on stream so you can watch after.

Hello all

As you may have heard, Minecraft 1.9 was released today. We have been discussing this for a few months but have decided as a server that its best to restart.

Because of the huge economy and lack of space in towny, we are resetting alpha and beta, as well as wiping the eco. You will be given meebles to start based on donor rank.

We know you may be shocked but we appreciate the ongoing support and look forward to rebuilding with you all

 

I was on twitch then noticed that KlutchGaming is streaming atm (not Klutch tho)
So I entered the stream and ended up in front of this picture

@KlutchDecals

 

I quit.
Will be on forums.
Might see me in game but I'm dead.
Goodbye

 

As you may or may not know, I have been playing on a citizen account for about a week. And tbh, it sucks.

To start with, nobody listens to you. Like if there's a debate going on in chat, a citizens opinion is basically never considered. But then if the same thing was to be posted on a ranked account, people automatically start to acknowledge it.

Also, any citizen who wants to get into pvp, might aswell not even bother.
To begin with, a large majority of people who pvp are Elite+, which means if you are good enough to kill them, all the stuff you get is /fix'd. Now yea, you can go fix it with diamonds, but you can fix it like once, if that. Most of the time, going to an anvil with armour that is fully broken after being /fix'd it says "Too Expensive". So instantly, instead of having to buy about 20 diamonds for around 10k, they have to go and buy some brand new armour and sword for like triple that price.
Yes /fix is a very large privilege in donating for Elite, it really doesn't make pvp fair and worth it at all for anyone who doesn't have elite.
And continuing on with the pvp problems, any good pvp'er who is a citizen is basically just going to get called a hacker. I went to kitpvp on my alt (baring in mind I'm not even that good) and was fighting people (mostly donors) and they just kept calling me a hacker. I think I counted about 6 different people hackusating in under 20 minutes. "F off you hacker", "Get lost stupid hacker". I then went on my ranked account and fought the exact same people, and guess what, they didn't say a word.
Like I know pvp isn't a very big part of the server, but still any citzen who wants to be involved in it will probably be scared away from the entire server with these problems.

Additionally, people basically just disrespect Citizens. Like the other day, I was typing in chat "/warp pvp!". Yes it may get annoying, but there really wasn't any need for the countless amounts of people (and let me add, all donors), spamming me to tell me to "shutup" or "get lost you citizen skrub". But then when I type "/warp pvp" on a ranked account, nobody says anything.

I'm not sure on what suggestions/improvements could go along side this but.. it kinda had to be said.

 

Hello Everyone! After my 4 month break i'm now returning to meep.

Finished my schooling and now I have lots of time to lay back and relax while I work.

I hope to make many more contributions to the community as I did before!

For anyone that doesn't know me i've been playing the server for around 3 1/2 years and am a Ex-Moderator.

Hope to see everyone again and meet some of the newer players!

 

why don't you have a seat right over there, Mr. Betro

 

Oh, I remember this thread!

I've changed quite a bit

 

I don't speak Canadian.
