I Want To Play MeepCraft Again, But I Can't. (No I'm not banned)

Hello all, it's Owen Powell. I used to be an extremely dedicated Meepcrafter, going through all of the rituals that popular players would go through. I owned a metropolis, donated to get elite, and even served as a Helper in late 2014. I loved this server dearly. It was exactly what I was looking for on the Internet since before some of you younger players were even born, a virtual world where you could build your niche in an amazing community. Despite the great things that were on this server, I eventually decided I had to leave. I realized I was getting older, I was almost an adult, and I had to get my life started. I wanted to get a head start on my career of choice, being a musician. Meep was holding me back from writing lyrics, because I'd spend all my time here, instead of on a Google document, typing away. I did unofficially quit in early 2015, save for a couple of days in the latter half of that summer. During that period, my lyricism improved exponentially, because I spent so much more time cultivating it. Now, I've written lots of songs and I feel like I can take a break from it for some time, my brain needs to relax for a little while. So I thought to myself "Hmm, why not play some Meepcraft again". But then, I ran into a problem. It's too time consuming. I enjoyed operating my town, and I want to do that again. But with the initial starting price, upkeep, and cost of building materials, I'll have a hard time doing so, because earning Meebles is a challenge, especially for someone with a lifestyle like mine. I'm going to pursue music still, so there'll extended periods of time I won't be able to be online to get the money, and I'm a high-school student, so that'll also take up a good chunk of my time. Plus, I have somewhat of a social life, which would cut into some of my Meep time. There is gambling, which is obviously risky and I would probably end up doing too much and losing money, due to my fairly addictive personality. The only other option is being wealthy in real life and buying Meebles, which I am not. I'm in the middle class, I live with a single mother. I strive to climb high on the socio-economic ladder, but that will take time, time that I can't spend on Meep. Some could say I'm being too demanding, that I don't need to own a decent town to have fun. And for some people, that's the case. For me, however, it's not. To get the best experience I can, I need to have a sufficient amount of control over whatever I'm doing, and a town gives me just that. I can have more creative freedom with the space that I live in, and that's one of the nice things about owning a town on this great server. I'd love to rejoin this place, build myself a nice town, and interact with the awesome community. The problem is Meepcraft isn't super accessible to people like me, Middle-class kids who are shaping their lives and want a virtual place to hang out for a little while.

 

Hey welcome back

Things have changed here. You aren't able to buy meebles anymore and also a bunch of perks like /fly and /fix were removed due to the EULA. Town prices were decreased to 150k with 50k going into the town bank. There are quite a few ways to earn money now like Parkour, voting which gets you 2k per website or even a bonus disguise note or 25k or 50k. /jobs is also good too. You don't need to start a town, just come online and join a town and see how you go and if you feel you are up for the challenge, take it.

Anyways, I hope you had a nice break and wish you well for the future

 

Thanks! And I read about "Custom blocks" on the EULA thread. What are those?

 

Those haven't come out yet, I got no idea what they are but some of the gadgets have already come out which are pretty neat

 

If you don't want to build your new town in Beta, I can get you a nice house to stay in for free. Either way, welcome back! I'm one of the noobies compared to a lot of the people around here.

 

Thanks! I can stay there until I get the money to start a town.

 

Alrighty! Unfortunately, I cannot get on right now, but the town is Dreamcraft. The whole town went tax-free back in January, which really helps all the new players I deal with. When I'm on, you'll usually find me in Beta or Tutorial, haha.

 

ey bud, glad to see you back.

In case you don't know who this is, this is exodus.

 

oh
