Wynncraft And New Ideas

Wynncraft is four years old now and I know this for certain because I joined when it immediately came out, and with this I felt it was time to propose my ideas I have been holding in. Wynncraft like any old server is suffering the crisis of a dwindling player base which has actually been pretty strong since it first came out four years ago but I feel I have an idea to bring in new people, this idea revolves around implementing themselves as mini-games on other servers and letting people play as guests instead of a full account who actually log in to the main server sort of giving them a taste to the Wynncraft world because it isn't as spread as when it was initially released. Another idea is to have different tasks and things to do that can aid the player in different ways than just equipment such as weapons and armor, these ideas would be skills such as; herblore, crafting, and/or adventuring, these don't have to be the exact skills but I think it's a foundation to the idea so it can b easily built upon. Honestly I just want the game to feel healthy with a player base that isn't dwindling and new ideas actually going into it.

TL;DR
Summary-
-Wynncraft poses as a mini-game on other servers and allow people to play as guests on the main server
-Skills basically anything that can aid the player and they have something else to do

 

The CT are pretty busy with working there asses off to push out new updates. Not to mention the devs are probably living in coder hell right now.
Expanding to new servers is not a option currently, and plus I doubt other servers would be like "Sure, go advertise your server on ours!"

It isn't to hard to get log into a minecraft server though, it literally takes 10 seconds, so if a player were to see a add for the game, let's say on planet minecraft, they would be like 'okay', and ten seconds later they are playing it.

Wynn isn't losing to many players, just a lot of the veterans are leaving

Potions already do these things, as for achieving these from sidequests, there used to be these, but they were removed.

which is fucking the eco?

 

How long have you been playing, because clearly our king up there doesn't understand that if the veterans leave and no one comes in to take there place that this will end Wynn forever.

 

The main reasons why Wynncraft is dying are due to the lack of updates and the lack of relevancy minecraft is experiencing right now. Because of how Wynncraft works, it takes at least 4+ months to release a major update and major bug fixes cannot be pushed separately. This is especially crippling when you advertise your server as an MMORPG and there are other better servers. As problems just sit there, the game becomes very stale and boring. Now usually, the old players would just be replaced new ones via YouTube. However, since various other youtubers have already tried Wynncraft and minecraft is starting to slow down after nearly 7 years on YouTube, it’s unlikely we are going to get new players.

There’s nothing really that can be done about it. Especially not suggested ideas.

 

Friend all that you just said was quitter talk, this game can be saved Minecraft isn't just because Youtube doesn't push it and if it was it's the stale and repetitive nature of all these mini-game servers with basically the same mini-games, with Wynncraft's uniqueness it just needs people to see it for them to realize they are getting a different experience since it is the largest PvE experience Minecraft has to offer as of now it just needs different gameplay or additional gameplay.

 

If you look up Wynncraft on YouTube, most series and YouTubers are dead or barely have any views. The reason why minecraft exploded was mostly because of YouTube. I remember watching the Yogscast and how quickly they became popular because of minecraft. It wasn’t until a few years ago that YouTube changed their algorithm that the Yogscast, as well as other major minecraft YouTubers (like Antvenom), began to dwindle. MatPat did a whole video about if you want to check it out.

Look, my point is that Wynncraft can’t rely on YouTube anymore, especially since it’s been done before and it’s not as appealing as other major servers like Hypixel. Furthermore, we can’t just get new gameplay and features because of how Wynncraft works and how long updates take.

 

Code refactor? I know it's a ways off, but if what they say is true, then updates taking forever shouldn't be as much of an issue in the future.

And while I'm not a big fan of this suggestion, I do have to agree with @Ben Frank to which we're being just a little bit pessimistic here.

 

We aren't a mini game server tho

 

Sums it up

 

???

 

Just because we get better coding doesn’t mean that updates will come faster. The main issues are the fact the CT is made of unpaid volunteers across different time zones and that minecraft limits what they can do, like adding custom mob models (Like in mods). Given that they have been working on the code refractor since the Gameplay update and havent given any updates on it, I doubt it will be finished any time soon.

 

I mean, for this update, it's been confirmed the CT is not the issue

 

I think you're confusing refactor with update 1.17. They aren't one in the same.

 

We really don’t know anything about the update other than the code refractor is currently underway and they are testing the update.

 

no
just
no
WHY WOULD WE WANT TO SELL OURSELVES TO HYPICKLE
also this is a gamemode, not minigame

still no because we dont wanna sell to hypickle

 

Every single one of you are literally ignoring Wynncraft's dwindling player count which could be solved incredibly easy but no they're selling their soul to hypickle, if you actually read what I said I said Wynncraft makes a system for guests for the mini-games on other servers and people go to the actual server to play the main server if they like it next time read and actually care for something you like and don't want to die.

 

Well, there's multiple things wrong about this statement. A: How is every single person ignoring the dwindling player count. People mostly just gave real criticisms on why this idea wouldn't work. No one said that Wynncraft doesn't need this idea because they aren't losing players besides @King Kaelan. B: This also wouldn't be incredibly easy, as you would have to find a willing server, that's also large enough to bring in players, along with having a fanbase that would match this one so we don't get 12 year olds flooding the forums with spam. C. Also, selling our soul to Hypickle would be a rather accurate description of your idea, as you are suggesting that we partner with another server so that they have a portal or something to access our server. That would make our server seem like a small version of our server, and there's not much benefit for the other server if we do this (unless we advertise their server on Wynncraft but that would kinda ruin the RPG feel...), so we might actually have to pay them to advertise us there.

Now, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with you posting your ideas, but your statement just implies that we're being idiots and ignoring what you are saying.

 

so i am a spammer now

 

No, you're an Illuminati spammer. But honestly, most 12 year olds on Wynn seem to be pretty mature or intelligent.
