Can you still make a 1.8 server?

[Brinille]

Again protocol hacks. 1.8 pvp is completely possible on newer versions; that's my point.

Just get no cheat plus lmao

that's a yikes, don't suggest something so bad fam D:

Ally has a point, and it doesn't have to have the protocol hacks to achieve this sort of pseudo-legacy combat.

In other peoples defense though, sometimes people just prefer the older versions. Take runescape for an example.

You pretty much summed it up. Like I said previously, any version after 1.8 to me is a waste of time to play. Appreciate though comment man.

The 1.7 community is dying; it's a proven fact. MineHQ & Lunar massively differ in playerbases even though they use the same files & have multiple of the same owners; they have the largest practice youtubers and still struggle to hit 1k players @ peak times.

1.8 on the other hand is a different story; skyblock & factions are still more than alive and kicking, maybe not at the same degree they once were but it's much better than having a competitive 1.16 network.

I still continue and enjoy to make 1.8 competitive skyblock, prison and faction networks, and I don't see the point of migrating to 1.16 when it's not completely dead and there's still players to be gained and money to be made. That's just my two sense though. [DOUBLEPOST=1615863739][/DOUBLEPOST]Zovichi

Thanks so much for the insight man. Honestly I thought for a while that 1.8 was dying for a while, as I didn’t see many new 1.8 servers. Would you say factions and kitpvp and possibly prison are still active?

 

[Zovichi]

Competitive prison without a doubt is still one of the most popular gamemodes, besides hypixel related games.

Servers like PvPWars, MCPrison & Vortex are still making hundreds of thousands per month/year.

In my opinion KitPvP like Becto, MCC & InvadedLands still have a very active and tightknit playerbase who enjoy the gamemode as a whole, bow boosting etc. If I were going to make a KitPvP network I'd try to base it off InvadedLands, seeing as that is one of the most popular atm.[DOUBLEPOST=1615864118][/DOUBLEPOST]Zovichi

Interesting. I’ll take a look and see what’s up. I appreciate the invite.

One thing I would be weary about when making factions servers, is that the community expects payouts these days.

Couldn't agree more with this statement. The community has definitely changed, that's for sure.

I mean new-gens and communities do that, If one server makes a payout of 2k and you're offering 0 while having side by side same features, why would a player grind the same amount of time for $0 when they're competitive spirit is invigored via winning money weekly.

Its actually not that bad just config it and he'll be fine

Ask the hundreds of thousands of players that play on Survival servers for no reason other than to have a good time lol. The payout system that's become the norm just made the entire Factions community toxic.

Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad thing to do, just makes it harder for new servers to compete.

yea and that's an entirely different community? Factions is a competitive aspect gamemode, how can you compare something that has 0 competitiveness, rivalry, etc? That's like comparing HCF/Factions to Towny ;P Just saying F Top has been a thing for quite a long time now, at least 4 years; I honestly think the HCF community is getting less toxic in comparison to like 1-2 years ago[DOUBLEPOST=1615885014][/DOUBLEPOST]

There's WAY better premium anti-cheats, only thing he'll be catching are blatant kill-aura, full anti-kb, flying type hackers, which just aren't common as ghost clients in the community he's looking to potentially make a server is in is all; there's a 100% no way any NCP config could catch a ghost client.[DOUBLEPOST=1615885188][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'd agree and disagree, it's always costed money to get a "decent server" up and running to compete with the big boys, just people lack the creativity, networking, and not answering the question from players of: "Why should I play your server, when all my friends, myself, have donated to this other server with a way bigger community, my favorite youtubers, my enemies/rivalries and allies, why should I even join your server?" if you had all the answers to that, you should be able to get an investor, you just have to have a somewhat extensive and solid long-term plan; yet most people can't even make a timeline for half a year ;/

People don't try to push the envelope or actually be creative anymore when there's still SO so much you could do in HCF / Factions just no-ones cared to do so. If ya don't believe me keep tabs on my server over the next year so I can make ya a believer

Hey y’all.

simple question: I was wondering if servers are still able to be 1.7.10/1.8 or just pvp servers in general. I don’t see a lot of pvp servers anymore, just survival and i have 0 interest in making a survival server.

Let me know your thoughts.

1.8 servers are kinda bad, they dont have newest blocks and else. So isnt that so normal to dont see any 1.8 servers

Agreed 100%.

Servers nowadays, are cat copies of others. There hasn't been too many super unique ideas in awhile. And even if a unique idea is up in the air, a bigger server such as Hypixel for example, has the opportunities to jump on it so much faster than a smaller server would.

Nonetheless, it's a lot of fun to create servers and I wish anyone and everyone a fun journey while doing so.
