The other day, I was bored. Like REALLY bored. So I decided to go to the spawn and talk to the noobs. Just as I warped in, someone was shouting, "Why won’t anyone answer me!" I don’t remember his name; it was some random jumble of letters and numbers. I responded "Hey, I’m here, can I help you?" he then asked were he could go to build and create and all that shiz. I politely showed him a place that was fairly deserted were he could mine a few dirt and cobble and make a nice little house. I liked this kid, but he was kinda P.O. because his first impression of the server was that everyone ignored the noobs. I explained to him the channels, and he lightened up. So, I came up with an idea.

My idea is that instead of having the default channel set to Local for when you first ever spawn in the game, have it set to global. I know that the channels are listed on the signs for noobs to read, but who really reads them the very first time they come in? Well the answer is very few. I didn’t even read them for the first time until like 2 weeks after I joined. The reason why I think that the default channel is better as Global is because players get a good first impression of the server, which means a lot. They will be answered by other players, instead of shouting and yelling, then leaving because they don’t like the server. I think it will not only increase players play on the server, which I’m sure optical would like, it might also make the more trustworthy. I’m not saying to make them trusted right away, I mean they would have a smaller chance to grief or spam because they would like the server.

I realize that Optical may not have the power to set the default channel, but I don’t know that. I’m going to hope that he does have the power to do that, if we decide that Global should be the default channel.

Thank you for reading this, and please share your ideas/comments.

I've recently played on a different server. I just wanted to see how many people agree with me, just stick with this server. Other servers are emitting bullsh*t compared to this rainbow in heaven, correct?  

Dear opticalza,
on April 2nd, u banned me, and i ssumed it was for them spamming i had recently done. in the ban description, it said "1d ban" and im assuming that means 1 day, but after messeging logan5353, he said that you had banned me permanatley. i have some slight arguments for that. 1. this is my first offence for this server, and i have friends that can prove it. (scoobygoo2, kyledert_23, BrightFlight, BetaOmega) 2. everyone else that spams gets a one day ban, so why should i get a permanent ban? 3 when things go wong i dont bug moderators about it, i wait. i also try to help people and be as nice as possible. i dont think that a permanent ban is fair, nor good for publicity, especially in my case. so, my word to you opticalza, is pleaselook into it, i love the server and i have prospered so much, i would hate to give it up
