Hey all, my names Fatratking in game but my characters name is Zid. It's also my real life nickname, so feel free to refer to me as such. I've been playing on the Massivecraft server for a little over a month and in that time, i've solidified my friendship with the friends who I originally came here to rp with, as well as made more than a few new friends. I've even been considering getting some of the folks from my gaming guild to come in and check the place out.
The main thing I was considering doing was contributing to the server by picking up a subscription. After all, I know it takes a lot of work to run a server like this, and that's time and effort put in by people who are doing a mostly thankless task for little to no reward beyond the satisfaction of having done a good job and made a few people happy and maybe picked up a few new friends along the way.
That's why this latest factions update has me a tad upset. Specifically, the mobs spawning inside faction borders. I'm part of a well maintained and carefully cultivated vampire faction. We put a lot of work into our faction, and we're especially proud of the work we've done as far as our home is concerned. While we might not be a giant faction, we've spent an enormous amount of time carefully constructing our faction home. Redstone torches and careful placement of what few torches we use has created a certain gloomy moodiness that most everyone who has visited our home has gone nuts over.
That's why it's disturbing that now we have to worry about losing a lot of the effect we've worked hard for due to mobs just spawning inside anywhere. Our non-vampire daywalkers will be under constant threat and we would have to be careful who we invited. The impact on our rp will be tremendous as well, seeing as bright lights everywhere is hard to ignore as a vampire. We pride ourselves on our contributions to the community via our roleplaying, we love helping people get into the setting and server and we'de really love to continue doing so but right now, the lack of an option to turn the mob spawning off within the faction is having a very detrimental effect on our morale. I would really hate to see my faction fall apart and would hate to see the server lose our support, both community/rp wise and via the loss of donations.
Won't you please consider giving us the option to turn mobs off within factions? I'm sure we won't be the only ones to sincerely appreciate it.
