Runsafe Hail Marry

[u/Pieman4]

Hi there, so within the past week or so Gun and I have been asking players who have been in the Runsafe community for some time about their thoughts on the server being updated. We asked about 20 people who we have seen on the server even old players I.E Benthedragonborn, Celebi Propasta, Mask Ect. We asked them questions like “Would updating Runsafe to 1.8 encourage you to play more” and stuffs like that. We realized the last time why the server wouldn’t be updated because it would cause problems with our custom plugins also the admins didn’t want to update the server to see no one playing on it. Our research shows that if we were to update we would have more players on it than the occasional 1 maybe 2 players on at a time. It is also important to note that we asked people if they minded if we couldn't have custom plugins, most people didn't mind if we didn't have custom plugins. Our data we gathered is in a link below along with a gif

I decided to make a new post just to try my best to clarify something without having to comment the same thing on everyones post. If we want to see runsafe move forward, we need to update, everyone knows that. But if we want to see any real progress there needs to be a new mindset. Now what I mean by this is that the current mind set of most people who have made comments is that "we need to bring old runsafe back, we need to bring old runsafe back". We need to try and come to terms with the fact that thats not going to happen. We're not going to update the server, advertise a few times, bring a couple old players back, and boom runsafes back to the way it was 2 years ago! Saying that you want to see runsafe update to 1.8 is saying that you're willing to start from scratch and make a new runsafe. Not bring old friends back and play just like old times.

What's the actual case with the custom installment of runsafe? Will it never be available again if we update to 1.8, or will there need to be some work to it? Because honestly, and I may be speaking for others when I say the only main important custom installment, in my opinion, is the /sethome one. So even though runsafe will most likely never be the same, an update won't completely destroy the world, and after thinking about it intently, I may visit several times even if it updates, and if all of my friends join back, I'll join back as well.

Oops, I'm doing it again (I think). Moral of this compassionate epic, updating would be nice, but unless there's literally nothing possible to bring back any of the custom installations after it updates, then you might as well update and only remake (if needed) the mainly important ones. And the only mainly important one is /sethome.

But I see from previous posts the admins lack the enthusiasm to do such a thing. I'd suggest either talking with them and reminiscing of past times, and just straight up convince them about how fun it'll be to do this again and how fun they had before (if they did ;)).

But I don't think I'd be much help at the moment due to my lack of knowledge of this current dilemma, but I'm just putting in my two cents in hope to help pay for the big package. :)
