I would make the server how it was back in 2013, and ban rp's from C2 because players on C2 hate Rp's.
i would something like this but keep a world download for public from the survival. I now some factions that have put a TON of effort in their build projects. Also i would wait with updating up until optifine 1.9 comes out (so my potato powered laptop can handle it) And after that i'll give it back because i'm scared of people o_O
I mean.. I guess... but I really enjoyed it and I met a player while playing mob arena that invited me to their faction.. If it wasnt for mob arena or that player I met, I wouldnt even be playing on the server now:) I really enjoy factions and the entire Itsjerryandharry server :D
