Boy is the server end date a hot topic
I´m conflicted about this from both sides. I Would love to see a fixed and known end date. And i believe not having one has a negative influence on players towards the end of a revision.
However i understand perfectly that this is very difficult to commit to. This server is run by volunteers and the plugins we use are also the work of people committing their free time. Not to mention the amount of time going into a big build like spawn. Let alone having to worldbuild a custom map.
But what if we made a rule that a new rev always has a minimum announcement time of two months? That way if someone ask us in chat right now how long the rev will last we can say. AT LEAST two more months. That gives everyone much more clarity and certainty opposed to not knowing anything, without having to commit to a fixed end date. And when we get the announcement that the revision is going to end in ± 2 months nothing has to suddenly stop at that point. Its the perfect kick off point for end of rev builds, contests and tournaments.
It could of course also be a one month rule. That is up for debate.
I would love to know what everyone thinks about this.
