This was a comment I made in response to POCAdmin about the current state of the game (making this a post so it gets more attention) please leave in the comments memories and experiences you had that would never happen in the current game.
" POCAdmin1, Dozens of people have already discussed what they missed and what they hate about the current state of the game and you either ignore them or say you'll consider it and never do anything about it.
You've already been told why it used to be better it's not us trying to act like boomers hating on the new generation. It's us who used to be some of the most active players genuinely sad about the game turning into a buggy mess where building is pointless because of all the resets grinding is to easy because of all the resets clans and battles don't mean anything because the economy is soooo busted anyways.
I already made a post about what you could do to keep the veterans happy and continue to be able to build the current game. Because at the end of the day bringing in new players doesnt mean much if you don't have an active player base.
There was once a time when people looked up and aspired to be legends the whole community would know like Raydermus and Kian and it was possible for anyone to achieve greatness and admiration.
Nowadays players spend their time role-playing at spawn or killing newbies outside of spawn because theres no reason to do otherwise. Why go mining if you can watch a few ads and get diamonds without the work? Why build bases if there gonna get reset because you didn't log in for a day? Why travel and explore if you can teleport wherever you want for free? Why make a clan if there's no active players and nothing meaningful to do with the clan? Why ride a horse if you can just tp and buy a speed potion instead? Why get enchantments if the combat barely works anyways?
It was thanks to the community that so many of us Veterans had fun but because of so many of the changes the community is fragments of what once was. The game has a deep rich and interesting lore made by the players but theres no more history being created anymore because new players have no reason to do feats like we did.
Veterans and clans move on and thats a good thing it allows others to take the spotlight but because of some changes you made we were shoved out with no players to replace us and no clans that come close to anything prior.
The game evolves yes but it should involve into something better there should be clans more notable then Bløød, RFE, and GHE. Players that have done more than me, Kian, TUO, Raydermus, Modz, and Batu im sad that none of those things have come to fruition and that the game lies as a pathetic husk of a once great game.
We the players fought, raged, backstabbed, lied, cheated, used racial slurs, and insulted each other. But at the end of the day we had fun being a part of the community I always respected and admired Kian but I still wanted someone to one up him so I could rub it in his face. I liked Modz but always thought he was mentally retarded, TUO showed me kindness and compassion, and so many others helped make the community of this game something you would play for. Without the community of this game nothing that happened in the good ol days would have ever happened and it pains me that new players can't have the experiences we had.
I hope I explained my point of view, thank you all!"
Exploration hardly exists in PoC Survival Multiplayer anymore...the generation isn't randomly generated like Singleplayer is. Therefore, nothing is hardly new, except my recent discovery, which i wont tell anyone about...it is useless until the next update.
This is perfectly said Luis, the Forum community, the clans, and the history made along the way with it's combination of being a Survival sandbox game was what made me so into PoC in the first place, but with the major bugs, the annoying and/or harmful update features (such as spawnzone PvP), the resets of many of the historically significant builds, and the inflation of items from the in-game shop, and literally being able to buy creative mode-like items such as spawn eggs and elytras (with no real challenging or legit way of obtaining them otherwise), and admins almost never addressing problems unless tons of people tell at them to do so has definitely fragmented the community, and removed the unique aspect of a Survival sandbox based clan-lore game from PoC and left it in a far worse state.
Yeah reset the server and remove harm and ench
All the people made this game unique.
