My Life: Episode 2

Welp, personal stuff has led to a strict limit on the computer. That means no server reviews until June 19. Sorry.

Creative Mindz

Yep, I'm back and wait until you hear this. I've joined many servers so I can post often, and by far this is the worst one I can think of. Creative Mindz is a creative server as the name implies. The members there are very secluded, you either know them or they don't talk. This isn't a big problem, especially if you want to be left alone and just build. The mechanics are the problem. This is the only server that I've played that makes you need to get whitelisted, besides a RPG server. This means I can build anything, that doesn't need lava, TNT, or the most dangerous of all... Water. You also can't TP, or /sethome until you get whitelisted. These are all to stop greifing, which I can understand. That is until you get griefed by the staff and owner. I was building a town with a friend, and the most lovely thing happened. When I returned to the server an admin and the owner worked together to grief my conductor tower that my friend built. Not only that but they also destroyed my land, and placed the dirt in random places.

My Life: Episode 1

Well here's what's going on in my life. I just finished the NJ A.S.K test so I have more time in my hands to look at servers, and I'm punished so the amount of activity I do will be scarce and limited. I'll try to post often, but no promises. Why I'm punished you may be asking, well I decided to take a shower in the morning before I left for school. Now I'm punished. Moral of the story, stop trying to be clean, if you do you get punished.

Blast Studios

Sorry for being late. I was busy playing Blast Studios. I was quick to judge and it effected their grade. To start off I think I should begin with saying how often I will be posting. I've been doing every other day, well that's not enough time to test a server and I think I'll be doing it every week. Give or take a day. Now onto the server... Blast Studio is actually a very fun Factions Server. The sad thing is, staff is almost never on. Personally, I won't keep playing if the staff won't at least check-in. The few (if any) times the staff come one, they meddle in things that we don't want to have effected. Such as, they have /warps for the End and the Nether, the staff have made two different spawns for them. Both take up to much space and block off the points to them. I had to dig a tunnel just to get into the Nether, and the End. Don't even get me started. That took all the land to make the End spawn, and the one bridge doesn't even lead to more land. It just leads to an Enderman spawner. So if you want to fight the Ender Dragon you'll have to find a different server. The members are more then nice and pleasentbut there are the few. There is a certain faction that just so happens to have grieffed me twice on my first day, and raided my friends. Then there is also a certain member that if joining factions, then when everyone leaves, obliterates the entire base then leaves. This is one reason it took me so long to finish this review. I had to carfully plan out how to grade it, with this major factor. So I have made a fair conclusion for the grade.

Extra Note: I will still be playing this server. You can't be in my Faction, but you can be apart of my allies.

Blast Studios is a Factions Server. All seemed fair and good until... Well I'll tell you tomorrow.

IronCross

Where do I even begin with IronCross. How about the fact that it takes FOREVER to get out of the prison. There are two areas to gain money from. The Nursery; where you just chop down wood, and the Mine; you just gather Cobblestone, Iron, and Coal. Both of these are awful. Iron ingots sell for $22, that's the most expensive things to sell. Wouldn't be so bad if it didn't cost $15000 to buy your freedom. And if you want a place to rest after all that mining, well jst head into your dorm. Oh wait, they cost money to stay in them for 3 days. Not only that, but it also cost money to feed yourself. Let's head out of the money issue and head into the PvP issue. The hall, and dorms are both PvP. So if you want to have a nice walk you better do it in the Nursery. The safe places are Spawn, the Mine and Nursery, the Mess Hall (No Free Food), and the Shop. Then they act like they're giving you a bone by having a public chest. There is nothing to put in them, unless you have a thing for Iron. Besides that, the members are awful. I've personally have had my Iron stolen becuase I wanted to try and buy my freedom. Not only that, but the staff won't intervine and give you your stuff back. The staff will even go to their lengths to try and make it harder to get free. Now I don't have much experince with prison servers, but I can tell you this one is a waste of time.

Upcoming: IronCross

Hey guys, I won't be doing a server test today mainly because I spent all day testing out a prison Server called IronCross. Now I don't know much about prison servers but let me tell you I did not have an enjoyable experience. Complete review will be out tomorrow.

MineCraft Hunger Games

Most if not all of you should know about the MineCraft Hunger Games server. Well it just wouldn't be right if I didn't do a test of it, even if all of you played it. Before I begin, I have to tell you. I tested the server with my friend Kate. (QtheOmnipotent.) We'd played as a team which is the best way to play the MineCraft Hunger Games server, but you all know that. Now unlike most Hunger Games, this is played with up to 100 players, and blocks can be broken. Not only that but you also don't start out with chests. Chests do make an apperence in "Feast" and "Mini-Feast", both of which I have never gotten. I'm not sure what they are filled with, but I do know that they do have Diamond weapons and armor, and in the Feast an Enchanting Table does apper. I'm guessing, but it is obvious, that there is food there. Staff don't inforce rules! Cursing, advertising, spam, etc. aren't allowed, but they do happen. This can be an inconvenience, especially if you're younger and don't want to be exposed to that. Further on, you can pick kits to have to start things off. In the beginning you get 3 defult kits that change over time. You can only choose form these three. They are plenty of other kits, but they MUST be bought. For those that  do buy kits it's almost an unfair advantage for those who can't afford, or refuse to buy kits. The stronger, better kits are most likely going to always need to be bought and this can be annoying as they are way to over-powering. Don't let this stop you though. As I said, having a team boosts the fun and makes it easier to win. In my opinion, this game is fun and unique, but the kits create an imbalance that is hard to overlook.

Cookie Slap

Today I went on the Cookie Slap server. As the name implies, the point of the game is to slap people with an enchanted cookies and gain points. This can be tedious for most, as the constant hitting can cause lag and make it as if you never hit the person, and if you get hit yourself then you get flung with the power of three TNT. (Give or take.) Although it's quite annoying to be hit, it does offer quite the challenge. Heading to the mechanics, Cookie Slap offers to different arenas to fight in, these arenas then break off into 8 different sub-arenas. All offer different maps to play on, most built by users themselves. When in an arena they can range from 5 to 50 players on. And some maps aren't built to be a fighting arena. Some are races, in which all players have to use all their parkour skills in order to reach the "Hill" which in reality is a diamond block. By reaching the Hill you are givin a complete set of golden armor; that doesn't stop any damage, and your cookie is replaced with suger, which lights people on fire when hit. Besides the prestigious title as "King of the Hill" and the all mighty suger you are gain 5 points every few seconds. Once again, not all maps are like this, but they aren't rare. Cookie Slap does offer more then just slapping people with a glowing cookie. The do have two other games to play. One is the Dungeon, sadly I need to be a Donator to play it and couldn't test it out. It won't be this way forever though, it's just in Beta version. The other game is Build. It's basiclly Creative Mode, utterly useless though. For one to protect your building you need t add a sponge block, simple. That is until someone places a sponge on a mountain and makes it unusable to everyone else. And if you forget to the place a sponge... greifers will not take pity.
 

 A few extra notes. If you want to change games quickly you can /server, and if you want to skip the map you're on then do /skip. Finally, there is also a Lounge (Donator only, sorry) and a Spleef game that I didn't play mainly because I don't enjoy Spleef games. It did look very fun though, so don't have me be the thing stopping you from grading.
