Cube test server

[Mr_Riolu_]

Hello, Lucario or Eevee with another suggestion! My suggestion is to add a test server, a whole diffrent server for testing beta cubecraft game content. This will be for testing new game ideas and new games. To be able to join the beta test server is to have lapis rank or above. It will have all the cube lobbys, yet it'll have new lobbys in development. Lobbys will change the info borads to show what's new. This way everyone will know what to expect.

This is my idea for helping developers with developing games with more input on if it's good or not.

Iron and Stone ranks will feel left out.

i would make it available to all donator ranks

This will increase donations to join the beta server :)

it would have to be for everyone unless you want the eula to use the blacklist hammer on cubecraft.

Well that's one obvious conclusion I reach when I made that comment. I mean a Lapis rank is $24.99 or something like that, I don't remember. Heck, a Iron rank is $15. I'm sure there are people out there who would be willingly to spend money on ranks, I would to. Except I for one have very little need of a rank and not having the excess of money. Why not make an entrance pass at least something like $5 or something? That sounds more reasonable to me.

No. The EULA dosn't care about this. You are allowed to have to pay to join a server.

yes but not to a specific part of a server. You can restrict a complete server to only be for donors but a game or different server in there must be accesiblr to everyone...

I love this idea but i have a few questions
A) Won't this be against the EULA?
B) Would it be a completely different server OR just a bonus 'Game' in the compass only donater ranks can join?
I understand only Beta-Games will be on there to make it fair and when it is done you release it to the public
EDIT: I know Hypixel has this but shouldn't CC have some sort of Survey regarding the game you just played and was it good or not

From what I see, there isn't really any official thread on what the players think about the game mode. Though there are couple on the quality of the maps. Yet, most of these game modes are very much enjoyed considering the amount of players in each lobby and such. And occasionally people will create their own survey and such :P. I guess an official feedback would be useful, but most of the game modes have been around for a while.

I wasn't talking about ALL gamemodes just the games in the "Beta-Test Server" where you select options that best describes your experience and maybe 1 page where you can write what you wish for them to add/remove

I honestly think this should be invite only. (Aka people active on the forums)

Maybe this could work too...

Since its a completely different server you are allowed to sell access to it I believe https://mojang.com/2014/06/lets-talk-server-monetisation-the-follow-up-qa/

Actually, Mojang does allow P2P (Pay to Play), there are no rules about that and it's even written on here.

However, Mojang doesn't allow servers to be P2W (Pay to Win), this way ALL members have minor differences between the stone rank and donators what makes the game alot more enjoyable for people that aren't donators.

Back on topic. I personally think this is great, but it has to be balanced. It would be great if the community would have the chance to test out new things. Having this would cause quite alot controversy between members because everyone has different opinions. Head-admins should message members via the site and ask them if they want to test out a new gamemode, plugin or even a new feature added to see if they like it or if it's bugged. NIce idea though :D

If the server is accoiated with cubecraft and you can only join it with a donor rank it would be like a donor lobby. The eula doesnt like that.

Beside this being against the EULA, CubeCraft likes to keep suspense and likes to give people surprises, having a test server or a beta server ONLY for donation ranks, which in my opinion is very bad, it will take out the suspense and all the surpise that CubeCraft want's to give to their fellow players.

Well, here's the issue. If they add something that lots of people agree with, then it turns out it sucks, they completely wasted their time. If they had a test server then when people suggest it, if it's complete garbage then it doesn't affect the actual sever. Yes, having it for ranks is a bad idea and againsed the EULA.

It is not against the EULA, it is allowed to be P2P (Pay to play)
