1) Why did you buy Minecraft?2) Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:09 PM
1. I bought Minecraft because in college some friends and I put together a SMP server together. It was fun.2. Hopefully married. That's about all I know for the 10 year time frame. If I am lucky I will still be working for myself.

Will there ever be 1000 player games. If so, is it in the near future?Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:16 PM
It's still on the road map. Maybe we will get to it soon now that we are hiring more helping hands.Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:18 PM
Yeah it's on the great todo listPosted on 05 December 2015 - 03:05 PM
Where do you see Badlion this time next year?Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:16 PM
Hopefully starting to get close to peaks of 15-20k players (assuming MC is still around). Effectively we have grown our player base by 4x-5x each calendar year so far.Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:18 PM
We hope to break 10k before next summer or during next summer, but we don't know really to branch out since only UHC and Arena seem to be popularPosted on 05 December 2015 - 03:08 PM
What is the minimum age for mod? I'm interested in becoming an arena mod.Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:18 PM
We don't have a minimum age.You can apply here https://www.badlion.net/wiki/staff-applications
Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:20 PM
There is no minimum age, it's about maturityPosted on 05 December 2015 - 04:09 PM

My Questions:1. Will there be non cross team games where tab is coloured?
2. When will the next Arena PvP Season go live?
3. Can there be Uhc games where if it was a To2 and you were cross teamed and won you could win as a new team. So both teams get wins?
Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:20 PM
1. If you mean for UHC, probably not. It's a bunch of extra work on the server to handle and it will be confusing for people if there are two blue teams remaining.2. December 12th
3. No. We will never officially support cross-teaming on a plugin level
Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:21 PM
1. Color names are possible but we have way too many teams right now2. Dec 11
3. Maybe, but this encourages backstabbing for better teammates

Can I ask for each of your opinions on the recently cycled out OCN administration? What were your relationships with the old admins, and what do you know about the new ones?Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:21 PM
I think it's a wasted effort personally. The "new administrators" were already running the show. Now they just have a title to go with it.The only relationship I had was with MonsieurApple and that was good until I pointed out why his network was falling apart. He didn't like me much after that.
Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:28 PM
Pretty much what Gberry said, putting new faces in the community head doesn't change the development issue they have, unless the old admins were wrongly instructing the developers. Two of the new administrators were part of my ban from the community that I still see as biased as I was defending my server against blatant lies and everyone else involved didn't even receive a warning and I went straight from having no warnings (the only one I had was appealed) to a perma ban for a one line insult (that was accurate), so that doesn't make my ties with them very strong either.I honestly don't see them in very good light right now because I've promised the last year not to steal their gamemodes and then I see them all of a sudden going towards 5v5 (which we've been planning behind the scenes for a while) and approaching/trying to get our clans/teams that are from badlion or affliated with badlion. If they want to compete so be it though.

have you ever been recognized out in public like at the playground?( not including conventions)
Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:21 PM
No, because no one knows what I look like lolPosted on 05 December 2015 - 03:22 PM
No, I go to a school that doesn't have a single Badlion player (I checked the IP ranges of the dorms)Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:13 PM
What's the best part of running your own server?Posted on 05 December 2015 - 03:21 PM
Banning peasants and attempting to fight the cheating communityPosted on 05 December 2015 - 03:22 PM
Having something that I can say I made and is used by hundreds of thousands of players every month.
