Why do you play Loka?

[Cryptite]

Just a nice, short and sweet poll. The more people we can get to vote here the better feel we can get for the reason we have most of our players. I know Raiding is gone, basically, but it wasn't in the before-time and some people came here for raiding, hence why it's an option.

Choose two!

Wish I can choose all

Wish I can choose all

Pretty much. I have been on the server for over two years and I just love it. I literary started playing Loka the day I got Minecraft, so I was a fresh mind for the server to mold. Loka helped me become the person I am today, and I will never give up on the server no matter what problems it has today. Crypt gave me the Gift of Endurance for a reason and I will always honor and cherish it.

I also joined the same day I got minecraft... And it made me who I am, I'm also not going to quit. Too bad I couldn't be there to get the gift of endurance though

I got Minecraft a few months before joining Loka, but until I found this server over two years ago, I barely had a reason to play the game. Loka has impacted my real life in so many ways, and I too will never quit. I will also, Laz, never forget the honour I felt when being given the Gift of Endurence.

You can only vote for two but community is a third reason I'm still here after 4 years. The others are towns and raiding, though mostly towns now obviously. I really enjoy the freedom to build whatever I might imagine whether it's a structure, a landscape, or a redstone machine. It's not so simple on other servers (or lag free).

 

[Artagan]

None of the above.

 

[Cryptite]

None of the above.

So why then?

 

[Ronshaud]

None of the above.

So why then?

Yes, please explain.

People have joined this server for many reasons. I joined this server only a few months after Magpie on the first map. However, loka has changed into something far from the Artifact that earned my loyalty all those years ago. I keep hanging on hoping that loka would reclaim some of its former glory. However, this might just be the ramblings of a nostalgic old fool.

 

[Kobeyador]

Wouldnt people like danger of the raiding and tnt cannons?

I prefer the possibility of raids/raiding. Even if that means tnt cannons/ piston machines. However, some people who enjoy just building hates the idea of having to put up ugly tnt/piston proof walls up.

If those were brought back, I hope Crypt implements something like the walls will rebuild itself after so and so minutes of the raid

I'd say after 3 hours? Raids can take a while and it'd be annoying to have the walls regening mid-raid.

 

[Lazuli73]

One look at Dellsmite and you can say with effort cannon-proof walls can look nice (ego-stroke). The problem shouldn't be that they look bad, the problem should be that they take forever to build and with the lack of obsidian generators in 1.8 they will take even longer.

 

[Grubul]

Too easy= too quick to achive and becomes boring = less time on loka = less players

 

[Kobeyador]

I actually would like to see the possibility to place explosive charges(tnt) that would "break blocks" for breaching town walls. However, have the "Broken blocks" replaced with intangible versions of the clear blocks used when placing tgens/structures. This allows for those blocks to not be destroyed and allows them to be repaired after a "repair period".

Originally I joined with a friend, who brought another friend, with the idea that we'd build ourselves a town hidden in a mountain somewhere. Long story short they got bored after day 1 and I was left to do as I pleased. At first there didn't seem to be much to hang around for, but the community kept me there and brought me back after my little 2-3 month absence. Some people were pretty friendly, I could have a little chat with them and the like, and that was nice. Hanging around more, I got involved in some of the PvP games a few times, VOTA and that sort of thing, and found those to be pretty enjoyable. Those sorts of games create a nice little zone where I can go 'all-in' with my fighting in a way which is competitive but lacks the antagonism of shanking one another in the 'real' Loka world. So I have fun, partly because of PvP, partly because of the folk in the community.

I've began playing on the artifact because it was a vanilla PVP server with no limitations towards killing, stealing and destroying homes of others. It has been very exciting to try and survive in a completely wild environment with no rules and with all the freedom you can get. As it has turned out, it was even more exciting to do it together with other players.

Loka today has much more rules in regards to everything, but it has kept its charm of collective survival. It no longer has the feeling of a dangerous place that the artifact was, but it has attracted new people into the mix and they would probably not enjoy that atmosphere as much as i did. I've stayed to see the community grow and town system expand, but, to me, without some form of competitiveness Loka might become pretty stale. Well, there's always hope for the new world.

I also have to finish at least one goddamn project i've set out to do.

I play on Loka (exclusively) because it is simply awesome. Building is fun! I like turtles!
