FEEL FREE TO COMMENT; THOUGH READ ENTIRELY
You know, normally I would save my energy and not create a post regarding time spent on the server, though sincerely playing since 2015 I have really thought about how long I have been playing for and the reasons behind why. Firstly lets get started with how it began, I joined the server somewhere late 2015, possibly November-December. The server around this time was freshly started, couple of months by my understanding and simply was unusual. Everything was not setup correctly; though given the time that this server released and the era it was in we can all say that it was never thought of been to be properly made.
I was pretty clueless; around this time I had only been playing Minecraft for a few years and I had a pretty reputable experiences with past servers I had joined previously. I joined SchoolRP to manually escape and set aside my bareness reeling in from the Real Life world. I found myself a skin on Skindex and got started; began "Roleplaying" even though at the time it was mainly just chatting, yelling, improperly playing the game. I remember that there was this park almost in the center of the spawn, and I had enjoyed running around it for hours. This was the very spot I met my few friends which I am still in contact with today. We would eventually get in a Skype call and talk for hours and hours, simply just messing around and fooling with others on the server. We would rush into the girls dorm rooms and run out; go to the KFC and beg for food.
Further down the road we all decided to take a break as our fun had depleted. Entirely I thought nothing of it; just a normal server that I had joined, lost interest in, and would eventually forget about. That was not the case as a couple years later I found myself rejoining. Around this time the server itself has changed drastically. The map changed into a proper school and a map; something to really work with. Now this map my favorite spot was the Dojo. The Dojo was this pvp-zone which everyone would scatter around, and trample onto each-other in, and it was actually quite fun. During this time I decided to develop my pvp skills which I had; eventually I was able to climb the "Reputable" ranks. All that meant was no one wished to hop onto the dojo map because I was on. Though cosmetics were an issue; set aside the fact they gave us sticks, players found a glitch where you could obtain an axe through cosmetics. This was ground-breaking as you could easily kill someone. They added onto all of the problems by making a rule where if you died in the Dojo (dojo mat) you would lose all of your money, and items. This made it extremely risky to pvp and or have fun ever again.
They removed this; though also removed the dojo shortly after which made it a quite sad memory. I had a lot of fun on SchoolRP during those years, and many would claim they were the "Golden Years" truly they were. My personal opinion regards in the fact I find SchoolRP unredeemable. I am not hating on SchoolRP as I have played on it for countless years, parting from the fact that I have left and rejoined. I just simply find SchoolRP to have been in a rough spot for the past couple of years. I find it to of lost its spark.
I still join the server time-to-time and play on it. Though I am not attached to it, and I cannot find myself playing it for hours on end. I do keep up-to-date on updates, and changes made; though clearly some changes stated previously were never made nor are thought to of been made. I have left all of the discord servers though; and currently am only active on the forums.
The reasoning for this post is to express myself; no hate, no negativity. Just to let out my current opinion and thought about SchoolRP's current state, and how it compared to previously. I do not want to see "Well the reasoning is..." or any nonsense in the comments. I understand; and I am not going for that form of opinion-viewed.
