@DevSlashNulled What do I do if I get to the processing screen and then it just redirects me to the website but doesn't say it went through. Am I gonna get charged 10 times later on if I keep trying, or..?

@not_mynes Lux was taken so... >:/

Just my boring old MC username

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@Simon_Hypixel Honestly, I think there's probably a lot of bots that went and grabbed up as many usernames as possible. Worried we might see people trying to sell accounts with the names people want. @Simon_Hypixel are there any plans to take action against accounts that do this?

@Simon_Hypixel Day 1 and someone sniped me already. Been waiting years and missed my chance😭

@Simon_Hypixel @Hytale January 8th would be a nice birthday gift to me lol

@UnjoyedMC @Simon_Hypixel @Zyfeon @md_glass I mean, do we blame a gambling addict for falling victim to the casino when the systems deliberately obfuscate their cumulative losses and emphasize their few wins? (Not about Hytale or games in general, just discussing the line of thought there)

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@UnjoyedMC @Simon_Hypixel @Zyfeon @md_glass Low-quality content isn't always apparently so on first glance, you know? There's also the concerns of kids who get Robux from their parents and it goes to whoever can grab their attention and interest the fastest.

I have a lot of thoughts that aren't organized or fit in 140 chr

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@Simon_Hypixel @UnjoyedMC @Zyfeon @md_glass It's a really complex topic because of course people need to be paid for their work, but you don't want to incentivize slop for $.

That, and everybody thinks of something different when you bring up P2W and maybe has bad experiences in different types of games. (Me, for example)

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@Simon_Hypixel @UnjoyedMC @Zyfeon @md_glass Hell yeah, Simon! That's exactly what I wanted to hear. BTW I hope my tweets didn't give you the wrong impression; I totally am onboard with your vision of the game and more than hyped for the game.

It also shows a lot that you take the time to read community concerns and reply!

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@UnjoyedMC @Simon_Hypixel @Zyfeon @md_glass I just get heated living in a world that's non-stop constantly asking for money I don't have. Gaming, for me, is supposed to be an escape from the fact that I don't have money that isn't being burned by everyday costs.

It's why I always prefer one-time purchase games, no micro$$

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@Simon_Hypixel @Zyfeon @md_glass Putting here that my understanding of the phrase "P2W" is "Pay 2 Win" i.e., "if you don't pay, you can't win."

I probably am operating with a faulty definition given how others are talking about it.

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@Simon_Hypixel @Zyfeon @md_glass I think that's a bit of a logical fallacy. The people who are angry about it aren't a part of their community because of it. It's one of the main reasons I won't touch the game (that and all the numerous other problems)

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@UnjoyedMC @Simon_Hypixel @Zyfeon @md_glass I said in a different tweet that my stance isn't anti-server owners making income, it's more about people creating low-quality things and slapping paywalls on everything.

I see it a lot in the mobile gaming spaces and it's aggravating. But that's *my* understanding of "P2W"

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@Simon_Hypixel @UnjoyedMC @Zyfeon @md_glass Truthfully, when I hear "P2W" I think of things like the general state of the mobile gaming industry where every single bit of progression is locked behind a paywall (literally paying to win)

I'm definitely not opposed to server owners being able to monetize their work!

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@Simon_Hypixel @UnjoyedMC @Zyfeon @md_glass Ohh! I see. I misunderstood what you were saying, then. I apologize! That definitely sounds like a more reasonable approach.

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@Simon_Hypixel @Zyfeon @md_glass No, you're right. I'm not saying I don't engage with RB because it *has* paid content, rather it's dominated the game to the point of being unplayable. Maybe I made that a bit unclear in my wording (I'm writing stream of consciousness)

[Ian / Lux ✨ @IanVrmrs]

@UnjoyedMC @Simon_Hypixel @Zyfeon @md_glass What is even the benefit of P2W except people with money get to flex on poor people? Who cares? It honestly makes me look at people who do spend money with a sense of resentment.

Also "many MC players' stance" means nothing. I play MC and I dislike it. Does my stance not count?

@Simon_Hypixel @pogal_pog @0Pantherr @nerwi_ @itsTheYoshinon @StilesClover_ @Spitt94 @not_mynes @flash_canadian @Olegro_ @Rixyy56 @oweloficial @mosshorn Was there ever any real benefit to the new engine over legacy other than cross-platform and fixing some lighting issues on stairs/slabs?
