Development on RPG that directly benefits SMP/Factions - something to consider communicating
Submitted by redstoneisgreat
Suggestion
One thing that I haven't seen any other players talk about is how some of the development on RPG can potentially benefit the other gamemodes in the future, in terms of fixing long-standing bugs, being able to implement player feedback more quickly/that wouldn't have been considered before, etc.
For example, RPG replaced EssentialsX with an in-house developed plugin that implements the same features. Joe confirmed that this plugin will most likely be used in SMP and Factions in the future.
There are also some other examples that I have noticed could eventually be useful for SMP or Factions (I would guess at least some of these will be incorporated into the other gamemodes)
PVPManager plugin, responsible for Combat Tag, Item Cooldowns, etc. (replaced with inhouse plugin I think)
Stalls plugin in Oakhaven, could replace SMP's current plugin (I talked with Jack about this, he said the plugin would need some modification to work on SMP, but that it was a consideration)
Chest Shops, for SMP
AFK Timer & AFK Room plugin
Sell Chests, for Factions
Trial Vaults plugin (I think SMP has this, not sure about facs)
Voting plugin
This is potentially something that can be mentioned in formal or informal communications with the playerbases of the less popular gamemodes. Many of us (myself included in the case of Factions) want to see our gamemodes get attention in terms of development and promotion. Even if these gamemodes are not in active development and are waiting on finances or developers before resuming development, this is progress towards making these gamemodes better in the future.
I also bring this up as I know in the past, some of SMP's long time players were very upset about RPG being prioritized above SMP. I do realize that by the time SMP and Factions get updates (if it takes an eternity), the existing playerbases for these gamemodes that are still interested might be very small. Regardless, I would still like to see it given attention.
