Keep it OG-style cannon based 1.8 pvp Factions!!!

For me, and I suspect for at least a few of the other active players, the biggest appeal of this gamemode is that at it's core, it is, in my opinion, OG-style cannon based 1.8 pvp Factions. I recognize I am in the vast minority in how I discovered this server, but I actually discovered this server NOT from Epic's videos, but from a Reddit post - I was looking for a Factions server and wasn't happy with any of the other options. I recognize that this gamemode is most likely not doing as well as hoped. I still see so much potential in this server and I really, REALLY hope the concept that I love is NOT given up on in favor of appealing to new generation players. I think more can be considered in terms of promotion (possibly using footage from this season for a "Civilizations Experiment" video to advertise next season???). I love that this server is trying to appeal to BOTH playerbases, new players, and long time Factions players. This server has, in my opinion, the potential to be the closest experience available to true 2016 OG-style Factions. Other "OG-style" servers tend to attract a more experienced, less varied playerbase. Most of the players that join already know what Factions is. They attract VERY few "new to Factions" players. If this server can succeed in attracting/retaining these players, this server can become something VERY special. The other feature of this server that sets it apart from other "OG-style" servers is the "anything goes" ruleset, just like Factions servers had in 2016. I hate that other servers expect the player to read/understand a bunch of base/cannon rules, here you don't have to worry about that. continued below
