I think that Munchy is a good thing in this world and should be preserved as long as possible. So it is distressing to see the obvious loss of goodwill – to put it mildly – from players like Rin, Viv, Kyo and Corgi who have done great things on and for Surv.
It’s a great idea to level up the non-ranked players a bit, like having a chance to keep inventory, but it seems like a dubious business call to level down perks already paid for. Is there enough of a step up from freemium to premium for new Surv players to want to buy the ranks? Will the existing ranked players now feel committed and loyal enough to spend more $$ on seasonal crate keys, keyalls, gifted ranks for other players, etc?
I am really sad to see players who I like and admire feel scammed by Munchy and I don’t think it will work to tell them they are just wrong to feel that. I hope there is a rethink on ranks, because… see my first sentence.
P.S. Sorry this is all about finances. I am no good at mc so can’t comment on that but I am an accountant, lol

I feel they should update store policies by mentioning in ranks features that will be permanent and features up to change cause this is kinda thievery… like you guys don’t even get anything back from keep inventory being taken???
Your point is **
completely ** right, people won’t trust the server enough to spend money if they see features that were promised with the rank be changed like this!

Okay, I have A LOT of thoughts on this, I haven’t been very active recently, but I still want to speak my mind. (No ill will to anyone who disagrees with me, we are all entitled to our own opinions!)

“does it really feel like surviving knowing that you will never loose your items no matter what?”
The game mode is called survival, but not everyone plays it in that way! Different players play differently, I know I’m not the only one who doesn’t play this game mode for a challenge. Some people might want the survival part to be easy, some people might only want to build, make friends and mess around care free!
-
“Does it really feel fair to players that don’t have the chance to experience this?”
Yes. Keep inv and fly are perks that are paid for. It is fair that people who have not paid for them, don’t get them. It is unfair for people who have paid for those perks to not get them. (Not to mention an actual crime.)

“But then again, this is not sandbox ish.”
Minecraft IS a sanbox. What are you talk about??
-
“Also let’s not omit the fact that that sorrow chest is a free keep inventory for everyone despite not looking like it.”
The chest of sorrow is a good idea, for unranked players, it is not however, what I and many others, paid for.
-
“It isn’t hard to bring a stack of steak in your off-hand while flying”
Sure, but it is going to be an unnecessary hassle. What happens if you forget to bring food? You get killed and end up having to pay money for your stuff back? No thanks.
-
“Don’t omit the carpet buff btw…”
Name one person who enjoys the way carpet is? Its just a bad perk in my opinion, buffing it a little will never be able to aptly replace /fly.

“Let me remind you that crate keys are fully free.”
No, they’re not. This is really out of touch. Time is not free, most people don’t have the time to spend hours a day grinding a game. Most people have lives outside of Munchy that they can’t ignore, just because they want crate keys. I personally have always found crate keys very tedious to get, even when I would spend hours a day playing munchy.
Let me make it clear, nothing about crate keys can be called ‘free’ in my opinion. Time is precious and not everyone is able to, nor wants to spent all of theirs on munchy.
I respect you a great deal, Candlea! When I played munchy you were an awesome friend. However, as a friend I want you to know, that at least to me, your post came off as really out of touch.
I hope everyone is doing well, and hope things get better in this regard. Really sucks to see Munchy stealing from people. </3

I’m a casual player who has been playing a lot less and me and others have too with things like school, work, extracurriculars, studying, friends, and other favored games it’s hard to find the urge and purpose time to grind to get a key for a CHANCE to get an item if you don’t have long to play. Keys cost a lot of time to get and while they are FREE that saying can be stretched. For example I can claim the battlepass of a game is free cause a game will give in game currency and after 100 matches you get enough to buy the battlepass BUT you can purchase it for 10$. Is it really free?
It’s a matter of paying for it or spending a lot of time for just a key.

Well it’s a paid rank and the people knew what they’re getting. Like it’s not like PvP takes items and totems are abundant in short time of the server so I feel this point can’t stand. also some people just want to build and play casually which is why the rank was purchased by them in the first place ^_^

Thanks friend!
As for flying I dig the no flying for 2 weeks cause that does give hall a big advantage! However hunger while flying…? Didn’t yall pay for no hunger?
Wait hold up wasn’t no hunger also a perk?

To be super clear here for any staff members reading this: when I talk about the fly nerf, I am NOT talking about the 2 weeks of it being off at the start. This is a great decision and I would be okay with it if it was off for even a MONTH as long as we got the fly that we paid for that wasn’t nerfed. It’s the nerfing that bothers me, not the 2 weeks of it being disabled. Lmk if any of my other points are unclear so I can specify further

I have not been active on Munchy for a long time, and I was intent on coming back for season 5, but with my friends voicing their concerns, I feel I should say something too before ultimately deciding whether I do return to Munchy.
Taking away /keepinv looks a horrible move, not only financially but legally. Having consumers pay $80 just to remove the main benefit later is scummy at best, illegal at worst, ESPECIALLY since I’ve seen people mention that /keepinv is the reason they even bought the rank. It is unfair to them and anyone else who bought legend to have /keepinv revoked and reworked into a different feature that will not reimburse them. The discount sounds good at first, but the chest of sorrows is paid for with in-game gold, meanwhile Munchy ranks are paid for with real life currency. Being able to buy back your inventory is a great idea, but taking it away from those who already paid for it isn’t. This could (and probably will) bring distrust to the community and will discourage future purchases being made. If the profit being generated from Survival as a game mode dips, I won’t be surprised.
I’m not saying this to be hateful towards Munchy or survival staff at all, if anything, I’m saying this in an attempt to help make Survival better. I’ve made and kept lots of friends thanks to this server and I will always be thankful for the experiences I’ve had here, but it hurts to see decisions made that can hurt the whole community, not just the friends I made through it. Of course, I am just one person with an opinion, and it probably won’t matter much in the long run whether I do decide to play or not. I am simply saying that removing a prominent feature from a pricy rank has not been the best decision so far, feedback wise, and I predict it won’t be the best decision in the long run.

I’ve cleaned up the post a bit. Not to silence people or because rules were broken, but to make the discussion more readable.

Do we know if the Chest of Sorrow is limited to only be accessed by the person who’s inventory it was? Is there any way they could be stollen or claimed by someone else? How long will the Chest be available to return to?

Your last 3 deaths are stored, with no time limit. And of course you can only access your own items.

Thanks for the clarification!
There’s lots of new features to this season and I’m interested in how it will change the gameplay. The shelves in the mall seem fantastic, and I love the Chest for new/unranked players. Removing keep inventory for people who’ve already purchased Elite is disheartening though. The topic seems to have gotten plenty of discourse already, so I’ll just say that it feels like a lack of good faith. From a Surv/Prison main perspective the Elite, Legend and ++ ranks I’ve purchased myself and helped many other players purchase don’t seem to have significant value any longer. There’s already so much careful effort put into this release, I really hope this area can be adjusted too.
Edit: forgot to say that I love the lodestones for Warp totems! Nice and thematic
