Older modpacks

What if for some nostalgia for older players What if some packs were brought back for a limited time for example tppi or monster, I personally remember Playing tppi all the time because it was such a good pack. Just thought it may be a good thought to bring up the idea of maybe hosting some older packs on mym as well as newer ones.

 

i play only them bc 1.10 and 1.12 mods and their new versions are bad imho

 

I finally fixed my automatic camelpack water refiller on Crash Landing. Would I play? Yes, on a regular basis. But I'd love to see some 'new' old pack. One of the good ones I never did try back then.

 

There is many 1.7.10 packs I haven't played, also many 1.12 mods are just conversions of 1.7 mods to 1.12, but theres few 1.12 changes that really grind my gears, for example Thaumcraft... I realy hated its research on 4 but when i read about the changes of 5,6... ughhhh became worst magic imo.

1.12+ is future? Ok, I stay in the past bc looking how future will be, by looking at present... yea, no thanks

 

If that happens MyM loose another player... big deal /shrug
Maybe dream come true and MyM will be hosting Antimatter chemistry or Chemical Exchange - both 1.12 BUT lightweight packs

 

Also the idea that everything 1.12+ is bad is just a reactionary point of view, which might have been valid when it came out, but has not been accurate anymore for years. 1.12 is a pretty stable version at this point and not much worse (or better than 1.7)

 

It is not just the 1.12 changes that has some people shrugging off the 1.12+ packs.

What does make a good pack? Some would say balance, other say it is challenge. But a kitchen sink pack is a kitchen sink pack and never get any better than the mods it contain and with a few honest exceptions the good 1.12+ mods are rehashes of better 1.12- mods. SF4 had some fun twists but the twist I liked the best was the compact machine start, which we didn't have on here. I prefer a good story to a hard challenge though and lets be fair. When was the last time you saw a modpack with a good story? (

Spoiler: My answer

1.12 SevTech, even though in theory it does not have a story, just a required progression.

) No, fifteen pages of "make 99 swirly holes in a 15x15 crafting grid, because" is not a good story.

But then again, even a good story in 1.12- does not make a good pack playable here. We cant really do Blightfall here, can we?

So when you ask would I play a 1.7 .10 pack my question is "which ones?"

 

For example Better With Mods, I mean, Better With Wolves

 

Most people that complain about new versions having the same old mods again, are probably the first ones that whine when applied energistics is not in a pack.

 

I see more complains about not having veinminer than AE in pack

 

but why is rum Tinkers gone?

 

I'm gonna jump here. Bringing back older packs would be great. But Lirael and mrminesheeps both have a point. Things die sadly. And those old things are always better/newer in the future. I'm not against the idea. i love it. But with the eco for the server. It wouldn't be great. Yeah a older pack could be the most popular server on here for a week then it dies. What does that mean now? well a dead server with no one ever playing it. Wasting money on keeping up a server is stupid when they could use that money on newer servers (if you get my drift)

For alot of players like myself and my gf. We can't run the newer packs and we can't afford new machines. Like alot of players. And because of that MYM would saldy lose some players. Not overly alot but some. So atleast adding either newer or older packs in (that isnt hungry for ram and stuff) or keeping what there is would be great.

It's defo a must think about and consider on doing. But if it doesn't get put in then we ain't really missing much. We got everything already just updated.

 

Veinminer is awesome until you remove half of your base cause of it XD

 

Tbh honest the most accurate presentantion what will happen when old pack is revived is the Regrowth @Sandstroem revived in the past.

I dont memeber the whole time but at the begining it had decent amount of player.

 

I think the regrowth Revival worked, but reseting the old server would have had a similar effect. There are however not that many retired packs here that had such a big history.
