One in the Chamber is still actually pretty fun, that is if there are players playing it. Sometimes I would play oitc with friends and it would be just soooooo much fun! Especially when they are really bad at it and I win from like 20-4 lol. But I still think OITC has life in it and it would really suck if it died.
(pretty sure im quoting myself from a long time ago but) if the server brought back its old minigames in their old states more players would be attracted because to be honest, the new gamemodes are much more complex and us oitc players and other minigame players would love to see these old gamemodes become what they were several years ago... it would bring back so much nostalgia for myself and other players... (probably going to make this a suggestion but then again im perm banned :'( rip)
How exactly is OITC, SG, KitPVP or almost any old game we have more complex than it was when it was first released? The games were not "better" 3 years ago, face it it's just pure nostalgia and it if we actually went back you would realize that the game wasn't better at all, it's just because you remember a time where you had fun.
The OITC community has been making at least some effort to keep an active player base, with the unofficial tournament that's starting soon. Suffice it to say, people are just simply moving from smaller servers to larger and more community driven servers as player expectations are shifting. This happens almost everywhere where there's a population of people. All that can be done is to figure out how to spice up the game for more new players to be invested in it. The tournament is a good start, but it may not be enough at this point. Also, just stick with playing on the weekends for now because only then will you get a decent number of online players.
why not change the whole thing instead of having signs for players to join just make one sign and funnel all the players into one match and rotate all the arenas so the players are all concentrated into one game instead of having them spread out
Maybe add a team mode and a different game mode like oitc capture the flag or something like that. Keep the game a bit more interesting I guess
no point at this stage if i'm perfectly honest. the server has no completely died but is heading that way. the only popular server right now is hypixel really (Not saying this to advertise just stating).
