We won a season on archon and didn't get paid out. One friend who loved crate keys is now addicted to drugs and had jumped off a 3-story parking garage.
It's fun when every dollar you lose on paying to win, you get 100 dollars back from kids that stole their mom's credit card to buy crates on your server
hey man, its not illegal- pay to win itself isnt necessarily bad, if people want to spend their money that way thats fine, but when u got crates and lootboxes and advertise gambling to children thats a completely different story
SSundee proudly proclaiming "I love Pay to Win" tracks well with the recent server shit. Makes his whole backtracking thing seem super disingenuous now considering he made it seem in his video like he was removing it because HE didn't like it, and not because of the huge backlash and duping efforts
Considering Factions and Lucky Block series, it seems Ssundee just love the whole pay to win and gacha/random loot both as a way to make money and a way to play. It's probably one of the biggest flaw I notice he has as a TH-camr, that and also the whole situation where he spend a bit too little time with his family leading to a some sort of hiatus 6 years ago until he get his life resolved and back together. At the very least, as far as I'm aware of he hasn't been a part of something worse.... such as y'know... pdf.
I remember the Archon not wanting to follow minecraft's Eula back in 2016, and told everyone to get on forge so they can bypass the ban on that server. Guy was always suspicious tbh
"Love pay to win games" this just means he has so much money from scamming kids from these pay to win servers that he can spend that money on other pay to win games lmao
The Archon had this simulator called: “Robbery Simulator”. The point was to rob places, get more money, get better weapons, and then don’t get caught. You should’ve seen it. Amazing.
Camping rusher was my childhood i watched every faction video. I played on the server long ago. I miss it so much when rusher played factions ughhh good good memories
as far as im aware, purple prision is most likely blacklisted but its still up as they have tons of proxies. they spoof their players a LOT so even though it says 400+ online its usally closer to 60-70 and the server has essentially halfed in size every year or every time they reset
Ex FadeCloud admin/player. Server is still P2W and surprised how they haven't caught attention of the EULA. I don't think the primary IP was ever banned for the server. The server still has monthly crates with slim chances to obtain top tier items. Ranks are individual to each server, and previous cosmetic ranks (That were upwards of $75) were removed in favor for crates that give you those cosmetics. Players weren't reimbursed for purchasing those cosmetic ranks either. They possibly get behind the EULA by only having "Clouds" on their buycraft, with players purchasing items/ranks through those clouds. Sub-Servers reset multiple times a year, making those purchases useless in months time. Seeing players drop $100's of dollars on clouds for monthly crates when a sub-server resets is not a rare occurrence either.
Used to play on fadecloud, I got bee rank through a crate (not sure which one, I forgot, couldve been a daily or a keyall giveaway) and I didn't get the rank at all?!!?!? I told a moderator and they ended up granting me the rank. Could've been a bug, or they just didn't program it in lol.
Same thing in the case of Lemoncloud. But its just getting worse and worse there since the owner likes to raise every shop item with 20% every 2 months
Back in the golden age my faction won a season on the archon but we were never payed. sadly many of us had invested a lot to get the win so we were devastated to receive nothing in return
TheArchon was one of the only factions servers that I still played, Saico was another, but I stopped playing Saico a year ago since it got boring and my base was constantly being raided (a little hard to keep up with as a solo fac and with other things to do like school). TheArchon was actually a really fun server, and I also played their Skyblock and Prison gamemodes regularly. Sad to see it get merged with another server that didn't want to continue those modes.
God, I was a staff member on GotPvP during the EULA BS. It was extremely corrupt in the months prior, with some of the disgruntled staff members even adding in "illegal" minecraft tools (Diamond axes, swords + player heads) which destroyed the economy and caused so much internal chaos.

One thing I will say we did dupe a hell of alpt of was stuff like obsidian for base building and other construction stuff as it isn't exactly something that's to game braking or noticeable as not exactly unusual for a faction to have alot of it espeshky if constructing a large base
@epic_liamgaming2342 I am surprised that such a method even existed. It seems like such a simple one to fix/ avoid and / or find out about, I am glad you never abused it. I do wonder when you found this method, like was it close to the end of the server, or was it known for many years.
Watching ssundee's timeless pvp videos were so peak. Seeing godz_onemanarmy in this video was a surprise. I remember people like nicks, neo, ish13c (which is a huge yter now), ambrew, thunberg, dale, luminitepvp
I played Gotpvp a lot in the early 2010's and spent a regrettable ammount of money on the server for ranks and such at the time. Started around 2014 and stopped playing on there for good around the same time Saito announced they were stepping away from the site and that a new owner would take over. I remember thinking they seemed really tired at the time, especially with all the EULA stuff going on. Had a lot of good memories from the Survival and GTA servers, and was genuinely sad to hear they had shut down when I tried to rejoin for a nostalgia trip.
Great video! Dude Id love to play on your server but Id like an official guide of sorts first, I actually got confused by a lot on your server, I tried years ago so yeaa
Never played on the servers mentioned directly in the video, but I def remember playing on Arkham network, which I'm pretty sure I saw listed as one of the black listed ones. I remember playing on their prison server...yeah it was very pay to win lol
It’s so skummy all these servers were like “if I can’t scam kids and encourage them to gamble I will go bankrupt” GOOD! if you can’t make money doing the right thing then don’t make money
Damn the Archon and Cosmic were my childhood. I was forced to be a F2P player because I didn't want to spend money on servers that probably wouldn't even be up in 10 years (this was 2014-2017) and was basically forced to quit when both servers implemented crate keys since it was borderline impossible to keep up if you weren't spending moneyy. F2P playstyle lowkey saved me but a lot of my friends that I met playing on those servers weren't as lucky. A lot are are addicted to gacha games, one blew his tuition money on the stock market, and another is literally a drug addict, and the worst thing is that their parents either have no idea that their children are crippling gambling addicts or don't know how they got the addiction. I've seen first-hand why countries like Belgium ban gambling in games that children and teens play like CS cases and FIFA card packs. Both Archon and Cosmic deserve gigantic class-action lawsuits on their heads.
2:20 trying to make removing one thing from a buycraft sound complicated and hard is INSANE. you're literally being lied to by these guys bc they want to justify their stupidity
It's a lot more complicated then that, back then Mojang wanted these servers to remove ALL pay to win mechanics (I believe, it's hard to find info about this stuff now), which as the guy in keemstars video said, would have made them unable to operate (which is also true). That being said, they probably didnt need as much pay to win stuff, and could have done without the gambling
Imagine having your hangs inside a enormous marmelade jar. Your dad tells you that abusing of it is bad. Where do you draw the line? When is it abusing? When is it only running fees?
@@TheMisterEpic I ran p2w hcf servers during this time, We had to comply with the EULA, people heavily exaggerated since it affected their bottom line, for us, we removed crates (took about 20 minutes) and then we changed the buycraft to remove all similar things we judged as p2w, I can imagine for some servers like kitpvp you needed to remove items, pots etc that were only accessible through buycraft / p2w mechanics, but there's no shot it took them more than a day unless they're just bad devs...
Wow I use to play GotPvP prison server many years ago like 2013-2015 and factions. I was not expecting to see that server. I played all of these servers at some point good times.
A few years ago The Archon sponsored one of Dream's Minecraft Manhunt videos. I had never heard of the server up until then but gave it a try cause they were giving out free rank upgrades as part of the sponsorship. Played for a bit and quickly learned about all the pay to win stuff. Never played on it again.
As someone who played the Archon in Rushers fac, i remember this time vividly. He also went the route of giving players flares when they donated and they can only open them in the warzone so ppl had a "chance" to get them. They dropped in like 2 seconds so it was practically impossible for anyone to contest. I'd have to argue tho that it was the p2w that kept the server alive. Almost everyone had a rank and they had kits that gave diamond armor and this is what drove pvp, raiding, etc... Otherwise it would have been gear fear and no one would have done anything. Also, idk if epic will see this but pls update ur civilization server. I played for a bit and love the og feeling but man is it missing so many features. I understand its a beta but half the plugins are still unedited as if you just clicked install and left it. The core is useless, skills are basically useless (better off with mcmmo imo), and the civs are unbalanced heavily. Pls take 20 mins to make some fixes and the server would have so much smoother of an experience.
I was a huge archon player a few years ago, never bought anything except a rank for /fly. Never needed to my faction was full of cannoneers and we just stole everything got top in a lot of the seasons consistently. If top fac only has 1 cannoneer then they are basically screwed, not high cannon knowledge means not much knowledge about patching, patching mods, etc. nowadays everyone has that knowledge so its not very op anymore like it was then... gotta miss the old faction days
Man, I see Minetime on that list. I used to play that heavily when I was young but really only on the Creative server because I liked to build. Met some good people there I remain in contact with to this day. It's a shame it went down with a silent whimper like it did. Not sure if it had to do with any pay to win things as, at the time, I did not notice anything pay to win about it. Then again, having played only Creative really, maybe I simply wasn't in a position to notice.
I got the Timelord rank for my birthday in 2014 on Timeless PVP. I than grinded for 2 weeks straight as a young 11 year old boy to level up my account. Because i was ranking up so much, I got banned for botting. I appealed, and they said there was nothing i can do about it. I lost all respect for SSundee's servers since.
Forge used to allow you to bypass the blacklist but in 2022 they patched that out. To be honest, I'd rather not have Mojang add DRM like this. I think mod loaders shouldn't count disabling the blacklist as a bug but a feature. The main reason why? I'm not against hating on pay to win, but the recent additions to controlling CONTENT, specifically firearm-related weapons, is why i think mod loaders should reconsider allowing Mojang's blacklist to function. Yes I am advocating for Forge and Fabric to disable the blacklist. Forge actually did until they patched it because they considered it a bug.
"I love pay to win games" said a millionaire with more money to spend than intelligence. Look, I don't mind a server that allows to donate and in return you get exclusive cosmetics, but outright cheating your way to victory ain't a way to go, it's just scummy.
i remember playin some of these servers back den but never thought of buying shi. now if i’m bored i’m gonna just find dupe methods it’s 2024 duping will never die
It's like an infinite cycle: Step 1- Make a Minecraft Server Step 2- Ask TH-camrs to Promote it and a reason it is fun to play on Step 3- Get blocked by Mojang for being p2w or some other weird reason. Step 4- Repeat 🔁
Honestly as a person who spent time on gotpvp I will say their server was great the server was able to handle huge cannons and huge bases for factions also Ive never spent money but I got the 3rd best rank by just doing raids. Also i was top 5 almost all the seasons without paying anything so it was duable
I'm playing on OneBlock MC right now, and I'm starting to notice it's leaning towards being pay-to-win. However, it's still manageable for those who don't spend money.
I can't stand pay to win mechanics in games, but what Mojang has done with this braindead EULA isn't the right approach either. Strongarm tactics just create trench warfare and the landscape nowadays is just as bad as it was back then. So all of that nonsense has done fuck all to stop kids from getting exploited for their parents credit cards. Mojang used to have a pretty good reputation, but they are doing a lot to ruin that. These days I wouldn't rank them above say Facepunch or WUBE and I used to be a big fan.

"I love pay to win" = "I'm not any good, but I don't want to work for success."
@FillYouWithMe how do you get money without working?
There's also p2w games - so those that prefer less playtime could bash records by throwing money
I wish mojang enforced the eula even harder on these public servers
Forge used to allow you to bypass the blacklist but in 2022 they patched that out.
To be honest, I'd rather not have Mojang add DRM like this. I think mod loaders shouldn't count disabling the blacklist as a bug but a feature. The main reason why? I'm not against hating on pay to win, but the recent additions to controlling CONTENT, specifically firearm-related weapons, is why i think mod loaders should reconsider allowing Mojang's blacklist to function.
Yes I am advocating for Forge and Fabric to disable the blacklist. Forge actually did until they patched it because they considered it a bug.
Blacklisted servers used DNS re-routing to bypass the block for many years
"I love pay to win games" said a millionaire with more money to spend than intelligence.
Look, I don't mind a server that allows to donate and in return you get exclusive cosmetics, but outright cheating your way to victory ain't a way to go, it's just scummy.
what do u expect from someone who makes modded among us videos
He just making money tho. And using it to progress himself ?
Also that was like 8 years ago was it not?
@@Jugglerthe and nothing changed ever since, he still sc@ms people
I was staff on Medieval realm back in the days on TimelessPVP. Pretty eye opening to see it as a P2W server now, but I had no clue back then.
Never late for a recent upload :)
Hi there!
@TheMisterEpic, heart my comment again, I made a small edit (grammatical error)
@@gulehsan1314hello
Idk about ssundee but I like PLAYING the game not buying everything instantly, but that’s just me
Pay to play games defeat the purpose of a game
i remember playin some of these servers back den but never thought of buying shi. now if i’m bored i’m gonna just find dupe methods it’s 2024 duping will never die
It's like an infinite cycle:
Step 1- Make a Minecraft Server
Step 2- Ask TH-camrs to Promote it and a reason it is fun to play on
Step 3- Get blocked by Mojang for being p2w or some other weird reason.
Step 4- Repeat 🔁
when it will actually just gave up completely?
@@imfakeris1 not sure, but I guess until the server owners can't afford to make another server.
Honestly as a person who spent time on gotpvp I will say their server was great the server was able to handle huge cannons and huge bases for factions also Ive never spent money but I got the 3rd best rank by just doing raids. Also i was top 5 almost all the seasons without paying anything so it was duable
Its wild you can just change the IP and nothing happens
Always with these W vids bro
hey mr the epic i love these videos and cant wait for more you're awesome man
another goated MrEpic video
I miss the archon skyblock it was so fun :)
Pay to unban is wild...
Cosmic prisons ontop thought it would’ve been on this video
love the content!
I loved got pvp the prisons I never spent a penny on it but had so much fun
Imagine if all the other p2w servers get shut down now after this video
from mrbeast to preston to now sundee dam man my childhodd was filled with these people but now i cant even look at them
I'm playing on OneBlock MC right now, and I'm starting to notice it's leaning towards being pay-to-win. However, it's still manageable for those who don't spend money.
Me: sees TCR on thumbnail
Me: insta click
I used to play on the Archon factions pretty much every season and was in a top 3 factions most the time
How many hours a day did you put in?
@@tcbobb1613 6-10 hours most days
No wonder minecraft youtubers vanished around that time
I can't stand pay to win mechanics in games, but what Mojang has done with this braindead EULA isn't the right approach either. Strongarm tactics just create trench warfare and the landscape nowadays is just as bad as it was back then. So all of that nonsense has done fuck all to stop kids from getting exploited for their parents credit cards. Mojang used to have a pretty good reputation, but they are doing a lot to ruin that. These days I wouldn't rank them above say Facepunch or WUBE and I used to be a big fan.
People when not following the rules means you get punished
Mojang actually doing something good for once
Ahh I honestly forgot thats wht archon went down, honestly the series was so dead atp that it lowkey makes sense lol 0:32
“I love pay to win games” Of course Ssundee said that shit
SSundee was at one point one of the great minecraft content creators. And now look at him
Bro Desiredcraft was my first Minecraft server, it's still on my server list even tho I can't connect to it
Great video!!
tbh, if your server needs pay2win mechanics to sustain itself then it shouldnt be a server in the first place.
i wonder if any of them figured to just patch the blacklist check in the client and distribute the patch to their players instead of complying lol
Mister epic pay to lose server when?
Happy to say I played timelesspvp in this era. Miss that server. Long live SexyFaces 😂
I hate P2W or pay to progress, I’m fine with it if it was like pay to help progress (I.E Xp boosters and stuff), but never liked gambling things
the eula is the warning. they didnt get blacklisted with no warning
