[2020] Tweets by Simon hypixel on 25 Aug

@ThirtyVirus People been saying the network « will die » as a whole for 8 years now and yet we are at 105k+ weekend peaks beating average of almost all video games and major changes in content coming up to SkyBlock while it still peaks over 45k

@ThirtyVirus First of all, we need to introduce monetization to be able hire and stabilize the SkyBlock team so they can release scheduled updates and focus on what works: world content. Usually in the game industry it requires a team of 20+ to be able to produce adequate updates, SB has 6

@ThirtyVirus Also, we are already spending TON of resources (time/money) on this game mode. We fix dozen and hundreds of exploits, dupes and bugs per week. Something people don’t really see but that takes up most of our time. SB is the only game that wakes the team at 4am with alerts, weekly

@ThirtyVirus That means that the SB team working on content is often pulled to work on issues. That being said, we are AWARE and refocusing content in the coming weeks to make it less likely to increase maintenance of updates. More open world, fun and such.

@ThirtyVirus We learned and we are still suffering from the dungeons update, it should have been made with a much larger team while others worked on other updates. That being said, at Hypixel we sometimes take risks and push what is possible, this is why we are still popular as we are today.

@ThirtyVirus Its hard because the community expect as much content coming from a small team than a 1000+ people studio 😅 Give us some time to adjust, recover and please trust the process. I know that more content is good and it’s our ultimate focus. We are doing it. It can’t be instant.

@skyblockupdated @ThirtyVirus When we communicate about upcoming content people are upset and when we don’t people think we are doing nothing. Ill let the updates come to themselves at this point and not burden the small team with more work

@ThirtyVirus TBH these kind of tweets annoy me because you often have private conversations with our team and never discuss these kind of things, only to then tweet negatively about the game while fully aware that the team is working hard to address it. like wtf dude lol

@ThirtyVirus As Ive said privately to you in the past, these random negative tweets harm your relationship more than anything, it contributes nothing and given that you can talk to most of the team in private makes me question your goal.

@ThirtyVirus 3 months ago: stop talking about future updates, it overhypes! OK now: I am concerned about things I don’t know about

@Bezvard @ThirtyVirus That’s the dumbest tweet Ive read in 2020.

@ExtremeBlitz__ yes

@BoehMod @LeScooter42 This is insane! GG

@AndrewFielder11 @ThirtyVirus floors are released while other content is being worked on because they don’t require as much time to dev anymore

111k peak player count today, nice

TBH we don't really have the hardware to properly support over 100k, so we had to put some server limits right after hitting 111k

As I've said and explained why in the past, we have no plans at this time to support more players than this. It's still fun to hit new record numbers after 7+ years of running the server though!
