  • The server hosting the Key event on weekends is absolutely horrid in terms of bandwidth and kicking people when they've been waiting. I see no reason to even have this server just to have a chance to get a key that puts others at a disadvantage who've been waiting for an extremely long time compared to those who just get the key. Really isn't fair at all, and makes Aternos worse overall. Constructive criticism, but something needs to give.

  • We think it's fair as everyone who has a premium Minecraft account has the chance to play the games and obtain coins and therefore keys.

    That should be the case, yes, but as I said, the horrible bandwidth and the lack of servers creates a nearly impossible chance, since everyone just continues getting kicked from the game. Not to mention the point of the people who've been waiting for 2+ hours just to be continuously bumped behind because someone got a key.

    the horrible bandwidth

    This has nothing to do with the bandwidth (Out of the case that your connection is bad)


    lack of servers

    This is not that easy. Creating a game server for 0ver 100 players is very difficult.
    As you maybe noticed, game servers of networks are mostly designed for 15 to 20 players and not for 100. And if it's really a server with a big player count, then the game is usually very low.
    We try our best to create a good game experience for you, but as you know: We're people who run a free Minecraft server hoster and not a Minecraft mini game network.

    The number of players using a headstart is so low that they are not worth mentioning.

  • Creating a game server for 0ver 100 players is very difficult

    I'd just imagine that you'd be able to create a type of sub-server to reduce lag instead of throwing 50-100+ people into one match.

    Then that brings it back to my original point. Remove them altogether? They're rarely being used and it's nearly impossible to get one seeing as people get kicked from the gamemode for no reason whatsoever other than getting the short end of the stick.

    That is what we exactly don't want. It's an event, not just a mini game server. We want to play together.



    They're rarely being used

    People who have a key also use them, but we don't give every players 10 keys by doing nothing. We want to keep them "exclusive".


    nearly impossible to get one

    No, That's not. You don't even need to win a game to have the ability to win a key.
