Minerealm is a great realm the community, the anti-griefing, so on and so forth, but I can't help finding myself thinking that things are becoming a bit stale. So I'm suggesting increasing the server difficulty from easy to normal.

I voted yes, but I can see people getting upset when mobs suddenly start doing more damage.

[bezzay]

yeah but people get upset when a piece of dirt is stolen from them
I'm all for upping the difficulty

[FlamingHobo11]

I vote no.
What advantage do you get. Mobs still spawn the same.

If it were increased, you would starve to just half a heart. I imagine many players would rage quit once they die of starvation. Some of them already beg for food. It's too hard for the noobs. For those that do not find the melon farm at spawn and go straight in the teleporter, they will probably find very little food where they end up. Few pigs, few cows, few chickens. What else is there? You have to wait for wheat to grow.

If you need a little challenge, the wilderness is the place to be. Pass the top northern part of the map. I believe it's hard difficulty up there. You will starve to death and you take double damage. Most of it's untouched -- perfect place to mine.

You don't starve to death, you go to 5 hearts just twice as fast. It's still easy difficulty but ALL damage is doubled including falling, drowning and suffocating.

Hostile mobs spawn. Enemies deal standard damage. the The Food Bar can deplete and will leave player 1/2 heart with if it drains completely

I was talking about the wilderness. I know perfectly well how the difficulty system works.

[jackavsfan]

I was under the impression that more hostile mobs spawn on higher difficulties. That would be the main pro of this in my opinion.

No. Go away.
