Gemcraft - Introduction and Q&A
Introduction
You'll have noticed that recently we've brought on a few new members onto the Management Team. They're working in the background to restore Gemcraft, and part of that, is trying to be as transparent and honest with you as possible. To do that, you first need to know who they are!

Why is the server so dead?
We understand that there has been a lack of communication and activity on our part, and we want to address this as we move forward with our revamp. Our commitment is to be more transparent and provide a steady stream of content for all of you, starting with this Q&A.
To achieve this, our initial step is to gather feedback from you. Your insights are invaluable as they will help us learn from our past mistakes and identify any pain points and areas that we can improve upon.
In addition, we are actively working on solidifying our team and commissioning new builds, plugins, and more. However, it's important to note that this is not an instant fix. We want to ensure we do justice to Gemcraft, and that might take some time.
As we embark on this journey, we sincerely hope for the support of our community. Your continued feedback is crucial to our success. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to help shape the future of Gemcraft.
Do you think you know Gemcraft's Flaws?
We’re working with the current team, along with new members who you may have seen around. This means we’ve got a mixed amount of knowledge, but we’re hoping that’s a good thing! We think Gemcraft could do with some fresh eyes, and hopefully, some fresh attitudes towards its development. Part of that is relying upon you guys to let us know what’s wrong, and engaging with us whilst we’re trying to learn!
Let us be clear - we know Gemcraft is not in the state it should be. It’s clear that it’s been neglected, and is in need of some much needed TLC! We’re currently talking about what our plans are over the coming months, and how we can provide Gemcraft with sustainable updates, not just one-time support.
What are you planning for Gemcraft?
At the moment, we’re doubling down on our core - we want to make sure Gemcraft is in a stable condition, before we go about adding new content. However, that doesn’t mean we’re not looking towards the future! We plan on holding regular polls on new features, allowing us to get some insight from you guys about future content. We’ll be startin this today, with a poll posted later on our Discord. To give you some insight into our plans, we’ve created some points that address some of the issues that our staff team have flagged!
- First and foremost, we're currently working on a 1.20 update. This will allow you guys to explore the new resources made available, and help us create epic new content!
- We realise that new content is a good start, but we need to double down on our existing setup. We'll be focusing on bug fixes throughout the summer.
- We're looking at hosting different events, some of which will be new to Gemcraft! The first will go live with the 1.20 update, so keep your eyes peeled! There might even be a few prizes...
- With these new updates, come new players. We'll be launching an advertisment campaign to put Gemcraft back on the map. This will include you guys, with rewards for players who actively engage and promote our community!
