Suggestions for a Potterworld Resurgance!

[MattyPoltergeist]

Hello!!!!! I decided to compile a list of ideas that I think, if implemented, would make Potterworld an active and exciting server (major ones being in red). Many of these are past suggestions (some declined that I think deserve a second chance, and others On-Hold) but that just means I think they were very good and should be prioritised. I have tried to give credit where due (if links aren't credited then that means I made them :O)
This can be regarded as 'Feedback' but please do consider these!!!! If you have any other ideas or disagree with some then please comment!

Quality of Life:
- In-game Music
- Prioritise announcements on discords over forums (especially for tournaments as I would love to attend more but often miss their announcement)
- Prioritise online friends over favorited friends on friends list (https://potterworldmc.com/threads/prioritise-online-over-favourites-on-the-friends-list.13221/)
- Fix vaults

Builds:
- Allow you to ride the Grimlotts minecart (credit to jonvr - https://potterworldmc.com/threads/minecarts-for-grimlotts.12220/)
- Add a Revelius secret under Stonehenge (https://potterworldmc.com/threads/stonehenge-secret-underground.13692/#post-88435)

- Bring back seasonal courtyards and Great Halls (credit to irrelevant - https://potterworldmc.com/threads/b...-of-the-courtyard-for-events.8423/#post-68376)
- Add Wool’s Orphanage (where Tommy Riddle was) to London (https://potterworldmc.com/threads/add-wools-orphanage.4770/)
- Add Roleplay Bases to the World with quests (https://potterworldmc.com/threads/add-roleplay-bases-to-the-live-world.13693/#post-87526)

Games:
- Centralise world minigames (parkours / droppers / mazes) with an accessible warp
- Add time leaderboards for gauntlets (this has been done for parkour and should be done for gauntlets)

honestly yeah every single thing on here is something i would like to see added and would make the server more active make it happen

They really need to decorate the courtyard again during events, it shouldn't be much effort and the GH is just so boring now. Also that magical chess idea has been on hold for 3 years now lol. The idea about the RP bases is great and should be perfectly doable. When I see these short messages why they declined a suggestion I get the feeling they are either too lazy to add anything or they don't want to actually give a good reason why they wouldn't add it. It's quite sad to see because some of these suggestions would be so good for the server.

Not to protect them bc clearly there's things that simply need to be done faster, but I understand why this wasn't a priority. I do think it's nice when they accept a suggestion, NOTE that it won't happen soon, but still don't decline it bc it isn't a priority (bc that often happens as well, so I would rather wait 3 years instead of getting declined for good ideas)

Poltergeist/overall communication problem. Sometimes the actual reasoning for a decision never sees the light, and can leave people under such impression.

honestly tourny messaging is fine, its announced on like 2 dcs with big pings + forms

at this point its just on you tbh although it could be added to calendar?

What a coincidence that this new video about wizard’s chess showed me just now… some inspiration for the staff.
edit: it would be realy cool to have something like this in /games with a ranking/leaderboard like other games have with the best players or just have it somewhere in the world and play chess there.
