The decision to limit the number of minigames on the server at any given time was made to help prevent over-saturation of certain areas and to encourage rotation of gameplay experiences. By regularly switching out minigames, we can prevent areas like the arena from becoming too dominated by a single game, and ensure that other areas like the puzzle minigame and the maze get enough attention.
This rotation also helps to reduce the learning curve for new players, as they can transition through different games more easily and get a feel for the server without getting stuck in a single game for too long. Additionally, it allows us to introduce new minigames to the rotation, giving the community fresh experiences to enjoy. The current rotation period is 8 weeks, and this was chosen as it balances the need for novelty with the need for stability and consistency.
We also considered the practicality of implementing a more complex system, such as a schedule or calendar, to manage the minigame rotation. However, we decided against it, as it would add unnecessary complexity and could lead to issues with coordination and maintenance. The current system is simple and works well, with the volunteer moderators able to easily update the rotation schedule as needed.
