Before I start yapping, let me get my name straight.
I'm TheImfamousGamer, some of you may know me for my giveaways and generosity.

Now that's out of the way, let's talk shards.

From what I'm seeing, shards can be used to buy premium items, like spawners, experience bottles (idk why), or crate keys.

In my opinion, to sell this is sort of pay to win. Because what's the point of a rich kid afking like ftp players do and straight up spending $75 on a BETA GAME. YOUR PROGRESS WILL RESET. For those who buy shards, have you considered the long-term implications? All the money you spend will eventually give you nothing in the long run. To be honest, people still buy the Eclipse bundle for old survival, which is CONFIRMED to be reset. 

So yeah, that's my opinion on shard monetization. I get that Arch has to make money, but I don't think those who spent money on shards and bundles have thought about the long term.

I'm open to opposing opinions as long as they are not derogatory or offensive.

Wait a sec, completely off topic but old survival will reset? I mean whats gonna happen to it? Will it get deleted? (sry if im kinda annoying I’m just overthinking)

Survival will reset, the old world will be available for download, and you won't be able to play on it anymore.

shards are p2w because u can buy them in store :/

and that server is resetting cuz its beta

and its all so true :sob:

Noooooo

Here’s my thoughts: arch is Just a Minecraft server and a complete waste of money like bro Minecraft is just a game not even reality like there’s soooo many better ways to spend ur money like on college or stocks so you can ACTUALLY enjoy life, like don’t spend money on games guys. go touch grass and live a real life and enjoy the earth that God created for us.

they're adding to much p2w like new surv just released and they added shards to irl shop

Just one of the many reasons I quit
