He also stated his intentions to add a 'social network' feature to the MGN forums, and to create their own MMO around the year 2020.
MGN have devised an eight year plan in which City of Stars will pull out of The Blockheads and join mincecraft in the near future. They will then attempt an effort at their own online game, which is then expected to replace minecraft.
=MGN= has been a major group in The Blockheads community and has donated money to charity from advertisements gained through ad impressions (this sadly had some backlash), set up amazing servers such as City of Stars and has helped gain momentum and funding for start up servers such as the new server 'Pangaea'.
=MGN= have stated they will continue blockheads server funding and that it is just CoS to be a minecraft server.
That being said, we would be sad to see =MGN= pull out their largest server. They have helped out the community in many ways and have been generous to wannabe server runners.
If they do decide to leave, they will be sorely missed!

Below is the MGN 8 Year Plan:
1) NOW: Develop a plugin needed to make this type of forum into a social network with a feed like twitter has.
2) NOW: Recruit all the staff for the many open jobs, reply to applicants.
2.5) LATE OCTOBER: Hopefully 1.6 is out by this point. If so, I probably will finish up CoSv3. Not sure, depends on how much lag is reduced.
3) OCT/NOV?: (Optional) Start a video network for =MGN=. The idea will be to have a TV tab where people can see videos from all =MGN= channels together. This will help =MGN= channels share exposure and create a synergetic program which helps everyone.
4) DEC/JAN: Create a mod for Minecraft called "AwesomePeacefulMode" which adds features such as hunger and happiness to Minecraft peaceful mode (PC) which should make peaceful mode 1000% more fun.
(Somewhere here I hope to pay YouTubers to promote our network more.)
5) DISTANT More minecraft mods which will: empower monetization, hard code a CoSv3-type economic system with shops and money into Minecraft.
6) NOW-DISTANT (ON-GOING) Write the backstory for the virtual world. Develop the basic concepts for a global social network so that I am ready to crowd fund for it or seek investors when the time is right.
7) MUCH MORE THAN A YEAR, 2017?: Grow out of Minecraft and embark on creating our own game, a game which simulates real life and focuses very much on a real user-driven economy.
8) 2020+? Increase the realism of the MMO until it's value for practical real-life applications is adopted by the users themselves.

This is a hideous idea. It's a joke. MGN is one of those annoying networks that hardly seems mature! What kind of plan is this? One that will fail obviously!
