Hello everybody,
Today we are coming with some bad news for our players.
As many of you know, over the course of almost 6 years, BrokenLens gathered millions of registered players around the world, a passionate and talented staff team, and ultimately grew to become a big network sporting 24 game modes and supporting every version of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Java Edition after versions 1.1 and 1.8 respectively, Xbox and non-Xbox.
From anywhere in the world, from any edition, anytime, people can connect, have fun, and make lasting memories and friendships, be it through our server, app or forums.
As you can imagine, developing, evolving, and maintaining such a big platform up and running is costly and requires a lot of resources.
We currently have no sponsorships, and depend on sales of ranks and tickets to cover up for hosting expenses, find new development talents, and advertise our platform to a broader audience.
We chose never to raise rank prices at our store or make the Emerald rank a subscription, even when fees, taxes and extra hosting expenses needed to respond to demand took a toll on our bottom-line.
This, unfortunately, came with the disadvantage that it severely limited our ability to generate enough monthly revenue to reinvest in hosting and further development of BrokenLens.
And I know this will be upsetting news for some, but today I'm saddened to announce that due to lack of necessary funding to support it, we will be delisting the following game modes in the upcoming days:
- QuakeCraft
- TeamQuakeCraft
- MicroBattles
- TeamSurvivalGames
- SurvivalGames
- DrawAndGuess
- BowSpleef
- TNTTag
- TagHunters
- OneInTheChamber
- TeamBuildBattles
These modes are a huge part of our history, and I know some of you will miss them just as much as we will.
Leaderboards, achievements, map ratings, and stats, however, will remain unaffected and still be accessible from our app.
With your support, however, we do intend to bring these modes back in a bigger way, with improved gameplay mechanics, better knockback for PvP games, new props, and new maps from our amazing and talented build team!
We kindly ask those who enjoy and appreciate our work, and those who would like to see what we have in store for the future, including, but not limited to, new game modes, new cosmetics, events, more regions, faster updates and so much more, please help us achieve our vision and evolve into an even bigger network and community.

https://store.brlns.net and purchase an item for you or a friend this Christmas!

Every penny coming from rank and ticket sales will be reinvested into BrokenLens for a better gaming experience for everyone to enjoy.
