Player count on the fall/New ideas

Post by MLGPro »

After the map updated the server was of course flooded with new and old players looking to get in on the action as usual. But now that a few weeks have elapsed the number of players the server gets a day is steadily declining.

So the purpose of this thread is to offer up any constructive ideas you might have about how the server can be improved to make it more enticing for more people. Feel free to speak your mind and try not to start any flame wars.

Do not argue with anything that anybody posts here please. Just feel free to leave your own suggestions or to add reasons why you think something somebody else posted is a good idea.
No negativity.

Are you guys serious? Just because there is 5 people online right now does NOT mean that it is declining. Just this sunday the server had 16/16 players on it. It is wednsday, of course not as many player are going to be on. Everyone ia busy with work/school/etc. The server is fine how it is. Nothing needs to be changed in the slightest. Having 8 people on the server at once is fine in my opinion.

@deadalive no, peaceful faction have no effect to how many players come....and we just got the freaking faction plugin! People are having a great time with it! We CANNOT go changing the server type after each of you two get bored with it. Go find yourself a tekkit server if thats what you want. You can play on both. And to have a tekkit server, we would all need a tekkit launcher. The peaceful an dnon peaceful SHOULD be in the same world.

This is bull that you guys want ANOTHER freaking change.

I guess having 10 or so players in a server is not enough people online.....

If you look at gametrackers for the past month you can see the number of players a day shoot up and then gradually decline back towards nothing....
This is objective fact not anybody's opinion here. It happened on the last map and I don't want it to happen again so please stay on topic.

Nobody has suggested any changes actually be made yet.
The thread is merely for people to pitch ideas of what they think would interest people.

You are being totally irrational with this. If you actually took the time to actually go look at the graph you would see that the server player count was boosted by an uncommon event (the server being reset) and is slowly progressing back towards normality which was about 0-2 players a day. I am not saying that it will end up getting there overnight but I am saying that this would fit with what has happened in the past and what the data indicates.

It is normal for every servers in every games to have up and downs, I play less than i did 2 weeks ago, because i get bored. Happens to everyone.

What is with you and Choc? This isn't constructive or helpful. It is just an unsupported statement that is meaningless on its own. Please read about what the thread is before going to post as if this is random topics.

Your Scared of change XD
I have played on servers with 70-90 People
8 is Tiny, I would Accept 30, Then I might get iffy (Just Becuse I dont like *Too* Many people on)
Edit: And Besides,Its not going to be a *HUGE CHANGE* That messes with the whole server *Of Corse Unless we make Ant change the server to Tekit, Witch I really want :cry:
Only Little Plugins and added things that Might Bring more people over to the server :P

Well, the server still gets close to being full every day, why change it already? Can't see why someone would worry about this when they could be using their time on enjoying the server while it's still popular.

The thread is not about demanding major server changes. It is for people to offer any ideas they have on what they think would attract more players to the server or things that they think would just be fun.

Don't ask for "no peaceful factions" while you guys are the main reason for the amount of peaceful factions. That makes no sense. Other than that, this server was never made for 50+ people. Also, if you have two worlds it'd confuse players and make it harder. You'd have to decide.
