Lack of people

Well minecraft as a game is losing popularity as all games do. Plus at least we have a community here, most large smp servers are just tons of people playing with no sense of community at all.

thats true, ive been on servers griefed to death with tons of guests and 1 staff member on or none. I'd say its better having lots of long time trusted, members and staff members than an outweighing amount of guests that play for a few minutes, grief and leave

I clearly remember us getting this Peak online ever of 259 last year

I still remember that there were at least 100 people on. The other day recently there were only 3 people on, which is
kind of sad. It was also much easier to get things you didn't have. In the summer of 2012 I was banned and didn't really know what was happening on the server. I do remember that less and less people were getting on the server. The winter of 2011 I believe there were 200 people on but I may be confusing this with some other server. Still we should spread
the word to friends, post the server IP on PMCs, and vote as much as we can.

These days, people tend to gravitate more towards, "OH MY GOD!! <so and so youtuber> IS PLAYING <so and so minigame>!! MUST GO PLAY THAT GAME!!"

I would agree with nick that some of the larger servers have very little communal effect compared to the smaller, more organized servers, such as this one. Some of the large servers are usually those created by popular youtubers.

[shortgeorgeee]

obviously, I want the server popularity to grow, but not overly. Much like others are saying, it has a community feel. Too many and it would be completely lost.

The servers members have died down because other servers offer things like The Walking Dead, Hunger games sky block etc... bigger choice of activities. People on here are Die Hard Survival fans!!

[Sugna]

Minigames, PVP, Voting, PMC.

4 simple steps can change the server forever.

Not me. I like to build and procrastinate when it comes to projects C:

YESYESYES we need MINIGAMES! LOOK AT... OTHER SERVERS THAT HAVE MINIGAMES! Like what 1000 peeps? We need minigames and EVERYONE VOTE!

[Chief149]

Why not just fix voting? Make it so people are required to vote to earn their diamonds instead of just clicking the vote button?

[Afro_]

Yeah. I just tried doing that, but putting in all the information required is a big pain in the *ss.

Guys! Nick has said it multiple times, We have a community; not just loads of mindless idiots running around grieifing and spamming building stupid pixel art of Penises etc! We have all we need in a community we do not need mini games etc, Yes it would be cool but SMP is for survival not random Mini games etc! I think opticraft is amazing the way it it!

[Nick3306]

Don't get me wrong, I feel we would benefit greatly from getting more players, I just don't see us having a smaller number of players a very bad thing (aside from maybe not getting enough donation money)
