A1Craft.com NETWORK - For Sale

[Pete]

Hi,
I am looking to sell my Network , hand on heavy heart i really didn`t want to as i have owned for so long and put so much work into it over the last 5 Years , it has been quite the journey.
But ultimately i have to do whats best for the server and the great community it has.

Changes in personal circumstances are forcing me to do this , I have been very vacant from server the last 6 months and its been declining because of this , a server only does well if there is an active owner and unfortunately because of losing my Job irl I have had a lot of changes and no longer have had the time.

A1Craft has a long history and at one point was quite a nice size server , our biggest ever player count was 673 aprox 2 years ago , but this is the point I started to make the server Eula compliant , and as such it noo longer had funds to support advertising campaigns, so the decline in numbers began with no money being spent on advertising.
We still see peak players of around 100 and a bit more , but the longer I leave it the less likely it is possible to ressurect for someone who is willing to put the time into it and updating etc.
You could even consider ignoring the eula rules and re-add lots back to the store to input some funds and start advertising again,but right now it is eula compliant.

Our enjin website has 9924 users signed up , and organizing events on the server or other things could easily bring many of these users back to the server, new owner would automatically generate interest i am sure.

Currently the server runs on 3 i7 32gb Ram servers at OVH , it was on 6 but as the numbers started to fall i reduced the count.
We have a variety of servers and builds , some servers are updated to 1.11 already but there are some still waiting for this to get the server on full 1.11
Server has Creative , Plots , Prison , KitPVP , Bending , AcidIsland , Survival , Towny , Skyblock , Skygrid , Factions and more and lots of potential.


This server is not just about money for me , I am looking for a buyer who would have the servers interest in mind.


All money i earn`t I spent it directly on advertising on Minecraft Server Lists which we all know costs 1000`s to advertise on , I never made money for myself always re-invested it and obviously for hosting costs , the server has been eula compliant for about 1 year and still has revenue coming in.

Please feel free to check our player count stats here..

I have not made one of these threads before to sell a server and never thought I would so if you have any questions please let me know.
Ultimately i just want whats best for the server.


At present i do not have a price or timescale in mind , I am open to reasonable offers , feel free to visit the server IP a1craft.com


If it comes to selling I would only accept PayPal Friends and Family or a Bank Transfer.


I would prefer you to contact me by message on here or by skype : mcraftpete , you would need to state that you are interested in server as I get many requests daily to add contacts


Please bear in mind if i dont feel someone is the right buyer i will not sell the server , i will find another way to continue it maybe with more input from staff etc.

Had a visit to your Server earlier and spoke to a few of the Admins/Mods on the Creative Server ^^! Such a nice Server and nice staff/players, may pop on later for another look around if you'll be on!

Kinda interested in making an offer, but y'know time will tell!

+1 from me though, for an overall great Server!

portfolio? As you're a new member and first post, you may want to get some rep before selling

Thanks , it does have nice staff , i hope you can see the potential for the server.

 

[Ghouly]

I can see potential, very much so! ^^ Pm'd you again anyway! Thanks alot!

 

[Pete]

Yes i do care about the server , but i am accepting offers and also asking what experience and plans the buyer has , as i stated previously i do not want to just sell it to someone that doesn`t know what they are doing a it would spoil what is still very good potential , server is Eula compliant and could easily be reveresed to generate income for advertising.
Thanks for everyones interest so far.

Holy Hell.. You made 98k over 5 years? Honestly Props to you. Good luck. I would love to buy it, but I do not have the time anymore.

 

[knkcortez]

Look at Hypixel or Mineplex. lol

Capitalize your 'i', it looks really unprofessional the way your have written it.

Change "your" to "you", it looks really unprofessional the way you've written it.

 

[Pete]

The bigger servers do have a lot of income , but a lot of money would go into hosting , ddos protection , builds , plugin , development , accounts , tax and more..[DOUBLEPOST=1493565459][/DOUBLEPOST]lol andrew , can`t believe I missed that

 

[Astrium]

Good luck!

Change "your" to "you", it looks really unprofessional the way you've written it.

Wrote in a hurry, my bad. I put a 'r' after 'you', mistakenly, if you are trying to strike me back for what I criticized, my friend, a considerable extent of lowercase 'i', does look more unprofessional at an act of business. The particular 'r', I misplaced, looks a bit less unfortunate.

Attempting to strike back with the same words, does not always suit the situation as the proportion of mistake varies.

I am a very active person, currently enrolled in online college, with a part time job (I only work on the weekends), I could devote the rest of my time to the server. In addition my goals for a minecraft server are similar to yours, I'm not in the market for profit, I just want to lead a good community, support it in every way possibile, and make sure it can reach it's true potential. I've played on A1craft for a while, it's very sad to see it being sold, but if it's placed in the right hands, I believe it can be great again.

In all I am willing to pay $300.00 now, with $200.00 per month for the next 2 years, in addition with 10% of profit going towards yourself.

In all that's at least $5,100.00 you will be getting plus the 10% Monthly profit.

Let me know what you think.

The staff are overall superb and the owner is great on this server.

Though, if you do look to buy this server, expect a few obstacles while trying to talk to Pete. He's busy, as the reason on why he's selling the server suggests. You will most likely get aggravated if you like to have any kind of response at all. Getting him to respond to you took me many messages - and I definitely lost my cool when he finally responded. Though, while getting him to respond, he said, and I quote, "why do you feel i should reply to you ahead of everyone else, im sorry but you are not important and blantanly rude." It's not quite that I feel as though I should be responded to above anyone else, I just feel like I should get a response. That's it. I failed to get it for far too long.

+1 for the great server. Just, please, work on your communication a bit, Pete.

If you'd like any sort of conformation on what happened if you're interested in buying this you may add me on discord, Twijn#7606

I just hope somebody with a lot of time and money buys this server. A1 was the first server I played on and made so many online friends on there. Pete gl finding the right owner

Used to always play on the bending sub server, GLWS!

 

[jnsankar]

Sad to see you are selling the server! I would like to talk to you about this, but honestly I am not willing to spend a vast amount of money on this. I have seen the server dying, and I am here and ready to help!

Hello Pete,

I am willing to take the server off of your hands until you can get back on your feet. What I am stating is you love the server I see that I am willing to run it for you and manage it maintain it until you get back on your feet with the irl issues. I have ran many servers in the past and I know what I am doing when it comes to plugins and such. I have a team that Also knows what they are doing So we can push frequent updates to the server to keep users interested and expand the server. Let me know your price range I can't spend too much as i also have other things I need to pay for but I am willing to take it off your hands until you can get your life back on track. Once you do that I will return the ownership to you.

My skype is nort.appy if you are interested let me know
