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.

Pete. My name is Devlicious i have messaged you on skype, please message me back when you get time, I'd really like to speak with you and come to a agreement, i think we can make this server succeed, if you give me a chance.. i understand you are busy and i'm willing to wait. however my goal is NOT to waste your time.

 

[Devlicious]

This is one of the many spelling errors that makes this look HELLA BAD! Glws tho!

leave Pete alone ... from what I hear he's a nice guy man. Don't need people like you hating. Just a honest guy selling something He work hard for.

Hi , this is not about my spelling , this is about selling a1craft , the staff deserve more then im able to give currently , i have had quite a bit of interest which is nice and i am replying to people as i can , i am short of time so i will get to everyone that is offering sensibly and letting me know their plans , i have many many people asking to `look after it` , i am not looking to give it away as this likely means the person has no funds to invest into the server to grow it back to where it should be , i am not in a really big rush so not going to jump int something and regret it but looking for honest offers that do plan to do good with the server .
Thanks everyone for your comments.

100k in fucking donations HOLY SHIT!

Just checked this server out and if someone could get this for a decent price, it would definitely be worth it. To whoever does, I would strongly suggest a declutter of the network by getting rid of the unused servers along with a revamp of the rest and a possible reset on some. It would be a massive task, but after that, I think it would pay off with some advertisement.

Definitely considered this until I saw how much work would have to be put into it (purely what I think, I just wouldn't say it's up to today's standards).

I see a lot of people here try to make deals and payment plans or just be staff. I am interested in the whole network Pete
How much are you looking at to sell for? I have sent you a PM as well

 

[Pete]

Hi,
I have had quite a few offers , many that are `payment plans` or `i will run it for you` are all being ignored , it does require work theres no question to update and improve , i am in no rush to sell and may not sell at all , it has a great community and a lot of contacts via enjin etc.
Thanks for taking the time for your comments so far.

No problemo Pete ^^, I've hit you up with a few messages, so when you're able to scythe through all of the offers/messages you'll come across mine! Yeah it does need quite a bit of work, as someone who's been playing on the Server quite a bit there is a few things to improve and change, but honestly nothing that isn't possible to do. Mhm the community is great and I've befriended a lot of them, mainly the people and staff at the Creative World. Thank you for taking the time to read everyone's offers as i hear you are quite busy irl at the moment!

Woah, I remember playing this like 3-4 years ago.. Crazy. Best of luck with sell, hopefully the right person acquires it and it comes back to what it was.

Vouch Pete Owns this network, I've spoken to him before, great guy, interesting network and I'm sure whoever buys it would enjoy it. Pete, I might be interested but if I buy it, I'd like you to be locked in to manage it for 1 month and pass on the work to someone I recruit externally. Is that something you'd do?

 

[Clyde]

What is the current bid? I am interested in purchasing this network.

STOP BUYING EVERYTHING ;-;. GIVE US A CHANCE AT SOMETHING!!!!

jk, I'm sure you'd make a good owner, but for real, stop stealing everything from us

 

[Pete]

Thanks for everyones interest , i have had quite a few good and genuine offers , however i have been finding more time lately and involving staff more in teh running of things so it is looking more likely i will not be selling at all , but thanks for the interest and messages from everyone , it was nice to hear so many positive comments and also ideas.
