[Azorces]

Hello,

My name Is Thomas and today im just asking for some advice on how to grow a server.

Is there a certain method that people use to grow there servers?

Some things i Already know about:

Paid advertising (project wonderful)
server lists
etc

Friends, spreading words to their friends, and so on and so on.

Most servers have their advertisers and such that make them big but I know some guy who owns a server. Started out by telling all his 200 Skype contacts, they joined, liked it, told their friends. He now has a big network.

You gotta make sure your players are having fun and like the server otherwise no one will want to play.

If you can get a YouTuber that speeds it up also.

YouTubers is definatly the way to go in my opinion, or if you know someone that has a lot of Skype contacts, you could ask them to do a mass message to their contacts like ked said.

YouTubers isn't always the way to go. Most people watch the YouTubers play but... dont like playing themselves.

Mass message, yes but... make sure the players are satisfied.

ked I invested in YouTubers, even ones that have just over 2k can get a lot of players on, and it worked, but it depends from viewer to viewer.

2k? Alright, sounds reasonable, but you would need like 3 of those to get alot.

ked We did get people with more, just saying that even people with not that many subs, so to say, can bring quite a few players too
