Surely, all server owners have once before had to deal with competition, be it in the form of extremely similar servers, servers who blatantly try to copy your work, or otherwise. Always, infallibly, such servers end up a constant headache, and generally a pain to deal with.

How do you guys deal with these situations?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Hello,

You can never stop someone from copying your work, to some extent you can in terms of plugins being haed to code. But in the end everything can be copied, and it will be copied if it's good. The way to handle these situations is to ignore the person copying and simply add extra features and make sure your own server/project is always 1 step ahead. Stand out from the crowd.

Kind regards,

I like it, it encourages me to make my server even better than my competitors keeps the servers updated with new features too.
Friendly competition that is though. Don't know of anyone that tried to copy me once.

There are many server that are trying to copy us. Sadly due to complexity of one of our server, it's often too much for them to try to compete and fail to get off the ground. My advise it this OP, if they are copping you it means that you are doing something right. I would ask them to join and work together on same project, if not just do what you do. Update the server often, keep fixing bugs etc. There is no point to acknowledge them, just continue to make your server.

I know one thing that would be impossible to copy: A fully functional SAO RPG server. There's yet to be a single project that gets past floor 10, or even gets floor 1 fully working for that matter.
