FIRST SERVER - Advice?

[uglybutcher]

Hey y'all!

I have recently opened my first survival free build server and some players are loving it.

But, I just wanted to ask for some advice on what I should add to the server to improve it or how I could make it more entertaining. I've added plots to have secure homes and shops for players as well as mcMMO.

I do not have any "buycraft" items as I want it to be a no-pay-to-win server.

IF you have any purchasable ideas, please add them.

& Yes, we are looking for helpers and staff. But this isn't the correct form to advertise that so please private message me.

Thank you!

Be mature
Have a good staff team.
Dont troll
Keep your updates weekly to keep playerbase
Keep an eye on your servers behavior
And I suggest you make buycraft items for income. otherwise your making no profit

1. Be unique
2. Listen to your players
3. Be professional (Looking & Staff members)
4. Get youtubers to advertise your server & reward players with vote links etc!

Don't me to strict just let the players get on with what they want to do.
Like the above post said lots of updates
No down time
Advertise on servers lists and get YouTube's to get the players pumping.

I appreciate the feedback! Thank you.

Try not to over-advertise the server at first. A hundred players in the first three months is good. Try to make the players get to know each other, that way, if they like playing with the friends they make in your server, chances are they'll most likely come back regularly to the server. Also, make the staff talk to players and be friendly. That way they'll just be forced to come back and play there everyday.

Good Luck!

Thank you so much! Over-Advertise? How would it be best to advertise the start of a server than?

Like it was said above, getting youtubers to advertise as well as listing the server in server lists websites. But I'd recommend advertising in the MCM advertising forum as well, I've had experience advertising a server there and people showed a lot of support, some even wanted to help out. xD

Also, I'd suggest making a discord so people can join and find out more about the server. Plus, a way to get people excited is always with a launch-party. In the server I was advertising, we had a launch party, and gave 500 points to each player for that day only, as a way to celebrate. So yeah, that's a good way too. xD
