Hi,

I am Zoxic, owner of CraftedMC and I'm wondering on how to get players to join my server.

No, I am not asking on how to get a good server because I already have everything set up, I'm just looking on how to advertise.

The point of this thread is to know what websites are good to advertise on.

Please note:
  • I will not be bidding on ads, do not recommend me sites with bidding sponsorships
  • I'm looking for websites that will get my network 20-30 playerbase
  • I am not looking for youtubers
I am only looking for websites

Thanks to any help I can get. :)

Make a pmc post and delete/make a new one every day. Or, make a plugin that makes your playerbase look really high so its at the top of the list.
Or.......
You ruin your reputation by doing that.

You're asking for pretty much something that is impossible... You're not willing to buy slots on .orgs, you're not willing to pay for YouTubers but you want someone on McM to find a way to get you 20-30 players for free with doing nothing but posting your server on a site.

Yeah, it's not going to happen.

If you have nothing nice to say you can just leave.

People will join if they think your server is interesting and something they want to play. You cant just rub a bottle and *POOF* players appear. You actually have to have a unique idea that catches players attention and keeps them.

Everyone is going to tell you the same thing because you're asking for something ridiculous.

Seems quite ridiculous for your server too. With 0 players on and only 6 player slots. Lol

Not to be rude or anything but he has a point and is being honest. You need to have some sort of investment into the server for it to pick up. :)

What do you mean investment? Could you please elaborate?

Unfortunately you're probably going to need to spend money to advertise it. It's the only guaranteed way of securing players.

What you're asking for, is something that takes time, and effort to get. To get players to join your server, you not only need to have some sort of advertisement, you need to have something that appeals to players. Because there are dozens of servers out there that are exactly the same. And you say you're not looking for youtubers? Well that just makes no sense to me personally. Youtubers, Can do you very well, as people who watch their channel may want to play with them, so they join your server.

Youtubers are probably your best shot, unless you're going to spend A LOT of money on a site, like:

minecraftservers.org
http://minecraft-server-list.com/

Ect, These are not only expensive, but they are risky, there is no guarantee people will stay, and or like your server, but best of luck doing this.

You're not going to get a 20-30 player base off just websites. I can tell you that. Bump on PMC daily, Minecraft Forums, HF, MC-M, any random MC-M knockoff, Spigot, etc. Try to get as many votes as you can, it's definitely a help. But honestly, it's not like some well-hidden secret to get players. There are no more than 5-7 websites to post on and if you already do, then that's that you'll get. It's the hard truth, but get some players from websites, get donations, and invest into YTers or slots. Simple as that.

Thank you, I will try and pay for youtubers. :)

I will keep this in mind, thanks.

Post a video promoting your server on [Censored].
I heard that works.

Not sure if that's a joke.

I mean my factions server is down while it's being revamped because my other server McDreamZ just launched... Nice one though..
