I was wondering whether it would be beneficial to develop and open a kitpvp server thats like community-based, meaning not toxic, everybody knows everybody, etc. I already have the builds, graphics, and most of the setup but idk whether I should sell or release it. Please tell me your thoughts?
KitPvP Server?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
That's what I was thinking, but I can host events announced through discord to get players on.
I may just do a BETA season, the thing is if I have a season and don't get any players that could bring down the value & waste my time/money
I ran a kitpvp server from December 2015 until 2019 when I closed it down. For the first 2 years, the server was doing great and then after that, it suddenly started going down hill, less players, less donations ect. I did paid advertisement and nothing was moving it. I did multiple reboots to increase the playerbase and nothing. After doing some market research, I found out that kitpvp servers are no longer popular like they were back in 2015.
Same goes how factions was all the rage back in 2013, but now, factions in general is a dead gamemode. Don't waste your money in a kitpvp server, put it into a skyblock server or a mmorpg server.

What's your discord, Innings? I know how to make a kitpvp server successful. Actually, I have so much experience in that particular game mode, it's incredible. If I was ever to make a server, it would be KitPvP because if you truly know the game mode you can easily make it successful as long as you got all the essentials parts like Money and Plugins. You're sorted, shame I couldn't make a kitpvp server, since I don't have the money to but I sure do have lots of Strategies.
Nothing lasts forever. How many youtubers do you see uploading factions series these days? Even going on Planetminecraft server tab and going thru top voted & trending servers, there's a handfull of faction servers, and the handfull, have small playerbases. There's also a reason why popular servers like Hypixel or Cubecraft don't have factions, because they know they can't cash in. All top servers at the moment have Skyblock, some sort of mmorpg gamemode or even survival. Anarachy and survival servers have been slowly coming back in the last few months.
Still don't believe me? Do your own market research on factions. And when I said "dead", I didn't mean that nobody plays it at all. People still play it, but the hype and popularity have died off and it's nowhere near to what factions used to be back in 2013, and if you still disagree with me, then you're just a factions fan boy who's refusing to let go of their fav gamemode.
And your proof is? And kitpvp is def not "100% one of the biggest gamemodes", it's nowhere near to what Skyblock is right now or survival.
Unfortunately I agree with xXLegendaryXx... It's not that popular right now. But if you do it right and create a community I believe its still profitable.[DOUBLEPOST=1591985797][/DOUBLEPOST]

Kitpvp is not where big atm, maybe one day it will comeback like survival is coming back now. Maybe when Mojang comes out with a new combat system, because 1.9+ killed pvp a lot in minecraft in general. Even player count in "The Pit" on hypixel is nowhere near Skyblock.
and you claiming that Kitpvp is "one of the biggest" right now is just your opinion, you haven't provided any proof or content to your count-argument except
which is not proof, just opinion.
Skyblock on Hypixel is more of a modded game imo. The pit has been pretty popular though for a long time on Hypixel.Kitpvp is not where big atm, maybe one day it will comeback like survival is coming back now.

If you have constant custom events like a spleef event, sumo event, 1v1s, duels, etc... maybe like some clan system and other custom features like new kits with special items, etc... Just something so there is action always.
