Nice thread.
I started with that because the rest of my post is going to be fairly negative. This is not because it is a bad thread, but simply that I see lots of things that could get fixed slightly.
I am minoring in studio art in college, so I have a pretty big backing of both digital design, but also pure aesthetic readability. I am also a font hobbyist, which means I have extra expertise in that department.
  • The IP is a little hard to read. You picked a thin font, which which is harder to read against a busier background. On top of that that the white color blends too much with the peach of the background and readability is further decreased. I would suggest creating a desaturated oval for the logo and IP and then change the font to a thicker style.
  • The curly font is a nightmare of mixed signals. You seem to be focusing on a more professional look, but then you use a font that is anything but. I would absolutely suggest changing that font to one of the many you can find here: http://www.1001fonts.com .
  • Space wise, I would suggest bringing the main thread closer to the title. Essentially just shrink down the space you give after the logo and before the "welcome to". Its looking just a little too large to me.
  • The spacing between the "welcome" the "synchronous" and the next block of text should either be equal, or at least make it clear that they are NOT equal. This means wither move the "welcome to" lower, or even out the spacing between these three elements. The current spacing is sort of disturbing as its almost even but not quite.
  • The gamemodes section is looking nice. The visual keerning is well balanced and the icons are nice. I like the desaturated second layer. There are lots of text-based errors though. If English is not your second language I would suggest finding somebody who IS to look over your work next time.
  • I would suggest changing the "and many more" to a full block itself though. Add like... a question mark and then have another block just hyping up the other gamemodes. It looks weird as is. Give the "and many more" the same visual weight as "kit pvp"
  • The next section looks comparably worse than the gamemodes section. The icons are too small and it feels too spread out. I would suggest blocking it out more like you do in the gamemodes section. You might consider a 2x2 grid of fuetures. Like two side-by-side rectangles, then another row of two. Side note: the "many more" is probably not necessary here. Of course the server will have many futures. Once again it just feels weird.
  • It IP at the bottom is much more readable then at the top: use this is a reference for how large and on what background important things like fonts should be placed on.
It really is a nice looking thread. Best of luck as you continue with design work or continue on to pursue art.
Have a good day,
~Sir. Lich

Wow big tips! Thank you so much for your support, sure this post will help me and other thread designer a step to becoming more and more successful towards their dream. Thank you for standing out and point out my mistakes. Your comment is really honorable! I will improve myself with these highlights. and about my second language, yes, English is my second language and I did notice that those sounds off too, but I was careless because I did not intend / focus to put on any text there at the first place :)

With love <3
