NOTE: Actually Read this and don't just disagree with it right away.

Hi, my name is Dynshot (Toxiic/Luve)
Today I am going to discuss an idea that might seem like i'm mentally retarded but might work out better in the end.

Recently a lot of people have been quitting Minecraft (including me somewhat) I haven't actually "played" the game in a while, I've been doing it for marketing really. Anyways as you know. There are still a lot of people in the Minecraft Community, not as much as before.

I think that MCM should change there name and remove the "Minecraft" in it. Here are some of my reasons.

- This will bring more people to MCM that are not interested really in Minecraft but might be interested in Domains, Steam Accounts, etc.

- This should be more focused on Steam Accounts in My Opinion. Why? A lot of people are going to disagree with me on this but here's and idea. Steam is the fastest growing digital distribution platform on the internet. In 2013, Steam had 69 Million Users, 24 Months Later it doubled to 125 Million Accounts. It is growing very rapidly. That was the last time Valve announced how many accounts there were and they probably have over 2 Million now. All my friends who play Xbox are slowly switching to PC.

- There are many ways to argue that fact "People make usually more than one steam account" true, but not all. About 1,000,000 people play Minecraft per day. Out of 2 Years only 36,000 people from the community have been on this website and there are 24,000,000 total minecraft accounts. Steam, well, they have a LOT more accounts online daily.

- Well this is sort of a part 2 of the last point. Steam has usually 11,000,000 everyday around 1PM. Minecraft has only had 1,000,000 Users on at once and that was January 2015 (After Christmas). Steam has this many DAILY and can be more beneficial to MCM.

- Minecraft is Dying

- Steam is Growing at a TREMENDOUS rate and here is how.

7bc8a97a95c9b316604e87db596429bb.png

As you can see that Minecraft is dying and Steam is rising.

- This just does not include steam, it should involve Xbox Accounts, Playstation Accounts, Investments, Websites, Looking for Development for actual websites and not Minecraft Servers. People who need resources for making something but can't afford professional resources.

Most likely will get a lot of X's but tell me what your opinion is.
(NOTE: I am not saying to get rid of the Minecraft of the forum but to remove Minecraft from the name of the site)

"minecraft is dying"
yeah keep telling yourself that. It's changing, and not in ways all of us will like, but its not gonna die for a while.
This is not going to happen until our userbase drops below all standards. Since a while ago we had a peak of the most active users online at once, I don't think that's gonna be soon

Also, renaming will basically kill word of mouth.

And call it what?
Market.org?
Pretty sure that's taken, buddy. :p

Though, I'm more concerned that rebranding in that way might actually have the reverse effect of what you're intending. Requiring us to start right from the bottom again in terms of getting our name out there, and otherwise advertising.

oh, and I haven't actually 'played' minecraft in months now. Yet I'm still in the minecraft business.
This website is not going to become a steam-focused website, there's already plenty of those.

As far as i know, this website has only a small handful of competitors.
Steam market websites, however, have hundreds upon hundreds of them.
Let's say there's a total of 10 competitors to Mcmarket.
Let's say there's 100 competitors to any steam-trading website.
Now let's divide minecraft's PC userbase by the number of competitors.
25 million by 10 means 2.5 million potential clients, not counting any of them having double accounts.
let's say steam has 125 million active users.
Divide by 100 means 1.25 million potential customers, again not counting double users.


Now, let's not forget that if we were to be renamed along the lines of Steam-market or some such thing, our chances of being on the first page of search results plummet.

There's already a steam section.. You can easily sell Xbox Accounts, Playstation Accounts, Investments, and Websites on MC-Market. As Ivain already stated, renaming will definitely kill word of mouth.

There's no reason at all that this forum should be re-named.

People from Steam will come or somewhere else, it would say "Minecraft Market" they probably won't suspect there to be Steam Accounts for sale on this website.

Focus on the steam market? Go in the steam items section of this forums and look at all the scammers lol

You guys are not getting the point of this suggestion[DOUBLEPOST=1470867026][/DOUBLEPOST]
Most of the people that buy and sell steam items are here to scam anyways, if you go in the steam section you'll find very few posts from members with any rep, usually always people with 1-10 messages and 0 reactions/vouches requesting outrageous loans, sales, purchases etc. It's a scam paradise down there and there's no reason to fuel that more by advertising ourselves as a Steam Marketplace (when this site isn't based around that)
Really? Most of the people who sell ANYTHING on here are scams.
People throw a pissy fit if they don't get there followers on time.

I thought you'd make some good points, but you seem to be confused. This is Mc-Market for a reason, not steam-market. Who gives a fuck is steam is larger than minecraft? This forum wasn't made for steam, it was made for minecraft.

Dynshot, you're gonna have to accept this is not going to happen. Rebranding a website this large is a gigantic investment, and it's not something that's going to be done lightly. Not as long as the website is thriving userbase-wise. Which it is.

Welcome to the generic-market where there are plenty of other marketplaces just like us and no reason to stay. Mc-market is what it is because of the type of marketplace it is as there are not many like it of its size rather than the next marketplace for steam sales even though there are plenty more out there. Renaming it for pretty much no reason besides the very few chances it may pop up on the bottom of a google search and have very little potential to have new people join is not really a reason to just go ahead and throw away an established name. Also "minecraft is dying", that's your personal opinion. People will come and go, things will change (not always for the best) but its size is still huge and there is still a market for it in many areas due to people still having interest in the game although you may not.

I honestly feel that MC-Market has earned their name and became fairly reputable to the Minecraft business community.
Minecraft Business Community......

what exactly is your point there? All forms of business that can be done related to minecraft that are still legal, can be done on this website. Some of the less legal things as well, unfortunately.
