The plan to beat Hypixel

[Zalbus]

Hello

This is just all in fun but it’s 2am where I live and I’m wondering. If Mick created a Minecraft server and somehow got all the service teams, builders, developers, advertisers, etc to join together and put there services into this MCM network, investors too. Could we become bigger than Hypixel?

 

[Ren]

No, not at all.

 

[Megumin]

Noooooo

Not a chance, I am an investor and I know for a fact my savings could not pay for a portion of what Hypixel has.

That's because if you had over $1m in lifetime earnings* you wouldn't be boasting it on MC-Market.

There is no way in hell MCM could ever beat Hypixel with the sheer playerbase alone. For one thing MCM doesn't have 80k+ concurrent legitimate non-bot users. For perspective, try dividing that number by about 1000.

Not to mention payment. MCM couldn't afford to pay every builder, etc., the amount of money it takes to build a network like Hypixel's. I also wouldn't trust the stability of most developers' plugins on here...

* I don't actually know their lifetime earnings but my point still stands.

Maybe if you will create also MarketTale

you could invest 10 million dollars into a server and still not beat hypixel, it's a monopoly.

yeah someone calculated once that they make 1m every year alone, and if they actually tried to make money (e.g advertisements, collabs, ads on websites) they can easily make 3-4 m a year. they have atleast the population of a small country playing on the server at any one time and atleast a million people passing their server every day alone. literally would take atleast 100k+ for advertising and development etc to get atleast a dedicated player base of Mineplex, something like 8000 players at any one time. however i have no experience in making servers im here on this website for the accounts so i may well be wrong lmk if i am.

:rofl: title made me laught but cool :tup:

 

[JayMC]

No lol

 

[Demeng]

Use brain pls kthx

 

[Nerm]

Possibly not, Hypixel has a dedicated player base

Popularity could switch somewhat reasonably instantaneously, Mineplex had the highest player counts 12 - 17ish dominating, people understood there was better, there's always a reason to most of this stuff.

Beating Hypixel of course is possible, but unreasonable to expect someone without a budget of several hundreds of thousands, upwards to millions to win.

If you look at it from another angle... you would not just have all the devs, etc from the forums, and not only all the users of the forums, but also the youtubers, streamers, etc.

Some people on this forum do have some larger connections, which could swing things around. If you got 4-5 very large youtubers, a great development, art, build, you name it. Then have insane amounts to spend on advertisement.
I think playing the cards right, this could be done.
