First of all, I just want to say, I know this has been done before, but I want to publish my thoughts....

Every day, on PMC, hundereds of new servers are published, if you scroll through the new servers part, your finger will start to hurt before you even get to last week!

The problem is; It's killing all the good servers. Don't get me wrong, a few small Factions/Raiding/MMO servers need to be published so people can go and play with a small community, but now just the word 'Unique Factions, McMMO, Raiding, PVP'  are making me sick now, the problem is: they're not unique.  They're not, they just aren't, don't be that person who makes a factions server in a day, publishes it and thinks it's unique.

But because people are spending 1-2 days creating these servers, with a mediocre square spawn, 3 public plugins, and calling it unique, your drowning the real unique servers, it's really killing minecraft for me, and I'm sure a lot of other people. So many hub servers are coming around now, some are bad, some are good, some are as good as Hypixel's when it first came out, but you wonder why you've spent hundereds of dollars setting up this server and making $15 back? It's because these small, not-thought-out servers are drowning your submission, nobody will notice you! If you set that server up 2 years ago you could have 1000 players on daily now and making thousands of dollars profit! 

However those days are gone I think. 

It annoys me that people, like me, who are spending months, even years, and a lot of money developing a server, with custom plugins and amazing builds, are not getting any credit, simply because nobody finds them! You must remember the days of minecraft where a new server would go up and you'd have 30 regular players off the bat!

The thing that prompted me to do this blog (as you can probably tell, I'm no blogger) is that I went on to a small Factions/Raiding server, when I saw a massive amount of players and donators it startled me, their spawn was small, square, boring, they had no custom plugins, the staff we'rent particularly great, and yet when I went on to their website, they had made nearly €30000, how! How did that happen! 

The answer was that they had opened 2 years ago, and over the time had hundereds of dedicated players. I feel it kind of sucks that nobody will get this kind of feeling anymore of having a successful server, even after pledging years too it. 

Obviously I don't expect that this will stop everyone setting up 1-day servers and putting an end to the rut that multiplayer minecraft is in but I hope it will sort of raise awareness of it and that some people will listen! 



Just remember before you open your server, that no matter how much you think it, you won't turn your server into a successful server or business at the moment, not with so much of this going on.

Thank for reading guys, Diamond and Subscribe if you agree/enjoyed it :)

I agree with what you have to say. Just remember that the countless amount of "unique" servers are owned by young players who believe they have a chance no matter what. I remember several years ago I wanted my server to be just like the a really popular one at the time (still is in some areas.) In the end I rid the submission from PMC because I got about a hundred players the first day just asking for op, maybe having one or two regulars stay, and then no-one is on in the following weeks. "You" as in the people who are sick of these $5 two-week servers need to understand that it just won't change. This sitiuation of aged multiplayer and publicity to a videogame mirrors that of the whole "we will build spawn for $130", for the "creative build teams". I just thought I would throw that in there, because that too has become increasingly annoying in the past year, coming from a creative builder's perspective. Cheers. I will be on later to map out the Waterfront ;D

Literally every time another server pops up, it encourages other people to make their own servers, pushing forward creativity. By telling people that their ideas are unoriginal and telling them to stop making new servers just because you don't like it, you are literally destroying all possibilities of unique servers arising.

Creativity? They are using the same idea, just duplicating it and labeling it in other names!  Unique servers are being made because either they hate these PVP SURVIVAL GAMES MINIGAMES servers (Creative servers most probably) or they want a BETTER survival server. Many people just make servers because they get jealous of those hunger games survival servers getting tons of players.

Really? You think the general population would go out of their way just out of jealousy? When was the last time you saw a painting by Vincent Van Gogh and thought "Oh I'm so jealous! I'm going to paint and be more recognized than him!"? Probably, most likely, never. And secondly, people don't make great things simply to spite lesser things. If you truly believe we live in that kind of world, then I am sorry for you, genuinely, that you cannot see what I see, how I see it. If you have 100 people who want to make servers, and 2 of them are AMAZING, but you constantly push the idea that no one should make new servers, then new servers will not be made, new ideas will not arise, and those few larger servers will be your ONLY options to play on. While yes, it is quite annoying that so many people use the same ideas, that doesn't mean they shouldn't. These people are trying to build communities, not ruin the game for you.

Not sure wether you are illiterate or not, but if you read the whole thing, I said I didn't want to discourage new servers, just wanted to discourage people who clog up the server feed with servers made in 1 day.

I can't find any roleplay servers anymore .o.' all of them have pvp and all that, what happened to the good "Only PVP is the Dueling and Arenas" and "PVE out of duels and arenas" roleplay servers with classes and races?! O-o'
