You know, I have seen servers come and go, swell and pop. I've seen cakies come, swell up with EXP from other users viewing their posts, and then they fall to the dump. So why do these people continue to pay for their hosts, after so long of no players coming? one that comes to mind is the sad, sorry mc.minecraft4u.net server. my friend spudlab kinda introduced me to it... But anyways, so far I've been moping in this blog. Lets get to business.

First, my server, IceCraft-2014, is slightly abandoned, even though ive only had it since August. With a regular Player Base of around five, and great staff and plugins, 42 to be exact, and 125 slots, I wish it was more popular. I am saving up for a good computer to make it 24/7.
Reasons
NO. And yet i keep it up.

Pet peeves
3. when you ask/BEG for OP.
We don't like threats of DDoS'ing our servers, so if we ban you, that was brought onto your own shoulders. Oh, and if owners are smart and using Bukkit for servers, DDoS has no effect. (Ping Packet Limit in bukkit.yml)

So how does it all work, this popularity thing? will anyone tell me?
Oh and if your'e wondering, my server is located at both PMC and Enjin.com

thx yall, this has been jccresz23....

Just look into my profile. Just a warning, it isn't 24/7 and I'm still setting it up from a complete reset. Thanks for the interest.

I am not sure Jake, not sure at all, but I don't want to be popular, that would be way too stressful, lol and why did you send that host to me, I appreciate it but, gosh, he was a bit pushy, you use him, ok :)  I think the fact that I am an older woman running a server and give away free rank to premium and the builder rank in plotworld helps people coming back to my server, because I never ever ever ask for donations and never will.

You are a sweet kid Jzz, just be yourself and they will come to your server, that is all I have.  Be yourself.  Don't listen to the negative comments below, I know you and what you meant by the people joining and leaving right away.  It happens to me daily.  Carry on and slowly it will get more popular by word of mouth or by planet minecraft advertising, and your forum signature if you post alot.  I think having a forum signature is probably what I need to think about getting, but then again, I can't be bothered by posting all the time, lol...Believe in yourself.  I do.

Mkay, this is barely a blog, and CERTAINLY not a review.

Please either post this as an "Other" blog, or in the forums next time. More people will take you seriously.


As for your question, there is no formula to creating a popular server. But if your server is junk/an old idea, you'll never get popular. You have to keep things fresh and keep introducing new features, setting new standards.

There's nothing wrong with that. That's how people learn to create quality works in a community environment. I also answered your post.
