Dear Community,
Me and a friend start a server two years ago. We have so many ideas with a RPG system in which cities, arenas and PvE instance like wow are included. Therefore I learned Java and write many plugins. But we removed the idea of the RPG World (for the beginning) because if there is not all perfect the players will gone. So half your ago we start on a new server and create a Survival Freebuild World and a Creative World. Now we have a 32 GB RAM and 8 Core Server with a neighbor server on a different realm. I create a plugin that maybe can replace ChestShop a bit and make a little link to our server. Last week we looking for staff. We found 4 Admins and 7 Moderators. The Reason why so many mods is that the study of me and my friend starts in one week. We haven't enough time for development, advertising and server management all in all. The staff only supports the community, but we haven't any community. The Players come and see 'ohh only three guys on' and log off. We posted our server on diverse forums... http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1485945-restedcraft-247-no-lag-128-slots-survival-rpg-creative-arena-instance-battleground/ (It should not be advertisement, I only want to show what we have) Nothing happens. The Player comes and goes. We don't want to put the work of the last two years into the trash. So we start today a building event. If i had the idea i think ... puhh we can get about 50 players. After we put threads on all forum and messages we get 16 players who build. As the contest was finished all players goes immediately. I know the problem. Its a chain reaction. No Players >> No Players will come. I know it from me. I also only go to these servers with 100+ players. We have great ideas but not any ability to come over these point. The next problem is that the few players, that we have now also go, because we have too less players. And I think if we can't solve the problem in one week we can forgot our ideas.
To my question. Is there a opportunity to come over these point. That we can get Players passive more than we lost. How should we make our advertisement? Maybe can you help us?
Thanks for every idea, help or suggestions.
PS: My English is not the best, i know (I'm German). And here is it really late. Please see over it.

Lol dude, its just hard work. you need a good (scratch that, great) idea for anyone to want to play. Then keep working at it, and every time you update you should keep around 5 players if your server is any good. Then just keep bumping every 24 hours (Try not to do this too much, it can annoy players) to gain more. Try to make it a legit update, not just a bump.
