I feel like originality is overrated. I mean yeah, sure, I love unique and fun servers, but I don't mind playing on generic ones either, as long as they're fun. Just try to make a server you think would be fun to play on- make it different, but that shouldn't be your only priority.

Try building yourself a modpack, it's a fair amount of work but you can create some really interesting gameplay.

People don't really know what they want so it's up to you to find out what they want.
Take Apple for instance

Don't do what the people want, do what you want. Server owning is a lot like being a person. If you express yourself through your server, the right kind of people will come, and they'll love it, and you'll love them. But if you throw away your unique talents and quirks and swim with the mainstream, you'll get the mainstream, a hollow, faceless blob of shallow... ness.
So don't stick to a certain server type. Craft a server that represents you. People will come, trust me. It may not be a lot of people, but it'll be people that matter. So go ahead, don't be afraid to take risks. Throw in plugins that the world has never seen before, or maybe incredible combinations of world types. Surprise us.

Even if it's a normal faction pvp server?

Since when does "normal" describe a person who is truly expressive? If you truly pour your heart into a server, it won't ever come close to "normal". If you want to throw something together for a quick buck/quick XP, go ahead, be normal. If you want to be happy, normal won't even cross your mind.
There are many ways to take the idea of Factions PvP and make it unique. Factions really is a blank canvas, one that no one dares to color. But someone really should.

Originality. Don't just do what every other server is doing, if you want popularity then do something creative, hire a dev to create a plugin or create one yourself that is unique and will provide a new enjoyable experience for people. That way you stand out of the crowd.

I disagree.
Look at the video game industry.
Many, many people rage at Call of Duty, because of the game being unoriginal. And yet, sales for the latest games are massive. Then look at fun, original games, like The Binding of Isaac. An amazing, original game, and yet, sales compared to Call of Duty are extremely tiny. (Look at the charts in Google Trends)
Many people don't want originally in their games, and I believe Minecraft servers are no different.

This is not a valid judgement, as there are only so many shooting FPS video games that are similar to Call of Duty (I'm sure there are a hundred or so recent ones), but if you compare that to MC servers, where there are hundreds of thousands of PVP servers, there is in fact a difference - there are only so many people who like PVP.
The video game industry is also very diverse (usually), however, this diversity is almost non-existent in Minecraft servers.

That's when you ask yourself: What do you want to accomplish with your server? Do you want to appeal to a large amount of people who probably won't stick around all that long, or do you want a small group of loyal players who will stick it out to the end? If the former, by all means, be unoriginal. If the latter, however, step outside the box.
It really depends on what you want from the server.

Very good point.
To be completely honest, I still think generic servers, or generic games can be fun.

Same here - I have actually have some really good unique server ideas, but I don't have the time to even make them. I keep hoping some other people will try but there is still nothing; it seems that everybody is just stuck with the general stuff.

I also have some unique server ideas just like the rest of you but I don't know how to make a server in the first place so I can't really implement my ideas. I just hope that there are also people out there with the same ideas as me and know how to make a server. *sigh

Awesome can you tell me some of your ideas please?

It really depends. I hate servers that have been done thousands of times before and like those whith a strong unique element, and those I find to be very, very few and are either poorly maintained or just don't get enough steam.
At the same time, many people like the kind of server that has been done thousands of times. So, who knows :/

Depends on the person. Personally I hate all those PVP/faction/minigame servers.
I only find small, purely survival servers or modded servers to be fun.
