I'm in the same boat Laurits. But I kept voting, kept bumping on here. Then unexpectedly, I began suddenly to have people coming on quite a bit. But I had no staff! I have a huge server, dedicated with servers attached, so much to do, so much lovely work done...but nobody to help me greet these newcomers. That was my fall down. But how do you get staff if you haven't got players? I trusted a few newcomers and made them mods; boy did i regret that! Got hacked, had to reset up everything completely! So now I'm starting again. I've tried Google Adwords but it's a waste of money. I do think your best bet is to trust this voting system, vote every day, bump every day on PMC, and keep on these forums regularly, discuss ideas and mention your server in these forums as you do. But I do hope you have staff, my friend! Cos suddenly getting busy is a bad thing if you have none! People hate coming onto an empty server. Yell if I can help you at all. I'm a good staffer on another server, too. I like to see people ask for help with this issue on forums, cos it's honest of you to admit that's it's hard; I agree. But for god's sake don't go flashing on random servers to yell out your ip like some desperadoes do! It's a bad look! Staff recruitment ad attracts a lot of attention, I agree with that suggestion. But beware that all will want to be appointed. What you could do to get round that is say they are to be trialled for say three months...
