I am willing to do MC again only if: 1) We raise enough money to run for at least 3 months (which should be around 132 if we use the old host). If people pay for it, we will administrate it. (contact me or bom first if you are interested in helping fund a new minecraft server) 2) We assemble a proper staff who are actually willing to work on the server. As I said when the last server shut down: if there is ever a new server then we will need more staff. Me and Bom have briefly talked about some basics but I will let him share some ideas in here.

I'm all for it and I hope it works out! The popularity bell curve seems to be true for all servers even our CSGO ones but it's especially worse for MC (which is why it failed so often). Mostly regulars play for a while and make factions (add in QQ, etc) exploring all that is new in the newest updates, then get bored and quit. We'd have to brainstorm something innovative to both attract and retain players. Off the top of my head are regular hunger games events, various mods like Tekkit, monthly map wipes, multiple worlds[survival/creative/hardcore], scavenger hunts, rewards that transfer over to our CS servers (ex. win a contest in MC and you win store credits in CSGO).

The first server host I googled had a 2GB SSD VPS for $20/mo. Link to comment

I'm all for it and I hope it works out! IF population declines we could variably adjust our server plan according. For example, if we spend a lot on a big server and have it always full, great. If suddenly only 5-10 are playing, we could just drop to a cheaper option until it starts to reach max capacity. Link to comment

Our last server cost $44/month. $20 servers are often complete shit but I suppose with sufficient research on the providers, we can try some out. ------------------------- Also I should mention that it is now possible to set up a 1.8.1 server with working plugins. We could also attempt Tekkit or FTB again ( which were quite popular in the past but demand a powerful server ) 1 Edited March 10, 2015 by SilentGuns Link to comment

Mandeemoo007 Posted March 11, 2015 Content Count: 1459 Joined: 01/07/14 Status: Offline Share Posted March 11, 2015 I am pretty good at building in Minecraft. Although I haven't played it in about a year, I could help out with building the starting areas and stuff. And if I do get admin, I would be happy to help out moderating the server. Link to comment
Fishey Posted March 11, 2015 Content Count: 569 Joined: 09/15/12 Status: Offline Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yea, played every MC server sense tekkit. Though some of the reasons I have quit before is that my base has been grieved multiple times so I hope we could coach down on that. I would be willing to help out in the server anyway I can. Maybe we should do mid apps again. Link to comment
vorter Posted March 11, 2015 Content Count: 1076 Joined: 09/25/09 Status: Offline Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'd scout out the massive 1000 player servers and survey the players as to why they prefer that server. Link to comment

We could also attempt Tekkit or FTB again (which were quite popular in the past but demand a powerful server) I agree with this as I am a big lover of modded minecraft, but I'm going to point out the down side of it after most players hit the end game of the main mods of the pack people tend to quit faster then in vanilla. At least that my experience. If we do end up getting either I am willing to help in what ever way I am able to, whether its creating plugins or moderating. @SilentGuns @BoM Edited March 11, 2015 by R3TROATTACK Link to comment
