Good to see constructive comments we need more of this.
So to address some of the things you said.
Silas and I have tons of ideas on things we would like to add, like more RP elements for making money like you would see in an IRL jail and just more RP elements in general. The problem with adding these more complex game play elements it tends to turn people away more, or people not use them. The only way to get it to work is have a high payer base that can spread the word of how fun it is, and yes that is a bit of a catch-22.
As for the money side of things MCP dose not really have problems paying for the bill, and there are the tools there to see the stats of items sold. This may be the first month in long time that it may not cover its bill. The main thing is for MCP not to be pay to win like so many other servers. If money every becomes a problem and we want to continue with this project I can get the server running for as low as $30 a month without giving up our system specs, we would have to drop the other servers kuz MCP is a big girl and likes her 40gigs of ram.
The main thing we always get back to is the main player base for minecraft is very young, and most of them want a crap ton of money, OP itams, rank up 100 times, PvP and building and they don't care about RP elements. The only person I have see have luck with more complex servers ideas is Robert Moran with is DvZ and LOM servers, and that is because of his YouTube flowing.
Now that Silas and I are done school and Silas not knowing what he want to do and me having a year off before I start first year eng, we have a lot of time we can spend on MCP now.
Curntley I am staring work on plugin development so Silas dose not need to spend months finding a dev and the money that goes with it. Silas hopes to update/rework the event system because that is running on tech made two years ago in hopes to breath more life into MCP. *(Kids like that shit don't know why, joked about making a pure event server once because of it)
TL;DR come up with some ideas the are cool fun and don't turn people away, and donate.
Also fuck off if you are going to be a grammar nazi.
And if you don't know RP=Role Play
