My Opinion on Minecraft Server Activity

[Zeedin]

You can't rely on  admin influenced activity, it's a false reality.  The server should eventually be able to sustain itself without the owner having to be online every second of the day.  My point with server retention and expansion is that all successful networks, businesses, companies, you name it.  They have some form of expansion and retention to make it successful.  Even the army has these qualities, they expand through advertisement campaigns and government support, and they retain recruits though unique army experience and pride of fighting for the country.

I look forward to seeing MCP become successful, and I hope you set up forms of expansion and retention to help with the success.

But it dose MCP has been running with out us touching for the 6+ months now and it has slowly fallen because there of this. If the admins are not active on the server there is no new content being made for the server so there is nothing to keep players on once they hit X goal. And for the "networks, businesses, companies" thing they all are ever changing and adapting too, you cant find a company that is successfully today and look back 2-3 years and say they are the same company/business you need to adapt to stay current. If this was not true then nothing would ever change and the world would look the same as the 1900s. You wouldn't make one season of a TV show and expect people to keep rewatching it, you A) Make season 2+ or B) People stop watching is because there is nothing left to gain from it, the same goes for MCP.

For me I see Admins as content creators for the server, you may see them them as different.

But Silas and I have started work again on MCP/CDGS and like I said we are dumping a ton of time and money into it, so please enough with these posts these things take time we can't just spring 100+ people over night, if we could we wound. Hopefully we should see the effect in the next 3-6 weeks.

Also MCP in the past 3 months has gotten just about 4000 different people to join witch is not bad, the main problem is not having the core player base on and that is why new content is so important.
