My current thoughts on running a server/some info

Now I feel I should inform you that there is an almost guaranteed decrease in admin activity coming up due to the reason that I'll be starting school

Maybe choose some new admins? I don't know how difficult of a process that is for you but if activity is going down at least get some more people to try and keep it up, whether MCP goes down this version or in V6 i'm sure everyone would like to play long as possible, even though you said this will not be happening for a long time you should still make it as great as ever before it shuts down so that's what everyone remembers it for.

My drive to work on the server and general interest in doing so is not very high at the moment

Once again you should find someone to help you run the server, that way it's not you and Zeedin doing all the work, split it up with another person so it's not as much, with not much work i'm sure it will be more motivating.

However it is probably a safe bet to make that MCP will never get past a V6 and maybe never get there

The community wants it to get there, the staff want it to get there, for the third time, if it's too much work get some help, but everyone loves MCP, people who play on MCP have to like it otherwise they wouldn't be playing. Everyone is affected(mostly everyone) positively by something YOU created, even with all the work I don't see why there is a possible shutdown chance, I understand running a server can be a huge pain in the ass, but wouldn't you rather have that pain in the ass and keep the community and everyone who admires what you made, or just get rid of the pain in the ass and lose the server that you worked countless hours building up to be good as possible? I don't think you should shutdown any time soon. I think you should continue running the server with your staff team until you absolutely can't run it anymore for whatever reason.

These are just my thoughts on the situation, not meant to be rude or pushy

I agree with Tysun. Ever since Brian brought me on MCP I have played the server most of my time. I couldn't imagine waking up and not being able to join MCP and talk to TG , Brian , Jereh , and all the rest of friends like I do everyday.
