Minecraft Servers Advertising - dmanrules - 05-07-2013
I feel this thread has been needed a long time so here goes. (This applys to all minecraft servers it's only in the build 1 sub-forum because it had to be in one)
I think it is obvious to say that the minecraft servers traffic was low through most of the year. With that said, summer is approaching which should increase minecraft traffic a lot, however this is only possible if they can find our servers.
The best way for them to find our servers is through advertising. Advertising brings a lot of traffic to the servers but this is only possible if they can see our advertisements. There are at the moment many advertisements for the servers up right now. For example build 1 and legit are on minestatus. Minestatus is a great place to advertise but this is only if your server has a lot of votes. As I am writing this build 1 and legit have 0 votes on minestatus. This puts them at the bottom of the minestatus list out of the thousands of servers ours are at the bottom.
So here's where the community comes in, sure if I make this thread everyone will vote for the server once and we'll get some more people but then the votes on mcservers,minestatus and planetminecraft will be reset. How I see advertising working is through in-game rewards for voting for the servers. I see this on a lot of servers and it works well, they reward something like 3 diamonds for every website they vote for the server on. On build 1 it can be tricky because items are free at spawn but you can also reward xp ect. I see some legit players arguing that it's not legit to receive a reward in-game for just voting and I completely agree. We're going to need to find them something we can reward that doesn't take away from the server legitness.
For example it would be like this servers: http://vote4diamonds.com/
Last thing I'd like to say is plugins, I think build1 is lacking fun plugins for regs, for example the supernatural plugin was removed, this was because a ton of ops were bitching about how constantly they are being asked to change somebody's class. I understand that and it's a fair point but I know 90% of regs enjoyed that plugin and maybe some even left because of it being removed (I'm not bringing this up in particular,I'm not asking for the plugin back it's just an example).
Anyway comment on what you think about an in-game reward voting system and comment what you think the reward should be.

A mini-game server would work out pretty well I think, or just make more mini-games on build1. Also can I have a link to the Planetminecraft post , im pretty popular on there and im sure I can get it raised in popularity.

Trouble with having lots of plugins is of course, the stress being put on the box. Last I heard, build-1 was almost maxing out the CPU on the box it was being hosted on.
But I do agree, we do need SOME new plugins, maybe things that help add something to themed builds, as an example, I like to build alot of castles. But having no real portcullis is abit boring, there is a plugin which allows this.
Same can be said for more modern builds. We need something to enforce the theme of whatever the players decide to build.

You dont need plugins for mini-games , you can basically copy the shematics to the map. But i do think you need an extra world for that.

This brings up a great point. I think that the servers could use a lot more publicity, and voting would be good, but we also need to get our name out there. maybe making a youtube channel would be good, dedicated to mR, steam events, etc. this could help the community grow, causing the servers to grow, causing everything to grow.

Supernaturals and Votifer will be loaded on next reset for build1, will probably need some setup.
http://www.youtube.com/user/mikesrevengemedia <--- our official-unofficial youtube channel. If you have some videos you like to load PM me or join teamspeak. Maybe we can make a forum for video uploads.
Also, what if we had a webpage like mikes-revenge.net/vote that linked to all the voting sites?
Is it just minestatus and planetminecraft?
RE: Minecraft Servers Advertising - bmanrules - 05-07-2013
I was considering making a thread on the Minecraft forums, but they don't exactly have much in terms of voting, apart from following/repping posts, so mainly planetminecraft and minestatus.

I think maybe a PVP arena.. something really awesome. Sites like Uber have hundreds of ppl on at a time! (donate donate donate). I'm not saying change B1 to PVP,after all it is a build server, but a huge arena might do the trick nicely. NO ranks.. just a chance to die with honor!
oh.. and yeah yeah.. i know we have a pvp server... but me knowing it doesn't make it pay nor does it get new blood into the forums.
