wow 7 pages of the same shite being rehashed, cheers for that , i dont have a sonic screwdriver to rewind and recover the last 5 minutes of reading all that.

so many things I could say but actually at the end of the day ,its the same on most community minecraft servers lately, due to many factors , the time of the year, the age group and mentality of the players , new interests, new games, real life events.

Yes it would be nice to see numbers up and maybe adding some new plugins might renew it, but then that no different of adding another MC server with extra plugins such as pokemon server which i was recently asked about, or even Overload pack (ATL) , direwolf20 server (FTB).

In those scenarios you still end up giving people the choice of playing on those servers and not on the build1 server , so there is no quick fix.

Even Build2, which is AT Launcher running Overload Pack, it in a quiet period.

While I can appreciated the frustration Xeno has for making large builds in a survival server, that in itself is where the mistake really lies, one person cant realistically do that on their own, and should get others to join them.

The buycraft donation plugin can help alot with managing whitelists, adding the initial people to it and then let it do the work once people stop being tight and making excuses, then donate , every little helps to pay the bills, it aint free and never was.

If something needs doing like region or other Op help thats what the forums /shoutbox is for.

Hard to believe Xeno been playing for as long as stated and only registered on 25th dec 2013. , xmas day. ..... ......

Based on what xeno and others have said , build2 is the same as if build1 had new and interesting mods added, so then why is it also lacking in players.... tis vicious circle .... you provide them with the mods, features that are interesting /cool and yet very few are playing...

so even if we had multiple servers catering to all tastes you can never keep them all busy.

....

Xenol has been around about 3 years, He just hasn't really been active on the forums, just servers. I think a lot of MC players have moved to Minigame style servers, which probably explains some of the quietness. In regards to B2, A lot of users just don't know how to install mods outside of the FTB launcher, and many have never heard of ATLauncher (The amount of help requests I get installing my mod is crazy, people put the zip in the jar and class files in texturepacks and stuff lol), which is a reason it lacks players.
