My opinion on the "low" amount of players. by SnowSX3 October 24, 2014 at 4:10 AM UTC
People worry too much about the amount of players online these days.We're constantly coming up with new ideas on how to get more people to play on Avicus but will Avicus truly be better once 1500+ players are constantly on our servers?
If Avicus reaches over 1000 regulars with 200 people always on the forums will Avicus truly be a better place?
If we have 300+ moderators will Avicus truly be a better place?
If every server on Avicus is full will Avicus be a better place?
If Avicus becomes the most popular Minecraft server ever will Avicus be a better place?
I understand the benefits of having more players join Avicus, I really do.
But what's the point of having hundreds and hundreds of people on if the community is watered down and saturated?
It's about Quality over Quantity.
It's about the Community, not the Numbers.
Some people seem to forget that.
Edit: I'm not saying that low numbers are beneficial to the server, I'm saying that people are too fussed over the number of players and not the existing community.
We need to focus on the community, not the amount in our community.

I completely agree. I might get a lot of hate for saying this, but I actually like the amount of players we have right now, as opposed to a few months ago, when it was about 600 players average. Nowadays I can actually find a peaceful Nebula match to enjoy, without randys spamming and hackusating. Before this, you couldn't even get a Senex match with less than 50 people.Numberz_ October 24, 2014 at 4:10 AM UTC
This is not low its dead.

Ok, on the weekend, it spikes up to 200-300+ users. #timezoneissues@OP: I agree 100%!

Well if avicus had more players there would be more of the idiots that come around and grief, spam , complain and annoy us. I would not want more players.Joao_Victor October 24, 2014 at 11:10 AM UTC
I agree with Snow.It may sound like i'm just making excuses, but you could blame the drop mostly on school starting, of course it isn't just that.
But just look at the player count drop in early September were school starts for most of the US, the player count went from 300 to 150.
As Fluenza said, we still get 300-500 on the weekends.

The server isn't dead.I used to play on a server that averaged to 30-50 players on WEEKENDS until the owner quit minecraft.After that the moderator bought the server and he quit minecraft as well.This server is far from even dying.Its only beginning to blossom.

Also,I'm perfectly fine with the amount of people on.Only thing is,all the servers are either full or with no people.Its hard to find a good map in nebula fonctunal to play on...

Everyone is overreacting. I love this server (basically grew up here) but stop sounding desperate. These posts aren't helping. Think about it, a new player joins, he notices the amount of players on, then he joins the forums. He sees these posts about the server dying and says to himself, "This is server is for noobs. My should i spend my time on a server that is going to die." NEWS FLASH!!!!!!! This server isn't dying, so please just drop this topic.zdq October 24, 2014 at 3:10 PM UTC
Bring back Hunger Games, exactly how it used to be in MC Zone. Avicus has lost so many people because Avicus removed HG.zdq October 24, 2014 at 3:10 PM UTC
Also, loosen up a little. When a new player makes a post about their prestige, someone comes along and says, "These posts aren't allowed." That is obviously going to put people off the server.AtditC October 24, 2014 at 3:10 PM UTC
Avicus is just laggy.That's why all are leaving... (r.i.p sfk)

He just used lag as an excuse so he'd seem better.

People are always worrying about getting more players to play on Avicus.
I'm saying that we need to focus on the community we have today.
