Obviously, you can see i care about avicus alot and alot of the players are leaving. half of them just think the server is bad, and the other have life stuff or are raging. The point is, people are leaving about 3 a day and the forum is filled with posts like "leaving" and "Quitting". I am just asking how can i and some others help get a higher player count? I just dont want to see the server go down when, when you join and everybody is socializing, and many friendships would be ruined. I just want to healp
1) Quickest solution is for everyone to create an alt and log on. So when you're playing always have your alt on too! Problem solved! Double the player count immediately.
2) To counter the 'leaving post', every time you see one, create an "I'm staying" post, so we can clutter up the forums more. Put more positivity in the forums!
3) We need a "Bring a Friend" Day! Do raffle for credits or rank for anyone that logged on for the first time that day!
4) Have a Walls Event! That will bring players in droves! First, you need to fix the xml on most of the walls maps, but it can be done!
5) Do some sort of random prize drawing for those new announcements at the end of the game. "Murphh got the most kills this match - 3 kills". Have players post proof of announcement on forums that their name was mentioned and then give them prizes. Prize: Map dev for a day (you pick rotations on one servers),
6) Add a new rank "FRIEND OF AVICUS" - FOA, for anyone who logs on for more than 4 hours per week.

i mean like actual people who will like to play on the server
1 Donate to the server! yes, it will help 2 ask your friends 3 to devs- make a chat filter. there are alot of 10 yr olds who come on and r like what is "f@ck"? 4 maybe post some advertisement on your socialmedia accounts or make a new account and advertise on that one! 5 Make more friends- nobody will want to leave if they have a good friend on the server
Players who use a code get a one day gold rank, but can never use another code again. The code owner recieves a commission or gets closer to a reward of some sort such as 1-month gold rank or something. Basically you have the players do the advertising for you, and in return they get a commission/reward.

Do you want us to advertise on other servers, getting banned?

That's not what he's saying at all. He's referring to real advertising, like voting or spreading the word about the server on the minecraft forums, etc.

Cluttering up the forums is annoying, especially with threads like that. I would hate to see 20 of those on the front page. Number one is also kind of annoying, just having 60 accounts sitting there doing nothing. 4 and 5 are good.
Thank you! How could we have missed it? The secret to getting more players is to make a rule against goodbye posts!!!!
wow
Hmm it is not to get more players it is to stop people watching that kind of posts sorry if I didnt make it clear, remember you dont need to be sarcastic !
In my opinion it would be smarter to keep the player-base rather than getting new ones. At least in the start, and slowly adjusting it to welcome new players in an better way. I'm sure avicus is losing more players now then they are earning, so ye :/
I agree with Lasuz. I think before we look at getting new players, we need to fix the bugs and bring in new stuff that people actually want are willing to come back tomorrow for those rewards, then work on expanding the player count.
literally for as far back as probably about 2 years ago
people have said 'its more important to keep old players than to get new ones'
but where has that got the server?
nothing worth playing for has come out since the implementation of badges which many people didnt find fun grinding for
old players are leaving because tbh minecraft is a near dead game, pvp wise anyway. The updates have made pvp trash and its just not fun to play anymore
people move onto other games that offer new experiences
personally i havent been on for a while so i dont knownwhat the current sitstuion is but for a long time, like seriously long, there were no new maps, gamemodes,anything
ik this is minecraft and these comparisons are wayyyyy different to avicus' situation, but if you havent notcied, people love change, thats a large part of the reason that certain (retarded) decisions happened recently in the real world. People were bored of the same old same old
but honestly who's gonna want to come to a server and play where it has like 20-50 people on max? You might aswell go play badlion or uhc even if avicus does offer a different meta than theyre used to
gl avicus but i dont see this around at the end of the summer
I had like a 2 hours talk with Crazy_ and we talk about this ( and stuffs of my ban that doesn't care ) and I think they, or at least Crazy know what he is doing and what he want to the server I think that it's just time to see some BIG improvements since like how Crazy told me everything ( or at least everything ) has to be aprove by Keenan, and there some things that he doesn't want to come back like prestiges but idk the only thing that I can tell u that there will be big changes in the future

im still questioning why Crazy didnt get Admin cuz i have hardly ever seem PieZ other than when he was promoted

im pretty sure that he made stuffs like behind scenes u know, but i mean i hope Crazy gets promoted too he is one of the best staffs so far and one of the only fews that actually understood me

Timezones? I'm sure Pie's promotion is something everybody was happy about, considering how much he taught the staff team and showed us leadership skills. Crazy would've been great, too, don't get me wrong, I'm just saying that Pie's promotion was very well deserved.
Don't allow players to make "goodbye" threads tbh that's unnecessary if you are quitting let only your good friends know!
Bit hard if you've quit the server; how would you let them know? Some ex-players such as myself only check the forums occasionally so you can leave them a message if you make one.
Keenan has made is pretty clear that Prestiges aren't coming back. (Although I think he might be willing to at some point, if the servers gets to the point where there's 10 people on at max.) So some suggestions could be:
-Find a new money system. Credits honestly suck. They are pointless to try to get, and even if you were trying to get them, what are you going to buy? A badge that isn't all that amazing, a morph that you can only use in the hub, where no one is for more then 2 minutes... A sound effect, that doesn't really do anything for you, and costs a lot of Credits. None of these are even close to spending 7 hours grinding to try to get. Find something that's worth it.
-A leveling system that can be infinite. I'm not sure if this is possible, but from what I understand the reason Prestiges were removed was because it was too hard to update to keep up with how fast people were leveling up. If there's a way to make it infinite, then this wouldn't be a problem, and this could be possible to bring back.
-Keep. Your. Promises. Please. *In the past few months there have been a few different things that have been "Yes, we will add *insert thing here* and it never happens. One of those being the "Walls at the end of Mix rotations." That still hasn't happened. I'm not sure if it just became not possible for the Developers to do or what, but when the community votes and you say "Yes, we will add this" Please do. It just makes the server look like we can't keep up with updates, or keep our promises.
-From what I've heard, a lot of updates don't happen because the Devs "don't want to". That's really not an excuse when you're working as a developer. You're here to developer stuff. Please do. (When it's pointless, I understand. When it's an actual problem that everyone is complaining about, it clearly needs to be fixed. So fix it.)
-The community could not blame everything on the Moderators, maybe? The Moderators don't have any power to update or change anything within the server. They are simply there to get rid to hackers and keep the server a peaceful place. It's just annoying to spam them about "THE SERVER IS BROKEN FIX IT".

as i said before i had a talk with crazy and this was one of the things that we talked about, i was giving him ideas and forms to improve the server but he told me something that its true '' there is just one active developer ALM'' and is active but not that much, u cant just say do this do that when there is just one developer
