In 2011-mid 2013 I had a server, then funds were going low, map was getting boring and it was way to hard of work for me since I was doing volonteer work from 8am-6:30pm daily, being tired, getting on the server and not getting any good news, and made mistakes as an owner because I would make the mistake of trusting people, and trying to always improve the server.
4 days ago a had 3 events happen that made me start up another server.
One. Wook up missing minecraft server hosting.
Two. Saw an old player on a random server, he almost passed out, we are now good friends.
Three. Got a notification from chromobyte, my server host that I still had enough money to renew my fragslip.net domain and pay for a month of a 2gb server.
So, I did. The next day after setting up spawn, shop, all plugins I wanted it was not yet done, but the news leaked that fragslip was starting back up and everyone got really excited. I opened it to the public too early and they were all complaining about how the server was crap and they were not able to do enough commands. At the same time people were just simply screaming my name in caps freaking out. I finished the "beta version 2" of my server this morning, updating it with full permissions and ranks, no bugs, and very clean server. Perfect for a nice little community to have 10 players average (50 slots, but more than 15 slots filled would be pushing it due to the 18 plugins I had to install to make it great)
So I publish the server on planet minecraft, and on minecraftservers.org, make it so that the players can do /vote and click on the links, and then there is 2 people on, other than me. Everyone had just left the server, no one has even joined and left very much, just no activity at all. I try to make the server perfect. Getting the ip by tomorrow so anyone can type in fragslip.net for the ip and get in.
I really need help with getting back my players because I am not going to waste this money, I will keep this community going.
First off, try writing that the server has been updated, and that the permissions have been set up, and all that stuff.
Might also wanna try telling your friends about it.
I think I might join too. ^.^
EDIT: also, might wanna try recruiting some of the older players or advertising it possibly if you get more space by advertising it with ads on the server list sites.
Hope this helped!
