Minecraft Name: DrowningInPizza Suggestion: A new donation option, I wont say a feature. But a spot where people who want more users, would be able to donate to a fund for advertisements. Potentially offering small rewards, like event tokens or some nether stars. Reason: Alot of people recently, have brought up the fact that ECCs player base is dwindling. And it has, however I do recall a day where Andrew had thrown up an advertisement for an hour or two, and the amount of new players joining was insane. I personally, and I know a number of other old users, would love to see ECC back in its glory, as well as keeping the server alive. I understand advertising can be expensive so this could be an opportunity for others to be able to help keep the server pumping <3 Other Information: N/A Link to this plugin/Is this a custom addition?: N/A
+1 - I don't know how many people would be interested in donating however netherstars, event tokens or an achievement sound like good motives. I would love to see ECC hit triple digit peaks again, and this could be a decent way of helping.
Honestly its a good idea. If you can get "free" advertising, why not do it, it will finally make people stop saying that the server is dying even though its got a steady amount of people playing. For the rewards make it appropriate to the amount people pay. You guys are usually good with that kind of stuff. I'm sure you would get some buyers
To quote Jamie from previous suggestions: During yesterday's Discord podcast Jamie mentioned the problem that the player retention from advertising is extremely small. In my opinion it's not worth it to spend a fortune on advertising to get a player spike that disappears quickly afterwards. I'm pretty sure I've seen that happen a few weeks ago.
Yeah I think actually just finally doing the things we say we are gonna do would probably bring back a lot of players who have gotten bored, it would bring back a lot of the aem users who have plain given up, and attract users who are interested in skyblock.
Skyblock will bring some i dont think a lot tho like everything else we took to long.... we also have many many issues with the main server that need to be fixed that would help us retain players.
Yea, waited wayy to long with all of the AEM transfer shit, lost all of those players, they are long gone. Only a handful will return once sky block actually comes out..
Currently our stats on that are actually contrary. Plus, we plan on emailing the AEM forums to alert them that skyblock has returned, along with their previous features.
It may bring a lot of players, but not alot of new players unless you advertise it, Or do they hear from some other way?
