Hello, today I will be talking about and providing suggestions to the problems that contribute to the fact of few players playing this server anymore.

So, why is the player base so low? As of right now, I have noticed that really the only players on this server are the ones who have played Pixelmc when it was affiliated with Sky Servers. Some of these "senior" players like to play because the server holds sentimental value to them, or want to play because they hope to see some of the old players they knew when it was in its glory days.

So, one of the first reasons why the server has a lower player count is because of the spawn. I understand that great spawns take time, but this spawn feels cramped and enclosed. I do think that the opening pokeball look is pretty creative, but what was done inside of it did not blend well. When someone thinks of a pokeball, I do not think that the first thing that comes to mind is a mini town-like place. If you were going to redo the spawn, I think that it would look better if there was more of a electronic or future-like feel to it.

Something else that all servers need are dedicated staff. I do not want to hate upon the hardworking staff members, but some glitches that players have abused have gone unnoticed and should be corrected. In the market, players have taken the items and destroyed the signs, ruining it for other players looking for the item to catch their eye. If you place glass on the itemframe, the item is now protected and players do not need to spend time looking at every sign in the market to find the one item they needed. We have an advent event currently going on in the server, for players to collect items every day, counting up to Christmas. Players who log on to see that x day's kit was not available yet, and it is 3 days later, think that the staff are not keeping on track. The only staff member that I have seen trying to help with the kits was Matak, but he should not be the only one doing it. I fully understand that staff members have lives to live, but why is it that only him and Obelisk are the ones taking care of the server?

Finally, there needs to be some sort of event that encourages larger amounts of players to get on and play for a bit. If there are events for players to look forward to, the server can become more competitive. If weekly or monthly tournaments were started, then players who wanted the rewards would need to play more to level up their team, and when new players log on and see that there is an active community, then they will want to stay. Another great way of doing this is thinking of some sort of event or chat game that would be exclusive to this server.


If we can make some modifications and/or improvements to the server, then I think that players will want to stick around and play more. I hope that along with the hard work of the staff and the dedication of players new and old to the server, we can make pixelmc popular again.
