Hey just throwing my 2 cents out there
I have been seeing a lot of we need this and that etc.After much thought i think we need to slow down on making new internal serves (minigames,prison) and work on what u have to make the server more appealing to new members.what i mean buy this is upgrade the already ok-ish things you already have to make them unique.
Skyblock- i love playing skyblock and im personally always searching for the most unique and diverse servers for this particular mode.cobblestone generators that spawn ores on different rate. please o please a better more diverse shop its so lack luster compared to shopping mall styles i have seen on many servers.The quest system is bland and is used on every server.
Factions- i generally know nothing of factions to be fair so i cant comment.If u think theres anything to put on this please add it.
You want this server to be populated and people to purchase to help generate currency for the stablitity and server costs these are just a few examples that could help generate more people.
All u have to remember is diversity and being unique from other serves to become better than them and more populated.Its all about the community for example what you built with gmod you did a amazing job building a community buy adding custom things that other gmods didn't have. look i can help as much as i can for publicity research anything.
At the end of the day im a 27 y.o that suffers from agoraphobia that enjoys economy style game play and general gameplay, have 3 daughters 2 of which are massive mc fans.
so please look into what u can improve to make this unique before adding new internal servers.
TLDR: finish what you have and improve before moving on to new things
