Hello TheEpic5 here and I've been wondering "Why is smp6 have like barley players" I've joined smp6 because I joined EMC on smp6, its my home server since the start. So why are people not joining smp6? Exuse me if I put this in the wrong topic. (TheEpic5 here and I appoved my own post Lol.)
If you REALLY wanna try and "Save" a server, you need to bring something new and desirable to it. In a feeble attempt to increase activity in Utopia, I created an outpost and it's doing quite well. Create an outpost with a group of friends. A huge grinder. Something that is unique, and hard to get somewhere else.
I think it's something to do with the number 6. (Seriously ) Pretty much all the servers have open res' so when choosing servers people tend to go for the following numbers: 1: Because it is the first 2: For the unstoppable economy 3: Because 1 and 2 may be too crowded 7: Something about that number...7 Dwarves...7 days....7 wonders of the world... 9: The last server The servers in-between generally seem to have a lower player count than the above. SMP6 being, unfortunately the worst affected.
If you want to "save" smp6 you should probably start something like this: http://empireminecraft.com/threads/the-largest-project-yet-is-about-to-begin-on-smp4.15507/
