No support. I don't get your suggestion that much. Isn't it not EULA compliant that much if we add more ranks and stuff? And I don't agree that Mineverse is dead...
Statistically, Mineverse has had a decrease in players as most servers have. Minecraft is dying (not nearly as popular as it used to be), it's not really a Mineverse problem.
10% of the 1000 were probably rude and disrespectful players that loved rulebreaking. No one really needed them anyways. No support.
No support. You don't aren't even describing the change you want to be made. Maybe come back when you have a completed idea, then we could take that into consideration.
It's Minecraft itself. Everyone is hacking now and they get banned and stuff. Also, just a few Minecrafters play anymore because they have jobs now or maybe families.
What rank could possibly bring new members? People don't join servers in order to donate, that's not how it works in the slightest. For a server to gain more traffic, it needs to appeal to more people. People need to enjoy playing on the server in order to stick around. People who join to PvP are leaving because there are too many people cheating. As stated previously, Minecraft isn't as populated as it once was. People grow out of games as new ones are developed and created. In the two years I've been within this community, I have watched as many people have moved on with their lives, and stopped playing altogether. It's not an abnormal act.
You think that in 2014 people magically didn't have school? Even on school days there were close to 1000
