If you look back at every year of Mineverse's timeline, you will clearly see a pattern. That pattern is that every year since 2014/2015 the server has been steadily losing players. In 2013 the server was growing and in mid/late 2014 it reached its peak with 1-3 thousand active players online at a time. 2015 was still alright for the server, it didn't have as many people as in 2014 but it still reached around a thousand players at a time. But in 2016, 2017 and 2018 the server has been quickly going downhill. In 2016 there were still a few hundred players on at a time, in 2017 it barely reached 100 players and now as I type this on the 26th of December 2018 there are currently only 13 players on Mineverse. In fact if you go to google trends and type in "Mineverse", you can see how interest has slowly been lost over time. Here are 2 graphs.
Both of these graphs show how Mineverse has been becoming less relevant each year and that it peaked in 2014. Why is this so important? Well if the server continues losing players at this rate then the server will have shut down by late 2019 or early 2020. Now you might argue that the graphs only show how many people have actually searched Mineverse, not how many people are actually on the server but I, and many others have been on the server over the years and I can confirm that the player counts have been decreasing each year. Now for the final question. Why would I post this? Well I posted this so Noobcrew or Cypriot can see this and realize that they need to do something. Resetting game modes and removing them does not fix anything! All it does it drive people away. For example, when Infection got a reset, about a quarter of the Infection players didn't play it any more after the reset. Also you removed that game mode, which many of us had spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours playing over the years. Also lets not mention the reset in skyblock (I have been through 2 skyblock resets in my time on this server) and many other game modes. Also this server doesn't enough advertising any more. In fact I found this server in a server list website back in the day. Think how many others could find it too. Noobcrew and Cypriot, you need to act now if you want a future for this server. Since I started Minecraft, I have seen tons of servers come and go and even some as old as this server and it is clear how much this server is dying and that it will not last much longer. I want others to join this server and make memories just as I did once. Thank you for reading this.
Edit: Also Merry Christmas everyone. Let's hope the server lives to see another Christmas.

 

I imagine it shuts down next year if what the results show are true, which they are. Problem is, while MC isn't necessarily dying, the multiplayer mode is. No matter what we think of, in reality it won't draw the amount we need to keep the server alive, as other servers already found what attracts players' attention and made it appealing before we even think of it. If we want MV to survive, we need to evolve to something better, with a bigger community of players that we could easily attract people to the community (I'm referring to a different game to focus on fyi).

 

We are at a point at which there are only few Minecraft servers thriving but they have thousands of players each. Take Hypixel for example. It has put hundreds of other servers out of business because it is taking most of the players. A few years ago players were more distributed on different servers rather than just a few select ones. Yes Mineplex had tens of thousands of players back then but Minecraft was thriving back then and even with tens of thousands of players on a single server there were still hundreds of thousands of players on other servers. Now that Minecraft isn't at its peak anymore players have flocked to the huge servers while medium servers from the old days were left to die. In the future, there will most likely be less and less huge servers until there are only a few servers left with thousands of players on them because the multiplayer of this game is going downhill. Right now as I type this Hypixel has 10815 players online while the second biggest server only has 2334 players. The gap will only increase with time as the mega servers kill off the medium servers.

 

lol

so spooky !

 

Uh oh. Noobcrew u better do something ab this cuz mv is my favorite server and i'll probably quit mc when it shuts down.

 

If everyone is going down because of these "mega servers", Noobcrew needs to take immediate action to try to save this server. Maybe add more gamemodes? More choices would probably allow us a more fighting chance against these larger competitors.

 

hypixel gonna snatch all them players and soon microsoft is gonna be like y'all getting shut down and multiplayer will just be hypixel xdxd

 

I seriously doubt there were 200 players on at one time. Unless you can prove it with a screenshot but I get that you are a mod and that you have to support the server at whatever cost but surely you also see that it has been going downhill? I didn't post this to spread fake news about Mineverse dying.

That is probably exactly what will happen in a few years at this rate.

 

that's pretty dumb. why would they shut it down when they're clearly making money from every aspect of the game.. lol

 

The fact that the owner of the server is now manager on another server is pretty amazing too.

 

Oh lol

 

big deal, hes not really needed too much if the server has still lasted this far
if he wants to do other things let him lol

 

why should we? mineverse is a complete sh*thole and he's out here managing other servers? his priority should be his own servers, especially in the state they are in.

i don't know about you, but for me, this entirely confirms he has no interest in the server or reviving it at all.

 

Noobcrew hasn't even been on Mineverse in over 90 days. Do /staff and you can see. I am trying to contact him on discord currently because as someone who is "OG" to Mineverse I don't want to see this server die. The server hasn't lasted this far because of him. For the past 2 years noobcrew has been neglecting this server and focusing on other servers. He doesn't even advertise this server any more. The only thing keeping this server alive is that it still has some people from the golden ages and it very rarely gets new people. Noobcrew will see what the consequences of him neglecting the server are. It will not survive another year at this rate.
