It's happened again, just extremely fast this time. We've been doing servers for like seven years at this point and they always fizzle out but this time was the quickest. It's incredibly unfortunate as I was really excited about the server making a return and having a community again. This was a pretty astonishingly resounding failure in every way you can actually fail to run a server. It's been two years since our previous run and maybe things changed, CW has been getting decreasingly popular and I imagine it's been dropping off especially hard as of late as I've been seeing some of the regularly full bigger servers struggle for players.
As of now, I think there's a few days left in the server so it'll stay up presumably but this is pretty much a DNR notice. No admins will join, I doubt anything will happen and players haven't ever been joining of their own volition anyway so, it's dead.
How we failed:
Admin Inactivity: We're primarily to blame. We've grown up a lot in the past two years, 3-4 of us having full time jobs and the rest being in education or other commitments that take up basically all of our free time. We've not had the time to dedicate to the server
Factions and economy: We tried to exert too much control over items and scripts and ended up strangling the economy of the server, having no factions meant that players found it hard to get involved in a meaningful way and this lead to a lot of "/animidleRP" as we referred to it.
Feel free to comment below and let us know what you think as far as how badly we failed and how we could change for a hypothetical "next time"
We made it three weeks this time, maybe a little longer. This isn't the end I'd like to hope, we've still got our discord and the best part about a community is the players, now we can play actually fun games with you all ;^))
Maybe we'll give it another shot at some point.
LG Never dies.
