Author Topic: How Do I make my Server Popular? (Read 1303 times)

Currently I have a Freebuild server with many Add-ons for Blockland, like guns, legos, medieval weapons, vehicles, etc. But, no one has joined, not one person. Is there any secrets to it or things I have to do first?

Free-builds NEVER get popular, trust me

also add-ons doesn't mean good all the time

WANT help making one?

Sometimes it depends on what kind of addons you have and what theme they are geared for...
If it's a TDM like server, get weapons that have a consistent style.
Do they reload? If so, get guns that simply reload.
Do they reload and have ammo, get Tier Tactical then.
Is it an RP? Get stuff similar to the RP.

Wrong, I once hosted a 25/32 server freebuild and filled it up mostly by saying that I have all brick packs.
Also if you have the lego blaster in your addons folder delete it, it replaces the gun hit sound on every weapon, and it gets annoying.

yes, but I saying, from what he said, he seems to have some pretty bad choices for a free build, also, free builds don't need vehicles

I never said they don't get players, I'm saying that freebuilds aren't popular compared to tdm or rp servers

Rename it "City RP Free Build Admin"

no wait, rename it "zombies in the bluzone 24/7"

Miaq · July 08, 2012, 05:33:06 PM

I think i'll just rename it from Miaq's Freebuild to something better like Miaq's Roleplay Freebuild.

So people are supposed to get around the place by jetting?
I think it would be better for you to be able to drive or fly a plane somewhere, limiting someone to building doesn't sound too fun, a freebuild without vehicles is a server I would not join.

Disconnected's freebuild server was popular

Family RPs get tons of people but they're mostly idiots.

Also, slightly off-topic but I was doing a family RP for the sake of getting people to talk to, and then I wanted to do something different, so I had to restart the server in order to change the name. Out of the 6(?) people there, none of them came back.
