How to attract people to my server?
Deadzone:
Starting earlier in the day helps. Make something that values well in replay ability. Have friends; if you get about four friends to join, that will put your server that much higher on the list, people won't have to go digging for it.
Alternatively you could 'multi-client', but that's an starfish thing to do as well as CPU burning.

I dont see whats wrong with multiclienting just to get past that godawful spool-up period. As long as you get rid if them when you have enough players to become self sufficient, instead of purposefully using it to stay at the top of the list.
Zeblote:
Send false information to the master server, the rtb server and fake the player list for people who actually join! Then slowly replace the fake players with real ones. Afaik that could actually work

This will get your key revoked, but I know people who've done it in intelligently and gotten away with it. Just don't do what I did, transmitting the server name, players, max players, bricks, and gamemode as "69."
Kevin:
Build a server worth joining, build content worth looking at. Post a gallery topic, host often.
Generally you should eventually be able to get a few people who like playing with you on a regular basis assuming you can do it right.
I had 10 or so regulars a long time ago, stopped hosting and building much and that went away.
Good luck dude.
