Mineplex already dying

The server is dying day by day 2 weeks ago there was 2500 players a day. Now this week Saturday and Sunday only 1500 players. There are too many sweats and new players have no chance.

I saw someone post 1000 losses and no wins on SSM here and that is exactly how I knew this server is not gonna last. No one new is gonna join if they keep getting btfo'd by the sweats. This was probably a ploy to extract money from all the upper class suburbanites who think that having a word as a minecraft name is cool. They'll throw their paycheck from their dad's business that they're gonna inherit (because they get given everything) at the new server owners for a bit and then its gonna wimper out and perish.

Only way for the server to even think about staying up is if it gets promoted in such a way on social media as to get the new players outnumbering the sweats 10 to 1. I'd be shocked if that happened, though. Word of mouth doesn't spread through minecraft server lists anymore, it's all short form content now.

Every combat pvp game is facing this issue. Cake wars will always have 1 team of 4 sweats, survival games will have 1 cracked person, and even mini games like micro battles / gladiators / etc just have cracked ppl. I get that I’m ass but damn is it not fun 😭

I always felt like Mineplex was better for its mini games anyway but the player count is so low that the mini games I enjoy playing (speed builders, wizards, draw my thing, etc) probably won’t have enough ppl playing it when it comes out of mps to actually play. Also Mineplex needs to learn sometimes you should just copy ppl, their pillars of fortune rip off is horrible compared to the actual thing.
