Ive been a dev on many servers, and seen many successful plugins and concepts among them. 14. add player jobs, so players can earn money without needing to sell itemsmaybea spawner would be worth 7.5kcurrently your economy is high up, a spawner is 75k and that's a high economy, why not try to implement the same worth with lower pricesreset the economy, the lower the prices the better 13. staff need to try not to be bonded to players, that leaves to biased results, try to keep the staff friendly with playrs and donators however not become good friends, keep staff together in factions but players separated, and don't let them ally, another server I was on my fac enemied a fac whos allies were staff, the staff anniahlated my faction and led to me and 20 players leaving, staff need to be there to help players but not help anniahlatethey will do the same for you and the servers will share players, and as they will be a lot bigger you will gain a lot more players but again I would say this is a low priority/not amazing idea. 12. partner up with a big server that offers things you don't have but doesn't have things you do, that way you advertise their server on beast, say if they have skyblock and creative you have a broadcast "like skyblock? prefer to build with unlimited possibilities? check out (name input here) our newest partner server 11. Bending, not sure if you've seen it, not sure if you like it, it is just fun for some people, if only donors get it people may be more inclined to pay for a rank bringing in more income but it also adds new strategy to the game 10. get a fun mini game for friends with no risk, like a spleef arena with a bit the player lands in when they lose, this means the players don't die and a group of friends can have fun 9. get a mini game so the players can earn rewards like mob arena 8. (to help the server owner and developers) don't you always get annoyed when the server has to be closed to install or remove a new plugin? the installer plugin will allow the server to manage and add new plugins in game, best bit is only the people the owner choosesto allow to can do it 7. auction house plugin, lets players put items in the auction house kinda like a player shop, this removes lag and spam from the auction plugin 6. get the chest kits plugin, it allows you to put the kit in the chest and when they do /kit they get a chest with the items in it, saves the player some invent room 5. make a cheaper monthly rank, so players who cant spend very much can spend say £1.50 a month or something, and they can cancel paying at any time, it works quite well, and will bring more money in for the server to advertise with 4. have weekly server challenges, one that works well for that would be the splateds elementals plugin, I encountered it once on a server before and it was a great event to get players on, it creates a large elemental creature (lava, water, stone, etc you can make your own) which are basically invisible giants with surrounding blocks, looks really cool, and staff can take control of them with commands (you can make them punch kick walk etc,) however if you don't implement this plugin I will be able to see why, but make sure you check it out before you judge it 3. ask massivescraft developers (developers of the plugin factions) if beast can get the traits plugin, it allows the player to select a set amount of traits each rank allows, like fire resistance water breathing absorbtion etc etc etc 2. Infernal Mobs, come between lvl 1-10 , each level makes em harder, drop good items tho. 1. Enchants+ adds flight boots(they lose all durability in 3 minutes) venom enchants wither enchants armor regen enchants tonnes of stuff, always a good idea to use. I don't know if any of these are in use currently but they are fresh and successful ideas ive seen and put into action on other servers.
Most of these are for servers for less skilled players. The changes Beast has been making recently are to make it harder for everyone. Also, Custom enchants (enchants+) is horrible. Not many pvpers like it.
well maybe the reason less and less players are joining/staying is because beast is making it too hard.
The changes that are being made is for the EULA, making it fair for all players - but also hard (because that's what factions is). Some of these suggestions would be cool if we weren't a factions server.
