Millions of servers. Make it unique.

THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM

[boxvader2]

People don't like to join empty servers. Grab some friends and have them play with you hopefully attracting others.

[Pigsy]

I would say be unique. Hire someone to code for you if you're willing to go that far.

Is it a sandbox server? Even just yourself on the server if its a sandbox helps alot. When i get on to test my badly written code people will join and start playing and building on it

Yes its sandbox

1. Dont buy a 32+ slot server, start with 15 or 20
2. Use a unique name, or just go "|50 Jobs|Custom|Unique|Cool Printers"
3. Invite friends

There are a ton of sandbox servers so you need to do something to convince people to come back.

I dont buy servers. I just use my home to host it.

and i have ddos protection :happy:

It's because you WANT people to join your server.

Nobody ever joins when you want them to.

But when you host online to play with friends and forget to set a password the server fills in 5 minutes.

you what m8?

don't expect players if you're home hosting either.

Not true at all either. I home hosted a css server four to five years ago and got players on it all the time. Was it smooth playing with more than 5 people? Hell no it wasn't. But i still got people on it. Its far more efficient and better to buy a dedicated or vps than it is to host at home. You'll save yourself in the long run
