is there anything we can do to the current map that will bring people back or make others more active? long term wise?
I don't feel like reseting the map is a long term solution. Also creating something like "a new start" where you start fresh a couple thousand from spawn would serve the same function as a map reset but without actually reseting the map. I notice each reset will have many active players at start then activity starts to lessen until its just us people who like long term maps left. Particularly us with big or many builds. Its not as fun playing by ourselves. Then we start to not play as much since theres only like 5 longterm players with mostly different schedules. Sometimes I see others but usually its for a short time since they usually go to bed an hour or so after I log on.
I would say build a shop town, or mini game town, etc. but thats not a long term fix. Once people run out of ideas, we are back to square one.
If you got any long terms fixes please comment below.

is there anything we can do to the current map that will bring people back or make others more active? long term wise? I know I would get on more if I had time, and I will whenever I do have time. Other people may be having the same issue. As far a solution to have people be more active I think more in game interaction would help with that. It could be group builds, a shop town, mini-games, or just fun activities. The more people interact on the server the more people will want to be on the server (unless they are just solo building hermits, but if so why play on a server?). That is why I joined the server as well as many other people I think. I wanted a community, a group of friends to do things with on the server. I watched mindcrack videos before I joined the server and wanted something like that. I know there was a lot of hype about quadrants, and activity was huge the first few weeks. I think that was because there was potential for a lot of interaction and teamwork things. I think the reason that died down was due to finals and school and other time consuming things. I am not saying we should do quadrants. Maybe on another map, but we should not need a reset for at least a couple more months. We just need more group dynamics.

I proposed an idea to Jack the other day about maybe having a themed map? e.g. we all vote on what theme the next map has and our builds have to fit in with that theme

why not have one giant city away from spawn chunks with various districts. each district could be themed like redstone, medieval, minigame, mountain town, farming etc. They are pretty straight forward redstone is anything involving redstone devices, medieval is like castles and wood/stone buildings, minigame has various games/activities to do with others, mountain town is like log cabins and mineshafts.
We could just as easily separate the themed districts into their own towns if that were to be the preferred method.
There is clearly a similar build style halfish of the active members use. I'm thinking if we vote we would just get a build style these people use.

As long as there is a roman or greek theme... Also, I have been a bit inactive due to being busy with other stuff, and dreading working on the project I have on there...
