Hey there server owners!

I've been having this annoying thing constantly happen to a Modded SMP I co-own and am the lead developer on. People get interested from a reddit ad or other means of advertising, join the discord, log on and play for a couple hours, genuinely have fun but then log off, seem to forget about it, never log on again and mute the discord.

I swear I have tried basically everything to keep people engaged, list below:

  • Encouraged people to bring friends along since the economy I coded has explicit support for group accounts
  • Conducted contests for in game prizes
  • Create an lfg (Looking for group) channel in the discord
  • Giving sneak peeks at upcoming features
  • Constantly sharing plans to show dedication
  • Doing polls on certain topics
  • Announce the end will unlock at 175+ people in the discord

Besides the couple of players who continuously log back on, the place becomes silent a handful of the time...
Basically though my question is this: Does anyone have any idea why people do this sort of thing and is there anything else I can really do?
