New users

What is everyone's opinion on why a lot of new users don't stay on the server that long and how to fix this.

What I think is that they find spawn a little confusing at first. There's not a lot of people on and or speaking. And it's just kinda not very welcoming at first.

Any ideas on how to make animal town a little more welcoming?

Sorry

. Didn't mean to

Well, let's think about this for a minute. There are what, about 20-40 towns on the server with around 100-400 unique players that have joined towns? Sounds like a towny server dream come true am I right? The only problem is, none of the towns are active, there are never more than 5-8 players at a time which affects peoples desire to join. (People like playing on towny servers with lots of people) And for the new players that do join, the shop econ is unbalanced and since all the town mayors are inactive nobody can join a town. Also, the front lines of the wilderness have been stripped of most resources. Those are just my thoughts though..

Makes many decent points. Mine that I agree most is the Shop. Most of the time the chests are full or empty not allowing buying/selling

The chat being separated in every world makes things kind of lonely... if everyone is in skyblock and you want to play towny then you will be like all alone chat needs to be connected. Also the towny server is really that great in my opinion very little people play on it. The server needs to be advertised more for more people the server doesn't get very many people.

The best way to fix this would be, be nice to the incomming players and invite them to your "base" depending on the server and it would really help expand the server!

Actually I think the price to make a town is to low. People should join a town, thus making the towns bigger, then making one of their own later on, because if everyone could just make a town as soon as they would join, you would get tons and tons of towns that have almost no purpose in their existence.
