As everyone knows by know, the amount of players on the server doesn't seem to be improving by much despite the server being up for a fair few weeks/almost 2 months. We never really encountered this issue with our previous servers, but back then the gamemode was a lot fresher and covered a lot by big youtube stars. In the past we've run 24/7 Minecraft servers and they turn out to be very popular, and by the looks of the server lists at the moment, the trend hasn't changed. With this we have to make an important decision whether we want to convert the map rotation to 24/7 Minecraft maps (primarily ttt_minecraft_b5) which is enjoyed a lot on the server at the moment.

The reason I'd rather make this change is because at this current time, the player count needs to be spoon fed by either me or barbossa (or anyone else who takes initiative to do so) meaning that we have to sit on the server for a good half an hour spamming our steam friends list with invites until we get around 10 players online at a concurrent time, and then finally people start to join. Even then, it takes a while for the server to fill up and tends to stay around 15 people. I feel that if we changed to 24/7 minecraft it makes the server a lot more appealing for people to join and gives us room for the community to grow, I hope it'd make the player count a lot more self sufficient.

I'd really like to know what you guys think on the matter. Please do give your opinions below.
