I've prepared a eulogy for the now deceased main server due to the consistent absence of players and activity. Please note, the server is not closing, I just feel it deserves a formal speech to address its tragic decline.

Hear ye, hear ye! It is with great dismay that I bring you the news of Minetown's untimely death. Not so long ago, this world hustled and bustled with people from all over the world. Trading, playing, fighting, selling, buying, bonding, LIVING! I was once one of those people. I became consumed by Minetown and her glory. She gave me warmth when I was cold, a friend when I was alone, peace when I was broken. To me, Minetown wasn't just a game, it was an escape from reality. I could never have imagined she would be gone so soon. With her popularity came great demand for more. Whether it be because of greed or for the greater good of the Minetown people, she was expanded beyond her limits. An overabundance of sub-servers brought her to her knees. Weep...WEEP brothers and sisters for she is gone! May one day a server be so lucky to have half of her beauty and majestic personality. Mourn too for the people that are now gone who made her what she once was, for they are lost now as well. For those of you who remember her greatness, keep her memory in you heart, for it shall die one day as well.

*Classic.

I don't understand why people think having multiple servers of different types is such a bad thing. Why should we limit players to a single survival server when we can easily dedicated unused resources to a server of a different play style, such as Prison or Skyblock? It does spread out the players, but everyone is still under one community of Minetown.

srsly?

Just an observation, Elite, you've only know MT as a network, but in Spet 2013, we had 100+ members all online on the single Main server, yet here we stand, with our large network with only 30 people at most spread out onto 10+ servers

That is why a lot of the 2 year vets, and almost 2 year vets think this.

Not in September 2013...

And just for an "observation"

Minetown became a so called 'network' (multiple servers),

In like the middle of 2012.

You joined Minetown March 2012, and Elite joined July 2012. Both during the early stages of the begging of the new servers, and Main was still packed. Because during that time, only a few servers came out, I believe it was Creative, PvP, and MCBall.

I also began playing as a guest a couple months before buying minecraft and becoming a member. (I used my friend's account for a while because I was a mooch <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61b.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":p">:p</object>) March probably would have been around the time I first came on Minetown.

Still dont see how adding different servers to choose from lowered our player count. Maybe people got bored of Minecraft?

Yes minecraft is losing appeal among many people.

Oh god, not this crap again. Adding servers didn't drive anyone away. Minecraft has been getting old and stale for a lot of people for a good, solid year now, and the majority of people have now either stopped playing or only play heavily modded versions of the game, because let's face it, vanilla Minecraft has lost all of it's appeal and is just plain not fun anymore.

It was Minetowns player-base and community that made logging in everyday interesting. It was a terrible choice to split everything up and that's what made it lose its appeal.

EDIT: A terrible, greedy choice..

theyer renovating my hard rock cafe.. just saw a mover man drag two crates of live rattlers inside..has Hard Rock gone TOo wild?? No F'n Way
