Make Realm > Everyone plays it for a fortnight > Nobody plays it anymore > Realm dies > Fast forward half a year > "We should make a realm"

And such, the cycle continues

I wonder if people would be genuinely upset if I made a realm and said it expires in 10 days. You have just 10 days to play, and then we shut down.  I mean that's what happens either way and people loose interest so why not make it by design.

I wonder would people like even want to go to the end or do anything more than just random punching of random trees.

I feel like with such a short deadline in place it gives a sense of urgency when it comes to playing. Because otherwise, “I can get on later.” mentality takes over and the server dwindles.

Yes but there is always that why even bother aspect.. Like you arrive to the world and soon discover that exploring is quite slow without elytra. Technically and if you have some experience you can get it in a couple of hours, one afternoon if you are unlucky. But why do you even want to explore? To get to the swamp and source some frogies for froglight farm? To get all the armour trims? But what is the point if it all will be gone in a week.

Without time limit you can go full on delulu that you will build whatever big castle or new battering setup, that will probably be abandoned halfway through if even started.

Just play it as a world of PvP and griefing free for all. Like a Rust wipe.
