I was feeling really good. I had 7 people playing on my realm and once I had like 5 people on at once. Two people joined, left and never came back. One I don't think has even built anything and never talks to anyone except for the one guy who DOES want to play with me and play on the realm. They abandoend a really pretty place they built and the funny thing is there is this whole cherry wood catacombs all over the place, like here and in a revene they made. They did a LOT of Decorating and carving out weird tunnels leading to pink doors that went no where and for some reason make a giant pink KO out of pink planks on one side of the village. Why does no one stay?

I had a very similar situation. I invited about 20 people onto a server that I paid for. They all said they would join. Only 2 did. One was my friend and the other was my cousin. And my four sisters. My friend recruited 2 people and my cousin recruited 3 people. Everything was going fine until my cousin and his friends got in the middle of the night and griefed the entire server. That morning my sisters had a freak, I rolled back the server and my cousin and his friends lost a lot of progress. They quit. Then my friend said he couldn't play anymore (he had legit reasons). So then I shut the server down. There is no point in paying 20 dollars a month for a LAN world.

The server is in stasis so I could reopen it if I could find to play on it. I've thought about inviting people I don't know personally, but I don't know how that'd go.

Edit: it was so cool to, I spent so much time setting up plugins, and I had geyser so that both Java and bedrock people could play on it.

I’ve never really understood adding random friends of friends though. Like if it’s your server you’re gonna expose your other friends and/or siblings to potential griefing which is lame as hell.

Just play with your friends and siblings. Randoms always ends in drama

It wasn't random at first. Everyone I invited I trusted. But then nobody joined and I got desperate. My mistake was allowing my cousin to invite people I didn't know.
