Well, it seems that my place in Minerealm is currently up to the mercy of Aelcalan. Either I stay, or am banned forever. No, this is not a plead for mercy or goodbye thread, just a few observations and suggestions.
Over the year and a bit (I joined the forums long after I joined the game), I noticed that slowly, less people were on minerealm. More vets were leaving, especially now, and more problems are arising. Minerealm is a great server but recently, it has become rather...stale. There is nothing new, nothing exiting or pleasing. The biggest events now are the complete dissolving of NTC, the formation and fusion of factions and the occasional banning festival. Minerealm needs something more exiting, like server-wide battles, epic builds and even greater deconstructions (like the great spawn/trade deconstruction) I believe that was the last true great event.
Maybe even start over. Create a second survival server. Many changes are needed though, including a better economic system, and server-wide events. And everyone who snatched up locations near spawn, STOP TERRAFORMING!!!! Really, the area around spawn is flat. You might as well just start off with a super flat map. Build with the land, make it more natural and in the process, more pleasing ascetically. Change creative. It is a bit of a slump, with endless half-hearted creations (a few are quite impressive, so no offence to them), pixel art and signs declaring their creators name to the world.
But the real problem is, again, the lack of people. There is one easy solution to this: Google "best minecraft server" and the first result is "Minerealm, best overall server". Advertise everywhere!
Then again, I could be all wrong. There could be a phenomenon, and thousands of newbies join in a matter of days, factions join together to create the tight-knitted community that I was introduced to (this is much better), and everyone makes a conscious effort to fix Intelli's 'new seed' wipe disaster (sorry, but the effects are still lingering in my home town, Abyssus). So really, everyone, not just the admins, please make Minerealm a more exiting place.

Always right.
