Reason servers like this one don't get attention is because they aren't advertised properly..
They don't have any popular people on the staff team so they have to advertise in order to draw the attention to their quality.. And they aren't advertising !
You can't expect people to wake up one morning knowing about your server nor can you expect from your few players to do the advertising for you..
Advertisement isn't just posting a topic on EOServ->Advertisement section.. As owner you might like to stick around the EOServ forum, make posts, help people out with things, show off your work and get known.. If people get to know you on EOServ and get to like you, they will be interested in
checking your server out.. And if you offer them quality, they will definitely stay.
The issue isn't in community, there is reason why people aren't playing some servers, either the server is bad or nobody knows about it.. And nobody knowing about it isn't fault of the people, it's the fault of the staff who aren't letting the people know !
I don't think I have ever tried Worlds Apart.. And I'm still not feeling invited to try it out, because instead of Red Rocco advertising it, there's people asking why it's not being played.. And frankly since such simple job as advertisement isn't done right I don't have good expectations :P
THE BETTER TOPIC WOULD BE "WHY DOESN'T AUREUS ONLINE HAVE 100 PLAYERS BY NOW?" That server has quality and advertisement !!
