SkyBlock
Detailed description of the idea (1 idea - 1 post)
Since I only play SkyBlock, I can only talk about SkyBlock, but maybe it could apply to other servers as well. From what I've noticed while playing, quite a few newcomers join over time, but a huge number of them drop off within the first hour. I know the server has quite a few rewards for time spent and activity, but the suggestion would be to perhaps add a new rank/service for newcomers during their first week of playing. This service/rank would consist of privileges taken from various services that can be purchased. All of this is to try to retain a larger number of newcomers for a longer period until they get accustomed and to entice them to purchase existing services.
