Consider improving the discoverability of Factions
Submitted by redstoneisgreat
Suggestion
This is something I've been on the fence about for a while, and I'm not sure yet if this would be a good idea, but I wanted to bring it up as something to consider.
There are likely players out there that want an OG-style cannon based 1.8 pvp Factions server that are actually looking for such a server, and that don't know yet that this server exists. Factions is a niche gamemode to the point where I think discoverability (players being able to seek out and find the server) may be more important than for other gamemodes. Many of these potential players may not be familiar with TheMisterEpic or watch his content. It doesn't seem like any attention has been given to make it easier for such players to find the server.
Right now, OG-Network isn't listed on many server list websites, or the listings are outdated and don't mention Factions. I see some players asking on Reddit for an OG-style Factions server, and know of another OG Factions server that I think found some success through advertising on Reddit, though admittedly it wasn't long term success (ran for about 1 year). I also think there's potential for Epic to reach more factions players if he wanted to, perhaps by making a video with "Factions" in the title all about the gamemode.
I don't think this should be a long term strategy. At the same time, this could be what provides the funding/playerbase the gamemode needs to survive and become established and successful. There are some downsides/concerns.
