Fact is, Cubecraft gets WAY less advertising than the rival servers. For example, Hypixel has an own YouTube channel with Minecraft content, funny skits I.E. "life of a helper", and have more recognition for having 1.8 PvP.
There are a lot of people in search of a 1.9 minigame server but CubeCraft is really hard to find, like seriously, I was looking for such a server so bad, and I found it when my friends wanted to play "EggWars" which at the time I didn't know about. Just,
My point being, Cube needs some more Media about itself, made by itself. Both to advertise and entertain.
Second point, the lack of quantity in games, but a good bit of quality.
Cubecraft has different minigames, unique minigames especially, but they're really few compared to rival servers.
While other rival servers focus on improving more PvP basd games, I.E. UHC, Flower UHC, Survival Games, Speed SG, Skywars, Ultra/Insane Skywars, Bridge Wars, Tower Wars, Castle War, Wars Wars etc, Cubecraft focuses on more "pacific" games. I.E Blockband, Tower Defense, Minerware, Arcade, Creative.
(And the Skywars maps suck k thx bai)
