Has anyone else noticed lowered numbers of players since school has started? My server literally went from nearly full to completely empty during school hours. And during weekends, it's only about halfway full now. That may also have to do with the fact that my friend who often advertised the server is too busy with school to advertise/play anymore. But I have a good feeling school is the culprit responsible for such low numbers on my server... haha. Anyone else notice the same thing?
I've found most of the traffic on the servers I've run--Minecraft or not--follows school schedules fairly closely. Summer tends to be the best, drops once high school starts up, picks up a little when the college kids move into their dorms and during breaks, but then it seriously tanks during typical college "exam periods."
You just have to weather the dry spells and try to keep things fun for the players still around.
Most people who play minecraft tend to be younger. Younger people are mostly in school. At school you can't play minecraft. So servers die off during the school year.

Engish is not my primary language. Sorry for grammary errors or other things.
Um... Yes, most of the players on your server have not graduated from high school or college, so the numbers should be going down during the day... Because they are at school... Lol.
EDUCATION > ALL

What about breathing? And fine dining?
Breathing seems like a very good idea. Who came up with that?

Sounds like a good idea.

Baseball, then Minecraft.
Its a very logical process.
The younger generation nowadays must have some strict parents if they cannot get on weekdays.
noticed the same thing on my sever too tho.
I play on weekdays, I just don't play during school.
