Add a new server like a practise one where everyone can pvp add like fireball pvp and more everyone will love it and be active you can get more members from it and i will advertise the server if you do it you can get upto 1000 players just from that!. Hope this helps

I suggest that the "lost ground" function that gets you out of afk be removed
This is due to the fact that if you're afking in the wild, any player can basically remove the block underneath you to get you out of afk and kill you, which bypasses the afk protection making the feature useless

There is no reason for individual player to be able to claim millions of blocks as I believe is the case right now. For example all the map corners are claimed with 1000x1000 block claims by a single player. The richest player on the server has enough money to claim about 50% of the entire overworld map. the maximum limit could be increased with ranks but should still be capped at reasonable amo..
