Seriously though, make it modded
There are hundreds and hundreds of unmodded communities that will do whatever we can come up with way better, with way more people.
A modded server can fill a niche that isn't there yet. one of the big modpacks, something like RLcraft or one of the magical world packs will give a lot of content, a lot of growth, a lot of everything.

 

At the same time running mods will have a select few join because most can’t run them

 

Are people's computers really so shit that they can't run mods on *minecraft*?

 

used to play on like pentium cpu lol

 

What if we did something actually unusual.
Like with mods, make a wave-based survival server, where every few nights mobs and bosses come attacking a collective base, and while players have their own separate plots of land to work upon, they have to work together to defend the whole lot of them. If enough people join, there could even be offshoot communities (a set number of factions) where joined members can vote to exile.
And to retain individual bases, there is a mod that adds pocket spaces that would manage that perfectly.
You know, something Interesting and Unique instead of minecraft server w/plugins #3,406

Edit: Basically, we have two options:
Make this a fully-accessible server that only a handful of people will actually stick around for, just like last time, or make it an interesting server that some people won't be able to access, but not only will get people to stick around, but will actually draw people in.

 

You guys remember DvZ? Dwarfs vs Zombies was great. I still got the source code but didn't maintain it over the years.

Apart from that, for the start I suggest some modes that don't require many players, like Skyblock or Plot Building. Once a solid playerbase exists, you can go into the direction of Factions or Minigames

I don't know if this has been brought up elsewhere because I haven't been keeping up with all the new SGM MC stuff lately, but if the SGM MC server is to have some form of "multiple different gamemodes" that can host a lot of players then I think a hub server that moves players to other servers for the gamemodes may be required. Minecraft multiplayer servers are notorious for struggling to host a large number of people on a single world which is why so many servers opt to just have many small hub worlds dedicated to just moving players around.
