I agree i honestly could care less about the hub we need to fix the main server first and get our player count up to where it use to be first.
I just redesigned myself, but back on topic. I guess, unless ECC is hoping to get a lot of new players because of a minigame? It's for sure possible to get new players from a new mode. I think the player amount went up after ECC released SG for the first time, if I am not mistaken.
The hub would help a little not to much in my opinion. There are some things on the main server that can be done to get us to where we where. We also dont need a hub to add a few new minigames.
Adding on to this... A hub could get us a user boost, sure. But unless the main server and its concept are ditched, a lot of those people won't even stick around if the main server isn't top-notch and functioning, clean, and easy to use. There are plenty of servers that are solely GIANT hubs that will take any new users from our hub away if we don't have a good main server to keep them around.
