It’s always something I’ve expected to happen eventually. The minecraft map is extremely overrated and people are no longer joining TTT servers specifically to play that map.
I guess people now decide what server to play based off of content, and considering the other servers that are around, zarp becomes even less appealing for new players.
I don’t think much can be done, expect to take what the community says seriously. For the longest time I’ve heard people complain about the card crafting feature, and as a CM I was pretty much forced to not take these seriously. I remember reading that it’s changed now, but if so it took way too long. (Obviously this is an example, I’m not saying people stopped playing because of this system)
As for the events, I think they are a really bad idea. Sure, they get players on in the short term but the last thing you want is a server that only has players when an event occurs, especially when that server is TTT.

P.S. can I have ownership of my child, I want to fix him. x
