Hello there!
I've sent this message out to 9 other Pixelmon servers in regards to coming together to create a mega server. As someone who used to run a Pixelmon server I understand it can be difficult to secure funds from smaller playerbases to help pay for servers, websites, building, plugin development, etc. Imagine the sorts of things that could be achieved if 10 Pixelmon servers came together to create a server that could rival the largest Pixelmon servers and have access to the funds necessary to continue development and even provide excess cash to yourself.
Over the past few years I've helped found a few large server for various games, the first being one for a Minecraft-esque game known as Starmade. At the time private servers weren't that plentiful so a handful of individuals and myself started a fundraiser to generate necessary funds while giving players who backed the project in-game rewards. From having no player-base or connections in the community we managed to raise all the needed funds and then some and gain 700+ members on our website in under a week, a total around $600. The server still runs under a different name to this day.
With that same group a few years later we founded a Pixelmon Server, Pixelmon Legends. During the uptime of the server I basically did everything on the server from using World Painter to recreate the Hoenn region to building, coding/hosting the website, and nearly everything else. While we were up for only a month or so (all the others had lost interest by that point) we had gained around 200 members and nearly $400 in donations in the first week.
My proposal is to create a fundraising campaign between all the communities to raise funds for a dedicated server(s), website, building, etc. either through a platform such as Indiegogo or hosted privately. With the combined effort of all the communities together I believe that we could make an amazing Pixelmon server. If in the off chance that we couldn't secure the necessary funding your existing community and servers would still be up and there wouldn't be any loss knowing that we tried.
If you're interested in the proposal don't hesitate to contact me over Skype: CENSORED . It should be easier to communicate there through a group chat as opposed to Enjin.
For the project I'd also offer my abilities in graphic design and web development for hire, and you can view my temporary portfolio here: CENSORED
I look forward to hearing from you and creating the best Pixelmon server!
