8 year olds don't have an attention span long enough to care about wynncraft.

I mean, look at their staff.

That made me cringe. (Hypixel's staff is a lot better because they all are 16 years or more yo)

Well, quality servers tend to be underrated ;)

As many have said, it's an apples-to-oranges sort of deal. It's actually quite a good metaphor, with Mineplex being the apple while Wynncraft is the orange.

Apples are probably the most recognized fruits. If you ask someone to think of a fruit, chances are Apple is going to be a very common answer. They're bright, appealing, easy to eat, can be enjoyed in many different ways, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a person who won't eat at least one type of apple.

Oranges are somewhat less common than apples, but still well-known. While they can be delicious once you get into them, you have to put in the work of peeling them beforehand, and the sour taste can drive some people off. In addition, eating them for too long can hurt your mouth, what with all the citrus. This doesn't mean they're bad, just that they aren't for everyone.

Then you're in the vast minority of people(at least, of those who know of and have tried apples).

Nothing wrong with that, it's just an opinion most people don't share...I think this should be the last word on the topic, in case it spirals out beyond the metaphor too much more.

There are several reasons attributing to this:

1. Mineplex is a minigame server, which boasts a large variety of different gamemodes. Many tastes are suited to, unlike WynnCraft, which mostly appeals to RPG players.

2. Many, many, many YouTubers play on Mineplex, which attracts players that watch those YouTube videos. If you've noticed, right now WynnCraft doesn't have many YouTubers recording the Gavel Update besides small ones such as Sebbelonien, Hasax, and HippoCrafting.

3. Jumla keeps spilling his coffee.

4. If you notice one thing in common with every single popular server, they have a voting system that gives rewards. Voting helps their server get to the top page of some "Best Server" list, attracting even more players. WynnCraft does have a voting option, but it gives no rewards and very few people even know it exists. The ones who know it exists won't bother spending the time and effort to vote for something that gives no bonus or reward.

5. Mature content. WynnCraft caters more to players 13+, as there are references to drug usage, as well as some mild cursing by NPCs. It does not offer too much in terms of replayability, as after the charm of questing fades, it's just back to grind, grind, grind again. Relating to YouTube, many youtubers don't want to bore their players with content of themselves repeatly grinding aimlessly to generate an extra level, which discourages YouTube series, and is why most YouTubers who actually played quit by the time Wynn got to a level of hard-to-levelup; around levels 30-50.

I just want 5-10 emeralds for voting:(

I have wondered this for a while. Wynncraft has a huge map all filled with detail and loaded with a sh*t ton of plugins and includes a sh*t ton of weapons, armour and custom items, plus shopkeepers and tons and tons more stuff that took years to make, while Mineplex has bad maps and a bad spawn, plus they copy ideas. I guess they have some good plugins and it can be a bit fun, but still when you look at it like this, Wynn will wynn (sorry for the bad pun) by far. I think Wynn should have an average of 40000 players like Mineplex, and I don't understand how the best minecraft server (in my opinion) has only like 2% as much average population as a server that just isn't that good.

Mineplex, yes. Hypixel, not so much. they have quality in their builds, in a sense. But they're two different genres, so I wouldn't say one or the other is better. They're just different.

I know, I have seen so may peoeple who are probably like whiny 9 year olds who say Hypixel sucks because there is some lag and it's a bit hard to get used to, like Warlords. They don't understand how much work went into it and all of the quality builds and plugins, so they go play on Mineplex (and I am not going to say it's bad, just that all other servers are better)

Well wynncraft is amazing for nerds like us who rpg all day, but other people like Minigame servers such as Mineplex and Hypixel for their wide variety of games. Wynncraft almost started to be like them, with the addition of wizard fortress, but I think most of us love it for its rpg feel.

Mineplex is one of those servers where you can jump on, play a few games, leave, come back, play a few more casual games, and continue on with your day.

Wynn has a slightly higher learning curve, which people might not want to go through with.
That and Mineplex has more publicity.

I have a Mineplex Dev Friend who likes playing Wynncraft too c:

Frequent crashes and lag. Plus it's more fun to hop on and do some random mini-games than grind or do boring quests.

The reason is vey simple.
Wynncraft is a RPG while Mineplex is a minigame server, even tho Wynncraft managed to pull it off pretty good, RPGs does not fit Minecraft that great while minigames fits Minecraft really good.
Also the majortiy of Minecraft's playerbase are less than 15 years old. Most people at that age does not like RPGs because they're slow pasted.

Mineplex have also been visited by many huge Minecraft youtubers. The only huge youtuber(that I know) that ever have visited Wynncraft is the Inthelittlewood guy.

Also your poll is stupid. You cant compare minigames with an RPG on wich one is "better".

I'll have you know I am below 15 and fell in love with Wynncraft when I was introduced to it. And that was like 2 years ago or something
