But if you want to do more, Garry's Mod has the means.Ĭreating a Garry's Mod server allows you to take control of your role-play experience. If you're not too great at construction - don't worry! You can place a variety of characters in silly positions.

You spawn objects and weld them together to create your own contraptions - whether that's a car, a rocket, a catapult or something that doesn't have a name yet - that's up to you.

Garry's Mod gives you the tools and leaves you to play. There aren't any predefined aims or goals. You'd have to change the password weekly however.Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox. Perhaps get a vent server too you can advertise. Just a few idea's, i know the server is only 10 man big so some of the above might not help - the event one might be a big pull in on a smaller server. This will encourage people to come back to the server and will also encourage people to stay on after the event is done so they can build. You could try looking at the most regular times people go on the server then advertise special events (through mods) that will be happening at certain times. Stagnant forums can also be a big turn off for a gamer looking for a regular server so create yourself loads of fake accounts and post up video's, pictures and fake chats (get your mates to help) so it looks like the forum is actually active. You can advertise the forum website on the spash screen which comes up when you first join a server.Īlso try and get a real time chat board for the forum.īefore the server goes live you'll want to make the registration for forum accounts quick and easy to encourage people to play. If you want regular users then you have to get a community. Get a forum setup and encourage players to go on there and post pictures/stories/video's of what you've/they've created.
