Adding new minigames and new gamemodes is not the direction that the server should be headed in.
I see the server as having two sections: primary features and secondary features. Primary features are things like towny and the eco, and secondary features are things like minigames, creative and skyblock. Sure, these secondary features can be fun, but it's the primary features that will bring in new players and encourage current players to stay. I'm currently working on several features that tie into towny that we can hopefully see implemented in the near future.
One of the biggest reasons that we aren't getting too many new players to stay right now is the lack of a tutorial, which we're hoping to fix as soon as possible with the implementation of a tutorial that works similarly to quests.
@AwesomeAdoGamer I love that you're trying to help out the server, but I reckon we need more additions to the 'primary features' of the server. If you have any suggestions for those, please let us know

Thanks my dude! But, I think that our model of server isn't going to work for a new player... lets walk in in the shoes of one.
A new player: 1) Logs on to the server.
2) (When tutorial is added back in) Has to go through a lengthy tutorial, most of which will probably be ignored.
3) Because of the lack of knowledge from the tutorial, they ask, ask, and keep asking questions.
4) Current players get annoyed and most ignore the new player.
5) New player gets frustrated and quits.
6) After they quit, they go onto a massive minigame server. (Not going to name)

Towny is too confusing for a new player, and most new players won't think that a real-life or real-world theme of minecraft (towny/economy) is fun. If I were an average 10 year old playing meep, I would have quit, but I'm not.
