Tips on getting new players to join server

[TastyHamSandwich-b8ddb465c3081fd3 0]

I launched a server a few months ago and I'm struggling to gain players, just wondering if anyone has any tips? 

I have been advertising, trying to run events, engaging in discords and forums but the max players I get is like 5 or 6 once a month then nothing. 

I won't post the server name here as that's against the forums rules but here are some features/ details of the mods and general setup.

Overall I have tried to balance the server to not be heavily modded so it sticks to the core DayZ experience, the main mod is Expansion. There are quests, traders which need reputation to unlock items, airdrops, vehicles, helis and other features Expansion offers.

Map : Lux

Gameplay: 1PPVP

Mods: Expansion, MMG, Dog tags, fliptransport, cheytac, flip transport, skybox overhaul, vehicle3PP

Any tips are appreciated thanks 🙂
