That's why a lot of these servers recently boasting "custom scripts" don't do well. People are much more comfortable sticking to what they know. Major example I have is a server called Wild West Roleplay. The server was based in the 1860s and was a VERY unique server. It had custom mapping and even custom objects/textures before DL came out. They had a horse system with actual horses. The server shut down in one month. There are the few people who say "oh custom script pls" but for those who want a successful server, a custom script is rarely viable.

Wild West didn’t lose the chance of success due to the script being unique. It was mainly because of the decisions that were made that caused the playerbase to drop dramatically. A custom script is always viable in creating a successful server, makes the server stand out from others that have been launched. It’s usually the community that causes a servers chance of success to be lost.
