So yeah I just think this is gonna die out pretty much instantly. I don't want to get on the wrong foot here with you @Hijacking so please dont take this personally or as an attack on you.
This style of pvp seems so complicated and overthought that it's confusing to myself already and loads of new players. I understand what you're trying to achieve here by creating something 'unique', but I myself much prefer the more simpeler kitpvp we had back in the day. I know @cloakfox has been experimenting with getting back to this old type of kitpvp we all know and loved when minecraft wasn't at it's all time high, and with the latest increase of popularity minecraft has gotten and some of the old players returning to the server/forums, that you can truely recreate this kitpvp which will be succesful. How will it be succesfull you may ask? Let me explain.
So I already mentioned that some of the old ''OG'S'' have comeback to the server/forums to check things out. I think that with the help of the current community combined with these old players that you can truely remaster what was once known as the golden days of Foxcraft kitpvp. What made this kitpvp so unique? It was the community and simplicity of kitpvp. All these new feature that are listed above are confusing and not really appealing to myself (IMO). I'd much rather have the simple aspect of killing players, getting streaks, getting rich and with the money I get from killing to make OP armour to get even higher streaks. Just your simple/standard kitpvp without soup,pots this new thing which I have temporarily named ''regenerator' perk''.
As for adevertising this server throughout youtuber/streamer, it will not ******* as you have in mind. Again let me explain.
First of all lets get on the same level. Advertising is to attract new players to the server right? Well not excactly in the case of how minecraft is at the moment. I personally believe that latest increase of popularity has to do with old players that quit the game before, are coming back to minecraft to start playing again. They want to relive that old nostalgic feeling what they got back in 2013-2016 era. Do I know this for a straight up fact? No I don't but I can safely say that with a bit of research of the latest sales (for Global PC, not taking china in account) of minecraft that it hasn't grown much compared to the numbers of 2013-2015 era which leads me to believe that the latest increase of popularity is due to old players trying to relive the memories that they've treasured over these days. As for advertising you should target these people which will also target new people joining the server.
As for new players joining the server throughout this method of advertisement ,they don't want all these new 'hypixel' type features. They just want their standard kit grabbing jumping down a hole and start fighting others. Their motivation could be to kill that one person who has killed them previously, or to target that player who is getting better and better loot throughout killing players over and over again, or to simply get on the top of the leaderboards either by topkills or topstreaks or to be the richest on the server. The possibilty's and goals are endless, and I think this would benefit the current community aswell as the new players joining the server.
The latest updates on kitpvp and it's ''downfall''.
Why I think kitpvp hasn't been gaining a lot of popularity as of late has to do with all these new features getting introduced to this gamemode. I'm currently going through the kits we have currently, and it just confuses the hell out of me. I do not know what the features of these kits are nor do I know how to use them. And that has purely to do with the fact that I can't be bothered to get to know all these new features. A great example of this would be 'Fortnite' and their decrease in popularity. I strongly believe why so many people left/quit this game is through all these new features getting added to the game when it was uneeded and unwanted updates (Don't fix something if it's not broken). They had a game so good almost perfect similair to kitpvp in its glory days.
If you really want to create a good kitpvp server, I think what I mentioned above and the following is required.
1. Create a poll on which the community would rather have. A. A new kitpvp B. The old ''Glory'' kitpvp C, Current kitpvp.
2.a If A won, do as you do and continue development of this new kitpvp.
2.b If B won. Create a thread asking the community of old screenshots/videos as well as their input for all the old features kitpvp has back in the day.
2.c If C won, do nothing obviously.
Thanks for taking your time on reading this post, peace out.

P.S. All of the above mentioned could also be applied for a future skyblock vulcan.
