I know a pretty good communty that has 4 very different specialized servers. By specialized I mean each has a theme like The Walking Dead or a western cowboy theme.

But it should be something worth looking into..

I personally have no interest in mini game servers.

But that's just your opinion on them, most people do like them and they bring a lot of people..

Speaking from first hand experience with similarly sized communities as ours, making more servers does not equal more people. Small community driven servers like ours are a not as popular as they once were, but we still have a nice player base and enough donation income to keep running for a long while (as long as creative donations can be used towards SMP).
If anything was to be added I think a full vanilla server with fast updates and a community based model would help us out. The people we "want" (sorry, I know how elitist that sounds) to bring in are not young children who will play for a little while and then get banned. Bringing in fun to be around people who are mature is what is going to help our server.

If there was to be a PVP server it might attract players then said players might join the SMP/Creative servers.
