Server Suggestions

Postby liftyourskinnyfists » 21 Oct 2011, 01:31

After talks I'm going to suggest a few different changes some minor and some major, all relating to the servers, Seemingly because our community seems limited to 2fort/lazytown and on occasion the odd short lived populated dustbowl or Payload rotation and sometimes even Arena.

I'm not sure on what should be done with the servers, perhaps fewer slots on arena etc but here's the simple list of the other ideas

What was popular? Back when I used to play a lot more, usually between raid lockouts on world of warcraft I played the GTFO. Sawmill server which then became Sawmill/DoubleCross, which was also popular, perhaps bringing those back on a 24 slot server could help!

I also note that things like server changes and new changes need to be made as events because apparently we had Saxton Hale for a period of time, I assume I was here and heard nothing about it perhaps because back then I didn't check the forums or announcements but I tell you what I did do... Respond to group events and I mean we have a group with well over twenty thousand members, using the invite system for even a select thousand could result in full servers for a period of time.


Just an idea, also Badwater 24/7 instant respawn was fun.

Sawmill/Doublecross sounds horrible! I remember it. It was horrible! We have a lot of 32player or 24player/nocrit servers which means we don't get picked up so highly on quickplay. 2fort/LT/Arena/db often have players on, but the rest don't until someone makes a commitment.

Weekends are better. Often have most servers full then. On weekdays just join a server at the right time (5ish BST is good) and invite a load of people. Once you get 4-6 it'll start picking up. Unless it's a popular server it's pretty hard to expect it to fill by itself. If you don't make the effort, why should anyone else?

I think I might start doing what you used to do frequently Russ - simply get on the server and invite a ton of people. I'd love to see #10 frequented again.

Well firstly remove TFDB OMGODMIN B6 map from #9 server!

I don't know is spy issue has been fixed, but this is horrible map. post111024.html#p111024

This isn't suggestion, now suggestion:

What about making #3 24 mans server since it already has vanilla respawn times?
