New server planning thread

[Bottiger]

Discuss here about setting up new servers and maps.

Current Status

• Currently I am thinking about throwing out our Granary server for lack of players.
• We also have lots of space on USW and EU2 due to the update that reduced CPU usage.
  There is room for 2-3 more servers on US1
• Unfortunately due to the release of Skyrim, TF2 players have been reduced by 50%, so we need to be cautious in our expansions.

have you considered combo servers?

essentially a rotation server with just a few maps that play similarly

EX:
Goldrush/Badwater/ThunderMtn
Coldfront/Badlands/Granary

this would allow you to scrap the less popular servers that never fill up.

and the voting feature allows people to play on a single map indefinitely if they want to.

NOHEROS has a Goldrush/Badwater combo server that is constantly full, and the similarity of the maps causes you to lose fewer players on a map change

 

[Gen.mcMuster]

You're half-right. It's not the case because nobody plays on the Skial "popular maps" rotation servers period.

instead of "popular maps" list the exact maps that you can chose from

del piero are you kidding me? you are threatening to ban me from the forums for "spamming" ??

"Turovik,

This is a warning. Multiple warnings may result in a ban."

It's a popular maps server, which you claim are always empty.

your message

It's a standardized message. Multiple warnings result in a ban. That statement is pretty obvious. The ban is only as long as your warnings are and I haven't banned you from anything. I just warned you for spamming.

What the User thinks(|subconsciously| and "consciously").

"I wanna play some Dustbowl" |I wanna play something that my brain thinks is fun|

Popular maps: "Meh, I'll probably have to play on a map i don't like" |looks the same as a regular rotation server that didn't have any thought put into it|

24/7 DUSTBOWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!: "*Connects*" |good-e-nuf|

DUSTBOWL/5GORGE/GRANARY: "I LIKE 2/3 OF THOSE MAPS! *Connects*" |I like that gamemode in general, but i mainly like Dustbowl. So I might as well join a server with a healthy amount of variety|

Anyway, I like McCumdumpster's idea.

 

[JosieWoman125]

How about a friendly fire server?
or
Zombiemod / zombie fortress?

I TRIED TELLING ZOMBIE FORTRESS... I remember the time he made a temp ZF server... zf_dustbowl

I think that nickname is my fault.

cp_jail
wait wut?
...CiNiC should try to invent ctf_getout
otherwise my rotation suggestion stays... but I do like Risen's idea of a Balloon Race and a Wacky Race rotation server.

OH SHIT
I will personally unban Turovik if he is banned for pointing out EVERY TIME Piero mentioned Fastlane on here.

 

[Rvsz]

That's ridiculous Del Piero, I don't think anyone deserves a warning for spam more than you here.

edit: reported you

 

[[TC]CreepingDeath]

If it weren't actually on topic, I'd probably actually delete the posts anders warn him. LOL
