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.

may i suggest adding a little notification in the server text chat about this thread?
you know how you can do !rules for rules, why not have a !newserver ?

just a thought, why not a test map server, that runs 2 new maps each week, and if one happens to be extremely popular, it can get a trial run on its own server, and ones that are not popular, well what happens to them should be pretty straight forward

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

If my Swiss cheese brain remembers later, I am going to pop around on other servers and see what maps we're not running to see what cool stuff there is out there.

You are such a dumb troll. Fuck off. All you do is troll - all day. Make a trolling club with Killerman.
Warpath is shitty and you can't compare it to Fastlane.
lol someone is getting mad.
also suggesting me when I only invite him to games just to play? Haha.
and plus that's your opinion. Lots of us have opinions too.

No warpath. Last time I checked there were 4 servers. 3 were completely empty and 1 was on rotation.

You're getting rid of Gravelpit? (I just tried to connect) That's a staple of the standard map rotation and, from my experience, a fairly popular server. I hope it's just moving to another number...

edit: I thought only Granary had an issue...

edit2: People care about this server. I just got a message from a really good player, MelloJello (#24 on HL Stats, tons of playtime on Skial), asking if I knew what happened to Gravelpit.
edit3: Another good regular, Old_Man_Unreasonable, shares our same sentiment.​

I would love a 24/7 Fastlane map (EU or US server doesn't matter to me). Lots of people play Fastlane and I think it would attract people to Skial who have been playing on other server communties since we don't have a Fastlane server.
Orange sucks so bad :(
Why not EU Fastlane or something. Nighteam's EU Fastlane server is often full. When I was noob and used to play there I loved 24/7 Fastlane. Skial really needs a Fastlane server


Were are you and Classy from then? I thought you came from Orange too :troll:
If a map is known for trolls why should we want more servers with it?


Fastlane would at least bring us normal members and not trolls. And it's a really fun map!



As I said Nighteam's EU and US Fastlane servers are often full during normal playingtime. Saigns.de has also a pretty full Fastlane server.
If it wasn't popular other server companies wouldn't have multiply servers with Fastlane.


If a server is full then there are no bots on. They only have bots on when nobody is on their servers. I don't like them because they have stupid premium features.
Skial's Fastlane server would rock

Fastlane is pretty cool

No one seeded Gravelpit so I got rid of it.

show_graph.php


If no one is seeding their favorite servers I will have to change it to the popular run of the mill maps.

It's either this, or have an empty server.
