...or raise the standard for what makes a map "unpopular"
I've noticed many great maps that aren't played as often as some others are removed and never seen again, such as steamworks, and now blackmesa. Many maps removed for this reason are still played on a regular basis, most notably the maps I just mentioned. Removing many of these maps also accomplishes nothing - the server still fills when they are played, and they don't negatively impact the server if not much played anyway. Removing these maps only hurts the players that actually enjoy them. I respectfully ask Skial to lay back on these regulations - its incredibly frustrating to be missing so many great maps.
Given this deathrun server is often #1 ranked by GameTracker, I know my opinion will be shrugged off or lost, though its worth a shot. All in all, stop or lay back on removing "unpopular" maps for the following reasons:
- It accomplishes nothing: the server still usually fills, if not played, there is no negative effect.
- It negatively impacts the players that enjoy these specific maps.
- It's an insult to the creators of those maps
- The deathrun server particularly is never played by any Skial admin (or even moderator) anyways, so I believe there is a disconnect with the community.
