Rotating Map Server

[Mectinky]

I think eGO should have a rotating server for CS:S. Yeah, the servers we have now are pretty fun but playing on the same map everyday can get pretty boring. Now I know that many other servers have rotating maps but a lot of them don't allow custom skins/sounds and the ones that do, have no players or a bad community.

So how about it?

 

[iEye Captain]

One of the problems with a rotating server is that communities are built when players join for one particular map.

For example, High School has a pretty solid following and if it rotates, less and less people will play in it because they're looking for the High School map.

 

[Mectinky]

I understand that but what I meant is making a completely different server just for rotations.

It's something that the DL's have to test out if they haven't already done so in the past, like with the previous servers. But I know that I wouldn't play on it if it switches to a map I'm not in the mood for >.<

 

[Muffs]

Well you could drop box this idea.. if enough people in the community bring it up we may get it.. but usually rotations don't work

 

[iEye Captain]

We have a limited number of server boxes available.

The more servers hosted by the boxes, the more lag each server will experience.

Gotta make do with what we have... :glare:

 

[Soul_of_a_Sinner]

drop box is best for your server suggestions

on a side note: we have tried a rotation server in the past, and it failed, it didnt have the player base that was being looked for. But try the drop box and maybe you will get a positive response.

Well. I am guessing you have missed the meeting. In our Divisional Meeting, Ill Legend addresseed that we are not going to be changing up our server for a little bit. The most common server that we MIGHT change it to is the following:

1) Deathmatch
2) Gungame
3) Zombie

 

[Frank The Tank]

only way it would work is if it rotated the maps we already have servers for.

 

[Rogue Sniper]

We've tried a rotation server before and it didnt work out well.

eGO is built on 24/7 Map servers while we have had some success in other games, in CSS it doesnt work out well unless its a game/mod type.

As others have said, rotating servers aren't the strong point on CS:S. Most servers that have rotating maps are jail servers (which eGO has a great one) surf, and gungame servers. And occasionally deathmatch servers will rotate. But most of the CS:S community prefer one or two maps. Like me, I prefer de_dust and cs_office and I love the jailbreak server. Between those, I have endless fun. If you put in a rotation and it limits a players choice of where to play. That is why eGO has 24/7 one map servers based on popular maps. I mean de_dust2 is nearly almost always full when I look at it. Dust and Office fill up throughout the day and highschool is the same. I mean, who wants to play de-cbble 24/7? Ew! Enjoy the maps we have, if things really do go great and leadership decides to give it another go they will. But ultimately the choice is up to leadership.

What Rogue said

Whenever we have rotation servers players get fond of one map on the rotation and will only play that, so we end up with an empty server on some maps.

ya just about every server you could think of, eGO has tried and it failed...it seems like having another server is just bound to fail i dunno (don't think we've tried TIDES!! lolol)

i think the best chance of success in another server would be another dust2 server, but thats just my opinion. another place to flock to if our current dust2 starts to lag for you, or gets full (its almost always full in peak play times)

 

[veridianphantom]

TIDES? was 'dat aboot?

 

[iamevilbear]

I think the only rotation server that we are really looking at is Zombie Mod. Rogue knows a lot about Zombie Mod so if that were to come to a point where we actually created that server, he would have a lot of knowledge on those maps.

[Mectinky]

Zombie Mod is alright. I prefer Zombie Escape, though. If eGO creates a ZM with limited ammo, then I would definitely play on it

zombies!?!???!? Then we should ran away and run fast @_@

 

[iamevilbear]

Nothing puts me in a worse mood then a zombie walking right through my cade. :facewall:

 

[Kami]

yeah zombie escape would be sick! or limited ammo zm definitely

 

[Rogue Sniper]

Lol I learned how to do that, was tough though.... See a human all safe and snarky then you just move on through their cade and bam they're a zombie... makes those impossible cades easier...

But thats why they have ZE where you just run away and dont look back.
