R.I.P BlackMesa

[Brandon]

Come on guys..its easier too dominate roker on dustbowl! I like the change and i think it wil be better for the community

 

[ShawnJ]

Why the hate on Dustbowl? It'll get our ranking up super fast.

I think you answered your question yourself - the change was done with a sole purpose of getting rank up.

In terms of plability, there are LOT better valve maps out there. If you play TF2 1-3 hour a week then I suppose you'll be okay but don't expect me to play Dustbowl for several hours a day like say I would do with blackmesa, foundry, etc.

P.S. I can smell quickplay coming soon

Black Mesa was a great map/server. Not my favorite, but it's still sad to see it go.

R.I.P. Black Mesa


To all of you who plan on boycotting the new Dustbowl server, please reconsider. That will not help bring Black Mesa back. What may help is getting all our servers to higher ranks.

 

[virus.rpm]

It's really not a good plan to boycott the server. If we get the ranks up faster, we could potentially get a new server; ideas have been bandied about regarding replacing mesa or just putting a custom map rotation. We have to get server ranks up a bit, then we can go hit the really fun stuff.

This better be a joke... ._.

Meh

 

[batlbot]

Ugh, Replacing the funnest map around with the absolute-all-time-worst-map-ever ...

Well, let's at least hope they take CRUSTbowl out of rotation on the Valve Maps server... Seriously I may rage quit if I see two of our servers running that horror...

someone in BM chat said it's closing, i was like april fool sucka. then i go in vent and it's all serious and all. this is like a double april fool or something else.

we had "fill blackmesa" movement, it went pretty good...it was good to a point that nobody went in other servers lol. than someone from leadership or whereever said "mesa isn't in trouble if other servers are full"...so we take time to fill other servers...and now bam BM is gone.

for for crying out loud, u serious? dust ball? it's the worst [censored] map in valve history. put egypt or put some good valve map.

still hoping this is april fool :facewall:

P.S. yes i mad.

ShawnJ and I were one of the top 10 players with play time on mesa, not that that matters anymore, and this thread specifically stated that as long as the other servers were full Mesa would be safe. The other three server are almost always full and I'm not a big fan of dustbowl so don't expect to find me on there like with Mesa.

I know I missed the meeting, which by the way I wish was plastered more loudly on the forums, since the only mention of it I recall was at the clan meeting and was soon forgotten over the coming week and unless one happens to be online today, which I was not, there was no way of knowing about it until it was too late.

Needless to say I'm not a happy camper about this at all. I certainly hope for you old school and die hard Mesa fans that your opinions on this matter were voiced for those of us who didn't make the meeting.

End of line.

 

[Whisker Biscuit]

RIP TF2 division, hello trivial ranks

 

[OzytheNerfer]

Well, goodbye eGo, its been nice.

 

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

Would of been more believable if it was 24/7 turbine instead of a map that is almost already 24/7 on valve maps. TRY HARDER!!!!

Here are some threads regarding the unrest caused by recent server changes. (The Quickplay Guide doesn't have anything good until the second page)

I love mesa, its why I joined eGO and stayed in eGO for a year until mental buga showed me how awesome events are and stuff. i've already said i've made a lot of friends and i always will love it, which is why i am hosting events for it every week.

BUT, sadly, this is like every other server change we've had. Its not like leadership is just this evil group of people who change the server to piss us off, they are simply this evil group of people that got rid of the server because no one was playing on it. Really.

Every other time a beloved yet empty server was changed (turbine, valve maps before it was removed, dustbowl, gravel pit, egypt, etc.) They were removed because not enough people were playing on them, and when they finally did remove them, there were threads on threads on threads of people crying about it. The thing was, is that more people complained about it then actually help and try to save it. If you guys really want mesa back, and i'm not just trying to advertise my events, is go to the blackmesa events i'm hosting. If there constantly full, i'll show the attendance every week to sloppie or a DL, showing that people really are willing to play on mesa and fill it when it needs to, instead of just play minecraft or dungeon defenders or whatever noise plays and say to fill it while not doing anything.

The threads you see here Noise are from the members who "did" try to keep it alive by actually playing on the server for the majority of the time. Heck even Doom and I asked on multiple occasions to fast fill Mesa and at most only got maybe 10-16 people total to show and majority of them were new recruits. So, if it appears that I am "crying" about it is because I have just cause to do so because I was one of the few who actually tried to keep Mesa alive.

Having Mesa as an event is a nice thought and of course it's going to be full since there is no other location hosting that server anymore and most of us love that map lol. But, honestly who is going to have the patience to wait in line to play mesa when the majority of the TF2 division is clamoring to log in?

In my honest opinion I don't see showing leadership a full roster for a mesa event is likely to bring it back.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Hey, I tried to keep it alive too, I'm just not the kinda guy who'd spam his friends list every day to play on mesa when its 12/32 at its best. I have a months worth of play time on blackmesa, a month straight, i need a life but thats besides the point. Im just saying some people that are complaining haven't done their part is all.

It will help, Deviant. By showing how many people play Mesa, it gives them an idea of how many people support and it show up to play it. You may think it's not going to help, but any little bit will help Mesa back hopefully.
