Old vs New Jail gameplay

[Skyward2554]

I remember playing with Omnislash (he doesn't remember) on the 2 servers we played on fail jail, THAT WAS SOOO FUN. Anyway im up for the two 20-24 servers. If there's going to be 2 servers, can you add failjail to one of em. I miss that map alot.

hurm... 20-24 doesnt sound bad...

Add 8 extra people playing? That doesn't make a difference if they're spread out through two different servers. There's no stress in wardening, it's called "having fun".

I remember the old jail, twas awesome. bring back forrest while were talkin about it.

I don't know if making two different types of jails is a good idea. All that will do is end up dividing our server population, most of which would be leaning towards the mini game jail server. The way I see it, most of today's jail players would view the mini game jail as the "better" jail and the traditional one as the boring jail. Thus I could see the traditional jail server dying and soon, we have only one popular jail server with practically half the players it used to have.

Well, there really isn't much good wardens around today..so I think I'd stick with the current one to help them out a bit

it would be great to have 2 different servers . Let new people come and enjoy their style of playing. I would defiantly go to both and have fun .

Like I said earlier, I agree with 2 servers and think its a good idea, but after reading some of these comments, I think it should just be 2 jail servers with both half minigames and half traditional because like pureblood said, people would lean towards minigames and we would have a dead server with half the players.

I do encourage the 2 seperate servers but I think they should be roughly the same and not one just minigames and another traditional. 2 Servers would cut down the busy-ness and I think be more enjoyable but splitting minigames and traditional up I dont think would be a very good idea.

But also, what we need are good wardens and eventually the great ones figure it out. The minigames do help though.

I agree with PureBlood. It is easily noticeable that more recently when servers have been added (Inferno, Comp Rotation, and even Assault) they have not been that greatly populated like our older ones. The situation could arise where one server would have 24 people and the other would be empty. Like PureBlood mentioned, everyone would possibly want to try and get in the minigame server because it might be more "fun", but since it only has a capacity of 24 people, that leaves those who are left out to go and wander off somewhere else because they may not have had the intentions of going into the other more traditional jail server. It wouldn't be fair to people if everyone was fighting to get into the more "cool" server and having to settle for the jail that they didn't set out to play. This isn't to say that the minigame jail will be the one that everyone wants to play, it could easily be vice-versa, or even both servers may be heavily populated and favored by the people, these are all just possibilities that should be looked at.

Now on to my main opinion: I don't like the idea of splitting up the people who I play with. Generally, when I go into jail its to play with my friends, whether they are in the clan or just familiar faces that I often see in jail. Having the capacity set to 40 may seem hectic when its full or close to it, but it also allows us to play with more people at once, and when I say people I mean friends and players who we are familiar with, and even those who we are not. I like being able to go into the server and having the opportunity to have fun with 39 other people, sharing the same epic fail or epic win experiences with 39 other people, whether the majority are my friends or strangers.

The idea of breaking this down doesn't seem ideal to me. I would hate to be playing in one server with some friends while others are playing on the other server and having a much better time. People shouldn't be left out. I want to be able to enjoy myself knowing everyone has the chance to be in the same server I am having fun as well, not in a different server unable to be sharing the same thing. This is the point of being in a clan, to experience the same things together, and there is nothing I enjoy sharing more with my clan members than the epic fail and epic win moments that happen often in jail.

For me, if eGO is a big caring and mature family living under the same roof(server), why split the house in two?

I like the current server, and I understand how 2 would be good, but its so much fun with the current cluster-awesome stuff

I just wish some of the old maps were played more.

(Can we get the default map changed?)

 

[IG-88]

If 2-24 slot servers was so great, why did it change??? Obviously there was some problem with it so that it needed to be changed. I think that there should only be one server. It's working out great and there is no reason to change it.

Having 20 players in a traditional style Jail map is a bit boring. The traditional should have 24 players minimum..

Yup. I mean, There would be no such phrase as "massive jail rebellion" anymore. With 20 players it would be, woot kill 7 cts and that's it. Im all for the idea of dividing the mini game maps and the rebelling maps but if it comes at the cost of less people on a map. Nah-uh.

 

[Tag You're It]

I can't say very much of the mini-game server since thats not why i play jail.
The normal jail server with 20-24 players would however pose quite the delicious
challenge, instead of just either rushing with a load of t's or as a ct giving so hard rules you could just as well spray into the t's we would here have to use tactics and brains.

 

[Energy]

1 Large one, and 2 Small ones

 

[LJ Coolio]

I'd perfer one, i cant see 2 being as fun, but then i love having large amounts of people in jail. makes it easier to rebel!! ;D

 

[Do i know you]

One server, because im thinking it will be easier to admin, but i wasn't there when there was 2 servers.

 

[Artinz]

I feel that there should be two jail servers, because personally, I hate all these new jail maps. Some of my favorite maps have been ruined by the automation on minigames. Its just not fun anymore, since the CTs don't have to do anything with the fun games, therefore they choose the boring games where they get to kill Ts, like trivia.

 

[Cyberia]

I like the new Server set up better To be honest.

 

[frap]

YES!

Def. two servers with 24 slots. The old jail was amazing, and required creativity, now it's just like OK FREEDAY AND OK YOU ALL GET ST. There was rarely any of that with the old jail. Plus, the new maps that came out recently are absolute garbage with all of their mini games, so this would help fix that by splitting them up between servers.

So, the 2 servers would require the wardens to have more creativity, would make shorter rounds, and would lessen the people complaining about freekilling, also it would make the T's start talking together again and planning rebellions, instead of one person yelling REBEL AT 5...and the like 3 t's saying that in all chat and ruining it.
