A crazy little thing called Kalt...

[Spray]

Hey guys and gals, I guess it's time to open up some discussion about the Argentan server. Most of you know why we went with an Argentan server and you know the high hopes we had for it. Needless to say, it never really took off and it's time for a change. We're going back to the drawing board....with one simple change. I want all of you to write all over it.

At this point, the server is in a limbo of sorts. I know there have been many opinions voiced about a change back to Kalt. If that's what you want, then let us know. If it's not what you want, then let us know. I'll get some ideas going for this discussion, but I really want feedback from everyone.

Possible server ideas:

24/7 Argentan - Keep it as it is, we love it and are waiting for a special occasion to keep it full all the time, we've just been messing with you, Spray!

24/7 Kalt - The original server, everything as it was.

24/7 Kalt Rotation - A rotation of Kalt maps including the original.

24/7 Kalt |INSTANT RESPAWN| - Much like the Kobayashi Maru, a no-win scenario.

Now those are just what my limited mind can think of. Throw up some suggestions, build on ideas, lets get another top 5 server up and running.

24/7 Kalt INSTANT RESPAWN?!!?!?!??$>#%#$^$%&^ + INFINITY X 5

That would be an epic moedown!

 

[BaCkStAb!]

torn between original kalt and the instant respawn, either way its win-win

 

[5starGeneralAlphaSnake]

Can we try Palermo ? Please its been so long since ive played Palermo on eGO.

 

[LeviTheDegu]

Santos instant respawn :3

I do prefer Kalt to Argentan, and regardless of the base map that is eventually chose, might I suggest converting this box into a part-time public realism server?

I.e., when there are a minimum of say, 10 players in-game (and the majority vote that they want realism), the admin who is present can initiate and administer a realism. Perhaps not -all- admins should have the authority to do this of course, just those experienced enough with realism.

IMO there is enough internal+external demand for this to make the box much more populated than it is now (or has been).

Thoughts?

OBVIOUS 24/7 Kalt |INSTANT RESPAWN| IS OBVIOUS

You sir are my hero for this suggestion. I feel since realism is one of the major contributing factors to DOD:S' survival that creating a part-time pub realism server would be amazing.... And not to fear dear leadership we wouldn't have to comform to all the "proper" realism community styles. just a mod with a voting system on it. I'd sayif possible to have only certain admins able to initiate the mod commands (maybe have an occasional realism admin class) or have select people who understand how to properly lead realism...

Option 1: Realism pub server (these always have people in them and it seems like we pretty much always have guys on who can admin it)

Option 2: Back to normal Kalt

We'll rotate the type of kalt server every night just for you. we'll go from kalt rotation, to kalt dedicated to kalt instant respawn to kaltgaism.

 

[Bad Brain]

a realism server sounds best tbh, theres always people up for realism, from eGO or units/pubs.
i dont see what would be different from old kalt if it went back to that, and the maps too much of a stalemate already for instant repawn, we'd never see a round end.

or we could have a league map rotation, changing map every week to whatever is getting played next. but imo a realism server would be much more succesfull

 

[I SURVIVED LONDON BLITZ]

Kalt, I have been away for the weekend so I am late, but yes Kalt.

 

[tomi87]

kalt rotation sound good

 

[Superglue]

kalt rotation with what though? what other maps? on a vote system? Also I think realism would be a blast! although would it take away from the fun atmosphere of the event on Saturdays?

 

[anomaly]

Option 1: Realism server :drool:
Option 2: Palermo/Kalt rotation (Instant respawn?)
Option 3: 'League' maps rotation or one/two of them (Santos, Catania, Harrington, Lennon etc)

I honestly think that the Realism server would catch on. Put some advertisements in our other servers, a MOTD that works and displays the realism rules.
Admins get realism commands after taking a realism 101. It really seems like a great idea!

 

[tomi87]

hmm realism server sound also good

 

[racing88]

24/7 Kalt Rotation <--------------- this would sound good

 

[Blixx]

Yes

24/7 Kalt |INSTANT RESPAWN

 

[Spartacus_Legolas]

I like Skippy's idea. It'd be similar to what we kinda see on other realism servers, etc.
It's definitely something that would attract pubbers who like realism scrims. Of course we'd have to monitor these closely, server rules etc.

But, if I had to choose from the options Spray provided... then it'd arguably be the Kalt rotation... nice to have that minor twist and variation I suppose.
