Would you pay for a reserved slot?

[bottleoftheFUNK]

no reserved slots plz

 

[Naku_vamp]

mixed feelings...

1. no because a populated/full server is fantastic, there will be to many reserved slots in which the pubs will be kicked bc the members want to play, in results in angry pubbers thus lower populated servers

2. yes being, if theres a full server and theres no admins on at the time to warn/kick/ban pubs from breaking the rules, and disrupting the server, that will also result in population loss. although i think the private slots should be reserved for advisor and higher. (not saying it will happen, but it could also result in abusing this privilege)

am I the only one that sees full servers/no admin scenario a very rare one? iv been in full servers on multiple games and there is almost always at least one O at the very least a G if a G needs an O they can probably contact one but im sure to some degree they can keep control until an O gets there, and at the very least if there is a hacker disturbance a regular pub would probably contact someone they know from the clan its happened to me before a pub from CSS steam messaged me that someone was hacking i joined and took care of it

 

[iamevilbear]

No thanks!

 

[Razor]

NO !!!! I would hate to be having fun and get kicked from the server.

Personally, I find the thought of eGO servers having reserved slots to be completely against what we stand for. The pubs are what make our servers the awesome places they are. We are what they community makes us, and we should never forget that.

 

[MSK Impostr]

I don't like the idea of reserved slots. Maybe the only reason would be to have someone like Artimus to come on and check out the servers or something.

I'm not a tech person, but I believe they are capable of checking remotely via rcon or something fancy sounding like that.

Goes against everything this community has ever stood for.

 

[Aneruen]

is money really important enough to completely go against one of eGO's founding values? I personally would much rather have a few servers that are competitive to join and enjoyable than 15 empty ones with reserved slots for people that never log in.

 

[ziant]

nooo

 

[a pet rock]

Reserved slots are the devil.

 

[NixJedi]

If the slots are available to eGO and above admins, yes, especially for those of us who don't have RCON/server backend command access to ban while out of server.

It would only make sense for those instances where an admin absolutely needs to be in a server to take care of a punk.

Reserved slots to play as usual, I don't see the point. Favoring some over others just because they have some spare cash isn't something that eGO has ever promoted (free admin, contests for Donator status/perks, etc.)...

If we really are hurting that much for cash as to start probing an idea such as this we need to close down some servers across the various Divisions...

My 2 cents... It's a novel idea, but only really useful to those of us who can ban and who otherwise would have trouble accessing a full server (again, those without RCON/similar server backend access)

NO!

When I joined I was told (and I would hope that still holds true) that something like this is against the very essence of EdgeGamers.

Pubs get pretty angry if they get booted from a server for a reserved slot - we'd take a hit in our server stats.

 

[Beta]

No. One of the things I really enjoy about Edgegamers is lack of reserved slots.

 

[MentalSoul]

Nope - perfectly happy waiting in line or joining a different server.

 

[Kevimaster]

No, do not like reserved slots on any servers and have always liked that we don't have them.

You are. This is a more prevalent issue than you'd think.

 

[Vexx]

No thanks.

I wouldn't pay for it in the first place, and I would rather not get booted out of the server for someone who is.

 

[SigmaMX]

I'd pay for that, but Im not sure it'd be fair

 

[Believer]

I'd say no. Not because I wouldn't be willing to pay for it, but I've never been a fan of any servers that actually have reserved slots; I'd prefer fair treatment and to have to wait in a line over special privileges

This. I feel like one of the main reasons to join eGO is to promote the community experience, and this little detail matters.

In BC2 (currently the only game that has reserved slots), leadership are the only people that have them...and most of us try to wait until a server is not full so we don't kick people. We have given them away as prizes to just a few members during tournaments and got numerous complaints. Reserved slots only serve to frustrate pubbers and members alike. You wait to get into the server and can get promptly booted out by someone just because they have enough money to buy a slot?

It's something "all the other" communities do. Pay for slots, pay for admins. I hope we don't go down that path as it would be a tragic diversion from the founding principles of eGO.
