Sumac's plan worked out.. kinda... sorta.

I dont get it, that wont bring pubs to the server and fill it up, this doesnt count as the FF trail does it?

This had nothing to do with my suggestion. My suggestion was to bring in new players that eGO hasn't seen before, not to remove current members from other servers for a few hours on a Friday.

This could, But we still have to wait till we have answer about a server being FF

 

[Old Monkei]

Definitely a step in the right direction Now we need to move the other foot forward to complete the process of a 24/7 FF server.

The restaurant is open 24/7 but if I only serve food on Friday nights from 9pm to midnight; the restaurant will always be empty... Customers will only glance in the window and move on as no one is sitting down enjoying a meal at any other time of the day.

Correction this wouldn't be moving current members from our servers, This will be done on the Public Server not the event server

You're right Compton (at least to a degree). Simply enabling FF or changing the server name or any other changes down the road simply won't bring pubs to the server in itself. What will bring people into the server is simple...


YOU!


What do I mean? It's quite simple. Pubbers look at how many people are on the server at any time when they decide to join a server. If you and several other people join the server, people will come. Moreover, simply doing this once does not cut it. It must be repetitive. People will see that the server has people in it consistently and start adding it to their favorites. Then they will, hopefully, consistently join our server. This is usually how it works. It usually doesn't depend wholly on FF or the name of the server, but on YOU!

I think this is a good time to remind everyone here that this is not a 1-stop solution. Simply enabling FF will not instantaneously fill the server. It takes effort and dedication by YOU (read above). The intentions of this is simple. It is to simply introduce a FF environment to everyone here and pubbers alike while we get everything we need (approval, technical issues, plug-ins, etc.) sorted. Instead of doing nothing during this time, GLT has stepped up to do this for everyone.

Why not slowly introduce a new concept (to most here) by integrating it into an event for the time being while we get final approval? For most here, the only exposure to FF is from realism and let's face it, in a public server, FF-on is completely different than realism.

So go get your feet wet, enjoy FF, and have fun. There's absolutely no reason to be frustrated by this, but instead, try to embrace it and usher in the new idea by helping it tread through the waters.

 

[Sumac]

You are still missing the point, you will not get NEW players into eGO servers with this event. There will be no FF designation on the server list. How will this bring in players that have not been to eGO before? Are we as members going to go to other clan servers and say, "Hey, come check out eGO Anzio on Fridays at 9pm, we have FF then.

 

[Sumac]

Cwhit, what you seem to be ignoring is the fact that we are still pulling players from other servers to accomplish this. We are taking something from one hand and placing it in another.

This is my last post on this, not trying to turn this into a complaint thread, just completely disagree with the general approach that has been taken lately.

 

[ST0RMY]

Why not have this event for 168 hours a week?

 

[BIGBAS]

nICE!!

 

[Smilodon]

Lol, I see what you did there.

 

[Dr.Compton]

Thats just crazy! Everyone knows FF servers never work unless you start off giving them one hour a week to pull away from other servers!

All right kiddies, we've got FF on a server. If you want more FF time here is what you need to do. Use all the FF time you can. Keep the server full. Work the bugs out. Some of us haven't embraced it yet so let's keep it friendly and lead by example.

If everything runs smooth and we keep it full we've got leverage when we ask for more time. We've got credibility.

So accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, and fill it up.

Interesting, I have been told this has nothing to do with going FF on the server at all, this is just to kill time I was told.

Here is the issue with basing a decision on a trial run like this. The server isn't listed as a FF server, so the only people that will join are members that know it's FF at that time. Any non-members that see it's FF at that one hour per week will not be willing to switch, to leave their own server for 1 hour per week then go back, it's absurd to think they will.

Also, this in no way would be a fair test, taking a dead server and making it FF for 1 hour a week and basing a decision off that. You are BEGGING to have the request for full FF denied as the server pop wouldn't change.

The original idea behind this wasn't to get everyone to embrace it, it's a clan of all non-FF servers, that would be impossible. The idea behind it was to bring in new players.

Lucky I have been told this is simply to have something to do in the meantime and will in NO WAY affect if the server goes FF or not.

As an event we will all obviously be there no matter what our opinion to help support the division. As we should. So, as an event that has no bearing on moving this to full FF, I'm all for it.
