*how to "fix" you "ping" """problem"""*
i have been asked by many members and non-members while on Valvemaps, "oh hey cool! valvemaps. did we lose backmesa?" then i say no, give post the IP in chat. and they are like "thanks". then they disconnect going strait there. I dont know how they missed the server moving but many did. and I'm afraid that some just accepted its' disappearance and played skyrim.
we have some die-hard valvemap fans that are in there alone everyday trying to fill the server. BM needs YOU to be those players.
many non-members(not just 2 or 3) have told me that they wont play BM until we fix the ping. and many say that with confidence that we would.
I played with 5 ping for a year. loved it. then some how it jumped to an average of 45. Hated it for about 10min. Played with 45-50 ping for a year. then, it jumped to 70-90, ALL ON THE SAME SERVER. Lets face it, that line is getting pretty heavy.
HOW TO FIX LAG WITH A HIGHER PING
Option 1: lower graphics to gain more pfs, and enjoy the game.
2: buy an i7XM with a Quadro 6000 graphics card(lol)
3: donate lots if money to get server moved back.(would not recommend moving valve because we(die-hard fans) would have to start over on getting people to come all the time).
4: refer back to option 1
5:just hit ppl with the fish all day lol
BONK!

Okay, I'm tired of this crap. I don't care what your favorite server is, there is no excuse for not filling the other servers. It's called courtesy. It's selfish to demand for your favorite server back and ask people to help fill it, but then turn around and not help your clanmates keep their favorite server going. Blackmesa used to be our most popular map, it was ranked 50 at one point. There is no, repeat NO, reason why we are not filling mesa. I may personally not enjoy mesa as much as I used to, but I will still help fill it because it is a map that many of my friends really enjoy. The lag should not matter, we should still try to fill it.
TL
What does this mean "ranked 50"
Is there a ranking for global tf2 servers? or is it eGO only?
GameTracker has rankings for TF2 servers globally. Black Mesa was ranked 50th in the world at one point.

It almost broke 40 a few years ago. Ho hum.
A new map is rising from the ashes. Looks like it may even have a map pack for some of the prop pieces. You will know more soon. I will be needing an orange map test of it soon to verify the game play. The name might change too. The name will make sense too.

Keep up the good work bro.

Hi guys,, thanx for the support. The testing will most likely be an "event" of some sorts. I might hit some of you up to dry run on your servers first. the upper area game play will be all new. the lower will be changed a little but i think you will agree for the best. Here is what we will have from old map.. 1) Stairs.. oh yea,,these are here to stay,, 2) suction vents.. but now they get you to sniper nests, 3) quad doors,, fear them,, love them.. map room.. they stay. 4) vents. not as many and more statigic, 5) Last cap points areas will be feel familiar. whats new??? oh god.. we are getting a TRAM! but not to ride. acts as a blocker between the sniper nests 
plus an out door area! Cap A in style. this should be very rocket jumping friendly. spawn camping will be hard too as spawn areas will have 2 exits that are in different areas.

If you have some spare time, could make another video? If you think it's worth showing the changes.
