More slotting in office?

I am currently talking to leadership about possibly increasing the player slotting in office. Currently, a maximum of 40 players are allowed in eGO's office server. If you have not been paying attention to office and how it stands currently, I will catch you up to speed.

Currently office is hovering in the 300's for server ranking, down from 500's two months ago

Office is spending a majority of its time full, and if not full in the high 30's
And a majority of our players are pubs in fact. It is not just eGO members filling the server up to "look" full, office is genuinely full.

More and more pubs from the "other" office servers who are now coming to ours due to its popularity, are commenting on the high level of maturity our server has compared to others and how much more enjoyable our office server is compared to the competition.

Now here is my goal, to bring office to the 100's in server ranking, or even higher. But I'm setting something realistic for now. And I want to achieve that by summer. Now to do so, we need to keep office full and competitive with the higher ranked servers. If you look up the higher ranked office servers, all offer higher slotting than ours. I want to push for more slotting, so more players can enjoy office. And if you have played on other office servers with more than 40 players on, it is not at all different, no element of the game is changed in my opinion.
However, you may think different. You may think pubs are attracted to our servers because we're a little smaller. But I have not heard any of that and the point of this thread is for you to share such opinions from yourself and pubs.

Leadership will be able to see this. And I feel if the want for more slotting is shown, and few objections are heard, it will happen. This is one of the big deciding points right now, we are just unsure weather the players want more slotting. So tell us your thoughts here, and your voice will be heard.
And for those who say this should be drop boxed, it has, dont worry.

I personally want office to be competitive with the competition. I want eGO office to be the best office server out there. Just as we were able to make our dust2 the most popular, we can do the same for office. However it takes commitment, and increasing the slotting. Dust2 didnt used to be always at 52 slotting, but it was required to make the server inclusive vs. exclusive. If players cant get in, players cant help make the server more popular, and eGO more popular and that much more respected of a community. This last paragraph is my opinion, knowing what you know now, post yours.

Thank you all for considering what I had to say. Help contribute to this topic if you can, and then get out and fill up office!

Opinions can differ on this topic. Office goes back and forth sometimes in rank from the different time zones in the world. Drop box.

When office has 40 people in it, its mayhem. I wouldn't really like an increase in slots, but that's just my personal preference.
 
Ya, Office is too enclosed for more than 40 people. But that's a nice essay you have written.
 
40 people is pushing it. We would need more server resources that just aren't there (I think) because if you notice when you get to 40 you see some lag (not a lot.) Plus it's mayhem as other s have stated. But I mean maybe two more slots wouldn't hurt? Even four but when you get up to the amount that d2 has then it would be bad.

Already answered bmx


I like the feedback, keep it coming.
And remember, we're not saying make office 52. Maybe 2 or 4 extra slots for now. Thoughts?

There's only one server anyone needs to know about and that is Jail.

Increase Jail to 64 slots, get rid of the rest of the servers.
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA TO ME.

..Maybe that's why I've never made big decisions...

No problem. I'll make those changes now. Lol

Ya go ahead with that and watch the REAL Cs players leave and go to DoD Div. We will be glad to take em off Cs div hands :thumbup: :P
 
I personally think that office is all ready hectic enough while full and adding more people will make it super hard for the CT's to do the objective in time.
 
Have you played lagfest D2 with 52 people? The server is a bore. Lagspikes at the beginning of every round when 52 people are connected.
 
Dear everyone who has told me to drop box this
While i drop box this for the second time
Why dont you go read the OP where I state its already drop boxed?
A+ for reading comprehension !


And poca, lag also depends on the integrity of the server/provider
Last time I checked we (eGO) run on some serious equipment, especially the dust2/office box
What a beast it is
 
So if you did dropbox this, why make a huge post? If you are asking leadership for an answer in the dropbox, there is no point to make a thread like this because they will tell you the same thing they said in the dropbox.

Also, before we think about increasing the slots on our servers, why don't we try to keep ALL of our servers full, if not near full 24/7? I just checked and this is what I got:
Jail:33/44
Office: 25/40
Italy:29/36
High school: 32/40
Dust:19/40
Dust2: 52/52

I think we should work in helping some of those servers in remaining full before we start asking leadership to increase the slots on the current servers while we can't even keep the ones we have now full. Just my two cents.
