A rotation server would be cool![]()
Agreed..Or a Rotation server? idk.
Either/or works for me.
i have been begging for one since i joined eGO loll. I still feel a rotation server could be one of our best investments.
im sure you guys had your reasons for trying this, and aztec is good old map, but please~~~~~~~~~ bring dust back!
A rotation server won't happen.. maybe in CSGO but not in CSS. Like bear and Cryptex said, eGO has tried it before and it didn't work out. You guys might think that it won't be unpopular and you can keep a rotation filled. but when it goes from dust2 to a map like militia or inferno, you would see exactly what I'm talking about
6pm EST and only one person in Aztec... de_dust would have been going since noon probably. Sometimes straight thru the night.
It's not fair to blame the Dust entirely for the low player count recently.
First, it's spring, so more people outside longer.
Second, more importantly, de_dust was laggin severely for a long time before the player count dropped. Every time the server filled with more than 7-8 players it disconnected everyone and this went on and on and on... I think it went on a long time partly because not many admins play de_dust. If it were de_dust2, it would have been fixed in a day. And even as it went on and on, and eGO messages about events, and tickets, and etc scrolled by, I never saw one message that said something like "Hey this is management, we are having difficulties with de_dust and working out the problems... we should have it fixed..".
Also, I tried several times to get information about the lag from some admins in other servers but no one seemed to know what was going on or what the solution would be.
Aztec is a decent map but I can play that anywhere. Dust tho... I think Counter Strike just lost its last decent de_dust server. The most classic map - I've been playing it since I was just a little boy.
Edge Gamers is a great organization but I fear that's changing.
The server lag didn't kill any of our other servers. Highschool was also suffering but there is no argument here over lag and the server population. Jail/Italy still did fine even with the constant downtime. As for the whole lag, it was due to DDoS attacks by a mad kid. Those stopped a couple weeks ago and yet Dust would still sit very low every single day. You also can't judge a server (Aztec) based on its population for 1 day. It's been up for about 24 hours now. Dust sat empty for weeks. It was time for change
