Zombie servers?

[K3nJa]

I was asked a question the other day, why does eGO not have a zombie server, and after a little bit of thought, I think it would be a great idea! So why don't we?

 

[RedDragonKnight]

Had one at one point, not enough people played it to constitute having one.

we've had a zombie server many times before but not enough people played on it.

Let me take you through this step by step:
Step 1: Players complain and outrage as to why we don't have a zombie server!
Step 2: After weeks of non stop talk about zombie server the CS:S leadership agrees.
Step 3: First week of the server being up its filled everyday and everyone is happy
Step 4: 1 month later the server is dead no one is playing it.
Step 5: Leadership takes the server down
Step 6: Repeat

Step 4: 1 month later the server is dead no one is playing it.

It actually started making a comeback when it was pulled due to an update breaking the plugin.

I wouldn't mind if we had it again, I missed it when the update broke it and well I think it had a decent player base at that time.

I always thought it did just as good as the other servers (except the always full Dust2). Yeah it had a down time but it was just the same as most of the other servers (as in it filled up in the afternoon).

There were 2 periods where we had a zombie server (in the 3 years I've been here). The first one had both escape and regular zombie maps. The server would empty quickly when it would go non-escape and it was hard to fill early in the day when it was a non-escape map. The second one was just escape and seemed to be filled more often, yet it lasted less than the original one. From what I remember both times there really wasn't a warning that the servers were going away they just disappeared.

I don't know for sure if Dust or Italy do that much better than the Zombie server did, I'm sure Italy does but I doubt Dust does.

We currently have no plans to bring back a ZM server due to the lack of support the last 2 times we have tried this.

Yea I know that. But for the purpose of that post it wouldn't make sense to add server gets better and gets replaced with Italy ^_^

And no I didn't I came up with that on the spot

I agree! Anyway not enough people to play a Zombie server.

 

[K3nJa]

Why 6 new servers? Isn't 1 new server enough. :O

 

[InnoVation]

The zombie server was popular for a time, but there wasn't a lot of good maps to play on. Many had super cheap spots where it was impossible for zombies to win.. And it always seemed the same maps were played.

 

[Kaspitone]

I was under the impression that a lot of our resources are going to be dedicated to CS:GO right now and that we aren't going to be having any new servers in CS:S in the near future.

Failed once, failed twice.... In other words, why beat a dead horse.
