On the servers with the Votemap plugin, the randomness value
which governs when maps show up as vote options has been
turned down. This means that the servers are more likely to
run close to the full rotation instead of cycling between 4 or 5 maps.

Armored Kill has not been updated because it was a 6 month
prepaid server and eGO has decided not to continue paying
for that server so it is being cancelled.

These decisions we made based on the data you gave us from
that form we had you fill out. If you would like to take a look at
the data the links to it are below.

Server Configuration Data

We were trying to make two hardcore and two normal servers
but then we were told that we lost the AK server so the decision
became harder. We flipped a coin. As for City maps vs Rush for
the 32 slot server we decided on City Maps because it was filling
before and Rush did not.

All servers will be getting a plug in that allows for the server to
rotate to a different map if the server sits empty for a certain
amount of time. That plug in will be up and running as soon as
I have time to look into it and figure out how it works exactly
(hopefully by the end of the week).

Server Update

For those of you who frequently fill the HC Rush server, I realized
that one of the installed plugins allows for the server to rotate to
a different map when the server sits empty for a certain amount
of time. Please give me some time to figure the plugin out exactly
and hopefully I will have it running later this week.

Huzzah! Large conquest OP (just kidding).

But really, large conquest is going to be awesome (if we fill it that is (also, thanks for Normal mode conquest))

Bad Company 2 Hardcore Rush fillers rejoice! The server now rotates through the maplist if the server sits empty for too long. Currently it is set to spend 3 minutes on the map and then it will move to the next map in the rotation. I can also set it up so that it will always go to the same map but I figured I'd start with the rotation so you weren't always starting on Valparaiso and then playing through the maplist.


BF3 players I still need to tinker some more with the plugin. It doesn't seem to working as the developer says it should but I don't know whether that is me missing something or the plugin not working after a patch. Either way I will try to figure it out.
