I say 24/7 Badwater. Mah 2nd fav map.... after dustbowl of course. And if not badwater then just remove unpopular maps.
 
I don't go to many EG servers (once and a while i will visit one or two) but i prefer it if it kept to rotations.
 
Get rid of the unpopular maps (pretty much what Wronskain suggested) but don't go 24/7 on any particular map. Choosing only Badwater or Upward is a mistake IMO. They're both great, and generally popular. I really don't understand why maps that people like should be ripped out in favor of yet another TF2 24/7 server. I think Gold Rush should be kept as well--it's a blast and people seem to like it. Hoodoo seems to be a server clearer (which stinks because I think it's fun) and ditto for Frontier (even though the choo-choo is loveable). The Payload Race maps have been a giant failure.

But seriously, I don't think some sort of major format change is going to magically make the server more popular. Payload is (IMO the best game mode) but it's less popular than others. I don't know what arbitrary usage numbers the admins want to hit but it's never going to be as full as some of the other EGO servers (and it sounds like the people pushing this don't even play on Payload much). Bottom line: the server is pretty good as is, and messing with it too much is going to hurt the product. Exactly why the need for a massive format change, justified presumably by a few people saying they heart Badwater (the lamest and most generic of the Payload maps)?

We have sooo many 24/7s still, and I REALLY LIKED CP rotation, despite it's lack of visits, so I was bummed when that was taken down. Just don't do this to Payload as well.

I say just stick with popular maps that people are really going to WANT to play.

Well let me add on to this If this project does end up to fail we can revert it back in to a payload server but I agree the Payload race maps are a real server clearer and should be removed from the list even tough I love then :(. I think we should keep the most popular payload maps on rotation and I think the payload server on a whole would do much better than it is at the moment although if neither of these idea's work we should head for a badwater server as it would be popular am guessing but as a downside it will remove some variety from eGO server's witch I think shouldn't happen. Only time can tell if this will change anything for the moment no one know's what's going to happen.
 
If you remove the payload server i will create my own payload server and find the box that holds tf2 eGO servers and then ill upload my server to that box and then, then it will be ok..

Hmm
 
It seem's like everyone agree's that we should just remove the unpopular ones.
 
I say badwater, because it has kind of a competitive feel to it that lots of people like.
 
I got a suggestion, why don't we try to add some custom payload maps, for a rotation. Before we add those maps permanently, we should test them.
The reason being is that it creates variety and that people like to explore new maps when they get tired of old ones. I have played on GOOD custom maps before but I didn't add them on my favorites.
Next solution: We make our own map.

I realize I'm kind of being a jerk, and I apologize to the extent that I can, but you hardly play on the Payload server. So far as I can tell, you live on 2fort and CP and visit Payload infrequently at best. I get the whole "voting" thing and yadda yadda but I hope the admins who are looking at this thread don't just blindly look at the posts and results in the poll without considering whether the Payload regulars hate a potential change to a 24/7 server. Looking at just supergamer and jeremy on this page, they're both in favor of 24/7 Badwater and yet they spend almost all of their EGO server time on non-Payload servers.

I don't play on the Payload servers much, but when I do play on them it's because I want variation in the maps. I tend to stick to my dustbowl/2fort but those are 24/7 and it gets boring after a while. The rotation servers offer more variation and I don't think more 24/7 servers are good for people in our clan who play exclusively on our own servers because we'll be stuck playing the same maps all the time.
 
If you change payload I swear to Gabe I'll visit all of the admins houses and burn them to the ground while you watch and I don't care if their family is inside D:<

But I can of support removing some of the unpopular maps. That said, nobody is taking nowhere my goldrush, or badwater or upward.
Edit. You can get rid of 2fort and make another harvest :)
