Just for your information remember when we had dust2 deathmatch server and it did amazing for about a month? Well after a while it died down and guess what it became?????? Yup you guessed it CS:S Rotation Server. I honestly do not see why everyone wants this so bad when in the past it was tough to get 5 peopole on the server. Oh yea and to top it off does anyone know what that server ended up turning into? Take a random guess.... All in all CS:S Rotation has been tried and it failed just as fast as the zombie server did. Anyway why try something on a server that we know will fail in a month or two? Would be like me saying hey a bhop server sounds awesome lets get one. Everyone who likes bhop starts playing and then people get tired of it.. correct me if i am wrong but try and go to a populated bhop, zombie, climb, or rotation server. If you can find one hit me up lol. Lastly if CS:S were to get another server, which i dont think they will we have a ton as is, it should be gungame. Sure us eGO members might not be there 24/7 but it is a good way to get more pubs on our servers. I know several people who ask for a gungame server who is not in eGO. It is not always what we enjoy the most to play you have to think about potential new members. What is the trend? Honestly it might not hurt to have another dust2 server. In the past we had de_dust and de_dust2. Honestly there are a lot of servers currently and they are doing well. If you were to remove highschool or any other server there will be regulars and pubs that will no longer go to that server. I know this a lot to read and all but the main thing to get out of this is that you have to think what is best for people outside of eGO in order for us to grow succesfully and efficiently.
On other topic: EVENT SERVER
The event server sits on empty half the day or more each day. To help meet the needs of the consumers (eGO and non eGO gamers) you can do 1 of two things.
1. Open the event server to the public for a set amount of time each day. Make sure it is same time each day so pubs will be able to know when to get on easier. You can try different things each week or month. For instance say the trend is gungame or rotation, well you can do gungame for a while and once it dies down make it a rotation server so on so on. This would not be hard to do as the event server already has all the plugins and maps required. All you would have to do is make a file for maps to vote on or automatically change to.
2. Dont open the event server and waste a perfectly good opportunity. Even if the server is only open 5 hours each day we will draw in more non eGO members. Have like an automated message say server shutting down in 1 hour or 30 min that way no one freaks out. If it is possible maybe when everyone will be kicked make the message say "Server open from ??:?? to ??:?? [timezone].
If you guys actually read all of this i thank you for listening.
