24/7?

[Higatron]

Why are all of the servers 24/7 one map? It'd be nice if there was a rotating server, because I can only play one map for so long until it gets old.

 

[Blackestsoul]

Thats why you change servers...the whole point of having 24/7 and multi servers is so the same server doesnt get cluttered with just the same 32 people all the time

 

[Booster37]

Well, we had a rotation server, but we are currently just working on maps that we'll know that will be consistently popular. We just want to keep up the maps that players will actually be interested in.

 

[Blackestsoul]

Ya that too...what he said ^.^....Everyone that likes a map can enjoy the map they want...instead of jumping threw several maps looking for one single one they want till it once again rotates

Why change something that works?

If it ain't broken , dont fix it. (This applies for cars and computer , specially patches)

 

[notsol337]

I've tended to almost never get to play the maps I want due to my playtimes being pretty much peak hours, so servers are full. Then people stay in the servers for quite some time, and by then I'm back to the books. A rotation server would be nice! Not necessarily every server, but a server! Especially a custom maps rotation with hallway of death, lazytown, maybe a few basic training maps, etc. Just to mix stuff up and get a general idea of what custom maps will get played, and which maps people won't play.

because it would seem there are a minority of players which would like a rotating server.
If you want to apply that into your context, its a minor crack

 

[Dr. Gauma369]

well the reason for not having rotation is bcause the council thinks it is in the best interest of the clan not to have a rotation going... seems they are doing something right since our dutbowl server is within top 10 and 2fort is almost there as well... if at some point they decide that rotation mapa would be best then they most likely will have rotation map but right now there isnt one...just jump from server to sever

 

[Signe]

Rotation servers don't stay popular. Every time the map changes half the users on the server (or more, frequently) will drop because it's not one that they like. That means it will never significantly go up in rank.

This is exactly correct. Maybe sometime in the future but nothing soon.

 

[Dλrw!N]

Yeah rotating servers wouldn't work if you ask me...

 

[SubArtic]

Either way...doesn't matter 24/7 means 24/7 the map won't change, want a different map change servers...we just had a meeting about this ><

 

[Robo]

If anything...We might need to stand up more server instances for some maps. They 2Fort and Gravelpit seem to be full quite consistently.

Also, are we going to keep the gravelpit server? It is usually empty, and I see that a lot of custom maps (ctf_convoy) ARE VERY popular, perhaps we can change it?
Oh well, the council knows how to run things, since they have been pretty well.

I must admit I enjoy the 24/7 servers you guys have. Whenever I am not in one of my clans servers I come to your servers. It is nice to be able to just play 2 fort or just dustbowl and not worry about it changing in 10 minutes. It saves me from having to hop from server to server.

I'm of two minds, and given a room full of servers, I'd do a little bit of both. Sometimes, I'd like to be surprised to discover that I'm on one map or another. Other times, however, I'm in the mood to play on a particular map, and as long as I can get in, I'm happy.
