So, as many of you know, there has been a petition going around to get some data for some changes we're wanting to make to Foundry.

With the help of our foundry regulars, we've come up with the following changes:

This will be the map rotation:
Code: 
cp_foundry
cp_process_final
cp_gullywash_final1
cp_badlands
cp_snakewater_final1
cp_coldfront
cp_granary
cp_yukon_final
cp_freight_final1
cp_5gorge
cp_fastlane
cp_well

Instead of having a set map rotation, the next map will be decided after each round by a vote. We'll be adding different weight to the options for Yukon, Freight, 5gorge, Fastlane and Well, as they were the least popular choices. We believe this will be the best option for player retention. We'll also be adding RTV as well.

This is all in hopes to spark some new interest and keep the server alive. Foundry's ranks have been slipping and instead of completely removing it, we wanted to give this new configuration a chance.

Please be looking for these changes to be taking effect in the very near future. We will be working on this tonight.

I guess tonight was the grand opening. A ton of people, members and pubs, came out and had a blast.

Plus, my favorite quote ever came from the event:

I'll talk to GGVW.
Map time reduced to 30 minutes.
 
Remove the bad maps and add good maps
Bad maps empty out the server so fast.
Remove:
Yukon
Fastlane
Well
Freight

Add:
pl_upward
pl_badwater
pl_goldrush
pl_swiftwater_ugc
pl_thundermountain
cp_sunshine
koth_pro_viaduct
koth_harvest_final
koth_lakeside_final

Change the name to: Good maps or competitive oriented

It's not because the server isn't filling that we need to remove the server or " change the direction " it's just that most of the people from team fortress 2 division don't do anything for the division such as:
Recruiting
Filling
Teamspeak
Being active on the forums

As soon as we get enough people who are dedicated to our division, our server will be filled properly and recruiting will come back to its usual numbers. Sometimes I even see some of our guys on other servers even when our servers are not all filled.

It's not the servers fault, it's our fault. We don't have enough people dedicated like we used to. Either we all make an effort or at some point we're only gonna have 2fort and Dustbowl and that's gonna be a disaster.


Oh and haloracer:

I barely ever see you on our weak servers like cp rotation, last time was the 26th if I remember correctly.
If you are ,pretty much only, on 2fort and dbowl why would you want to have a word about the server you don't even try to fill?
Not trying to be despotic or what but I feel that people who are dedicated and actually do the hard work should have the word on this.
Don't take it wrong haloracer nothing personal, its just that you are the first to say we should change the server, but you are the last to fill it up with us daily.

Ledzo is giving us the hardcore truth, only a few members of this division are helping its sad that I can count with my hands who they are. We need every single person on this if we are to be successful. Before we go any further to fingerpointing....keep in mind its not very motiving to go and fill servers or play tf2 if there arent people around to do so.

Is it the time and RL? the people? the game getting old? Why dont I see people more ready to hop on TF2 and instead go play other non supported eGO games? Id love to spend more time with TF2 but umm kinda of a problem when there are none to do so with in TS3. If there is its usually like people playing another game. We need your help guys.

Wait, are we setting up servers for our community or server rankings? I am not one of those people who fill that server, simply because I don't like playing there. Am I to be crucified for not helping you out with making it a popular server just to never play there again myself?

It seems to me that if people from our division do not enjoy it, another direction is needed, and since you can count the people who enjoy it on one hand...
Then again, I probably got this all wrong. Having a number one server is all that matters.

This kind of corporate thinking is way more scary to me than having two servers will ever be.
