I could see some problems between one Warpath being =(eGO)= main and then a second community. But - if the first one is filled, we will fill the second one and not just to go on to meet friends. With this in mind, a second 24 along with changing the current one to 24 seems like the best course of action Having 62 players playing warpath every night is a bit hasty. Also, the servers empty out pretty well during the night and usually only one server is filled. I would also suggest switching the second Warpath into a custom map or classic map for a couple of hours for people to play around in.

I have to agree with Kaptain Kangaroo again. As today I got to sit through several straight stalemates in which the action rarely moved away from the third point, I have to question why you would take your best community and change it? How does changing the dynamic of your best server/server community make the situation better? The line to get in is still very long but now we get sub-standard action as a reward for our patience.
And the melee stalemate deathmatch makes no logical sense. That's settling the stalemate using rules and tactics that don't actually exist in the actual game. I like the sports analogy Kaptain used but would go to the extreme of stating that it's more like deciding after nine innings of a tied baseball game to have the pitchers decide the game with a field goal kicking contest; it has nothing to do with the game anyone was just playing.
Two 24 man servers does not sound like such a hardship, but if the goal of the clan is to boost server populations at the expense of the gaming experience, then aren't our priorities a bit backwards?

Ok, because we have ( me included) whined too much about connection queues , we jumped on the 32 slots server because we couldnt be patient enough to wait in line for 30 minutes. And now, we're stuck with stalemates. We moaned to get the extra slots and now we moan because there is just too many players.
Although sudden death does get rid of the stalemates, it is like restarting a fresh game of melee only, which will be fun for a minute but will leave a bitter taste in your mouth if you had the other team backed up to their last point and they win in sudden death.
I believe having 2 x 24 slots servers will split the community but at least, in a 24 slots server, there is less stalemate and mayhem. Therefore more playable environnement. If friends want to play with each others, they still can join one of the servers. But keep in mind that the servers will start emptying anyway since most of the members are from north america. We'd have to recruit more british, aussie and european members to fill the servers during the morning.
On the whole, sudden death sounds fun but it doesnt solve the problem. And maybe nothing will... but at least we are here trying to find a solution

32 slot servers are here to stay, if we are going to compete with the other most popular servers in the world we have to run 32 slots. So since the map is so very popular, we are going to try and start up another warpath 32 slot, the old badlands server.
We try hard to please our fellow clanmembers, but we cannot please everyone all the time. You guys have a lot of fun on that map, but dont count out our other maps. If you guys made friends in warpath, you can make them anywhere. I go from server to server on a weekly basis and try to play them all just to meet everyone.
This new warpath server will hopefully be a success. I have always loved the map either 24 or 32, it doesnt matter to me. We havent been this successful in the past by running crappy servers or having crappy admins. We have the best of both worlds in the entire world, hopefully this new server will ease everyone's waiting time
