Our goal is to obviously grow our Counter-Strike Global Offensive presence. We all want more servers to play on that offer a handful of different options and game modes. I'd love to deliver that. One of the problems we face is the inconsistency of our current server lineup. We kicked ass to get Jail back on track after a disappointing slump. However, we are starting to slip back into an uncomfortable position of server activity.

server_rank.php
server_players.php


These images are the current state of our Jail server. We have dropped over a thousand ranks and the server popularity has dropped significantly. We need to get back into the groove and return to where we belong. How can we do this? It takes initiative. It takes leaders. Often times, normal members and admins rely on our Leadership team to jump start our efforts in server filling or recruiting. While both my team and I love filling servers, we can't be the only ones starting the efforts each day. We need your help to take the initiative and jump start these servers.

How can you help?

Filling.
The server needs to be continually populated with members and pubs. If you notice that one of our servers is empty, you totally shouldn't ignore it and assume someone else will fill it. If you want us to keep that server and you want us to pick up more servers, jump in there and fill it up. Message your friends on Steam and get them to join and play with you. Hop in TeamSpeak and gather a group to come into the server with you.

eeding.
Seeding servers is another method of populating a server while not actually playing. By sitting in spectator, you are essentially adding another player to the player count. Boosting the player count draws pubs who want to play in a full server. Seeding could be a negative thing if you have a full server of spectators and no one playing. A good balance of both is always good. You'll notice I wear an tag in my name recently. It stands for eeding, and afking the server. For those of you who think I ignore you on Steam because I am ingame but never answer... now you know ;)

Recruit
The pubs who join our servers every day should join us here on the forums and in TeamSpeak. Why did you join EGO? What do you enjoy about EGO? Consider passing those values over to someone else and share the experience you currently have. If you know someone who should be a member of our community, offer to help them join.

Play
The easiest thing to do. If you love the server, jump on and have fun. Build a relationship with the people who play on that server. Have fun & make friends. Having a good community relationship on the server is something that will bring pubs back to the server to play again.

I have one Steam gift card left that I am willing to give away to a true CS division MVP. A person who wants to step up and kick-ass helping fill our servers will get it. I'll consult the Leadership team with their thoughts on who they notice is busting their butt for the growth of our game. Next weekend we will choose an MVP.

Filled Servers (⚆ ͜ʖ⚆)
Will get you (☉ ͜ʖ☉)
More servers (◉ ͜ʖ◉)

Y'all think about that one this President's Day weekend...
 
It's hard to fill a server where the player base is so toxic.

lol what does that even mean? Or are you just talking shit?

I think half the reason Jail was filled was because of the constant push and prizes being drawn to the server.

Although I'm back to barely playing again so I can't really discuss the opportunity of growth.

The constant push to fill as well as the migration of some TTT-only players has definitely helped jail in thriving. But it wont mean much if we dont get a constant playerbase and began to recruit.

Lolwut.
 
Wow.

I think a more respectable response to Muffin's post is -

If you see someone causing issues or breaking the rules, contact an admin - whether it be on Steam, TeamSpeak, forums, etc - or post a ban request with the related info and whatever proof you can get - Screenshot, video, text/chat logs, etc

Similarly, if it's a member causing the problems, make a Dropbox post with the prefix 'Neighborhood Watch'

The same thing applies to the very admins responding to any part of this thread. You yourselves have "no room to talk" if you don't take action or are doing something which we don't allow, so don't go playing the blame game just because of someones past when you're breaking a rule/standard/policy also in the process. All you're doing with those types of responses is causing more issues then solving. Grow up.

Ohh thanks for fixing this derailed thread.

It was kind of veering off from the main topic Legend was putting out.
