Is it time to change our Italy server?

Rank Last Month:
server_rank.php

Steady Decline.


Players Last 7 Days:
server_players.php

Not Too Bad...


Average (past month): 7


Do we keep it as Italy? Do we do a throwback and bring back Office or Highschool? Thoughts?
 
Whatever we change it to, if we change it, the most important part is getting people to play it and help fill it / start it up. I honestly think that's what Italy is truly lacking, and I feel that any other cs:s server will have the same fate without some people willing to actually play on it. A lot of our community members just aren't interested in cs:s it seems, at least not when compared to our cs:go player base.

Dust2 will always sustain itself in the high ranks due to a large amount of pubs that frequently play on our server as regulars.
 
Seems good so far, I dont have CSS so I wouldnt be able to say much. If it starts to decline again then I would say something needs to be done..

Agreed.

As far as Italy, though - I rarely see it completely full lately, but usually during the Summer it gets full rather often.

Even though the rank is slowly declining, I think it's fine as-is for the time being, all things considered.

Italy has been a staple for a while, even after we moved over to source. There is still a bunch of dedicated pubs that play on it constantly that ive seen, as well as some eGO members.

I feel if we make an attempt to get more people in and fill it some more a playerbase will build up once again. I would gladly help in filling it.

The problem is is if we DO trade it for another server, what would that be? there really isnt much else in terms of source that would see play other than another 24/7 casual map. Most gamemodes such as zombie, surf, etc. are mostly CSGO servers now. A large chunk of People that play source now just enjoy the feel of the game in terms of aiming and mechanics more than GO, so casual servers are what they play on.

I say make an attempt to rebuild a player-base, and if that doesnt work, bring back 24/7 highschool Kappa
 
High school would be cool again. I think it caters well to Source's current audience - players who want to play a more tactical map, but something more unique. With that being said, we do need a good support base from our members. I'm still a diehard source fan, and love high school, so if we brought that back I'd be there.

I second this. Many of the pubs I know on Italy have been there for as long as I can remember. Personally, I think that if we focus more events and contests around the server that we could beter keep a consistent number of players on. Furthermore, if one isn't established at the moment, I'd say that having a dedicated server filling team could be beneficial for the whole division especially in situations such as this.

Keep Italy! It's my fav CSS server! And possibly one of my all time division favorites with the exception of Highschool..... Although bringing back Highschool would be awesome too
 
I heard Zombie Mod's pretty cool.

I also hear there is a Zombie Mod map made by some guy by the name Roque Snipar. It's supposed to have a lot of apples on it. Sounds like a cool map for a cool game mode.
 
I would kill to have Highschool back. But again, it all goes back to dedicating time to make sure that it stays filled.
