Counter-Strike: Source Italy Server

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.

ayyyy would play that

I heard Zombie Mod's pretty cool.

cool for a dead server. i remember playing this with you and it was full..for a little while..i love zombie mod..but it sat empty for a while before we got rid of it..after all that work you did for it.

Office is way to T sided. I'd say bring back High School!

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.

There are definitely a lot of dedicated pubs that play it regularly who would be sad to see it change or go. I'm not sure what the reason is for the recent decline because of the fact that there would be so many regulars playing in there on a nightly basis. As unpopular of a map that Italy is to source anymore, the regular pugs and eGO members that fill it are what keep it going. As mentioned, the reason Dust2 stays so full is because of pugs. Besides zombiemod, surf, and classic map rotations, Dust2 and Office are probably the two most popular maps still played in source. I wouldn't be too quick to want to change it, and rather continue to monitor it, as it has been a very popular server of ours for so long. The Italy server is what originally made me join eGO and I would be sad to see it go.

I'd love to see Office.

Why don't you just rotate italy/highschool.

Seems I'm late to the conversation...

I started eGO in Dust1... then merged to Highschool, then Office and now Italy. I'll be honest, not a lot of ppl are on anymore, so I tend to play another server or another game all together. I'm not against doing a rotation server, maybe with Italy, Office and HS. But the stay time in Italy is usually pretty short due to the one sided nature of the map. Pubs jump in, and are gone before the round is even over. I'm all for change, but it's nice having a server I can jump on and enjoy since I rarely play the Dust2 server anymore. Plus I think mixing it up would stimulate the server for a bit. Then it's our job to play!

Long time player here... I've played Italy 24/7 and Highschool back when it was up. I have a copy of the highschool map I run local sometimes.

I was disappointed to login the other day and see absolutely no one on and Italy replaced with Office. I would love to see a rotation server go in with Italy, Highschool and the classics (Aztec, Nuke, etc.)

Why don't you just rotate italy/highschool.

I love this idea

Why not have a rotation of the 3 maps in question? I will be honest. When I look at a server and see that its the same map....24/7...I don't go there. I mean the maps are great, in moderation. Why not keep the Dust 2 server Dust 2 obviously and make the server not doing so good a multi map server. Even throw in some other maps like dust and others. Maybe the rotation will bring some life to the server?

Rotations are very hard to keep going. It's worth a try. But often one map will cause the server to die down and when low numbers hit, people sometimes tend to leave. It's worth giving it a shot since they are popular maps though. The player base needs to exist is the biggest problem. It seems a lot of our members play mostly GO and not so much Source these days.

If we can get the most requested maps on one server...get an admin or a few admins (cause it would be hard for one.) to keep tabs on whats going on as far as activity and maybe later down the road change it to just the one map that stays the most active...If people leave during a certain map, remove it. I know we have a dedicated dust 2 server but maybe even throw it in the mix just to get people to play. If worst comes to worst change the server to dust or dust 2. I know we already have a dust 2 server but it stays pretty full for the most part and more than likely would generate more people. Especially when the one is full people will be able to join another dust 2 server and not have to join another communities server.

Our DoD:s rotation server had a good run when DoD:s player figues really started to die. You're lucky people have moved onto a better version of the game, rather than just leave it alltogether
