CSS Office/Rotation server

[Cascsiany]

Tonight while asking about shorter rounds for dust 2 we had an overwhelming number of pubs asking for an office/ rotation server. With the number of issues on the dust 2 server likely caused by being a 64 slot server, adding a dust 2/office server could help alleviate the issues. The 24/7 server could be dropped to a 32/48 slot server. Rounds in dust 2 would be more evenly matched with the smaller player count allowing the time to be left as is.

Other maps could be added to the office rotation server on a temporary basis to see about possibly being added to the rotation permanently.

I don't play CS:S but this sounds great +1

We had an office server, it died. We had italy, it died. We had high-school, it died. All the servers we've tried to start up in cs:s lately die off fairly quickly as we don't retain internal member support for more than a couple weeks.

You're right we would need a lot of internal support. Hosted server full events and eGO members joining advertising and inviting players from the dust 2 server would go a long way to keeping it active. Getting pubs to invite their friends would also be a must. I know it would absolutely be a challenge but if members would play it could be done.

I’d love to support this, but we have a track record in the past 3 years of having 0 support when we put up source servers and them dying after a day.

A bunch of people back it then none play. Which sucks cause it’s fun but our members seem to only care for GO servers now.

As I've only spent 10 or so hours on dust 2, I think that the population there just wants to stay how it is. You can tell that by the lack of members in the servers, and the lack of help for other CSS servers. Honestly, I think most of the people there just want a reliable DD2 server that will never go down.

With 64 slots? Impossible.

We've pretty much hit it on the head. I've watched COUNTLESS CS:S servers go up because a large group of people (some of those including myself) say "Oh my gosh, if this comes back I will play it all the time!" or "That would be awesome! I used to play it every time I got on, we should get this back!". The problem is that people "talk the talk" but then they don't "walk the walk".

As much as I'd love to believe people are going to play it and support it, it just doesn't work since the track record is so consistently bad over the past few years. I'll leave this open for more discussion, but it looks bleak at best for it.

How's that 4th ZombieMod/Escape server \@\MembersNoLongerHere ?
How's that 2nd Highschool Server \@\MembersNoLongerHere ?
How's that 3rd Office Server \@\MembersNoLongerHere ?
How's that 3rd Italy Server \@\MembersNoLongerHere ?
How's that 3rd or 4th Rotation Server \@\MembersNoLongerHere ?
How's that LMS Server \@\MembersNoLongerHere ?
How's that Executes Server \@\MembersNoLongerHere ?

There's a pattern, people want servers then they won't play on them... I get its nice to have available at a whim, but that doesn't mean we need a server for a small or non-existent subset of players that think it would be nice to have to play when they feel like it.

I notice that even now our minigame, surf, and bunny hop servers could use more attention. (Surf was lit the other day with like 22 people in it) For what it's worth, I would say we keep it to one server only on Source, and Dust2 seems to be full more often than not. Adding a rotation might be fun, but I remember back in the day that unfortunately our fun servers would die off early.....I loved High School/Italy/ZE. I specifically remember playing High School with 2 or 3 other clan mates and it was.......dead
