As I've mentioned on the server before, and it seemed to have gotten good feedback from it, Ego has a unique opportunity to capitalize on the lack of GOOD DM server. Especially a US-based server. With the closure of awpclan, a couple of abandoned DM servers have captured the homeless DM players, but not because they have a good server, but because it's all we've got. I would suggest turning this server into a 32-40 slot FFA DM server. Though, since we're talking FFA, we would need to add a plugin and readjust spawn points, as well as an AFK manager that would move you to spec after 2 mins of inactivity and only start kicking people once the server reaches 80% capacity. If this goes forward and you need help/feedback to set it up, let me know.

This is a great idea, managers can we look into implementing this? You hear this kind of talk from newer people in our servers all the time and I think, like Luaa says, it's going to be filling a void that I think we have been missing for awhile in the CS space
 
  • In my view, the first point would be a good opportunity to recruit new players from inactive servers. However, the second point—reducing the slot count to 40—would effectively kill the server. Otherwise, it seems like a good idea. Thanks, and congratulations on the post, LUA!

you must be confusing this with regular D2 server because the current Office server is 32 slots. If anything, we'd be expanding it, but for a DM server, you don't want too many players due to the amount of power a DM server requires compared to a regular map server.

Você deve estar confundindo isso com um servidor D2 normal, porque o servidor Office atual tem 32 slots. Se fosse o caso, estaríamos expandindo-o, mas para um servidor DM, não é recomendável ter muitos jogadores devido à quantidade de poder computacional que um servidor DM exige em comparação com um servidor de mapa normal.

Não houve confusão; é que você não mencionou o mapa do escritório. Tudo bem, Lua. Desculpe por isso, mas é uma boa ideia. Desejo-lhe sucesso!
 
There was no confusion; it’s just that you didn’t mention the office map. That’s fine, Lua. Sorry about that, but it’s a good idea. I wish you success!

The server would become Dust2 only. No need to apologize, we're just discussing the possibilities ;)

I like this idea. Yeah... afk is very annoying. We need something for this.

+1 from me, I'd actually play this. Since awpclan closed, US DM options have been rough, and the people who'd play there are exactly the ones who'd end up trying other EGO servers.

A few things from playing on the bigger DM servers back in the day:
  • Dust2 FFA spawns need the most work around outside long and CT mid. With default spawns you get people spawning in each other's line of sight all the time.
  • A !guns menu that remembers your loadout, plus maybe a headshot-only or pistol-only night once a week, gives regulars a reason to come back.
  • On slots I'd lean toward 24-28 on Dust2 rather than 32-40. Above that it turns into spawn-and-die, and it's less load on the box like BH0P said.
  • Check if the plugin lets you trim the kill feed and round sounds, FFA gets spammy fast.

Happy to hop on and help test spawns if it goes ahead.

Here’s a suggestion: there’s a plugin that targets players who remain stationary ("camping") for more than 10 or 20 seconds—if they do, they die automatically. This would apply to both CTs and Terrorists, and it would make for better gameplay.

and apparently put an end to campers, while also achieving better, higher-quality gameplay performance
