One of the things I noticed is that Arena and Toyfort are NEVER on at the same time. I believe they are different servers because when Arena was released, it kept going shutting down and going on continuously and so did Toyfort however I never saw them on at the same time. Now, Arena isn't down as much as it used to be and Toyfort is never on. Maybe they switched Toyfort into arena? Personally I love Toyfort AND Arena equally so I'm just wondering what happened to one of my favourite servers. If a map should be replaced shouldn't it be one of our least active servers - Blackmesa?

Edit: I believe the Toyfort server's IP is 72.233.91.122:27015. Not sure but that was the only server down for me. Arena is 72.232.197.26:27015. Oh and I only have eGO servers in my favs, so I doubt its another clan server.

I think that toyfort got changed in Payload Badwater Basin. Badwater is such a fun map.
 
I hope badwater stays as badwater. It is a greatly balanced map. 5 Sentries can not stop a team from winning, like on goldrush.
 
I haven't tried badwater yet, maybe I'll get to do so sometime. Although I did like toyfort too.
 
i really loved toyfort and wish we still had a toyfort server..but dont get me wrong..badwater is a very fun map as well as thezaw said 5 sentries cannot stop the other team from winning!
 
We didn't have the highest Toyfort. When Darkness Falls has a higher one (#12 currently). Ours was steadily climbing though. When we first got it, it was like in the 400s, but prior to the Heavy update it had gotten up into the 60s. But, I think at the time that some of the servers were switched to the newer maps, it was still one of our lowest ranking servers.

I answered my question.

Toyfort which was changed into arena is now a 2nd Badwater. Don't know why our least active server, Blackmesa remains untouched while Toyfort and Arena are changed. So now we have no Toyfort OR Arena. We did have the highest ranked arena server in TF2 and I believe Toyfort as well.

It has been stated by the ComMgrs that Blackmesa wont be going anywhere. It was a map made by a member of this community and we are showing support for it. Also it has started doing better since Dragonhill started making more revisions of it lately. I think it will become more popular...also Toyfort was changed to Arena because it was being the last to get filled(even after BlackMesa) and emptying out the soonest. Arena was changed because even though it was probably the highest ranked arena servers in TF2, it was artificially inflated due to being the rank that ToyFort had gotten to, and had since steadily dropped in rank...though I do believe some was due to the server crashing alot shortly after the update.
 
Yea, I love Blackmesa, Probably one of my favorite maps if it isn't my favorite. I honestly didn't care for Toyfort Either, Could get laggy It's not symmetrical so One team gets an advantage over the other. Don't get me wrong Toyfort is a great map but Blackmesa should not be booted off of our list just because people want Toyfort back, Blackmesa is an amazing map made by a member of our clan. If some mayhem causes us to only have 1 server then I'd like that server to be Blackmesa. Hopefully it stays with us as long as possible, can't wait to see Dragonhill's next work of art.

Thanks for clearing that up for me :) Btw, this wasnt a "I miss <map> thread". Just wondering wat happened to the server.

Edit: Also, are there any chances of Arena coming back? Or are we going to have 2 Badwaters from now on?
