The Current state of the servers
#54

I Play on this server for at least the 3 last year, encounter a lot of STEAM friends, that now i play many others games. I wish this could continue.

A more present admins (more than one) would likely improve the server life. Not only for discpline the undisciplined players, but also to see how we can improve the server dynamic.

Better maps choice would likely help. We dont need to put hundread of new maps, but we could have some maps on trial for maybe a month, then find a way to people to vote for the maps they would like on servers as a regular map. This would help to add new maps and make users decide wiche one they prefere. The voting systems should be improved. I know there some servers with a better voting system, as there a vote for a list of map then it go by tours, until the maps is decided. It take no more than 5 min for this. the choice then is not limited to 2 maps, AND prevent to have the same maps order all the time. I can almost know what map will be at what time!

There plenty of map that should be considered but i will not make a list here, there already lot of people on that forum topic that did it. I could suggest however to have a flavor of the month type event. Once a month a specific map would be added to the server if there enough map. I remeber TFC there was Xmas map version etc. There was plenty of map on TFC, i would think that by now there plenty of map fro TF2 since 2007. We could look for TFC classic map, made for TF2 and see of people like them. The thing is not only that some map could sux, it is also that some map are overplayed.


There 4 servers that i know for now, 2 are 24/7 2Fort/Goldrush, and 2 various map server. the #1 is the one most of us play, when it is not empty. #2 is almost always empty and i dont see why it is not shut down. For obscure reason, the 24/7 servers have always people in it, and using my slot, i can enter at any time (this server is even full at 0800AM in week end time). I could suggest to merge the Goldrush and 2 fort 24/7 in one server, alternating the maps. this would let the server 1, as the #2 could be closed (serioulsy i never saw that server with players in it in the last 2 year) this would let others non community player join the #1 server and help to fill it.


Slot. for me the good side of the slot is once i am the server, i cant be kicked out. That actually the main reason why i bought one 3 year ago. 16 slot used and you still have to lineup. If there reducing OR completely cancel those slot would help to fill server? i am not sure due to the fact that even when we are not in, there no player in it (non slot players). Actually Enforcer and few other, including me are the one filling the server in evening time (North America East coast time) then once it is full, it is for a few hours. So for the Slot i dont know what would be the best option, but for sure, at this point it would not change the fact that server is empty 80% of the time.

Another thing we should look, is what make some TF2 server successfull: their maps, their options, voting system, and others stuff that improve people to play in it.

I have observed a tendency in the last few years, and not directly related to the server issue, but as an overall PC internet gaming behaviours. I remeber back when game where complex and hard to complete, we were happy to see a cutscene and we were rushing to complete the game. Today most game are made to be easy and with minimum of effort. TF2 seem to go that way too. That crates fest make me perplex how this game is going. Are we going soo lazy as a society than even in virtual world we have to have it soo easy? There also the drama issue, and this is not only in our server but in my connexe L4D community (and former TF2). Talking to people, there seem this is now the norm, even in WoW.... It is a matter of time before there are a reality TV show on this.

There was my 2 cent. I wish this community continue, but whatever happen, the good point is that Steam friend is there to keep contact with all of you.
