Map Rotation

Biz I think the quotes you pulled on me are definitely relevant, but that second quote was taken during a time when our server was empty, almost always. It would take HOURS to fill the server and would seemingly empty out at random. As it is now, the server reaches capacity a lot more quickly and remains maxed out for much longer periods of time. The last time the server reached a rank this high, and we fiddled with the map rotation, it quickly descended in rank and was once again empty all the time. That's when I decided to put things back to vanilla.

No one else seeds the server like I do. So when it ranks up, everyone is more than happy to play there, because it's always full when they come around. But when it ranks poorly, and is not full, and it takes forever to get going, and when it finally gets up to 8 players after 2 hours and they all leave because someone capped all the flags and the map ends, then most of you go play on other servers because no one feels like seeding it (like that run on sentence?).

Even just over the past 4-5 days that I haven't been playing the server has slipped back almost 40 spots. It's because I'm not kick starting the server early in the day. So I guess I'm just trying to explain why I seem a bit more reluctant this time around. And that's not because it's not double xp anymore, that effects all servers, not just ours.

I've seen this all before. We get the server running nice, we get a little reputation, we see some new interest in NNG, then we tinker with the formula. Why fix it if it aint broke? I think we can see that our server has success in the niche that it fills. 1000 ticket, large maps, full vehicular warfare on vanilla maps.

We always have the CQ server, which has been a lot of fun. And then there are always other public servers that can be played on. And I don't see a problem with playing on other servers from time to time.

I'm going to be a stinker and put up a fight on this one. Compel me otherwise. =-COFEE

 

I like Noshahr. Karkand is good too. Tehran, Seine, and Bazaar. Also, Hello.

 

I took Oman off. The server should be fucking full right now, but it's not, because for some reason the god damn B2K maps fuck up the server filtering. Fuck. I'll leave Noshahr though. =-COFEE

 

Now I see why you didn't want Noshahr on. Theres a guy in the C-RAM firing into the docks keeping people from capping it.

 

I'm not a member, however my suggestion would be to have Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm and Kharg Island run every cycle with the fourth map being Tehran Highway, Damavand Peak and Noshahr Canals. (Avoid Seine Crossing and Operation Metro like the plague. Grand Bazaar maybe too small for 48/48).

1nd Cycle: Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm, Kharg Island and Tehran Highway
2rd Cycle: Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm, Kharg Island and Damavand Peak
3th Cycle: Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm, Kharg Island and Noshahr Canals

This would break up the monotony of playing just 3 maps all the time and would keep the big-favored maps running more often.
