I am open to new server ideas and suggestions. Anything you all like to see changed? Server is setup and configured well, and tron can load support a full server just need people to play.
I was thinking maybe a monthly rotation of 24/7 maps
July 24/7 2Fort
Aug: 24/7 Dustbowl
Sep: 24/7 Pipeline
Oct: 24/7 …….
the thing is, pipeline is a very TEAM oriented map, and face it, most people cannot play as a team. ctf maps and come of the bigger cp maps while team based there is a lot more freedom to *edited* around and do random stuff. you can go blah blah blah about all the teamwork to play any map, or how its TEAMfortress2 but the fact is people would prefer to snipe all day and not help, or be the retard medic that doesnt ever uber and you cant play as a team that way.
i really like the idea of month 24/7…. because then we could hold votes and such to choose what the next month is and things like that. the only problem is that you need at least 6-8 people in the server for someone to join so we would need a lot of idlers.
Not Debbie Downing your idea but all the servers I have tried out other than ours that are successful have been rotation servers, with like all the maps you mentioned above but on a rotation.

We had that setup before and it wasn’t successful (only diff was we had a rotation instead of mapvoting). Once we moved to 24/7 pipeline it was booming but then after we failed to update our server soon after the next update was released and then the gaming.wcu.edu forward went down, we lost everyone.
A perfect example. An update was just released early yesterday and the server still hasn’t been updated. Therefore, no one has been able to play on the server until its updated…as stated previously this is the main reason we lost our population. Something needs to be done to allow the CL/execs to update the server manually at will.

And policy does not allow for RDP. I thought MP set it up so it updated at 5 every morning. Which is the only way around the issue that iv been told.

If there’s an update mid-day the CL needs to let me know so I can manually update it.
*edited* these updates!
Anyway we could jsut have it update the second an update comes out? I mean yea the server would kick everyone off, but wouldn’t it be better so that more people can always join?

The server can’t detect when an update is released. The dedicated servers don’t use Steam so when updates are pushed out to the rest of us the servers don’t know it.

, I just know that when I was on people complained about it ALWAYS being pipeline, now if it were a rotation that included pipeline then maybe we would have a solution.Can we setup a TF2 night or something. I really want to play again but I hate playing on random servers.
