The servers been more than half full everytime I’ve looked at it over the past week. It’s also summer and things are always slow during this time of year.
In my experience, the summer is when it should pick up..during the school year everyone is busy..with school and whatnot. Summer time is when you work, relax and play CS or whatever you wanna do with your spare time. App was always full during the summer.
Yeah i’ve noticed this too and to be honest i don’t really play here much anymore. My ping to wcu has skyrocketed for some reason and the registry is quite a factor, especially after finding the most rediculously good registering server ever. I swear it’s better than lan haha.
um from what i’ve seen with WCU ppl tend to play more during the school year because at least for me im more busy in the summer than the school year. i mean if this is continuing into the fall then maybe 1.6 IS dying, but i doubts
i just think we need to work on improving the registry so i can get more kills
then people will come back

Registry hasn’t improved from the format? It definitely has in CSS.well i went to play this afternoon… and when i was lining up on an afk HS were reg-ing as left arms… o.O
i mean its prob my ping as im on a bad wifi connection… but yea
For the last 2-3 summers, WCU’s server tends to fill up more often in the school year than the summer. The summer has always been slow.

When does that pile of crap known as the HL1 engine NOT hit the left arm?

This is why I didn’t have much fun with 1.6 at the LAN events. Even with a 0 ping and a gigabit connection to the server, headshots still count and wtf ever the game feels like.
Chances are if they are AFK, they are tabbed out of CS. And when you are tabbed out, it REALLY REALLY *edited*s up the hit boxes. Just saying..
The last 2yrs or so that ive been playing its easier to play during the school year and have a quick time to rela and play the game. As ppl already said summer is full of loooooooooooooose with work and what nots. The rotation on maps sometimes doesnt help but otherwise WCU is WCU. As for reg….it sucks balls….its not that bad but it really isnt great.
The problem with the server is the new rotation. the new rotation was chosen by players that play css more than cs.
I have also noticed the server not being as pop as it has been in the past. one point (~2years ago) in time we were ranked 10’th globally for about 2weeks. what we did to do that i have no idea.
I attached a screenshot of a graph showing how the server has been doing. Within the past 6months the average numbers of players have been droping month by month. Definitely something needs to be done b4 this number is droped anylower. Also our the server ranking over the past year has slowly been getting worst. not good. Just pointing out, as it may be dew to the summer.. its not dew to the summer, and something should change. What IDK, as i dont really play much 1.6 myself.
What redirects do we have up?
Also, as far as the map issue, its not hard to see their is no perfect rotation everyone is happy with. time and time again, over the past 4 years maps have alsways been an issue with running the servers. If the 1.6 community can colectively agree on a map cycle, yeah we will toss it up. but the simple fact is someone will alsways have a dfferent idea to tweek it and every week after tnew ideas keep comng… this has been taken place since the beginning of WCUgaming before CS:S was even out…. just tossing that out their.

I can’t really play when I’m home, and I’ve joined a few times when I could, but I’m still somewhat reluctant to play the new rotation. I’d prefer to play the previous rotation or herbal’s.

…maybe people should switch over to csSNeg.
I’ve noticed that a lot of people end up leaving when maps like prodigy, piranesi, upc, etc type maps come up. I think we should stick to playing the key official maps and have fun maps. This would lead to a small rotation, obviously, but if you cut out the crap we play now, it would be better I think.
Something like this (brackets are map times, obviously):
awp_map (15 minutes until we can get a spawn killing plugin)
de_inferno (25)
de_nuke (25)
scoutzknivez (25)
de_aztec (25)
de_cbble (25)
fy_snow (25 minutes, definitely deserves more time as it keeps the server full)
de_dust2 (25)
awp_dust (25)

Did we have complaints about snow being too long or was that scoutz?
I think taking away freezetime helps with the spawn killing, and Liam fixed this a couple weeks ago. Setting freezetime to 0 allows you to start moving as soon as the round starts. imo, if you don’t start running and you get shot, it’s your fault.

Taking away freezetime definitely will help, but you can still get killed pretty easily..
ive noticed lately, pings on the server seem to rocket up to 100+ for some reason. there has also been “alot” of downtime for the server. some of the maps on the rotation need to be removed and replaced with FUN(custom) maps. and by custom maps i mean maps like fy_snow fy_iceworld cs_mice_final etc.. HALF regular maps HALF custom maps = a fuller server.

HALF regular maps HALF custom maps = a fuller server.Wow! So you mean you don’t read the forums where we posted that we were taking the server down to format the box it was on? Okay.
Since I can only post one map in the other thread, this is my idea for a map rotation. All the maps are 25-30 minutes except for 35 hp which is 15. Some people will argue 25 is too long for certain custom maps, and say 25 is good for others. But that’s because you prefer one map over the other and aren’t thinking of other people who may like the map. This rotation has most, if not all the official maps that people want to play, and imo the best/funnest custom maps. Maps like prodigy (although I love it), piranesi, assault maps, etc shouldn’t be in the rotation. Well, maybe the original assault because you can easily get more people with it. So many pubbers play that map. But its far too small for a 32 slot server.
