Different way of populating tf2

[Adam Faulkner]

Hey guys,

 

Well as you guys know its hard to populate a server without help. Lets look at other ways of populating the server.

 

I found a interesting thread here. http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=612771

 

so i looked up the server ..http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/72.232.2.22:27015/

 

It seems like there is a way to populate the server and trick them into joining. They seem to get traffic off of it also. However hlsw will not tell me what plugin they are using.

 

So i found their site and looked for fake and found someone asking about it.

seems like they are playing stupid about it. cool.

 

here is what i sent him.

 

Hey,

My name is Adam and I am from the WCUGaming club www.wcugaming.org. We attempted to start up a local server for the students on campus, but we are having issues populating it with all the other competitors out there. I was looking through server list of popular gaming club communities and clans to see what they were doing that we arn't. We have a custom admin mod mad for all our server and everything works well, we just dont have the traffic we need to keep up with funding. 

After looking at the 72.232.2.22 server i noticed that the numbers dont match up. I looked in hlsw and it seems that there are 5 fake clients. Even when joining it doesn't match up. Because we are in different markets i thought it wouldn't harm to ask for you to share some secrets or advice with us so that we may become popular with our students on campus.

Thanks,

Adam Faulkner

 

we will see.

Hmm please do, this will make my job much easier

his response .. laf

 

We use a custom/private plugin. It can even do 200/255 if needed. It also handles reserved slots and other more secret things... Naturally I can't give that out, not that I would want to even if I could tongue.gif.

You can try using this public version that a friend of my made: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.ph...4304&page=1

that was courtesy of liam

It’s been at 50/24 for the last few ENTIRE days. No glitches involved.

 

If someone joins the server when it says 12/24 and its completely empty do you honestly expect them to stay or come back? IMO, this sort of trickery does just as much harm as good.
