I was under the impression choice is not a bad thing. We never have had complaints like this before. So I get the impression we need to spend some money to upgrade our server or pull it, so other servers can fill up.

The fact that most of our clanmembers keep the server rolling and active kills the mod.

How about we have three of our members each go on a different server and try and get those started? As soon as they have we'll play on our own. We'll even play with pistols only not to scare people away. We'll falll on mines cunnily placed in the middle of the road and try and toss back grenades.

Come on get this community game going and hopefully we'll have a abundance of people to play with. I would suggest setting your communications people to work.

Thank you and good night.

Well when your server fills, which I am under the impression that it does often? Players don't want to start another server on their own when they see a full one that they are missing out on, and then they leave if they cannot join soon after.

Oh no, you can't blame RT for players not wanting to start other servers!

It's a load of old rubbish anyway. Tonight there has been a maximum of 8 players on RT and (when I looked) 14 on DS. That's a clear choice of two servers to join, yet the community stayed away in droves...

It's been the same for a couple of weeks now. I don't know exactly why FS isn't a popular as it deserves to be, but it isn't. Coming up with spurious, illogical reasons to blame RT for that situation isn't going to help matters.

I hope you do eventually improve your server because imo, and I don't say this lightly, the way it is setup atm hurts the mod and its community/playerbase.

Agreed.

Seriously, how is our server set-up 'hurting' the mod?

If 24 slots isn't enough for what you have in mind then it'll have to be held elsewhere. Not a problem for me – I merely misunderstood what you meant by 'cap'.

Funny how the passage of a few months rewrites people's memories, isn't it?

RT had a 32-slot server for only a week or so before we realised the server couldn't handle it and went down to 24. I seem to recall it was only 22 before that...

Regardless of the number of slots, RT's First Strike server has been and remains one of, if not the most popular server since 1.2, so we're happy leaving it as is for now. Nowt's bust, so there's nowt to fix.

That said, we do intend upgrading the server as and when we can afford it, so we'll up the slots as much as we can when that time comes.

Yes RT is probably the most played on , tho mainly because the community isnt big enough for 2 decently sized servers and most clan members are RT, who obviously jump on their own server meaning that is the one that gets used.

I hope you do eventually improve your server because imo, and I don't say this lightly, the way it is setup atm hurts the mod and its community/playerbase. This isnt a scathing attack on RT (obviously) , just the nature of the current reality, as I see it.

Anyways, I don't see the hubub about large games. I've never had one enjoyable game where there was more that 30 people. Its too disorganized and chaotic. In a bad way, that is.

Yeah, but what did it run like? It tends to run really laggy for most people with those sort of numbers in there. I reflection on the map , not the quality of the server.

Aye, hopefully those fixes will help in the future

Personally, I had a small but not very noticable increase in lag.  But it effects everyone differently, and I have a fairly decent Rig, and had a very stable connection at the time.
