Re: Shattered Planet server changes

Not a big fan at all, considering his is supposed to be our main server.

I'm an admin for the server, yet limiting it to 3 maps just really irks me. I don't think I'll be playing on it too much.

Why only 3?

Three classic maps, as an alternative to having to wait several rounds for a map you like.

I think it's a nice alternative, to be honest.

So if my favorite maps arent included in those three maps, where am I supposed to play then? Oh yes, I just must suck it up and play the maps like a good lad I am. Gotcha.

I dont care if my favorite maps wouldnt be in the rotation, but dear hamsters theres plenty of good maps to choose from. Dont really fancy the idea of having to go through the same 3 maps over and over.

If you haven't noticed it's been empty for a little while now. Also this is just a test anyway, if it doesn't work out fine we'll switch back. Right now there's only one populated server and that's Rogue Tribe. So if there's not room for another server right now to be populate, we'll just close it down and move on to another game.

Right now having a server sit empty while we struggle for donations is not the best way to go.

I agree m8, and I've been away for about two weeks on a trip in Florida,so I have little say (If at all, since I've not donated)

However, throwing the same three maps into the rotation is probably not the best way to get more players. I'm not really sure why everyone switched to rogue tribe over Shattered, but First Strike is really hurting for a stable playerbase anyway.

Re: Shattered Planet server changes

If you'd make a only ground maps server, i'm sure it will have succes tongue I'm not really a fan of space, unless its escape from hoth or imperial convoy raid or something.

Re: Shattered Planet server changes

When there is a second server running now that's US it's always wolfgaming.  There is room for a second server but most of us only like shattered planet.  When the server switches to be 3/12ths of the mod you could expect a lower population on that server and in the mod itself.

Re: Shattered Planet server changes

We were saying this on IRC earlier.

Renaming the server to fsmod.com (with maybe a "Supported by Shattered Planet"), would increase the population just as people would want to visit the "official" server.
