Release the cap.

What? There is no cap on the number of public players on RT's server. All 24 slots are available – there are none reserved.

Aye, as other have mentioned, Im just talking in general terms. 24 slots wont be enough for arranged (decently advertised) community games. My point about the pub players was that for a community game(esp.) it'd just end up , with a 24 cap, being mostly clan/dev/testers taking up all those slots.

As TY said, 32 minimum imo... tho even that probably wont be enough.


Anyway, I look forward to these games. Battle of Taloraan is always great with nigh on 40 peeps.

Re: The Resurgance of the FS Community Game

I agree.  I appreciate that it takes money and effort to run a server, but the FS community games present an opportunity to have an organized, large-scale battle and those extra player slots make all the difference.

Especially for people who want to jump on later in the day if they are at work when the game begins.

Re: The Resurgance of the FS Community Game

I have to agree that for a Community Game the RT server doesn't currently have enough slots to make it a viable option. the Community Games are all about having massive numbers of players in game to get some epic battles. As good as the scraps can be on our server we just don't have the available volume required for this sort of event.

Re: The Resurgance of the FS Community Game

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.

Re: The Resurgance of the FS Community Game

We can bump the number of slots on our server if you think we need to for a Community Game. It is at 32 right now but just takes a minute to change the slot count and restart it.
