View Full Version : Change Regular CS Server into a Minigames Server No.2?

Over the last few months the regular conter strike server that we have has been completely dead. It used to be the way to attain the «SG.Reg» Tag, but no one has been able to get this, as the server is allways empty.

However the way to attain the «SG.Reg» tag has changed (New way to become «SG.Reg» tag (http://www.steamgamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11886)), so this server is sitting here with 30 slots being wasted. The average player count over the last month on this server was:

The average player count this week:

The highest amount of players this week on at one time was 8.

As the minigames server is allways full the majority of the times and especially on popular maps. I think we should put all the so called 'popular' maps onto a new 20 slot mini games server. This would allow other players to join the 2nd server when the first one is full and becuase the more popular maps will be on this server, then there shouldnt be much of a problem keeping it full.

This also leaves a spare 10 slots to use on a different server too.

Please choose 'yes' if you would like to see this be changed to minigames #2 or 'no' if you would like to keep the normal CS Server.

I say no. Minigames is fun and all, but every community has to have atleast 1 regular server! If anything, I say make it 24/7 d2 or office.

Just my 2 cents.

I think one minigame server is more than enough, i'd rather see something differnet for a new server. If the reg css server has been empty, we should take it upon ourselves to get it popular again.

Gungame, zombie hell, breakfloor and Napalm are often empty, so we could replace one of those with another minigame server.

i personally hate normal, but no i dont want the normal server to be removed or changed. As said; every community has 1, and also; 1 minigame server is enough. If its full all the time, too bad for you. Get supporter or wait in line

I think we should change it to minigames #2. I do agree, every community should have atleast 1 regular CS:S server, but if we don't use it, what's the point of keeping it?

I probably would like to see it changed, but the thing is, i don't think we could have 2 FULL MG servers, i think 1 is fine. I know haggard will 100% keep reg cs.

Guys we need contribution to the discussion if we are going to make an informed decision about this!

This shouldn't be changed...
People who want sg reg tags NEED that server
Otherwise they'd go elsewhere to get the plinks
keep it as it is...
Voted : NO!
Just my view though

If you would have read through my first post you would of read that there is a NEW WAY to get the SG.Reg tag. You need 100 Napalm kills; hence the regular CS server allways being empty/ wasting slots.

i voted no but after thought just count one of those nos as a yes.

do whatever brings the most people in. personally i love that server, but i personally have noticed how empty its been, it makes me sad, it used to be full nearly 24/7, not sure what happend, but either fix it to get full again, or just change to something that fills up.

Gun Game wont be replaced. We can always get that server full if 3 or 4 regs join it. And we are using it for a comp each month anyway. ZombieHell has been shutdown for weeks now. Maybe even a month. It is now the Trikz server. Napalm will never go anywhere. It was a great server and still can be one. We just need to get the setting back on it like they were. And breakfloor. We people still play on it even though it's fail.

I don't see why we could not do another Mini game server. Or maybe a 2nd Deathrun server. We have two PB servers why not another one of these two. Or maybe just create a server with a fun script on it like lazertag. But let's use the server for something.

Hide and Seek.

We already did that and it lasted maybe 3 days and then no one wanted to play on it.

I just think everyone seems to want to make an effort to keep most of our servers active, except for our reg server, which rarely seems to get any kinda of active effort to fill it anymore. We used to be able to fill it simply by getting a few regs/admins in and putting an event on the steamgroup. I would like to see this return, as its great to have a server full of people we know playing, ratehr than have to go elesewhere to play reg css.

Haggard changed the regular requirements. Instead of regular CS:S, it's in order to get the tag, you have to get 100 kills on napalm.

EDIT: Nevermind..lol..didn't realise Paul had already posted this.

What about giving Escape 1 10 extra slots if it's on the same dedicated? it's the most popular ZE server around, pretty much always full, never empty. Then make a 20 slot second DR/MG.

I think if you added more lsots to escape you'd get performance issues for many players, plus many maps would seem even more overcrowded.

Escape is allready laggy at 40 slots.

In-conclusive.

We will have to try and get people back onto the regular cs server.

Maybe having events that pop up in steam community like we used to do.

now that the climb challenge is cancelled, we could do a reg css competition, or something like that?

I love regular css but I JUST CAN'T PLAY IT!
This is because the SG server is american, why be at a disadvantage and lag when playing when I can just go to an EU based server and play without lag?
As for minigames two, don't, the minigames is more of less full, but if their is two it would spread out the playerbase for minigames and mabye result in less players on each server.

Changing the regular might be a good move...
