It was a resource hog.

Possibly, yet it's on FBG & Surf so that cancells out that arguement.

Thomas,

I tried to get them to add this back to Escape, I can tell that Escape1 server is losing popularity because of it (check server charts for proof). The only response I got was that it would make people want to become a zombie (what's wrong with that because at the moment people would rather die than be a zombie..).

As for Zombie Hell, I thought it was fun and maybe some time in the future it will be back.

Maybe, i don't think it was that much of a resource hog, i can't remember, but the script was massive.

Yeah but just because people talked about it and thought it was that doesn't mean it's true. FBG has been running it since day one with no lag, ranks have been on the servers for a long time without any issues. I think it was just a scapegoat for something else.

Point is,

You've seen how surf just got a turbo boost because of ranks, do you want it to do the same to Escape?

I don't know what 'proof' you were looking at (unless you were referring the the past 24 hours chart) but i just checked the server stats on gametracker and popularity is as high as normal.

The thing with zombie hell is, everyone says they love it but that server was pretty much empty all the time. And for ranks, play for fun. Yeah ranks are cool, but it's a lot funner when your not playing for a rank. But like daZe said, it was taken off because people would purposely turn into a zombie to get their ranks up.

The Zombie Hell server itself was very laggy. The lag was due to the bots. They sucked memory and never returned it when they died before respawning. Its a problem with Valve's engine and probably will not be fixed since the engine that CS:S is running is "ancient". As far as ranks, we used to have ranks tied to hlstats, but we have since cancelled our membership with them and I think the general concensus with having mani keep stats is that it won't be very good. If FBG allowed stats on Zombie and Surf mods I'm sure we'd allow that but for the time being they do not allow that to happen.

Having ranks on the escape servers is inevitably going to lead to a bunch of rankwhoring. Escape involves hardly any skill and is just great for a good laugh. Ranks would also promote the idea of having almost the entire CT going on a zombie hunt which would result in 30 second rounds.

Zombie Hell was amazing and I hope there is a way it can be restored, unfortunately it doesn't look like it though...

You obviously don't remember back in the day when the server never use to be empty at night? Now it regularly drops to 0. The proof I was talking about is long gone since the ranks were removed a good 3 months ago but if you checked it when ranks were removed you would have seen the dip in players and popularity.

Yet it's the exact opposite when it comes to someone who doesn't want to be a zombie they would prefer to act AFK. In fact I've seen more 30 second rounds these days then 6 months ago, it's a real shame whichever way you look at it.

Rank on Escape is retarded...there is no point what so ever except interfering with game play and chasing zombies around...especially now that they are low HP...
Hell no!!!!

Zombie hell was fun but hagg said "NO!"

lolpwnt

It's a shame Zombie Hell can't make a return, it used to be such great fun. Does anyone know of any other Zombie Hell servers?

Wait, let me rephrase that, does anyone know of any other good Zombie Hell servers?
