nothing will work unless players dedicate time to sit on servers and wait for people to join. I spent months sitting on our RX server before it got popular. also helped that the other servers sucked lol

possibly rj, but still should give it a shot and see what happens. You can always shut it down later. However if u do feel strongly like this i can tell u most sniper servers use the fake bots mod to get players into the server, thats an option. Generally seen as a dick move, but now a days its like a necessity for sniper servers from what i can tell.

well im not in vm so im not ganna go posting a poll about what u should do with ur servers :D. But the next vm member to see this post should make a poll asking what to do with their siege server with the following options (i hope im not forgetting any option):

which of the following gametypes should we turn the vm siege server into? (if u can find a better way to phrase, feel free to do so :D )

Instagib ctf
Combogib ctf
Low gravity sniper arena ctf
high gravity sniper arena ctf
boming run
Camper Sniper dm

Firstly,
I would really like to see a RX bombing run server. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to be the only one voting for it. I'm not really sure how popular that would be at first. But I know from SLV days it was A LOT of fun. So maybe I'll go back to setting up my own local server to host a RX BR server. But so far I haven't got it to work without odd glitches that I believe are server related and not game type related but I need further testing.

Secondly,
To really make a proper judgement on the next server, we have to first ask the right questions.

Point 1) What are the goals of a new server? E.g. Who is the target audience? (not an exhaustive list.)

Point 2) What are the benefits and draw backs to each game type listed towards these stated goals? E.g. Is it likely the target audience will enjoy the game type? (not an exhaustive list.)

Point 3) What is the criteria to consider the server a "successful server"? E.g. Will there be a certain # of people in the server? How long should the server be up while "we" check it against our "successful server" criteria? What are the objectives to reach to consider it a success? Will "we" try a 2nd game type if the first server idea fails? (not an exhaustive list.)

Point 4) What other considerations do "we" have?

Thirdly and lastly,
Once we have the questions and answers we vote with those considerations in mind.

^ I like the way this guy thinks.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

It is a lot of work for RocketJedi to take on, given the fact that he does have a newborn.

We pretty much already have an IG server - it is Server #1 - the last column in mapvote.

I would like to see mostly *all* of the ideas that everyone is coming up with implemented. The more variety we have, the more interesting the server would be; But this also comes with MANY more headaches.

Headaches that RJ, Mar and Kevster do not need. (hope I didn't leave any developers out)

I reached out to FeraliDragon aka XXX a few years ago about his design and porting of the vehicle mods from 2004 < 1999. Unfortunately, he "got bored" with the Unreal Engine's limitations. I believe he may be involved with the newest rendition of UEngine. (I am not entirely sure) - That dude has contributed sooooo much to the community at large that I would love to see him spark his interest back up, but.....

.......which leaves me with a final question : Shall we dive into the latest UT head first and see where we can swim to ? When I was in the {dFb} clan, we were starting to show interest for the latest and greatest, but it fizzled out, 'cause so many of us are getting so friggin' old... work... kids.... real life, etc.

Just a thought.

Anyone really.

Point 2) What are the benefits and draw backs to each game type listed towards these stated goals? E.g. Is it likely the target audience will enjoy the game type? (not an exhaustive list.)

The only drawback is time taken to make said server/s benefits would = more clan exposure more donations which = more expansion

Point 3) What is the criteria to consider the server a "successful server"? E.g. Will there be a certain # of people in the server? How long should the server be up while "we" check it against our "successful server" criteria? What are the objectives to reach to consider it a success? Will "we" try a 2nd game type if the first server idea fails? (not an exhaustive list.)

Success = regular players that come back daily or semi daily. Contribute their thoughts on the forums

Point 4) What other considerations do "we" have?

I can get this done while at work. The dust has settled, and I can dedicate time to server creation. I can also create a completely new server. SO we can get rid of siege put whatever there .. I can make another server for BR or whatever.. we don't have a limit guys. out of all the servers we have only RX and MH really get used so there is plenty of room for other game types and servers.

Thirdly and lastly,
Once we have the questions and answers we vote with those considerations in mind.
sorry fro the red highlight quote it looked better than yellow did lol
