Segal 59 Posted September 24, 2018 I honestly think we don't need a new server. Would anyone ever even play on it? We have Freak Fortress 2, Zombie Fortress, Jailbreak, and Uber Upgrades. Those servers are hardly ever played. Back when we had MGE, hardly anyone used it. I just think it is a waste of money and is completely unnecessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tree_ 4 Posted September 24, 2018 I would personally love an mge server. It would make 1v1 my noobie friends a lot easier since we could just by like hey join mge instead of something complicated such as hey join my server or lemme invite you. Honestly though I would still be happy with a jump server 1 -Diphikult reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dannypicacho 273 Posted September 24, 2018 Add jump and I will actually get on the TF2 servers, and by "servers" I mean that jump one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The server being replaced is Highlander, which has been sitting empty and password protected for literal years, Since we pay hosting fees anyway, public, usable and empty is better than private, unusable and empty.

Then we have an empty server under a new name. If the payment for the server is an issue then could it not just be expunged as opposed to having more unused servers to spread out an already limited population? Setting up an entire server for a single purpose should take a note worthy desire for it but also the bodies to back it up, something that has been lacking in consistency with our more niche servers for the last year and a half. 1 Segal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatost 604 Posted September 26, 2018 MGE servers rarely receive player traffic, and those who do come on don't keep coming back. 1 -Diphikult reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABlueSkittle123 85 Posted September 26, 2018 I would be ecstatic to see a jump server, you would find me there almost every day, unfortunately for me, mge is beating it but that would also be nice to have. If two people are wanting to mge in any server you could just link them to another xG server which would be a mge server. If only we could have both, a jump and mge, I just suck at surf so that one is out of the question for me. 1 cook reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krampus 42 Posted September 26, 2018 To be honest I don't see much of a need for a new server considering we have to do population events already for our extra servers and now we are adding a new one, but still if I had to choose between the modes I would probably pick between the jump server and especially the mge server as I said in the previous thread since even though they wouldn't really hold population like other servers they would at least get people to come on a decent amount like other servers with these modes as people join randomly all the time to practice and since it doesn't really need to be populated like normal servers as they can be played solo or two players without harm really. Which I know that skill surf can be populated by yourself but I still just think that it wouldn't see any traction after the first few weeks as only a certain amount of people enjoy strictly surfing and since a lot of people prefer the leniency of our combat surf server with being able to both surf normally and combat if they want to while having people to talk to on the server which is what keeps a lot of people on there.

We're just changing the server that we don't ever use, not creating an entirely new server. I doubt it's going to get much traffic at all if I'm 100% honest but it would be cool to have some kind of new gamemode that's hosted by xG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDNight 25 Posted September 27, 2018 I feel like MGE is the most reasonable way to go. While a skill surf server would be nice, it's going to split the group of people who go on surf. With MGE, it gives people who want to duel an easily accessible place to do, and could also help cut down the amount of complaints about trying to duel on other servers like TGH. 1 -Diphikult reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said earlier, MGE makes literally no sense at all. Every single fucking MGE server is the same, there's literally nothing keeping people on the server. Usually, communities will only pay for servers that actually benefit them, or will at some point in the future. People can do MGE literally anywhere they want. MGE is probably the worst possible route available, it's actually just a waste of money. 0 individuality + 0 people being attracted to our community = good choice, I guess. *not to mention people saying "MGE me" isn't literally every ten minutes. They usually only stick around for 1-2 games and then, what do you know, the server will die again.

If lacking a substantial amount of people on the server was reason to not have one running then a good number of ours would be put down. If anything the fact that people will just wander in and out of any mge server actually could work in it's favor in comparison to the other options. All three are niche (or a niche inside of a niche for skill surf) but when it comes to jump and skill surf people are going to be more inclined to find an established and populated server which makes it much more important for those ones to have a lot of support backing them to reach that level of appeal. Since they are both currently getting less support by the community then mge, which numerically isn't getting an incredible amount of support itself, that's not very likely to happen. At that rate it's probably better to go with a server that even if it isn't going to help the community grow people that have shown interest can still get some use out of and will likely have more random players passing by then another dead server that didn't have a sustainable population to deal with competition. Of course a lot of these issues could be ignored entirely by running any and all or these through the gamemode rotation server while actually having a chance at improving that server along the way. 1 Aegean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
