I don't know if this is a result from the servers getting hacked, but the last days whenever i wanted to enjoy a good game (like right now) on one of the all maps servers they're completely empty. Is there anything wrong with them on LZs end? I mean the Dustbowl server seems to be getting filled, but one can only play that much dustbowl before it gets boring. So, people GET YOUR ASSES ON THE ALL MAPS SERVERS I don't want to have to play on other servers :/
Maybe its to do with the maps, like starting up on goldrush. Do people actually LOVE that map anymore? SInce it used to be the main one.
the starting map is dustbowl, and yes they do love that map. It used to be like that for... forever! now, we didnt change anything since, and all of a sudden it doesnt fill anymore. What could be is that the server is not in the quickplay queue anymore though.
I tried filling it a couple of times since some days. Invited friends (90% ignore the invite...), afk in spectator when I was busy etc. Problem is, nobody wants to join an empty server and wait there for more people. This is why we need a couple of volunteers (5-6 players) willing to join the empty server (which is actually an admins job). The server starts to fill itself magically with 6 players. I know a lof of regulars are online and check the server for players so dont play innocent on me ;D
Heya, just wanted to give my comment on this, too. So basically I can say some words to "servers with no players". Dustbowl 24/7, All Maps: You have to see that the dustbowl and all maps server start filling from about 17:00MET This is ( most of you will know the reason) because there is still a thing called "Real Life" ( I actually have no idea what this is, just copied it from an old thread somewhere <.< ). So yeah: Children have to come back from school, do their homework(or not) and adults come back from work. It is very sad that there are no real games with 10players before that time, but well you have to earn the money for the bill that makes your computer come alive :lol: Also Japtor you can´t force all admins to come online and start filling the server when they want to make something different( e.g. playing on a different server, another game [mode] ^^). The dustbowl maps mostly get filled by "newbies" and a hand full of regs (mostly born to lag, asbak and some others). I normally prefere to play on AM1, because as you said, Judge the amount of different maps make it and dustbowl (almost 200in game hours here) is getting quiet boring if the entire team just uses places you know (dustbowl stage 3 in front of blue spawn house, in the house or in the hallway from the red spawn, around the corner). Also AM has much more experienced players than dustbowl ( I don´t have any idea why, but a lot of not so good players ragequit after like 5minutes). Judge, you can ignore AM2 and AM3 ( if it still exists?) because somehow nobody plays on it even if all other servers are full (all other servers: AM1, Dustbowl 1,Dustbowl 2). I think Goldrush is a wanted map by regs, but dustbowl is much more wanted by "newbies". Thanks for your time and greetings, Snob
I know, theres a real life. I have to pay bills myself by working 40h a week, but usually the servers were full when i went online. For the last 2 years or smth at least ^^. But lately they weren't anymore. I was just wondering if theres a special reason for it. But i guess the interest pf players (maybe CS:GO ?) at the moment is not that great. I guess it will change again with time. For now, im happy it filled today. Thanks guys, especially the admins. Great job.
Im not forcing anyone ... Just saying that we need people to join the (almost) empty server. Since we have some admins for AM1 it would be appreciated if they go afk in spec at least. If they cant come its completely okay. Anyway nice job today guys, lets keep it that way
The rate with which the servers fill always changes. Some weeks are better than others. Give it a week whilest actively trying to fill the servers and we'll be good. All Maps 2 needs a lot of love these days. So please, when you want to join a server, go for AM 2 even when it's empty.
I noticed the same with VSH servers,in the morning till 2pm-3pm (most of the times) its empty,but sometimes theres a day when theres even in the morning at like 9-10am 8~ people online,which gets me a smile in my face everyime But yeah thats normal... its better on weekend's though for the reasons listed below from snob,most of us have to go work/school/ other stuff... Back to topic to the AllMapsServer, i never tried it,but i'll give it a chance though as i really enjoy dustbowl 8) -donald
You should go for dustbowl first. I noticed that too much vsh lowers your (my) "skill" in AM. Second reason is, that as I said above on dustbowl 24/7 most players are "newbies". If you play in a AM1 map about 5pm it might get harder to get kills
