Hey, I was thinking that is LZ going to make Slender fortress server? That gamemode is amazing but there is only few servers. It would be great if LZ could make one. And also The Hidden. Tell me what you think.
Yeah, i would Totally love! to see a hidden server in lethal zone, is a really nice gamemode. but what slender fortress is i dont know, ill check it. But im sure its awsome, Every costum gamemode is awsome, just too like "team fortress 2 x10 (every items stats are multiplied by 10)" or a special server, where ALLWAYS are events, means 1 round is Meele only, next one is Heavy only, next round is Swimming round (everyone "swimms" in the map, means can also go To the sky, without taking drowndmg) That would be awsome too but i would first see the Hidden gamemode

There isn't a terrible lot of reasons speaking against it. If you want such a server we would appreciate if you gather information and actual playtime on the servers and sum it up so we can see what we can do about it. Generally though, we are all for it, if players want it. (Deathrun for instance died.)
Slender Fortress is good in some aspects but not that great. Team is looking for 8 pages, while slenderman tries to kill them. You have flashlight and blink meters. Your objective is obvious: Find 8 pages. Maps are usually dark and in form of maze. When you die, you are respawned as member of the other team in separated area. You wait there for another round. Not bad mod but I would say it gets boring after a short while.
All 3servers are quite full at 8am until 2am... I would rather compare it with prophunt or dodgeball Edit: Just checked and we got 9MvM servers. 7of them are not used at all so why are they still there?
It's my opinion that I find VSH quite boring after a short while. Most of the players are little kids, so that's also why I don't really like VSH. And ask snelvuur about server related stuff, that is not my business. I'm just the Head Trade Admin of LZ.
Server capacity is not the problem, we can easily host more servers. With MVM, it's simply replicating one server and changing the name so isn't that much effort. It's just when it comes to making a new modded server with plugins that need installing, constantly updated etc, then it turns out no one actually plays on it. It can be built, but we want people to actually play on it.
It's easy to have a lot of MvM servers because they only support 6 persons, and they're use is much like the L4D servers periodically. I don't think any of the servers never gets used. They get used occasionally. We want to support the TF2 community by making sure that there are always enough MvM servers.
You are right on that point, but 10-15year old´s are everywhere (just watched a youtube video where little kid´s raged while playing CoD). They mostly play shooters to be cool in their classes "OMG I just played the new CoD part!!!!" Well, can only say that for german kid´s, dunno if russians and all others do have that parents who don´t care about their children. I played almost 1,5k hours vsh and I have to agree on that, too. You get raged or killed right at the beginning and have nothing to do for these 10mins..
@ KIllvion: They arn't threaded like L4D, but yeah they have the same purpose of being used by quick play. @ Snobgoblin: At the end of the day, if we get the demand then we'll make the servers. Doesn't matter if it's full of 10 year olds, they are popular servers and will attract attention to the community.
slender fortress would get bored in no time.. randomizer might be nice to replace AM2.. but i also want to perhaps make a server with RTD in it.
Trade server has the RTD part covered. Doesnt it? I prefer having Randomizer as Arena. Once you go through most of the loadouts it gets boring. But with arena it keeps it somewhat fresh and new. Like VSH.
I came with the RTD(Roll the dice) plugin, because it's very nice to have on a trade server. I have no clue if it works out for a normal server for example. Their is an option to give donators a higher chance on good rolls.
Freeze Tag A pretty new mod (30/12/2012) which will result in a handful of bugs, but since the Arena server is currently a little bit too inactive. I'd say its worth giving it at least a test run. If not I'd go with the 10x stats, no rankings since its going to be there purely for fun (and alot of imbalance in weapons will make it very unfair in most cases).
