OK, been seeing a lot of grumbling in the forums about the servers being dead. So, I decided to watch for a couple of days. What I've noticed is a lot of people are in other servers instead of our own. That's fine, but don't complain about the servers being dead if you don't make an effort to fill them. For instance, as I'm typing this, there are 17 WDFNEWS members playing TF2, with only 5 in Tempest four. The other servers are empty. Weaksauce.
This community's survival is based solely on the members participation. Please help by making an effort to fill the servers. A lot of times when I don't have long to play, Ill send out a fill tempest server invite. I'll jump in until I have to go, and that usually gets the servers started. Just a suggestion.

I hate it when you're right.....
On an off note, might I recommend a switch in temp 1 and 3 to being identically set-up with custom&fan maps under control of vote? For the time being, the servers have been less filled, and this would (in my most meek of opinions) allow those who are in the servers to continue to enjoy the maps that they want, and not face the restrictions that the one or the other server demands. Perhaps a change back during the free weekend allows new players to play a forced rotation, but during the slower times I think the vote map idea might be helpful.
And I hate it when you're right. Jerk.

24/7 Dustbowl > 24/7 2fort, thats where the money is at!!! I have an =ego= 24/7 dustbowl server in my favorite thats ALWAYS full 24/7 so I hardly actually get into the server to play. Other than that the players on there are very top notch. Majority knows what they're doing and there's a few noobs that learn quickly.

With 4 servers, I do think it would kick ass if one was just Dustbowl and Goldrush

imo, 24/7 single-map servers are pretty grody. I make a conscious effort to *not* join them unless they're really bumping and people I like are on it. To those saying a 24/7 Dustbowl server, how about a 24/7 multi-stage server? Dustbowl, Goldrush, Dustbowl, and some custom favorites. Donkey and I played on a server last night w/ a 2-stage CP that played out very well. cp_mof_a3Safety + Peace

I will NOT play on Tempest #2. I hate 2Fort because of that server. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I agree, if there's gotta be a 24/7 server, I think dustbowl would be an upgrade over 2fort (stupid 2fort). I know that change probably isn't gonna happen, I just thought I'd say I agree with Oopsie, Delta, Saber, etc. :D McCheese wrote:I've always said all women are 2 drinks away from full on lesbian action Lead Salad wrote:I never figured whut for a fairy..wait, yes, yes I did.

considering 1 and 3 tend not to be full at the same time, I'd be tempted to offer my opinion of dumping the one 24/7 dustbowl, goldrush, and maybe one other with vote deciding map.
The other one be a fully loaded official/custom with the map list restricted to some of the more popular maps out there. Or perhaps do this to 4 and leave 3 as is?

The only problem with tempest 2 is that its a frag fest. NO ONE plays the map the way it was meant to be. Once a team scores once or twice, the other team turtles. The only time theres a team that is winning if its a small amount like 7v7, but this amount can easily bring more people in and put into the situation of a frag fest. The other is if the other team is stacked or the other team is just crap with 0 defense and worst offense team.
This is why I suggest we put a class limit to see more variety and to remove huge turtling and sniper battles.
