CP maps seems kinda bizarre now that I look at it. What should we do with this server?

Personally speaking, I say that 4 servers is enough for TF2.
That being said, we've got 4 servers up now. Good job, community.

118/192 players on our TF2 network.
25% cpu usage.
Surpassing my hopes and dreams for stress testing so far.

I still haven't heard anyone shoot it down, so I'll mention the idea again. Why not make one of the servers, #4 I guess (but personally I think it'd make more sense to bump 5 and 6 up to 4 and 5 and use the final number for this), into an "experimental" server? We can test maps, mods, or just use it to play around with some wacky stuff we wouldn't normally turn on in the main servers. It could be advertised in the in-game messages, on the forums, etc, with whatever's going on in it at a given time, encouraging people to check it out, and worst case scenario is people don't like an idea so they don't play it. It's better than just tossing an untested custom map onto the "main" custom map server and seeing it empty things out. I've mentioned ideas before, but a couple could include: - Untested maps we might one day include in the other servers
- Untested mods we might one day include in the other servers
- Altered gravity
- Altered play mechanics (all melee, high damage, etc.)
- Party hats
- If we can find it, something like that German censored version with hamburgers and stuff instead of blood and guts

If were to use the screenshot delta supplied as any sort of indicator, I'd say that our 24/7 servers are a solid success. CP and Custom are struggling, and could probably be let go to allow more server space. 4 or 5 servers is probably enough. If we don't know what to do with the CP server, It might be best to just let it go. The custom server should stick around so that we can have our community maps, warpath, lazytown and those favorites. I know that when I'm looking for servers to play on, I either search by map (i'd be more likely to join a 24/7 server of my fave map) or I just look for low pings ( i want to get in the game, and i want to get in NAO, and won't wait for a custom map to load ). also, lol at the custom map server playing dustbowl. EDIT: Perhaps implement Endyss's idea on #4? Safety + Peace

We could also use one server for tournament use. It would only get used a few times a week, but it would be there. TEAM APARTMENT: No one rocks quite as hard as we do.

My vote goes for a server with scripts that easily allow users to vote on say.. one of 2-3 maps, as well as whatever environmental toggles can be changed, such as gravity. Okay so I don't really know what else there is... only allow one class?... only melee weapons?... have each round be last-man-standing instead of normal objectives? Just zaney stuff like that. But not stats on it, or have the stats not factor into the overall.

It would be cool if somebody could mod the mod into allowing penguins to pop out. It would be very unique. Or have it change based on season or something? That is...if the mod could be found?
I also think that even though the 24/7 servers are awesome at filling up, I still have more fun when all of the regulars are just messing around on the custom maps server. I think it would be cool to have the non 24/7 servers have an automatic map vote every 30 minutes, that way, people would be able to choose whether they wanted to keep playing that map or change to a better one. It would be best if all of the maps that the server was running were on the list instead of just the ones that get nominated, because a lot of the time i forget to nominate a map by the time somebody has "RTV"ed, plus you can only nominate one map with RTV.

We don't have a 24/7 warpath server, and when I feel like playing 2fort at like 3 in the morning, tempest is usually dead. TEAM APARTMENT: No one rocks quite as hard as we do.

I feel like this = wasted server space. Nothing personal, but I see it as being as popular as it currently is now with those settings...
