Thread: new server idea

Hello all.

I don't really come around the forums much, but if you guys play on Hideout you might recognize my name "hi".
I thought I would just come around and suggest a new idea for a server...

I enjoy playing a rotation of maps, with access to all weapons, and actually having to manage cash for weapons and whatnot, instead of instant 16k. Now, you may suggest that I find a different server, not in the NG community, but I happen to really enjoy the great admins and the players in NG. I oftentimes run into hackers and annoying people on other servers, and admins are never online to deal with the problems, and the general lack of players in those servers. I feel like a rotation server with an actual cash system, not instant 16k, with no weapon/equipment restrictions, would do real well in the NG community.
Just a suggestion. If there isn't enough of an interest...well, I tried.

Peace

that actually sounds like a great ideal however funds are falling alittle short recently, I am sure if we got them back up, we might be able to host more servers such as minigames Jailbreak and other servers that people like you would like to see.

we have had rotation servers in the past many times but it just never stayed populated

really? how long ago was that? and do you ever see it existing again in the near future?

im sure we can set one up if our donations are met each month so we can get the new server while maintaining our servers

we have those currently, its called scrims! join our vent and check the forums daily because we have no set date for them and new players have priority over admins so dont be shy and claim a spot

similar to what hi is saying i think that a competitive map server on rotation maybe 30 rounds or a 1hr timelimit for the map with 5vs5 maybe 8vs8 for the amount of players and a competitive .cfg whould be interesting

guess i should start scrimming again!

Well I really like the idea of this! Hopefully if we get enough people to comment on this thread and support it, and donate more, maybe it will be a possibility in the near future

I will talk to some other admins and get some input on this topic. One thing I do ask of you tho Hi is to keep coming back to the forums and checking up on the status of this, and obviously to come and chat with us

Thanks

I like the rotation server idea a lot. I think NG use to have a rotation server a long time ago, but there wasn't much interest in it after the server was up. I would love for there to be one now, I get bored of playing office and dust2 and think a mix of good rotation maps would help populate it.

some suggestions to make the server more fun

good rotation of old cal maps/currect esea maps
good config file such as the old cal.config or use esea's config file
add quake sounds
don't add bling to the server
don't add noblock
add the death beam would be nice
a maximum of 30 players I think would be more than enough but not entirely sure on this
allow only chatting to team chat only, just like dust2

This is what I would like to see if it went up, however it isn't my decision and only a suggestion
donaters keep donating to help pay for the cost of a new NG server, or NG could simply add it to a box that doesn't have a lot of traffic or maybe kill a server that doesn't get played that much and add the "new" one.
