The possibility of adding new maps to our main server

[Sean]

Hi guys,

A lot of players have been requesting that RC adds some fan maps to our rotation.

I was originally completely against this, as I honestly think the drop in player count would not be worth it, but looking at figures, most of our player base is now running 4.0 and/or taking part in community war training.

We'll be adding a announcement in the coming days for the server, informing players that we'll be trialing some new maps in the rotation soon.

What maps would you guys like to be added?

Based on the responses of this thread, we'll create a poll and we can vote.

I'd say your on thin ice with this idea. Tread carefully...

It will only be one map at a time.

Sean,

You and I discussed this before and you know my view but I'll post so everyone is in the loop.

The problem with most Fan Maps is that they are either too big and/or favour Nod too much.

There are, however, a few Fan Maps which are really good fun and would work on a regular AOW server. I think including some good novel maps would be a good thing for the server and could increase player count.

However, I also think if we add shitty Fan Maps it could kill player count particularly among regulars.

Maps that I know work are: Siege, Niagra, Uphill, Creekdale, Snow, Conquest_Winter.

There may be a few others and we can try them out in Funwars before we decide if they are suitable.

It's a bad idea to have a poll because all the tards will vote for Terrace, Duel Arena and Carnage Club Extreme.

Please, I beg, limit this experiment to the maps listed above and don't be tempted to put DM or Inf only maps in the rotation.

Regards

Gumby

This is not a done deal. This is just concept right now. We will know more after the vote. If it turns out the way you outline I agree it will not work. An alternative would be an event day like our practices. We can even have fanmaps one day a month. We want to do what the majority of the players want and do not want to chase them away.

The only difference our server will offer with fanmaps is our mods and marathon mode. If they do not like that, we won't do it.

Creekdale_Flying and Niagra are good, can we trial them tomorrow in the funwar?

I like Creekdale_flying, I don't know anyone who likes Conquest Winter, People leave in droves with that map!

I'd totally agree with you on Creekdale_Flying (didn't you play it in a Jelly vs n00bless commwar)? Creekdale w/o flying is good too.

Conquest_ Winter worked really well in another Funwar we had but if people don't like it, well ok.

I suggest we try them out in training and decide if they are good before adding them to the server rotation.

And G1D, if you can remake Mines_TS without the elevators that would be an epic map too.

To be blunt: No. We run a marathon server, not a new maps. The only way I can see new maps working is if we make entirely different server. The majority of people may be running 4.0 but there are still a lot that aren't. I do not want people that are new to this game to turn away from our server because they do not have the map and can't join. It's a good idea, but it just will not work.

Then make a new server nab

Gumby I could do that.
