Wanna be on a MOB Action Squad?, Replacing/reviving dead servers Options

[steel]

"Don't dream it, be it!" (Dr. Frankenfurter aka Tim Curry, Rocky Horror Picture Show, 1975)

We basically have 4 dead servers, do we want to remodel/revive them? They are:

CODUO:

Frontline
German Front

COD2:
Aim
Mix Maps

What do you think? Change maps? Take volunteers to play/camp them for a week or two? Put in a mod that we know of? Make a mod that's totally our own custom mod?

What would YOU play? If you had your very own coduo or cod2 server, and it would be exactly like what you would want, what would that be, that you would want to play everyday for hours on end? Do you think it would attract others, or be okay to keep coming back to even if you only got maybe 6 players at a time?

Or should we take down the underpopulated servers and put all of our energy into the highly active coduo and cod2 servers?

I've got a few whacky ideas. How about a Modern Weapons BAS server for coduo? How about making one of my Modern Weapons Fly Planes BAS servers (do you know that CKI is using my weapons mod and configs that I made for my experimental modern weapons fly planes server, and it is now the #1 modern weapons server in the world?! Argh!). How about a totally modded-out cod2 server with custom maps, maybe call it Modded Weapons Custom Maps (we can't do modern weapons on cod2 cause the internal code in cod2 was never released for modding, afaik).

I dunno, anyone wanna brainstorm on this? The one thing I don't want to do is put a ton of time into a server that those who had the idea won't faithfully play or camp til it takes off, lol. Been there done that, lol.

But, it seems bad that we leave empty servers hanging out there. We all know we do it cause we have a gigantic server box and can make a bunch of servers. But to me, empty servers give the clan an empty sort of appearance, instead of the vast, vibrant community it really is.

That's all, just thought I'd throw that out.

With the Frontline Server why not just add some maps to it.

1.kharkov_bas_beta

2.smolenskF

3.mp_ex_nihilo_uk

4.mp_uo_ardennes1944

5.vitebsk_F



Why not these maps?

These maps are very good BAS maps.

Why not these maps?

These maps are very good BAS maps.

kharkov, smolensk and ardennes 44 r indeed good maps, and I think that if there was a rotation of these maps, it would attract players. Barbarossa and tuchola were great sucesses cause barb was like the oldest of them all, and tuchola was at the begining always populated by MOB'ers, beacsue it was scrapyardbob who did it and ppl were checking it out, and soon more ppl came and stayed, despite fewer mobsters being there... so if a similar approach was made to these maps(or map) would be worthwile. I loved smolensk, but there were not always full because there needs to be like 5 ppl to make others come, I remember, on weekends whern MOB'sters and reugrals came, and barbarossa was full, they came there and soon more ppl came and it was packed on the weekends, but during the week, mabye like 3 ppl tops. I guess it would need advertising, like I first came to tuchola after seeing console in barb say "see our very own scrapyardbob's map - tuchola", probably otherwise I would not even go there... so these would need something like that, advertisemnt.



And it could be done that its a roation or mabye like everyday a diffrent map, like when smolensk was conquest on tuesdays and saturdays or something. mix it up and stuff.



And one last suggestion... or question is there a place on mobclan.com sie to get the maps to download, cause my friend wanted to play but he said it take a long time to download via callofduty, but he could do it if there it was somewhere on website, like during the night... I think that would let ppl download maps and play, cause on barb and tuchola i see everyday



so-and-so disconnected

download disconnected...



mabye the map obtaination itslef is a problem.
