Question for Administration Options

[T/A6Pak]

Maybe we should let the server fill up first before thinking of the private slots. First off we have just changed the IP address, this will cause a minor problem for the server for the next few weeks. Currently we have both servers still running. In my opinion adding private slots right now is not in the best interst of filling the MW server.

IMO we should get the server populated again, then think of adding private slots if needed. I think that Steel has done a fine job running the server. If in the future we find it populated to the point that our MOB and Regs cannot get in, then add the private slots.

Dear Steel and all the Mob Family.



I know I'm new to the mob fam & did not mean to stir the pot and start a bunch of sh_t if I did then for that

I'm sorry but I thouhgt the question needed to be asked about MWCM.



First of all let me say I think Steel and all the Mob adminiseration staff do a great job on behalf of all

the mob family and for that THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH !!!!



I have played MWCM almost exclusivly for quiet some time and by far it is the most popular server that

mob has! and Yes I did think that becoming a mob reg would allow me to get in with a password even if

the server was full BUT that is NOT the why I asked to join the mob fam it was for all the GOOD PEOPLE

and Commentary that make up the mob family !!



But try joining a game on MWCM on Friday , Sat , or sunday nite, Be prepared to wait awhile Quite

awhile and thats OK it's worth it !! But

Anyway I think 2-4 slots reserved for mob regs is needed and would benefit all involved.



PS Even throw I'm layed off right now I would like to be the first to donate what I can for just that cause.

PSS Thanks go's out to all for listening to me VENT LOL

Hey Tim don't worry about "stirring the pot" we have open discussion here to figure out what the best course here is. I think you'll find that most times everyone hashes it out in a very respectful manner. Otherwise we lash them 10000000 times with a wet noodle..... and here's my two cents about the server. I actually spent a little time there today and yesterday. A little wild for me but I might actually play there some more. I think that the servers should have private slots for MOB members. If for no other reason we pay for the servers. Regardless of it's popularity they don't pay for it. It's great that it's popular and other people come here but for instance I tried yesterday for almost an hour to get in. Someone else jumped in before me everytime. I got in and there were a couple of ppl in spectate. I tried to kick them but didnt have enough power points on that server. Which is understandable as I'd hardly ever been on the UO servers before. I think with a little effort from the MOB people who play there the private slots can work well. We just need to keep reminding each other to reconnect to the private slots if the server begins to get full. Just my nickel's worth...

thats one thing i noticed sunday was there were like 4 specs in and the server was full , is there a time limit for the specs? the map rotation is alot of fun so ive been playing mostly there the last few days,sunday was the only day i waited.

[Angus Thermopyle]

Undead, I think that four specs is a rarity for that server. Usually there is maybe 1 spec. I have been warning them when I am on especially when they are commenting on the game play such as giving away positions. I think Steel has been camping on the server to help get people in the server but I could be wrong.

There's just no problem with the server being full at this point. Since moving it inside the {MOB} server box two days ago, the server's had, at max, 18 people on it at once. So, until we see it get full even just once, the rest of these things, e.g. private slots, kicking specs, etc., are moot points.

I'll make sure that as soon as the server is getting full again, I'll put in private slots and disallow continuous spectating.

Thanks Steel,

As GI Joe always says " anything can be fixed with a little duct tape!"

Thanks Joe, I probably got your quote wrong...LOL

I can't imagine playing that with 64 ppl on it to be honest.... Would be INSANE. Played again lastnight when it hit me I might need to make adjustments to my settings... duh. Went from eh to 1st in .06 seconds Pretty fun. I'll probly spend a little time there here and there.

i just want to clarify that i don't think we should change a thing. on Sunday i was on early had no problems getting on but from 12 to 5 it was a mad house and was the only time frame I've ever had a problem getting in . i don't think we should warn the specs but if they do a whole map theres others (not just mob)that want to join so then it would be OK i guess . there are people who watch their stats and always start a map fresh and i can tell you that if i finally was able to log on and was waiting to join a new map and got kicked id be furious . with the ip change its always weird and I'm confident steel will get it back to normal but for now i think we should make no changes what so ever.

Sorry everyone, but I have to ask this, but am I missing something? Steel moved the server over to our box. It is having a little problem filling up consistently at the moment, but I'm sure it will soon (In fact, I would guess it HAS been full by times?). So, since there is no cost now to adding the "MOB" extra slots, what is the reason for waiting? Add them, done, fintio, let our new MOB Regs guys enjoy them, as well as a few of the other MOBs apparently trying it out. If the server isn't full, there still is no harm, no foul> They'll just be unused as opposed to non-existant. But I'm sure they'll be used some.

OK, I think I was missing that the server has 64 slots now! Yikes! Will the server handle that if that many people start coming in?
