Combine Tucola and Barb server (Classic weapons)? Options

[M@ster of Dis@ster]

I made a one line suggestion in another thread about combining the Tuchola server and Barb into one in another thread, since Tuchola has had a little luck getting people one lately. Several people seemed to like the idea, so figured it needed its own thread. Perhaps the two maps together would give the fans of both those maps with "classic" weapons a chance to play again. Personally, not a big Tuchola fan, but I could be tempted to give it an occasional go if it'd revive classic Barb again as well. Could mean some members who don't often chat get to meet each other as well.

Anyone else agree it's a good idea? I mean, the old Barb server has been almost completely dead for two months now. Tuchola has only been a little better. This might help both.

I AGREE

[Shred and Burn]

Tuchola is sacred.
Some people play only that map.

I would agree with keeping the Tuchola only server while rotating Tuchola on the Barb server.

Might even be cool to do a Broadsword / Tuchola / Barb rotation.

The forest is dead. That was the only place Jack and I played. After a while we kept having to sit in spec trying to get people to join in and play. It got to be were we got tired of waiting. I think you might try rotating it and barb on both servers but open the map change option up for people to choose what they want to play. With both servers rotating forest and barb, people might be attracted too it. But that is just my opinion. Doesn't matter much anymore.

I agree...this might be an interesting combo. As I recall the main complaints with Broadsword and Barb were that they got old game after game. I'm also not a big fan of the forest but in a rotation...who knows.

I for one vote that putting Barb and Broadsword into a rotation with Forest would be cool.

Broadsword / Tuchola / Barbarossa.

How badass is that?

[Kleerance]

I agree with MoD. I am not big Tuchola fan myself, but this seems like a compromise that might work. Both Barb and Tuchola has their hard core fans so maybe this can kickstart the server? I don't know about Broadsword. First of all there's big lag problems with the map, and the map hasn't any hard core fans. We tried this map for a couple of months and it just died - no interess. It never was a hit

When we had a Broadsword ONLY server ,it was active for 3-4 months ,then just died .....Also putting 3 of the Largest maps on 1 server might cause loading and or lag problems ,especailly with the mod packs that go with them.

Just so you guys know, I'm watching this topic carefully, so if there's a clear winner, I can make it happen overnight. Personally, I don't have a dog in this fight, so it's really what the loyal standard-weapons BAS players want.

I might as well chime in and put my 1/4 of a cent in, LOL. I agree with Shred, Please don't mess with Tuchola, I could see a Barb/TF rotation an active server though. But I have never seen this broadsword map. Is it cool? Many months since you ran I guess, I think a Barb/Broadsword rotation would lure. It would lure me since I've never been there.

Just have to love the forest. And we all love playing in there for hours. Yuppers!

OK! my 1/8 cent. Do what you want with rotations, but would very much like the Forest to stay as is.

Someone ask me the other night about putting mw on the Forest and I said I don't think it can be done.

The Forest is not really dead, we have the AWOL in almost everynight and now more is starting to come in again.

I for one did liked the Boardsword, yes I know it was a big map, But it still was neat with the cable car and the ropes to climb up to the castle and finding ways to get onto the roofs. And yes I miss it but that was in the past. Now we have to look to the future.

Yupper's keep the Forest the way it is. Our own ScrappyBob made it. Remember?

I am a touch puzzled about those who want to keep Tuchula "as it is". Isn't that usually empty? The server usage for the month put it at 1/10th as busy as our MW servers, which suggests to me that it's empty much of the time. The theory is if we rotate, you'll get more action for both maps, even if there are those who'll jump on for one maps and exit afterwards.

If that's the majority opinion though, I guess that is the way it is. I really don't think it would work to have a Tuchola/Barb rotation on one server, and Tuchola 24/7 on another. That'd just split whatever Tuchola crowd there is, which would probably do more harm than good.

Gotta agree with MoD here. i think that a Barb and TF rotation would be very good, bring a mix of crowds and revitalize a server. Keep it standard weapons of course.



What I'm a bit curious about is will both Barb and TF 24/7 be taken down and then have 1 server emerge from their ashes? Personally, that makes sense to me as you guys then gain some more room in the server box (excuse me if I'm wrong about server box, etc) for when the new games come out.
