Gents,
Our server is wilting at an alarming rate lately. I bought another account and created a remote box that seeds automatically.
This is only one account. The player name is donthurtme96. It will spawn in when under 4 people and logout over that number.

Any help is appreciated to get the server started earlier.

Suggestions:
Don't seed earlier than 12pm est, we just don't have the population to sustain earlier than that hour in the day.
Chances are you will just burn yourself out in the mornings...

Wow! Under 150 to 170 is a pretty big drop!
I wonder what's causing it.

Could it have something to do with some of our great players? ;) ;) ;)

Jokes aside I will try to get the server going as early in the day as possible in the hope that more people will join earlierand the server will have a longer peak of players, which should drag in more people.

Ahh, I'm hoping to be more active now, been swamped with work and some having company over the weekends.. see you guys on the battlefield
 
As much as I love Golmud, and playing with you guys there, dedicated servers are a breeding ground for awesome players. This will sometimes turn away noobs/casual players. Same thing day in day out, hell even I'm getting the better of you guys sometimes. That should be alarming in itself. I understand that when playing we can change maps and we'll see the population drop off. No doubt that you have people that frequent our server for strictly Golmud. Some people don't like change. It's a fine line between populating , and playing a map we all like i.e. Golmud. Endless admin messages, stagnant map rotation, people know what to expect. I think we need some variety, people get tired of eating bologna.
Just tossing ideas out, I'll be happy with whatever is decided.
Be well John Spartan.
Edit: Also, playing against Myth makes me want to punch a nun.

Myth is a tough bastard lol

I do agree with your other points. Repetition can get boring and we have occasionally made a change to play other maps only to lose half the player base. It requires some major fine tuning but whatever is decided should be good.
 
I try to mix it up some... but when we change, we end up losing a lot of players. for instance, last week we had over 50 players on Golmud and I switched it to Lancang Damn.... we dropped to 20 players in seconds.

but I generally agree with your statement and will try to work in more maps.
 
I tend to look at it two ways, if we/you/powers that be decide additional maps are the answer, we can do a subtle change and ease the populous into additional content. Or we can drop the bomb and put in a rotation. It is for certain that either way is not going to yield the best results right off the bat. Sometimes starting fresh then afterwards fine tuning is easier to manage and can give you a forecast for additional changes.
THIS IS SPARTA!!
 
I agree map rotation and variety would be an awesome addition. But if our platoon doesn't band to gather to help start the server earlier in the day then nobody's going to come and play. Problem is platoon members just don't want to spend the time to start the server. And I see why because it's not fun at all. I purchased another computer and bought another account for seeding. We have two full-time dedicated computers with their own accounts now . It has helped tremendously . Please friend imafragile96 and Donthurtme96. Helping start the server early in the day is the single most important thing you can do to help our platoon. When the population is strong we will get more privileges and map rotation. Thanks for your support

I like the vote map system, sounds like a sound idea. Let the population decide where to go
