Chris,
Adding the last set of maps needs to be done slowly and monitored. Last adds pushed population from our ranking 17 to 21. Im glad to say its climbing well now. At time running through the night. The population is readjusting. Rank back to 19. If the trend continues, i'll open a discussion as to what map changes Hardcore fans would like to play.
tl;dr: This is the hardcore conquest category and there are only 2 servers to look at. cant look at the full spectrum comparing it to normal mode. Despite having horrible admins, TBG remains in the number 1 spot because they have what I'm suggesting on this post. That is the only difference in the servers. If you make the change, You can easily come number 1 within the HC community, especially because we are looking for an alt server without the TBG mods.

Why not full send? a fluctuation of 17, to 21 could be from anything. Would you be willing to make the map/vote change I suggested and leave it for a week and collect your data based on that?
Because in reality, this is the number 2 hardcore conquest server behind TBGs hardcore conquest server and the only difference between both servers is they have all maps with voting, and no commander mode.
Making this change does not deserve the careful eye to determine how it compares to everything else. This Is only for the hardcore conquest fanbase, and it seems TBG has already done the experiment for you. Their liberal approach to maps is popular.
If this change happens, you can only move up one space and that is to the 1 spot within the hardcore communities eyes. I will have no reason to continue playing TBG either. I have been looking for an alternative server to offer what I want, because their mods are pretty terrible and you guys are great but the variety just isnt there yet
