You're lucky to have nipped in the bud so early. We waited too long to fix it in the US and now it's become a systemic issue. There's a potentially easy solution to this I think. If people are running special events, they're usually run on private servers. When a server is set on private, it...

It's still worth trying if only for the symbolic effort, but we've long past the point of no return. Regular methods aren't going to work. It was the collective choice of the US region nearly a decade ago to let these servers become popular, and now that we're nearly a decade into it, it's no...

This has been the go-to method for years, but through-and-through it's never ended the true supremacy of the one-map server tactic - it's only stolen scraps from the people who host them. It was the same way years ago, even when there were multiple big clans around which made alliances and...

The best times I had in this mod were "chilling out" on every map under the sun with CoR (an FA only clan) and EW, who liked to do a little bit of everything. Once you learn the other maps well enough, and it only took 2-3 games on a map to get the hang of it, that "chill out" sense becomes...

I believe player liberty is one of the highest values of this game too. It's one of the greatest elements of this mod that have made me stay. I was always astounded at how many strange and unconventional tactics I could find that people weren't expecting, and just how many ways there were to...

These threads wouldn't be made routinely if there weren't people who thought this was a problem. If their opinion of the game is that they're not having fun due to lack of variety, that's a completely valid complaint, which I've only seen addressed by reassurances that everything is fine and...

It goes back to the cycle I laid out in the beginning of the thread. Running one-map servers on select maps and having clan members to fill them up initially is simply the easiest way to make population initially, make new clan members, and build trust that the servers will be populated in the...

At least in my perspective, the "death" of this game has less to do with the raw numbers of players online and more to do with the quality of the experience. I simply am not having any quality experiences with this game anymore when I compare things to how they were before. The population is...

Balance changes aren't really what I'm looking at here. A new map will sit in the dustbin for years without seeing more than a few hours played. It's not enticing for new or old developers to make any other changes besides gameplay tweaks because of this. This mod doesn't need any new content...

Clickbate title, but an important topic. If you make any new content for this mod, expect it to be played for a few weeks and then have it be forgotten for years afterwards. Nothing you make is going to be played because the communities that enjoyed hosting a variety of content have quit this...

Choosing that arguments are invalid because you disagree with them is exactly what has been happening for the past few pages against me. No thought, just accusations and refusals. I can see what happens on both sides. You only see through your own eyes. It's very hard for someone to listen to...

Chaos isn't capable of writing in English or using logic to debate, and you're just some coward who crawled out of the dirt to insult me. Obviously you're upset, otherwise you wouldn't bother throwing your hat into the ring. I've been productive by giving arguments and examples to support my...

You're as deep as a roadside puddle. Don't get upset at me for it.

Small minded people once again. Same canned responses. Same unthoughtful replies. None of you are capable of deconstructing logic, only stating your own points more emphatically. Crawl back to your dens of misery.

Chaos, you still haven't provided any counter arguments, just more autism and lulzspeech. All you seem capable of saying is "no it's not" and "you're bad and stupid" like a child who can't figure out the reasons they dislike something. The "free market" is a goddamn concept you moron. There has...

@Chaos the Chaotic You never admitted that the free market doesn't even exist in the real world, did not explain how DotF 24/7 does not harm this game, did not give a counter argument towards how cultures can be inferior nor acknowledged that your own moral and cultural relativism is a tenet of...

Good luck, but it's a pointless endeavor. I've played this game since B17 and seen exactly how server populations grow or shrink. Firstly, you're missing a clan of even group of people who've agreed to populate your server rather than others, and administrate it in your absence. Secondly, you...

@Chaos the Chaotic It's rich that you'd call me a snowflake. You are the greatest snowflake this game has seen, posting day after day of nonsensically worded derailments. You project your own inadequacies unto others. I've explained numerous times how it is harmful. I'll do it again. Playing...

That's an unhelpful ad hoc argument. Taking a snapshot of the population at one moment makes no difference if that particular occurrence is statistically abnormal. Anyone who has played this game will know that dotf is still the only map people play, and seeing the servers on something else is...

You must play with the wrong people or have never played them to proper pop. They all break the mold of hallway shooter maps so mi comprende why u no comprende. If you count maps from the CMP, Movie Map Packs, and UM, there are actually over 80, but as for maps playable in open, I'd count only...
