I want to try a few different things to see if we get more people on, and one thing I am going to try is a 24/7 server.

But of which map?

Any thoughts?

It needs to be small, and reasonably stalemate.
Popular version of orange_x3.

Maybe a koth map?

pl_awesome or whatever that weird map that makes no sense is.

It need to be a popular map with very few 24/7 servers to work.

I still think pl will work quite well.

not the pl map that emptied the server last night - the same map that always empties a server in fact.

Which map?

Post subject:  Re: TF2 24/7 what? Server

dunno the name, just know if you had details of players / map you would see a drop in the number of people playing.

Looking at HLStats, looks like you mean hoodoo (the one with the different bomb), though the drop does start in goldrush, might have been the late night. I quite like the map in general, but it does have a lot of horrible chokes.

I would say a set of popular PL (not PLR) maps would work quite well. Goldrush is definitely a draw, looking at the HLStats graph, but it doesn't have a big enough history to say much else.

Popular/good PL maps, I would say:
Goldrush
Badwater
Upwards and Thundermountain (because they're new, maybe removed at later date)
Maybe some customs, but I haven't played many customs for a while.

Also, have a longer map timer, which helps PL maps get a good play.

Exactly what I was using, though that will change shortly and make no sense ><

You can see it does start to drop in GR, but it definitely doesn't pick up with Hoodoo, unlike it did after badlands.

Post subject:  Re: TF2 24/7 what? Server

that graph would do the same every time that last map is on imo :P

Heh, needs more data :P

Post subject:  Re: TF2 24/7 what? Server

But hoodoo doesnt really regularly empty the server does it? :S

Author:  Skillers [ Tue Jul 27, 2010 6:02 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: TF2 24/7 what? Server

It might do, I do think it reduces the people on a bit. Hence, needs more data!

Post subject:  Re: TF2 24/7 what? Server

People played Hoodoo for a bit, I think the server emptied after we'd played a few rounds of it. I guess people just started going to bed.


Anyway, for a 24/7 server I've always said we should have goldrush or badwater for one of those.

by that graph goldrush is the clear winner

Wow, that graph is difficult to read without bringing your head close to the screen.

If you want to do 24/7 then playload wise I think pl_badwater is the best choice.

Author:  Wynney [ Wed Jul 28, 2010 4:32 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: TF2 24/7 what? Server

a combination of pl maps is a good idea. With maybe dustbowl as well. DB/GR/BW would be an awesome server. I'd play on it even ;o

Author:  Skillers [ Wed Jul 28, 2010 5:02 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: TF2 24/7 what? Server

Hmm, dustbowl? Maybe good linear attack/defend maps, which are PL maps and those 6 CP ones.
