.TuG.Beaver Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Due to the lack of activity on the server recently, I've decided to modify the configs on our 2 BF2 Ranked Servers. Both servers are now running - Gulf Of Oman, Mashtuur City, Sharqi Peninsula, Strike At Karkand 24/7 The maps are still the 32 player versions.

Tantalus Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I am wondering if the reduced numbers of players active in the server is anything to do with finding it on the in-game list or it's advertised name.. It never seems to be anywhere near the top of my scanned list; I only ever join it because the IP is down in my list of favourites. Could it be the 'Full-stop' (period - for you americans out there) at the beginning of the Tag is having a detrimental effect on it being found? Could perhaps a change of title bring in more 'customers'? I know I tend to go for those advertised with 'UK' and 'Ranked' in the titles - maybe a name like " Ghosts UK+EURO =RANKED= " might (a) be easier to find and ( seem more appealing. The same could go for the one over the pond eg., " Ghosts USA = RANKED= " I noticed when in-game the server pop-up messages for the Euro server stated "Welcome to the .... Dallas" - with a 34 ping I must be cooking with gas! Either that or a line from the Dallas config has found its copy/paste way into the Amsterdam server... Also noted - the blurb at the joining screen must be at a character limit because it only gets so far as saying that .TuG. players are admins before the sentence is cut-off in mid-flow.. Some might say I'm just being picky - But I prefer it to be looked upon as just being 'thorough'. Observant as always. Tantalus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.TuG.Beaver Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I'd say you where picky... I'll take a look at the spammed text. Reason I put what I did inb the title was because of some minor research I did with a few people who had ranked servers and how they run them. Seems those 4 maps listed are peeps fav's at the moment. I dont understand your point about the .TuG. thing - surely it doesnt matter with the . or not as people seem to be looking for certain words like kark or sharqi or 24/7 in the server names, rather than the clan running it I think. Maybe I'll make more sense later when I sober up & have had some sleep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantalus Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Concurr with your choice of maps - I hadn't seen the complete list as it doesnt fully show in the 'game browser'. The Gulf map is a great map for teamplay if you get it right! As for the title I was merely brainstorming; you're right a name doesn't have as great an effect as does the running map - but I think the word 'Ranked' in a title means at least the less 'technical' of players can know they are going to get some more points towards another medal/award.. As for being picky, well, I think you've been hitting that Dandelion & Burdock a little to hard of late ... Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
