Adding a well/crossover2/badlands rotation server?

Drippy's 2fort gets full-up often. I am partially torn. 2fort brings in the newbs and all. And it's always nice and full. But when it's full, I get the impression people would play somewhere else, but i don't wish to detract from the main server. I for one would toss in some cash.

Obvs this is up to the Power that Be, but thoughts generally?

    Another server wouldn’t work. You don’t dilute the regular player base over multiple servers… they’ll eventually drift apart.

How about a round of Dustbowl on the main server? Maybe have a “Rotation Sunday” (late afternoon eastern US time, evening EU time, before the server gets packed at it’s normal US time), for an hour or so? Something fun and spammy. Badlands and Well are good maps… but are too big. We need to be “rewarded” with spammy gameplay and kills.

Edit: Bam is mentiond in the poll. Wow… that map used to be in many server rotations back in the day. I loved that map. Did we need to do a double conc jump up that massive elevator shaft? Good times.

    I agree, you don’t want to add servers, and something like maps happy hour now and then would be cool. I wouldn’t stray from valve created maps as now you are way out of control!

    I'm in for helping to fund a new server if Drip wants to, I'm sure it going to be more work. But I think a simple map like Well would be a better fit.

    there was a #2 server back in the day which had a rotation...(and bots)I don't recall why it no longer exists
If I remember correctly we could vote and had scorestreaks...I dunno if Ralphy was there or not
funniest shit was getting people to type !2 for added perks, when it would just take them to a different server
ALMOST as funny as getting grievers to change their names to myg0t

    An "older" version of Ralphy/QLad was running there. Fewer customizations, but some different ones.

I'd love to see #2 come back, especially for when D2F is full.

Only downside would be having to find Admins for it, as I don't know of many "Bot Wranglers" who still play here. I won't speak for any others, but I'd be willing to pull "double duty", so to speak.

Well, Rock2, Crossover2, Badlands, Avanti were always fun. Though IIRC, it was a 3 map rotation BitD.

    Could always designate an existing server that we can meet up on when drippy-s is full or when we want to play different maps.

Funtown?
Join, start a map vote, play. Simple.

    Using this forum to encourage us to go to another sever is a little bit rude, no?

Can a regular admin actually initiate a map change? My idea for a map change to Dustbowl (or maybe rock2), would be in place of the FF event that sometimes takes place. It would be a bit of harmless fun and would mix things up a bit.

    IIRC it's been made pretty clear that D2f will never run anything other than 2fort, and a resurrection of the secondary server doesn't seem likely either (and I'm not sure there's any point). Plus I don't think having a bhop cap on ADL maps would make sense (or for all the custom CTF maps that rely on advanced movement techniques).

So suggesting another server is really the only practical option. OST (and Funtown before it) are well-known as the crew keeping ADL alive in TFC, so if people wanted ADL, obviously they should head on over to OST. There's already a fair amount of players who play regularly on both. Only problem is OST tends to start up rather late at night (for East Coasters), but if more people were around and willing to get it going earlier, all the better.

    No, we can't change maps.... which is the joke behind the bind I have that says "!me has decreed that the next map shall be 2fort"

It's to make it look like we can, but never do, and the line is in tune with "!me has decreed that the next round shall be LESS Spammy(FF will be ON)" and the reverse.

    I was sure this topic had been broached before, but couldn't read back far enough.

I agree about the dilution worries, but was wondering if when the place is packed another could be sustained. I'd occasionally hit a redirect where when I joined a full server and automatically get sent to another. Maybe keep it closed/pw/whatever until the main server is full to prevent dilution?
