What is this.... I don't even...
I struggled and didn't succeed.
Bacon for admin! I'm much cooler than Life!
Zealot just rolled over in his cRPG grave.
*cough* repost from duplicate thread *cough*
Was a blast playing yesterday, good player skill level made it positively challenging and the classic maps... well I've been asking for them to be included in the Official servers for a long time already.
I agree with Reinhardt that the Community servers should try to diversify themselves from the Official ones with a few guidelines when it comes to map selection and size, in order to accommodate for players of different play styles. This way there is no direct competition between servers and they can peacefully coexist.
If you sit through the entire rotation, there should be enough maps to satisfy your diverse needs. If you can be more specific in what you mean by guidelines other than size I'll take a closer look.
Like I said we'll be refining our rotation as the week continues.

Someone remind me why we need to spread thin the already thinning playerbase....

Sure, currently the Official servers tend to sport more open field and sprawled out village maps. These are good in their own right and serve their purpose to prepare people for Strat battles. But they also tend to favor cavalry and are typically more useful for large population battles as they are very wide spread and do not offer many choke points.
I feel as though you only played for a limited period as the server opened. I highly suggest you play more frequently. though some maps pop up more often than others, but that doesn't mean the rotation started over.
I agree...but I don't think shutting out cav on the server is the right move.

Low population
Horses even more powerful
Banner balance

I am in love with the smaller server to be honest, it drives out the randomers who refuse to work as a group, leaving the core clans together, where as the randomers who do work together actually stay.
I also find that horses go down faster due to the majority of each team constantly watching each other's backs.
At the very least, it is a nice break from the massive server. I like both though to be clear. EU_1 for when I want a large server pop for my archer main (that was fun earlier =D), NA_1 when I want to mow down people with my shielder alt, or Community 1 for my archer to have a challenge.
Though you make it seem like the quality of players are better on this server, that is not the case.
Well initially it is, though eventually the quality will eventually resume normal levels as the server becomes more populated with a more standard selection of players. Partly why most people (that I have talked to, and in this thread) are seeing the quality run higher is because the vast majority of players on your servers are in a clan.
The maps certainly do promote good teamwork though (most of them), and that does help.
Once it does spread, you'll see a population much like official. I hope that's ok.
Finally good servers and good admins are here ( not NA servers , exlclude karma hes bad) once i get off my ban im going to NA servers and advertising the old ats servers
Go to your own clan's server if you want to be an immature little kid and blatantly team kill people for no reason. I don't think i'll be getting admin on that server anytime soon. :P
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Please take community siege offline and stop splitting our already limited player base.
I for one am tired of waiting for the servers to unlock on NA_1 at friday and saturday nights so...Invest in a better social life if you are waiting for the servers to unlock on friday and saturday nights.
Keep the servers online so I can play cRPG on usable ping whenever I want wherever I want =D
For siege though, as unbalanced (usually for offense) as the old ATS maps were (and have to be changed perhaps to reflect the "no ladders" rule) the single-player maps on NA_2 are also equally garbage for the most part. Some of the things have literally one path to flag... holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me for that is so defensive biased it is sickening.
At the end of the day, you just gotta accept that Siege is a n00b playing mode no matter how you slice it. :mrgreen:
Invest in a better social life if you are waiting for the servers to unlock on friday and saturday nights.Agreed, or know the password for locked servers like i do (:
Tears, you never play siege.
The official servers do siege better.
Please take community siege offline and stop splitting our already limited player base.
thanks for your input, tears.

Well said.
Like Keslord said, sure, battle gets nice and full, then all we need is a community battle server. Siege has at best 50 people on weeknights. I just played a map yesterday where the attackers spawn the first round on the inside of the walls literally among the defense. Get rid of the siege community server, please.
so thats how you fix it eh, just get rid of it all together, my gawd you sir are a genius. Please think before opening your mouth and spewing worthless garbage in the thread, k thanks.You mad?
You mad?
Don't get "butthurt" because your servers are currently shitty.
Devs seem to continually "fix" things that aren't broken.
Need more people on the community servers. I'm so tired of the ranged/cav/randombadmap shitfest that is the official servers; always leaves me feeling like I should have spent my free time doing something else.
The problem I'm seeing is in the evenings/at night, there are 20ish players on NA_1 and on Community_1. We need to get everyone on one server when the populations are low.
And I honestly don't care what server that is...I don't have any ties to community or official, and I'm assuming most people are in my boat. I'd prob show a slight preference for community (I've always liked Occitan guys) if they weren't dividing the total server population.
NA officials.... I'd like to set some things straight for the record.This is a gold medal idea. I want this implemented as soon as it can please. +1(click to show/hide)

Now, as for the topic of Population Split:(click to show/hide)
Since the popularity on community servers has and will continue to grow. I present the following solution for the NA player split, but before you read it, please identify the problems I tend to address:
A. People who prefer smaller servers
B. People who prefer larger servers
C. People who prefer quality maps
D. People who prefer a more involved moderator team
E. People who would like to get involved with server management.
F. Donators who want more for their money beyond just a place to play
To solve these issues, get this, I'd like to open up another server and actually discourage play on Officials except for Strategus and emergency purposes.
The additional server would be a NA Community 3 (40 man Battle).
The Current Battle Server (NA Community 1) would be bumped up to 120 slots.
This in turn will let those who like small battles find a great place to play, and encourage everyone else to play in one place without a split community. All other issues are automatically resolved for the most part with Community Servers being online.
I apologize if this came accross as being arrogant or cocky. Its just my opinion...if you don't like it you can still play on the community servers, thats your right, just bash me here on the forums not on the servers while I admin.
D. People who prefer a more involved moderator team

I do hope history doesn't repeat itself.Me too.
So, for you, this is a bitter, personal vendetta against the official servers?
I remember your "more involved" moderators. I also remember you segregating an entire clan to their own personal server, and trying to look like the hero for it, as if you did them a favor. Your idea of moderation was very extreme in the past. I do hope history doesn't repeat itself.
So, for you, this is a bitter, personal vendetta against the official servers? If anything, this attitude discourages me from wanting to play on the Occitan servers. You sound like you're trying to create some kind of server war, but most people don't care that much. We will play wherever there are players. We just want to play the game. The server browser is not the battlefield you envision it to be.
60 v 60 is a lot more fun than 40 v 40 :)That's an opinionated response. I personally as well as many other people I know prefer smaller games, between 10v10 and 20v20.

NERF PLEASE
None of the NA servers are showing up for me, all I see are EU and China servers.same
The map Blank 140 (tutorial map) is in rotation and really...it really shouldn't be. It's not fit for battle mode. A duel server yes, but battle, no.....please remove. Also...how many admins does the Community server currently have? Haven't seen one the last couple days and we certainly could use one today. :P Glad to see so many on the server (even if it's mainly because the official servers are down.) Better maps...well mostly. lol
