An idea for a change of pace without dividing the population. The Siege server would be open on Sunday with a XP bonus and password locked the rest of the week so it wouldn't effect battle population the rest of the days. Vote !

Fuck you
But quality idea, i second this
-
I like the idea of a siege day but personally I would choose a day other than sunday as that seems to currently be the best day for cRPG pop and I would rather have the highest population be on a battle day. Not heavily opposed to the idea though I did vote no. I would just rather it be siege saturdays for example.
Just my two cents.
(already voted but I would have voted for siege saturday)
-
Saturdays, however, are typically a lower pop day. For siege to be enjoyable you need a good number of players. I'm sure the details can be worked out.
I was actually good in siege -- this would be a dream come true.

fucking normies and their weekend parties

don't force people to play on a server, just have the servers open for use

Incentivising isn't enforcement.
edit: didn't see the "password lock" part, yeah that would be fucked.

password locked the rest of the week
keep the seige server open, maybe you can get some people to play during the week, do what you want

Skipped over that part, gg speed reading.
Yeah don't password lock the server on other days, just give an incentive for the Siege day.

If you just leave both servers open, it will split the population and make both suck.
It has to be one game mode at a time, until we get more people. Bringing in (and forcing) siege for a fraction of the time WILL draw in more old players. Once we have critical mass, we open both servers permanently.

oh fucking hell ya!
sat\sun\tues...im pretty much down for siege any day tbh.
also, lock siege?
oh fucking hell no!

you're talking about forcing people to play a certain server when the best option is to allow players to choose what gamemode they want to play. you're not splitting the population either, its just battle is more popular atm; i'm sorry that not a lot of people want to play siege all the time. if u and a dozen other people want to leave the battle server and play siege on some tuesday, why should we have the server passworded
im all for SIEGE SUNDAY and to have extra xp on the server sounds like a great idea, but we should not password servers
keep player choice king, its why we play crpg (except remove choice to play horse archer)
-
Give double xp/gold on certain hours of the day perhaps, or day(s) of the week. That'd be an incentive.

A "day of siege" would be a great change of pace, excellent idea, I am glad that I thought of it and suggested it.... :mrgreen:

I never agree with N1PS, so I will have to disagree strongly with the above statement.... The password idea would not be very functional, nor in keeping with the authoritarian nature of cRPG. The obedience to the two-hander elite must be observed... at all times! Long live chairman N1PS and the ruling party! :mad: :mrgreen: :mad:

The thing about password lock is, if you have both servers up it splits the community and less people will play seeing both servers at low population. I get why people don't like it but the best way to sustain the community atm is only 1 server at a time.
-
I would rather play on a 10 player battle server than any pop seige please don't shut down battle just to force a population on seige.
-
I'll explain the reasoning behind leaving siege locked the rest of the week. I completely understand that some people would rather just have things be the way they were, but in my opinion that's how we were left with empty servers in the first place, some change is always good.
1: Not split the population
2: Will not need a Dev to constantly turn off the XP boost on the server. Can this be timed? idk. If so maybe it wouldn't need to be locked on the other days.
3: Make it more appealing to the masses by making it an event day.

man too bad we had the siege server open yesterday and got 50 people to play on some random wednesday

Then make it so the 1 server rotates between the game modes.
If people think that keeping pop on one server is important, it shouldn't only be one group who has to take the bullet. If you want your whole population, come join us on the siege server. I understand how people may not like the siege game type, but I don't get this hypocrisy of people saying its better to keep everyone together, but refuse to unless its their game mode.
Having a server that rotates game modes would solve the problem, since everyone gets what they want.

the point is you won't ever please the entire population
a gain for one person is a loss for another, and that is the problem here. this is what player choice looks like, and im sorry that crpg having a low population threatens the survival of the mod (welcome to old and dying games).
still, one thing that is crucial for a game's success is player freedom, and that freedom entails players being able to choose what servers they want to play on.

Or, both parties can gain something great by giving up something small. This is called compromise.
Both parties lose some freedom, but gain a sweet-ass mod with different game mods, and enjoy the benefit of the FULL population playing together on one sever all the time.
I would love for there to be one server that just plays a siege map once out of every 5 battle maps or something. Everyone wins!

I wouldn't call that a win, I'd be more happy with one battle map every five maps. If you want compromise from that route. Make it more reasonable. Something a bit more evenly divided.
