NA_cRPG_2 (na siege)

[dark_bud]

why does the NA Siege server always look like this?  I know most folks prefer to play on the community siege server which is cool, but when I see there's a couple people on and join wanting to encourage a few more people it pretty well sucks that this is what I always seem to see.  Not always the same names of course, but always the same situation.

I just wanted to know if this was an old picture or not, as Druzhina_Ramon has already been banned for leeching like this before, and if this is recent then I suppose I need to make the next one a little longer to get the point across.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I do encourage people to play NA_cRPG_2 more often, it could use the love!

yeah, I mean it's annoying that people leech like this, but for me the real issue is why is the server so dead??

I mean, do people not like the map rotation? or is everyone just more used to the community server and prefer it?

Because the people on ATS battle have noticed that everyone went to NA_cRPG_1, so they go too. No one ever went to siege (NA_cRPG_2), so the people from ATS siege never left to go to the fuller server. A lot of people on the ATS siege never play in a different server, so they don't bother looking for a different server either.

Yeah, I'm with Mirey here. It seems as if there are more battlers than siegers and so there are multiple battle servers with people in them. Siege is better with more people, so everyone tends to go to the siege server with more people. Do you want to go to a siege server with 0 players to get it started? Seems like no one else does either.

I know what you mean about folks not wanting to go to an empty siege server to get it started.  That's why when I see there's 2 people on it I think to myself "alright, a couple people on I'll join too!"

I think it's fun to be on a full siege server, but at the same time some of the most fun I've had in siege has been when there's only 15-20 people on.  With the lower numbers people tend to work together better in siege and it gets some real fun gameplay going.  It can also be nice not trying to climb the crowded ramp getting hit in the head by the two hander in front of me on my team

Some NA clan should just all pile into the server and get it running, that would fix it.

[BADPLAYERold]

All of LLJK did that and we got around 20-30 people in it, but it soon died after we left.

gotta be running small maps with a tight rotation in order to grow the server.  this is like admining 102

I don't know why the devs decided to keep the same sophisticated fancy smancy European naming system.  We're Americans dammit, how are we supposed to know NA_cRPG_2 means "Siege Server?"

granted the name sucks, but l2filter games by game type

Yes as people said people are lazy. Usually people already goto servers on their favorites which probably most NA'ers had the ATS one on already. Also Digglez I can't stop looking at your avatar it stares in to my soul.

I mostly always play on the ATS siege server, even though I don't like all of the maps, primarily because of the good admining.  There are rules, and admins who pretty strictly enforce them.  Most people playing there know this, and know they can't get away with BS - intentional team-attacking, extreme trolling, etc.  Kick/ban polling is most always turned off, so none of the pollspam I often see on the official EU siege server.  I also very much like that construction sites aren't tolerated.

So all in all.. it's been a pretty consistently pleasant playing atmosphere on the ATS siege, so I simply don't have any reason to switch to some alternative server.  Is there something better about it?  I'd need some inventive to change when what I already have is working just fine for me.
