As we know there have been added 2 new maps to the server. This is something I think we need to discuss about since the popularity has been dropped dramaticly. Yes, I also voted yes for the new maps, but now I think we might want to go back to the original NODOWNLOAD. I am NOT demanding the management to do this, i just want the opinions of all members about how they think of it. So
What do you think about the hole situation of the server

I have been discussing about this with dime and server popularity has gone down quite a much after adding venice. I think they also talked something about this in managers chat, or thats what i hope as I couldn't make there because of work. Well my opinion is that Supply didn't affect anyway to our server popularity but its venice which killed server. Therefore we changed venice already but it might be needed to take adler off too. Im hoping supply could stay but we gotta see what will happen. We should also remember that it is summer and everyone is playing less.
I dont wanna claim anything with this but here is my text at voting topic why we should have not choose venice to our mappool.

Im gonna vote adlernest for couple of good reasons which are following. Firstly, it is perfectly sized map, "only" 8mb which is still in boundaries to download even with say 1mb connection taking only bit over minute. Compared to venice which is 22mb (if i remember correctly) which would take maybe too long for not so patient players to download and would that way decrease amount of players in server. Secondly, adlernest is perfect map for 2on2 (as i have played it many times in etpro) but yet it can fit in perfectly, well maybe not perfectly, but good enough 16v16 because of spacious areas of map. This would be good if you compare to it any other map on that list except deli which would do great in 2on2 till lets say 10on10 but above that it gets kinda small. Rest of maps need atleast 5on5 to be any good and venice i wouldn't play not smaller teams than 6 and still would prefer atleast 8 on each and this way it always is not on our server. Thirdly, it has very nice objective which is easy to defend but yet easy to do aswell and we dont have any "run to do" objective maps on our server right now which would bring some missed variation and that way hopefully make our server more enjoyable to even more players. Fourthly, it is really beautiful looking map aswell! biggrin
I have no intends to affect anyone's vote but please do note before voting venice that it really is 22mb and that is somewhat large! biggrin Bur as i refreshed before posting this i noticed already 6 votes for venice so i will just hope it wont affect much to our server.
1 its vacation time 2 we still have the less popular maps running ( radar railgun and battery) 3 yes venice is to big!

idd its just vacation , and most of ET players that still plays ET got venice downloaded already ages ago ,,,, its jusst summer vacation and also still railgun radar are on the server , u guys think if u get nodownload that people will come more , look to UCE server its download and most of the time there are 20+ players....
Added (15/07/2012, 10:17 AM) --------------------------------------------- and ofc yea venice is very big map 20+ MB to download for new ET players
i think and hope its all bout summer too, and i dont think its good idea to make 2 servers, nodown and fast. Dnno bout takin those 2 new maps out, should wait till autumn mby..
venice is very big map 20+ MB to download for new ET players
the ammount of data to download on Venice isnt the problem. The map is to big to have a proper objective to match when its 6 vs 6. Venice needs at least 10 vs 10 to be fun.

maby an idea to have the fastdownload server + nodownload.
I think this will show which one people prefer. if we look at the popularity.
Seems like a good idea, you gonna pay for the 2th server?

if you'll add a second server you 'll see that it'll exasperated our players between the 2 servers. besides, we'd tried this be4. outcome: a waste of money. Btw that was during the busy period of ET.
just delete Venice for now and delete railgun radar and battery

I agree with removing venice. But not battery! I love battery! :] Railgun and radar are neutral for me. Maybe I'm just used to them, but I wouldn't be very sad if they were deleted.
From my (a simple jaymoder) point of view, venice and supply depot are too much pro-associated. Not many chances for cunning moves and outsmarting the opponent. There's too much face to face encounters for my liking.
We all have some maps that we favorite but most don't like. For instance I like Railgun, but most hate it. So this topic is not about what we personally like to see, but whats needed for this server and clan to make it into a time where this game is almost dying. And only a few servers will survive. Let #IA| be one of the few that'll make it!
