OC3D Dust 2 24/7 - Bring Her Back

[Hyper]

Just been speaking to Jim tonight and I have came up with an idea.

Since the current Mill rotation has sat empty for a while Jim has took it down, so I put this idea across to him.

Why not start the Dust 2 24/7 server back up, transferring the ranks over from the old one and see what happens. As when it used to be up before the server problems it was really popular, then the server had a few problems, it was taken down for a few days and when it came back online it was laggy so I assume people removed it from there favorites.

Now me and a few others miss the server and want it back live so Jim says if I can convince him with some postive poll stats he will stick it back online.

Happy voting

...and for everyone that votes in favour, I'll be holding you responsible to populate it

:awhip:

I liked the dust2 server when it was active. Was also the first server I used to play on regularly and the reason why I joined these forums.

Not sure what happened but suddenly everyone stopped playing on it which I think is why it was changed to DM.

de_dust2 would be good aswell as some de_dust too

With equk on this, it used to be really popular, then died , then changed, would be good to see it up and full again. We all need to populate it , even if it means you play against a bot for a while, as most other people only join if they know there are real players on, sometimes you have to be the FIRST person to get on the server.

Usually once players are in it will stay busy. Very rarely do I play on a server with less than 4 players, it just is not as much fun.

 

[deathwish]

well i would play regularly

It died after the server went down for a few days.

I vote bring it back. Once you get 1/2 people on there it fills up.

 

[Hyper]

I think once its populated again, word will get round that its backup and it should be popular like it used to be :rocker:

Good thread Hyper. I agree, we need somewhere to play, see regular faces, pick up new members etc

The only reason it was had to populate again is because when it did come back it seemed knackered and every1 looked elsewhere for a server. I'd do my best to get it populated, I have tried many times to get the rotation server going but without success

209.172.63.126 is in canada i thk.

i got a dedicated i had zombies on but to much cpu load so running normal server de_dust starting map 600mins lol. Freshly setup so not tweaked real good. But witht his setup a 24 person game with 14 zombies 10 players no one had over 100 ping.

I love servers that rotate two really popular maps so i vote for it to come back - maybe with de_dust also

 

[Greig]

what about dust2/office

 

[mrapoc]

Sounds good to me - maybe a dust2 map all the time except users can initiate a vote (has to be 75% of the population agreeing) to change to another map

 

[BloomerzUK]

what about dust2/office

QFT

Dust_2 is a really good map, fun and exciting.. but it would be good to have a Office/Dust_2 rotating server, some indoor fighting will be cool.. Assault is also a possible option.

 

[PV5150]

I'm quite enjoying the deathmatch actually

 

[Hyper]

I dont think we should bother with any form of rotation, it didnt work at all with the current rotation map so why try it again.

Lets just stick to what we know, Dust 2 24/7

 

[mrapoc]

With a couple of maps to vote for just in case the majority get bored?

That's like saying the Jet engine didn't work first time, so lets stick with propellers

I agree - I'd love to see a D2/Office/possibly Assault - its different to the majority of servers, and therefore interesting...

 

[Toxcity]

I heart dust!

The rotation server OC3D had was already d2/assault/office/mill and no one even went on it. When there was people on it, they disconnected as soon as the map changed.
