I would wonder why my server had 3v3's at 10:30 on a weeknight when it formerly had 9v9's and people waiting to get in.


Come on man.  Based on that statement you have to be implying that if we just changed our server to Nervous' specifications, that we'd have more visitors than we know what to do with.  

Apparently, the IoW server with very limited configuration changes since it's conception is just twirling into an abyss of irrelevance.

Before I begin this incredibly cynical response, note that this is based off complaints from everyone over the last 2 years.


How to fix the IoW server and get 9v9 again:

OK - we change the spawn time to 30 (default) for Axis.  All our players will return.

IoW members are forbidden from playing on our server, just to avoid the potential for having stacked teams for even a moment.  All clan members must remain in spec the entire map to avoid stacked teams.   All clan members must also become statisticians so that we can move the proper player who is giving one team or another a particular edge.   Gotta keep those teams balanced and fair for at least 90% of the map.

Oh, and arty - we have to limit arty so that it can only be used every 2 minutes.  Not fair to ever be killed by an arty shell, obviously.

Take away flak jackets and give engies 3 mines.  Players will be rushing back!!

Return medic promotion levels to default.  Look at all the players!

Change hitboxes to 31.  Too many players to manage now, server is full 100% of the time.

Fix "lag" and "choppiness".  Whatever that means.

Wait - roll back to 0.6.x Time to buy some more slots...

Hell - just upgrade to ETPro!   PLAYER BONANZA!!!!

And the grand finale - get rid of pride and ban anyone who plays selfishly for even a moment.



You realize how silly that all that sounds now?   

The only conclusion I can draw from "I would wonder why my server had 3v3's at 10:30 on a weeknight when it formerly had 9v9's and people waiting to get in." is that we've got such a fucked up server, that no one in their right minds should be playing here.  And we really need to make some changes soon (pick even one from above) and we'll back back to our former glory.

I guess at this point, the intent of this thread has been lost.  Say whatever you want now....
