Waking up BEGINNERS server (archived by The Master)

[N!ght-]

Hey guys,
Just having a few ideas how we could make our kewl Beginners server more active
First of all Meagain i think was the one who pointed the first point out yesterday night @server, that ND has allmost every night a situation where it gets full and crowded, maybe we should have a system that autoconnects some guys to Beginners server(Ofc every one if server is full) But maybe we could go a bit further somehow to get players to Beginners server..
We advertised it roughly typing 3 times in a row at ND last night, and one second we had like 5-6 players coming in a row, after just saying that Come look out our Beginners server, Cool map voting etc.. People were interested..
So we should start advertising it to them more often and in more places maybe
It is better to have both servers active and constant players, than 1 full and 1 empty, that way we can get both active and maybe move to our third server(ETPRO), Wich should be made public and also get some advertisment, it would be a success imo.. Just would need a proper moding
Wheres the point of having empty servers?
What you guys think

I like the idea of advertising BG when ND has a lot of players, maybe some kind of banner showing the following every 30ish seconds :

"Server too crowded ? Struggling to get kills? Try our fresh begginer-friendly nitmod server : /connect bg.twcclan.org"

A small problem though is that we shouldn't neglect other servers either, the best would be 3-4 banners in a row. Something like this :

"Server too crowded ? Struggling to get kills? Try our fresh begginer-friendly nitmod server : /connect bg.twcclan.org"

"Server too crowded ? Want to practise your headshots? Try our custom 1-headshot-1-kill server : /connect hs.twcclan.org"

"Server too crowded ? Want to practise your sniper skills? Try our fun sniper server : /connect sniper.twcclan.org"

"Server too crowded ? Want to practise your panzer skills? Try our fun panzerwar server : /connect pw.twcclan.org"

"Server too crowded ? Want to practise your tactical skills? Try our teamplay-oriented vietnam server : /connect vietnam.twcclan.org"

"Server too crowded ? Need some fresh air? Try our popular trickjump server : connect tj.twcclan.org"

The best way to get ND players into playing on other servers is always by asking them directly and using the in-game menu redirects though

Well I like the idea but as I noticed in the past there are alot of players that use play on Jaymod.

So they don't like Nitmod cause of the other settings/hitboxes are too much of a difference compared to our jaymods servers

So they come maybe one time or don't even stay for 3 maps

But maybe it's a idea to reduce the slots of ND and when the server is full. To redirect them to other twc servers.

Yeah could be a good idea to the banners

[Makez]

Love the idea.

[Haures]

yeah u did good work on advertising bg last night and got it crowded thanks for it

and slot reducing is good idea too i like it.

Autoredirect - Yes, we could give it a shot, tho I know that is gonna get a lot of people angry too.
Banners - Yes, the format Sky posted was perfect too IMO .

I like the idea with the banners. Idk about the autoconnecting though. Personally, I wouldn't like to have others decide for me which server I play in. With reducing the slots in ND it's a different story. I think it's a good idea to autoconnect them to another twc server when ND is completely full.

ND has 64 slots so.... its hard to get it full Redirect wont happen lol. The biggest problem on nitomod arent different hitboxes and settings but lack of players. It's normal that ppl are looking for servers with large number of players and you wont change that. Most effective way would be force members to play there :P although we got psa for that. Banners are indeed good idea but I would focus it only on BG server since you cant have it all and TJ server is doing great .

PS. I regret that bd server hasnt silent mod tho.

Sky gave a great idea wich we should press through, the banner system
And another point is that ND has 64 slots, the banners should start appearing as soon we got like 30 players at server? I wouldnt mind seeing them all the time..
And of course, at nights maybe WE(members) start playing more on Beginners and urging players to come there too
Anyways lets do something too, dont let these ideas rumble into dust
thumbs up
