This will never get any rep but anyways, you newskool newbies don't even remember but back in the days you had server named TWC Black (2008 - 2010 (?)).

TWC Black was in my opinion the best server TWC ever had, etproish jaymod server with some special maps and basic settings.
The server worked out, I enjoyed every second on it. Why?

Think about typical problems for example in ND or BG: heavy spawnkill, only english in main, walljump.
TWC Black worked out, because all that was allowed;

- Heavy spawnkill was allowed since recharge time of panzer, arty and support fire was longer, and I suggest spawntimes of 5 (attacking team) and 10 (defending team).
- Every language was allowed, you really don't give a sh*t about what others speaks in foreign language
- Put singlejump on server and allow walljump, just increase the recharge time of stamina.

All of you who says "But hey that's exactly what Beginners is" , f*ck off.
Anyone who ever played any other mods than jaymod or N!tmod has to agree with me, the hitboxes of Beginners are superweird and f*cked up. Also settings and rules are different.

I might be old-fashioned, but I miss TWC Black and would definitely play everyday on it if you re-make it .

I love that idea

Why not transform BG to this, or is it necessary that the beginners server stays n!tmod? I think a lot of players are craving to play Wolfenstein the vanilla way, as you described. You might have to take into account that an extra "fragging" server (which is a combination of ND and BG ) can result in a decrease of activity in ND or BG, also some members will switch to this server, and this may be something you want to avoid.

A HnS server is a good alternative, as it is different from the other servers. I don't think there are any active HnS servers, so TWC could take that spot.
However, having a stable activity the whole day might be a problem. I believe you can't have any bots in the server? and you cannot play alone of course.

The real question here is: why open another server?

You might want to open a new server if all current servers are full 24/7 (or increase slots), but that is clearly not the case. Simply based on the fact everyone seems to have a different opinion about "I want server x because it would be fun" means having it into another server is not an actual requirement. You could have it as a funserver and switch around once a month without accepting member applications for it though

Etpro public would be great

[Eru Chitanda]

ETpro public yeah

[SOMEBODYONCETOLDME]

ETPro public does sound nice tbh. Would probably get popular fast as well , klientpro's server blew up in like 1 hour.

Alright, we have this thread going for about a month now.

As expected the rather unknown/unusual mods like TCE, Eastfront etc. did not get that many votes.

4 votes and up got: Rotating the server through various mods; No Quarter, Etpro/Public and Hide'n'Seek/Infected.

The clear winner so far with 17 votes is Hide'n'Seek/Infected, followed by Etpro/Public with 9 and NQ with 7.


Lets talk about first and second place.
We already do have an Etpro Server, even though its not public. Is there so much of a difference concerning gamestyle if its made public, or is it just so that more people "could" connect? I know we have a few people who like playing Etpro, but all the times I have seen people hype about it and setting up teams and training times it was over very soon because either they lost interested or couldnt organize themselves or had fights etc.
Is Etpro something that needs a memberbase? How does a public Etpro server work? Is it needed that we have strict teams and training times or can eptro be played more casually? And most importantly, are all the people who voted for etpro (and ofc also the ones who like it but gave their main vote to sth else) up for playing a SHITTON of Etpro Public for the sake of getting the server active even though there might be little activity for quite some time?

Now about the winner, Hide and Seek. We already recently had something similar to the H&S experience, the infected mod server on christmas. Ive seen quite some people take a liking even though activity decreased again about 1 or 2 months after christmas. That might be due to the lack of advertisment, admins and especially due to the fact that infected tends to crash often.
The first question is, do you people want infected mod or H&S? If its infected, we will look into the mod itself and try to fix the crash-problem or at the very least reduce it. Ofc we would not have it in the christmas-version either all the time. Does H&S need a memberbase? Is it doable to put bots in that actually play? If not, how do we make a server active that needs actual players in order to be playable? Are you people who voted for H&S (and again also the ones who like it but did not give their main vote to H&S) up for meeting in the server, even though lowly populated, for a long time until its running by itself kind of?



So, thats the question we now need to answer in order to find out where to go with good ol' Ex-Sniper.

PS: Can we keep it pink though? *_*

Imo H&S is gonna be easier to get active/advertise. I doubt a lot of people prefer Infected over H&S. And yes u can make bots that play.

[drag]

Can more server advertising and arrange meetings truth on the server only 2 people member

And leave pink

[HamsteR!]

No matter what the final decision will be about new server, 4FT is ready to do some meetings/events/tournaments/leagues/etc
