Stick with one server. That's all you lot play on. Save yourselves money.

I've gotta agree with Biscuit on this. We're having enough trouble keeping one server fairly populated. Our second server isn't getting attention. We could cut some cost off of our bills and just run one server. If some of the clan members don't like the settings at the time, we can find some other pub...there are plenty out there.

 

I also have something to say about Biscuit's comment on having a second server for those who don't like Hardcore, but still played on it anyways. I was one of those persons. Every time I would jump on Vent and want to play some CoD4, everyone was in the Hardcore server and did not want to leave ever. I got some offers to help start up the Normal server, but trying to start with just 2 people, as apposed to with say 4 or 6, just wasn't worth the trouble.

 

I wound up in the Hardcore server 90% of the time I've been playing CoD4 just because playing with people I know is just more enjoyable. All the chatter that goes on over Vent and in game makes it fun for me. I would join the Hardcore, even though I would complain and whine a lot, just to be with the people that make this game fun for me.

 

I really don't have thing to input here or say except let's just use one server. I think that would be our best route.

We don't pay per server.

We don't pay per server.

Well...disregard what I said then.

To Shotty - I call the shots as I see 'em. I saw that my suggestion was not at all even considered, but another idea was immediately taken up and put into effect. That's what I saw. Even from the outside looking in, it looks awkward. It may be selfish to point out that my idea wasn't put into effect, yes, but if anyone else had suggested something, and the same would have happened, I would have said the same things. It simply is unfair to take one suggestion over the other without trying both. They both have equal merit.

 

Also, I stopped bothering to join the Hardcore TDM server because changes were not put in place and people were displeased with the settings. With the proposed changes in place, we can only hope that players will be staying now. It's simply a matter of getting the server started and I imagine players will stay for a while and we might bring in regulars. That is, after all, what we want, isn't it? Public players to come play along? We aren't getting them in the HC Mixed server, so we have to try something different. We try something different, get feedback from the pubbies, and experiment with those settings and see what happens.

 

To Sharp - If you don't pay per server, then that's a good deal, but we really should think about focusing our efforts on populating ONE server (whatever the settings on it are) and not trying to please people with TWO. Honestly, what it looks like to me is that the people of TAC are just spread out and it's causing some amount of discontent. If people don't like the hardcore server, it's difficult enough bringing people out of it to play on the other one, because that's where all the friends are, so they just play the Hardcore server anyway.

you make some good points bisscut an d i feel it is our responsibilty to the clan to try to do what is best even if it means playing on a mode we dont like so i will help with stating tdm server. just dont expect me to stay once it is rollin:)

I played on the server for a bit tonight, it was MAYbE 4 people tops..4 of us were clan members..

 

I got bored and went back to playing my other server

It's not exactly fair to you guys to have you playing on a mode you didn't/don't like. The only reason I suggested it was because there was a server already up for it, and those suggestions I posted in the other thread were a sort of "collective" suggestion, from multiple sources.

 

My bringing those suggestions up in this thread was not a "QQ GIMME WHAT I WANT" kind of thing, it was to point out something that I thought was unfair. As said to Shotty - if anyone else had made a suggestion, and the same thing happened, I would have taken the same approach.

 

If you all want a regular server, by all means, go for it. I'll play with you all regardless of the server you're on. My only argument is that we've already tried it and no one played on it, so I think it's time to just try something different.

 

I spent some time and re-read over all this, and I do realise I sounded kind of childish and whiny. I do apologise for that. That was not how I meant to come off, and if you could hear my tone of voice, that'd be a bit more apparent. Furthermore, pointing out favouritism was NOT an accusation, and I hope you guys didn't take it like I meant it was widespread. I want that to be CRYSTAL clear. I was simply saying that in this case, it looked to be that way. So again, I do apologise.

 

Anyway, I stand by my statement earlier that we do need to focus (as a group) on populating, with both public players and clan members, a single server right now, be it the Mixed or the other.

 

With all that said, I'm going to sleep.

Excellent hard much time work there Sharp.

 

Not easy trying to please as many as possible. Frustrating as hell at times. :thumbsdown:

 

I can't afford anything for couple months, so not able to try COD4.

 

Hang loose everyone.
