Public server

[Tygarth]

This has probably been mentioned somewhere before or whatever, but after that update by steam, the public ff off server doesn't ever seem to have anyone online. Just curious if its a problem on my end, or is the server actually empty a lot?

[zilong]

no one is playing there, so no one connects =P

[wihadmin]

I saw about 15 players on last nite. But it's been pretty dead in the Pub server.

Are you guys having problem connecting to the Pub server or are you guys more interested in the FF-on server? If the Pub server isn't really being used, then the owners will shut it down to save some $$.

[FiLTHY_SNiPER]

I'd suggest shutting it down then.. at least for a while.

[wihadmin]

actually, we'll be redirecting overflow traffic from FF-on over to the Pub Server. That'll help it pick up players.

[Monochrome]

thats kinda funny, ff on had to get redirects from public when it started, now public needs redirects from ff on :crazy:

i think it might have to do with the fact that you can still choose your team on ff on and u can't on public...

I just prefer the FF-on server, its more fun/tricky having to worry about if thats your guy hiding in the dark or one of them.

Blood is right. That is why I play the ff server. I dont like not having any choice at all about my team. I also like ff on better but the big reson is the auto team select.

i agree with you APOC... think it's a lot more fun with FF on. I've pegged a number of my teammates under the assumption (and an itchy finger) that they were the opposite team coming at me. Also, with FF on you can't just go lob'n a nade just for the hell of it... you have to check your radar and make sure no mates are around the corner/a head of you/in dat room. :D

WIHadmin - how about keeping pub alive as a flow over till BF2 comes out then converting it to a server for it?

We have definate plans for a BF2 server, you din't have to worry about that.

And by the way, FF is the only way to go. :thumbsup:

AMEN TO THAT BROTHA :thumbsup: :D

Again, just my nickels worth.

The reason that FF-ON wasn't initially offered, is because of all the "tards" out there. Now we have have a regular fan/player base and regular admins to keep the short bus people in check. :yaya:


Might try running FF-OFF for a while with auto-team disabled. I haven't seen FF-on getting too team stacked. And sometimes people just like to "spray and pray" :rockon:

And the redirect from FF-ON to FF-Off is not as big of a jolt as going the other way. There are MANY people out there that check for FF status by shooting the closet team mate :upyours: . Might help prevent some "inadvertent" spawn kicks/bans.

P.S. No disrepect to the owners. But, I hate the V.I.P. slot. It takes long enough for the game to load up, just to be kicked because I didn't have the V.I.P. :wallbash:

Do we have VIP status? If so wheres mine! I volunteered for that thing. :P

Anyhow, I think FF got popular really really quick becuase it started right after CAL season. Initially, I saw alot of guys from RCM-1 and 2 choosing to play there because of the trumped up challenge. Some guys like Monos would only play there too. Eventually the pub server guys wondered where the hell alot of the regulars had gone and the filtering over process began. I never see anyone on the Pub server anymore and love it when new guys log into our community with, " wait a minute?? FF is on??" Its a rare thing in Counterstrike to have FF on, but our exceptional player base was just ready to Move forward with our gameplay. Kudos community.

Once we turn on the redirection for FF to Pub, we'll grant the VIP passes to you guys that helped us test that system a while ago. :thumbsup:

I definitely like the FF-On server more than the public. I'm used to playing with FF-On more than anything else. I do miss the inability to choose teams from the public server though. That added yet another random variable to the game that made it more interesting, in my opinion.
