Hello everyone who's reading this, first of all I'd like to tell you smth, it's all about how do I miss a good activity and good servers on 1.07. For sure, you may remind me that SS SE is 10 years almost old game, but we shalln't discuss about this right now. I wanna start a discussion about other thing which makes Sam dead and makes good player stop playing. Also I wanna let my opinion be completely open, and I'm pretty sure some others who still care about Sam have the same opinion. Ofc this talking is about DM servers only.
Let's take a look what happened to 1.07 Sam at last ... 1 or 2 years ?
It's full of noobish servers like "ALL THE WEAPON", or "ONLY RS SNIPER MAFIA" and everything like that. Admins even can't understand they destroy the original gameplay with these new kind of "servers".
Let's check what the going on on the server lists on 1.07 right now (0/16 is everywhere cos it's the night right now):
WHAT THE F**K IS ALL OF THIS ? Every server for every map ? Strict and not strict ? For what ? Cannon only with map's vote ? SERVER WITH A CANNON ON LITTLE TROUBLE ? Few more servers for every (again !) map with ALL THE WEAPONS ?
Also about 24 / 7 SaaD server, for what is necessary another standard (at least thanks it's standard) if there is already 2 Figona Servers, SGI, Gamezone The Only One ? I'm pretty understand about server with a pups, though this shit shouldn't even exist ...
Untouchables Shotty ? For what if we have Figona ST where all the people are used to play ?
Since Ostap is owner of all the servers I'd like to ask something: is this your hobby to own servers ? I can understand people have hobbies, but are you able to understand that your servers kills Sam, do you know what proportion is ? In Sam proportion is: Sam must has 5-7 servers hosted max, on every version, cos there are not so many players, it's not World of Warcraft.
Let's imagine [in my opinion] how the perfect Sam (1.07) list should look in 2012:
Okay, IT WOULD BE EVEN MORE THAN ENOUGH NOW !!!Code:1. One or two servers with every of standard maps. With normal or hard diff, I've stopped care, and probably with a vote for maps. Probably one without cannon / pupses and second with, to involve noobs. ; ) GZ The Only One is perfect for this, or let keep Figona as second. 2. One or two Shotty Servers. I mean Shotty Trouble server, Shotty Complex ain't popular anymore, though you can put two of these maps on the server, would be ok. 3. Server with every standard maps hosted in USA. Specially for American players who wouldn't be able to get a good ping on Euro servers. We've already got LE server hosted by Marz :tup: 4. FUNFUN like server with only RS and cannons. Specially for noobs :P 5. The only one server with all the weapons with ALL THE MAPS. If people love this, let the one server be alive ! 6. Sniper Trouble server. I've seen people having a fun there, so let it be ! 7. Noobzland-like server ! I mean only Yodeller and only serious (or at least hard) diff. Also because it was pretty famous. Ok, we've got Untouchables Yodeller already :tup: 8. One 1 vs 1 server with every small map (including ST, either !). I'm not sure about it but ...
Look on 1.05 servers list, it looks almost perfect And you can meet there empty servers at night only, when it ain't a night, servers are always with 8-16 players on everyone of server ! ... Except of SGI 1.05 cos people prefer Ss.Ru on 1.05.
Less servers = more players per a server, is it too hard to understand ? ...
So ... I persistently offer to Ostap close most of your servers.
Strict servers: remove everyone, cos we already have got GZ and Figona ;
Non-strict (unlimited frags/time): remove, stay only one server with all the maps ;
Yodeller (knows as Untouchables Yodeller): I guess stay ;
All weapon: remove, stay only one server with all the maps ;
Cannon Only: turn this to RS only.
Well, IT WOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FROM YOU.
I wanna hear opinions, so I've decided to make a public vote.
See you and forgive me for my long post with primitive english inside.
Nothing personal to you Ostap, but your way of hosting servers ain't correct.
