2nd ArmA 3 Server

I say that they stay consistent with modes. The benefit here is 100 slots of TPG perfection. My 2 cents

The 2nd server has been moved to our Dallas box.

I agree. Different modes never seem to work out. One always gets favored over the other, and one always withers and dies.

So, why not try both and find out which one people like more?

Because that guarantees at least one dead server. Hosting different game modes for the same game rarely works out well. The only example to the contrary that I can think of was CS:S (AWP vs. No AWP servers). Not saying it isn't possible, it's just less probable.

We obviously have enough interest in the mode/mod we are running to warrant a second server. We already have a winner, so why change the ingrediants?

This. I have watched other communities struggle with this on the ARMA series usually they were running at least 2 or 3 servers with the most popular mission/mod and then another with tweaks such as veteran mode or first person or day night or whatever. They always wound up with the most popular servers always full and the special server never full.

IMHO if we keep an eye on what everyone is playing and adjust accordingly TPG will stay near the top in this series.

Wait, what is stopping TPG from just making both servers the same as whichever server is the "favorite mode" or whatever? Just find out which the players prefer and make them both the same.
