Thread: Regular(2nd) BC2 server?

i helped both servers prime last night. and for a bit both were full. certin maps i think kill the server sometimes like heavy metal. and it seemd to die last night on vanilla when we hit oasis rush. not trying to make excuses here cause well i'm neutral for one. though i am enjoying vanilla a bit more. but that might be something to look at also. from my standpoint i'd like to see more regs and more people on team speak its nice to play with familiar/skilled players and have a goal of collecting tags (still need bunni and bigags)

and another thing for some people its hard to switch modes and be less skilled/effective as they are on hc i think also does it have to be full hardcore or full vanilla? why not try a mixture?

Currently the way it goes is this....

Hardcore server starts out with 5-6 regs... Gets up to about 10 regs server fills and your left with 10 regs (roughly) and then everyone else is a non-reg. It primes faster because hardcore is the more popular of the 2 game modes.

Vanilla it seems has more regulars that play on it, because it relates more towards TPG's values of Teamplay.(im not going to argue for or against.... this is my opinion)
Not many non-regs are looking to play vanilla so it obviously primes slower. If Vanilla is going to succeed the Priming must take place.

A population of 10 on the Hardcore server will most likely be full within 20-30 minutes.. This is not true for Vanilla servers. Its not just TPGs server its all of them.. The playerbase for vanilla is much smaller than it is for Hardcore.

So what im saying here is that if there are non-regs joining up on the Vanilla server...... GET THEM ON TEAMSPEAK!! GET THEM TO THE DAMN FORUMS... GET THEM REGISTERED!!

The hardcore server gets a significantly higher amount of 'drive by' traffic , so it's easier to fill up than vanilla has shown to be. In fact it stayed populated for over 24 hours straight and a significant amount of the players during the day were not TPG members/regs. I monitored it while working via Procon most of the day.

Vanilla seems to be off to a good start though, not even a week and over 600 unique name visits while the HC server has over 15K.

Can we Get a Post On TPG.com's MAIN Page, This might WAKE up some Regulars that Don't Play BC2 And have forgotten about it.

Blee and i started priming about 6:30 EST, Snapped this at 7:30 EST



But before you start saying its a bunch of TPG HC regs..... heres the list of players (me and Blee hopped off for dinner, thats why we are not on the list.)



When i got on tonight, according to GT, we had 663 unique visitors to the vanilla server, as of this edit, we have 690.

We are pulling a new crowd, now lets keep 'em.

should halve for fourth the ticket count for heavy metal. Even with a full ish server and all 3 flags, that map took over an hour and a half, thats insanely long.

I agree. With Bunni.
