rotation server for classic maps

I've been getting the urge to play cs_militia (which is one of the oldest maps in cs, even before 1.6 I believe...

It's a great tactical map where players can truely display good skills (something most gamers don't have nowadays).

It would be nice to have a rotation server with a couple classic maps such as militia, aztec, inferno, etc - in order to get a

change from always playing the same maps all the time.


If you cancel 1 or 2 of your servers, or at least switch 1 to rotation (without paying for a new server) it will help you save on

expenses.


The reason for this is that most servers are mostly populated with bots - so if you have 5 x 32 player servers = 160 players

total, and most of them are bots (which is fine, but bots only cost money - they don't donate to the service or contribute

much to the community aside from being practice dummies :)).


By adding map rotation to at least one server it will encourage people to play so they don't get bored... So you will notice

more actual players and fewer bots, you can supplement this by also canceling an under-populated server (with a static map

- one which doesn't have map rotation) - or switch it to something which can attract more players (such as fy_iceworld and

other nicely designed custom maps).

Hi Jorg!

Thanks, man - that's awesome!

No idea how i didn't notice those servers before - but I can still give some advice;

considering converting a low-populated/static map server into a tournament server of some type; clan tournaments, cash

prize tournaments (cash prize tournaments can have a modest entry fee, even in internet cafes), etc - it's good

publicity :D

(cash prize tournaments need extra security, including constant admin monitoring)

Warmest regards <3

Hey guys,

thanks for your answers.
At the moment we don't spend time in changing servers.
We developed some new servers (BA_Jail & Hide&Seek). Should be enough for the moment :).

Our Vip-services are for free cause we aren't interested in deal with money on our servers. Also dont want to host some cash tournaments. Sorry forest :).

Have fun!
