And, with that, a new thread is born.

List during the week, delist at the weekends.

[Fj45]

...would the ten or so people for staying listed mind stating WHY?!

This.

THIS.

 

List during the week, delist at the weekends.

THIS!

 

SPECIALLY AT THE WEEKENDS DURING THE EVENING DAMNIT.

 

Also unlisting at the weekends will make us lack players, turning most of the rounds into skeleton shifts with less than 10 players. Being delisted 24/7 will just turn Para into Sigurd in the long run (not like that's bad, but i believe there is people who want more than 20 players average).

 

[MarkvA]

We've already lost some players recently (which isn't that major, but we're not on top anymore, and I'd rather not see that number drop any further), and I still don't believe our dedicated community (actual community members, not random people) is large enough to sustain the server.

[Spacemanspark]

Reset the poll with better options.

[Plotron]

 

I don't need a reason to vote. So I voted.

 

EDIT: making that sentence dark red won't make me state my reasons.

Ermm, I am not common with what "delist" means...

[Streaky Haddock]

You know the byond server listings? We can change it so we appear on there, or don't. Meaning that only people who have paradise bookmarked/linked to them/have it in 'last played' can join.

[nachomeep]

Para does not have the community for that, the majority of all the people on the server are greytide at all times.

[Streaky Haddock]

 

I'd say about 60% of server pop is regulars. We open the server during weekends to the public to get people interested in our community. Close it over the weekends to increase the quality of our community's population by culling the shit and educating the redeemable.

 

We totally have the community for this.

 

[nachomeep]

I see maybe 15 people I recognise normally, 25 greytide, and the rest are good-ish.

We more then have the community to delist. Only for short periods though.

 

[veganzombeh]

As much as I'd like the greytide to cease, I'd like the server to not fade into obscurity more. But yeah, maybe delisting briefly during the peak hours wouldn't be the worst idea.

[Plotron]

 

We hit the peak of about 100 players in the last 24 hours, I think.

 

Unlisting during weekends is a good idea IMO.

 

[Spacemanspark]

We seriously need to delist on the weekends. Waaaayyyy too much griff and only two admins.

18-7 majority for delist at weekends compared to list all the time. Nobody apparantly wants to delist permanantly or list at weekends.

How is this server obscure?! We are at the top of the list extremely often.

It rapidly becomes very obscure without the hub listing, last time we delisted I think the average was below 20 players on a week day, and rarely any more than 40 at peak times, it was a ghost station.

 

[Fj45]

Well yes, but that was after we delisted for more then a week.

[Fox McCloud]

 

Well yes, but that was after we delisted for more then a week.

 

Yeah, and we were still hitting 50-60 players during the day time.

 

It was really only night-time that became problematic (where we would dip down to 15-20 sometimes).

Yeah, maybe with my aussie timezone I get mostly nightime rounds.

 

[ZomgPonies]

I think fixing the problems with the gamemodes, and continuing to optimize our gameplay to allow support for a larger playerbase is the way to go. I am categorically against delisting except in the most strenuous of circumstance (100+ players with only one admin on for example).

[Fj45]

Well, the problem is, its impossible to properly balance the game map wise for high pop AND low pop. See hardsuits and the cloners for two of the big ones.

[ZomgPonies]

 

Solutions:

 

-Make cloners buildable.

-Have a high probability 'random' event that triggers when the player pop is >75 that allows hardsuit (or softsuits or whatever) crates to be ordered from cargo?
