[Rejected] How do we convince YOU to play the server again?

[Elemental]

Exrev made a deal with the Devil here.

If he's not online on PB for atleast 15 hours a week, he'll be demoted. If he can play for 15 hours a week for 5 weeks in a row, he will get a 1-year subscribtion to Pornhub Premium.

 

That's taking care of things.

 

 

BOOM!

 

Demoted from RS?

Its not resurrecting, its just populating. I'd like to point out a few things. We can split our staff and focus on multiple servers without splitting populations. Most of the servers have separate populations. A majority of ZE people are randoms, which is great, but also means there are a lot of SG people left to populate other servers. Your theory only applies if we all suddenly only decide to focus on one server that isn't populated at all. Even if we did do that [which won't happen], ZE wouldn't show a steady decline, because as I said it maintains its own population of randoms. Let me explain:

 

Yesterday we had almost all over servers populated with people at some point, not a lot, but 10+ in each server, which is progress.

 

Prior to TTT being down a lot, it maintained a strong and steady population that did not conflict with ZE or other pops.

 

DarkRP is at least 15+ a day after school [lots of kids], and is full every day during prime time hours.

 

PB for only being up a few days [and still some tweaking to do] had 16 people yesterday without any events or "stealing" from ZE. That's really good if you know anything about the beginning of a server.

 

ZE does damn well on its own, we all know that.

 

I'm not arguing that ZE does well on it's own. And I'm also not saying we can't afford the manpower for other servers. What I am saying is that historically when SG pushes hard to populate one server other servers suffer. If that isn't currently the case that's GRRREAT!

 

I can't/won't speak about TTT, because I've yet to join and not have my eardrums broken so I stay away from TTT.

 

That leaves MG, which is being worked on population wise, and won't suddenly kill all our other servers / population by being populated itself.

 

I'm not sure were people are getting this false sense of idk our servers failing? We just transitioned to CS:GO on a lot of these servers, some more recently than others. I can tell you however, that population wise and progress wise we are on the upward swing, not down. This thread seems unneeded to me, but I guess its one way to go about things...

 

BDs/AOs/TAs/CAs and even a lot of SAs are dedicating themselves to different servers to try and make them all better, and just like we can afford the manpower to split our team up like this, SG has a maintained population to fill these 5 servers.

 

The only thing that has killed most of these servers is them being down/redone or crashing. All of these things are either fixed, being fixed, or being looked into.

 

Best bet at helping SG and helping the servers? Go play in them.

 

I'll be honest I haven't looked closely at the population of the other servers... On the occasions I have glanced at MG it's been pretty low. That being said maybe I read more into this thread than I should have. I know the only servers I play on are SG servers (other than the rare GG server, and only because we don't have one)

 

Every day I go to http://www.top100clans.com and vote from at least 5 unique computers with unique IP's, sometimes up to a dozen computers. We are sitting at 12th place and over 100 of the votes for SG came from me. If 1/2 of our active members voted once a week we'd be in the top 5.

 

If there is any way other than what I am already doing to promote SG I will.

How do we get people to play, or come back to play? Think about what made you stay here. I strongly suggest you guys to read this aswell:

 

When in-game try to use your mic to communicate, about anything. Tactics about how to win the map/game usually makes newer players understand the task at hand. It's always fun when you know what you're doing in-game. That is what made me stay, back in '08 with Z3r0 M4ni4c and the guys, they really did a good job at welcoming and showing people how to play the game mod. Also how cool some people were, the friendship and skills they had amazed me and I knew that the server was unique. I strived to become one of them, one of the leaders of the server. I'm not going to lie but some of those guys back then made the gameplay (ZE) feel like it was real life. How? Well everyone was scared as shit by zombies and the tactics they had were off the books, every round they really wanted as many people as possible to survive. Not to mention GrimExistence's alpha voice made everyone obey him lol.

 

Of course the cooler guys had their [sG] or SG.Reg tags on back then, and the server had an automized advertisement to join the forums, so I knew if I wanted to become one of them, I had to join. I remember though I got banned back then for wearing the wrong tag, I wore the admin tag^^ but hey, I was 13 back then! Got quickly unbanned buy the one and only LitKey who understood the situation, and he taught me all about the community and I really felt welcomed at that point. After all this I was like damn, this is good shit.

 

Moreover, how about having member of the month award? It will definitely make members want to strive for something. I.e. a reg wins member of the month because he was very active/friendly etc. Also top 20 players of server x this month/year.

i second this

[Punky]

Advertise on our servers to apply for member to wear a cool tag #> never forget. (gives some advertisement on other servers beyond SG)

Totally agree.

give an incentive for signing up on forum. I've played alot on an MG server on gmod and one of the things ive noticed is that the new player base will join and just get killed by the regulars that have the map memorized and not want to stay. nothing that can really be done about this jsut an observation.
