[Answered] what happened to the SCPSL server?

[carrollton]

I heard that there was once a SG SCPSL server and i was wondering what happened to it and if it would be a possibility to bring it back at some point?

We had an MGT a couple months back that @Acer hosted and it did pretty good. We had an SCP server at one point but I don’t think we’re looking to bring it back as of right now.

We used to have one with Extreme running it back in early 2019, but the population was always at a constant 0. This was a long time ago but I don't think SCP has gone up in popularity since.

@eXtr3m3basically bankrolled that server for SG. I remember talks of maybe getting in on the preferred servers on some new upcoming spc game but the people involved are no longer staff here so things fell apart.

i could be wrong here but im pretty sure SCPSL has gained over a thousand maybe 2 thousand daily players since 2019 (i know that sounds small but for SCPSL thats almost double the average player count from back in 2019) i know that doesnt mean it makes it worth bringing the server back but in my opinion its good food for thought

Yeah SCPSL has been going crazy recently and really hitting mainstream. As @gween said before the MGT we did, did really well. Most likely we'll be seeing another SCPSL MGT/Event in the future but I don't think it will become a server anytime soon. Then again who knows .

 

Do keep an eye out though especially when ever the next big SCPSL update comes out ;)

I played a lot of SCP:SL this year and there are quite a few full servers and a decent playerbase. It's a super social game and people get hooked pretty quick. Great for events imo, relaunching the server and establishing a server playerbase might be a bit too hard though.

i agree with that, SCPSL is a pretty hard game to have stable pop but the fact that its a free game and easy to learn maybe some people who have never played it in SG could see that we made a server and be interested to try it out just for the fact that its an SG server
