Hi, I have noticed once again that the player limit has changed again on the DOD server. The weekend it was maxed at 18/22 and today it's 15/18. is there anyreason to why this keep's changing ? I could'nt play all night.

My other question is this, What is that map Anzio doing in the rotation ? That was the map that killed TVB IV imho.. So here is a poll-

only two maps for a rotation gets very old, even three gets too repetitive, i think we should have 4 maps, and as for Anzio, its ok but better than playing same two maps over and over again

I don't mind playing Anzio and i agree playing avalanche and caen2 gets old fast. I think maybe 4 or 5 maps should be added keep the three that are on there now and add something like ramelle and any other map except overlord and thunder.

This is the server map rotation.

Map Rotation: avalanche, caen2, zafod, ramelle, thunder, schwetz and heutau.

I guess something got mixed up somewhere sometime somehow. Anzio thumbs down.

1st of all.. its TV IV

not VII. It is down cobra. Its 4.

Its been at 18 max.. that is 16 reg and 2 reserved. It has also been this way for over a week. It was never at 15. It was at 16 for awile before.

If you visit the site or are looking at whatever progam you use and see 15/18 you better move fast. Most likely someone will jump on before you to make it 16/18 and if you don't have a reserve slot you'll get the "server is full" message. You have to be patient.

Well.. As far as anzio. It's really a split all the time some like it and others hate it. The 3 maps of Anzio, Avalanche and Caen2 has kept the server running great the last few weeks. So I dont really want to subtract any map at this time but I will add for more variety.

I constantly watch other servers out there to see what maps are working. For instance Caen2 and Avalanche are the most popular maps. Anzio is 3rd and actually it holds half the popularity as the top 2. Then ramelle, zafod and heutau drop to half as popular as Anzio. Then the rest drop even further. I use the all seeing eye program and www.theclq.com to judge what maps work best out there.

My goal is to keep that server full. I would love to have many maps, but.. its the rotation that makes or breaks servers. We also want to keep the regs happy along with getting the public players in to hopefully visit the ville and become a regular too. The only way to keep both happy is to have a nice full server to play on imo.

I have tried some different combos of maps in the past. I had Zafod in the rotation a few times. But it seemed to clear out the server after awile. Mainly due to the darkness and some players monitors.

I can try ramelle for the first time. See how that goes. I just hope now that the server has matured it will hold the players through the night or ill have to remove it.

If it works.. Great! Maybe we will add a 5th.

So.. we will try this rotation:

Caen2
Ramelle
Avalanche
Anzio

Blue :

The server page has been wrong for awile.
