Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
i've read bat and flamins comments, stating that no one goes on the server much, so i thought i'd start an opinion thread about the map pack issue
i've noticed that when all the maps were enabled, the "traditional" server style, i saw around 7-9 ppl in the server most of the time. but when the map packs were enabled, the server was mostly dead each day. i, for 1, don't agree with map packs, cuz we can't play teh maps we want, but i don't disagree, cuz it fixes the map download problem
i've started this thread to get everyone's opinions on the map packs, cuz i want to know as to why the server is dead all the time nowadays. if you agree with the change, why aren't you on the server? if you don't agree, state why in this thread. is there a different issue that's keeping u away? hopefully we can get answers to teh dead server
admins- this is just an opinion thread from other interstaters, not a thread just stating that i don't agree with teh map packs
in fact if theres one reason why things get quiet, its because theres hardly a day that passes without some major negative comment from you on the site.
You write a pretty good case... it sounds plausable.. but its bullshit.

I like the idea, people can't really say "Bah maps are long to download" and shits
What I think we really need is IS 1.82, where every map is included and where there won't be custom maps to download for a while. Those who won't be in the mappack for some reasons (Like Project, because that music is fucking annoying) will just be scrapped and lost in the deep caves of the internet.
Sure weekly mappacks are nice, but we really need like a 1.82 with every map included so we don't need to download 5 times the size of the mod in separate maps. No need to improve the mod, this will be for 1.9 or even IS Final. An update would also bring people back to the mod and they'll be like "Oh yay ! I don't have to download one billion maps anymore"
well.. the poll showed 8 - 5 for map packs... so although not an incredible display of confidence.. it seemed to show it in favour.. so it stays for now.

Ye I'm with you, i don't agree with the map packs, I liked before when we could vote for the map we wanted to play... Now there are only few maps...
I'm sorry but I think we should go back to how it was before, the ""traditional" server style" as slick said !
How about this,
Make the "standard" maps in normal rotation, and map packs available through remote manager or player voting.
That way, everyone can play. It seems to me like the server's population is so low because the variety of maps limit new people. Or, at least people who don't care to download any maps.
I would much rather see a server full of action than a server full of maps...
