Knife TDM: okay, we get it, so this is the original one, but does anyone actually like these
Yes, they wouldn't be on the top of the server list if nobody did.

This is a game

Games are meant to be fun

If it is not fun, it is not a good game.

Fun does not, even slightly, require quality.

They're on top of the server list because many people are not interested in new things they haven't tried yet.

EDIT: Why did my post just merge?

I think we have different definitions of quality over here.

Quality = Appeal to the eye for port
Quality = Solidly built and reliable server for Firecycle
Amirite?

Correct on my part.

Correct on my part.

I can see how a server requires a high uptime to be fun.
Not.

With reliable I meant hosts not being a huge cunt flinging stuff around.
But that might just be me being wierd.

Ooh, got me with the "Not" card!

Fun can be many things, in some rare situations it can even be what you mentioned.
Fun doesn't have to be top-notch extremely perfect. In fact that usually makes it boring.

Wouldn't "Fun" be among the traits of a Perfect server?

It gets boring if the fun keeps coming from the same source all the time.

Servers that are fun -

Servers made for building, where the admins are cool and they make sure there's no spam.
Servers made for death matching, where the admins are cool and they make sure there's no starfishry. The build is fun, diverse and interesting.

Servers that are not fun -

Servers made for building, where the admins are stupid kids who are: afk, don't care, and/or are starfishs.
Servers made for death matching, where the admins are stupid kids who are: afk, don't care, and/or are starfishs. The build is unimaginative*1, too big/too small and/or is overused.*1
Servers made for city/family/jail role playing because every admin is a stupid kid who is: afk, don't care, and/or are starfishs. Blockland is simply not suitable for role playing, it has not been implemented in a way that works yet. The only players who find these fun are kids and kids are not fun to play with. (Unless you're a priest, [insert drums])

These are facts based on what I've seen, and my experiences in game.
There is NOTHING fun about a stuffty server full of stuffty builds with stuffty spam and stuffty admins. NOTHING

*1 BF3 in the title, COD: MW in the title, Afghan DM, platform DM, etc.

A quality server can be fun, however quality does not guarantee fun. Excessive quality can actually decrease it.
