Not because of the other server hosters, but because of the server and its quality. If your server is lacking quality, it will be lacking in players. --- End quote --- It's not lacking in quality. And it used to not lack in players. Like I said, I reached 32/32 players. People to today still say "Your jail escape was awesome" --- Quote from: zenloth on June 25, 2012, 06:51:24 PM ---It is up to the server host to make the server attractive; the reason people join these dedicated servers is because people enjoy them. Dedicated servers add a touch of stability to whatever world you are playing in. Take, for example, Badspot's Block Party, do you have an issue with that? That's a prime example of a dedicated server. There can be between 0 and 32 players but it keeps growing, it's enjoyable with very few or lots of players. If you host just another "freebuild" or "tdm" or anything generic, don't expect people to join unless they are your friends. If you want to host a tdm that people join, make a post for it on the forums, make a nice build for it and layout a good post about it. --- End quote --- I am not against Badspot's. I am just against the ones that are at the top 24/7 |

Personally, I feel that dedicated servers are necessary for a proper community, people tend to make more friends of the "regulars". However, every dedicated server crashes sooner or later, and it's often half a day before the host finds out and puts it back up. There's your time to shine. The thing people like about dedicated servers is, they can come and go as their schedule suits them, so a host who lives in Australia, for example, can still make a good server available for players in America and Europe. Every dedicated server I have seen has needed some work. There is one server that I have seen that was capable of true epicness, and that server belonged to Tomtom (aka Gambsy). Glass's server is half-assed and I usually play it because there's nothing better to do. the other TDMs don't have enough players due to the fact that players don't join TDMs that don't have enough players. So the problem is ironically self-causing. What it takes is getting enough people on initially. After you get the first few semi-regulars, the server will be more populated and others will start heading over. Unfortunately, unless you yourself can procure some method of 24/7-ness, your regulars won't be too regular due to fluctuating schedules. Me, I got the ideas. I've got about ten server ideas that have never been done before. The problem is, each one is missing one crucial mod feature that it would require to function properly, and nobody will make the damn things for me, so I sit in obscurity on single-player servers doing my own little thing. It sucks, I know how you feel. The most people that have ever been on my server at once was four, and that was cause I was hosting for someone else who had bad internet. But I'm working... working and waiting. (insert "...Soon." meme picture here) |

I hosted for the first time in a while last month, it was a mini-nuke battle on the slopes, dedicated minigame and in the slopes. I got 10 players in about 15 min and was about that for 30min until I shut it down. Not that hard to get players. |
