I think it would be cool if there was a 24/7 dustbowl server. I know it costs money to run a server and that there are already tons of other 24/7 dustbowl servers but it would encourage me to particpate more with Darkly if there was a pub server

Years ago we used to have two very popular TF2 servers. A 24/7 PL and a 24/7 CP server. But those days are gone. Many times after that we tried a few more times to set up pubs, at the community's request and after we were reassured that people who play on them: only for the servers to sit empty with nothing but crickets chirping. :rip:

Oh that sucks T_T. Well if you guys would open up a new one I would play on it pretty much 24/7 except for trading or tf2 center lobbies or if I got bored. Dustbowl is one of my favorite maps, Im a regular on another dustbowl server with 5 days or so worth of time on it

We do pub/comp night once in awhile

theres usually a notice on the servers when it happens

Why don't we just open and publicize a Darkly pub Steam group? Get anyone who wants pub into the group and just make a private server (serveme.tf premium) when we want to play? If it gets enough people to succeed regularly, then we'd have a playerbase for a pub server. If not, then we still get to play pub every once and awhile.

I mean it can't hurt can it? And with more different type of servers the more people you will get on the servers meaning more potential donators, ect. I'd be up for it for sure

a) pub servers have been tried numerous times, all fails.
b) you can't have donators if the server is empty
c) 'potential' key word; we all know people are cheapos
d) lb worksh is ass of for the pub each time, and no one plays on it. no point in having the server

Yeah, the competitive server isn't happening anytime soon, but we make up for it with Comp Night. Unfortunately the last one failed because nobody was online at the time, so there wasn't enough people. Hopefully we can get another one running during the time more regulars on.

Well you need to encourage people to want to play on the server. The free premium after 1k kills thing could work. If people feel like they are actually gaining something by choosing to play on that particular server they will come back. 1,000 kills on a pub is kinda easy so maybe it could be like 10,000 or something.

Eh, it's easier to kill people on trade servers than on comp because of Instant Respawn, RTD, generally small maps, and less "skilled" people on at once. I think that the 1000 kills should remain even if Gatherix did make a server, but it would most likely flop again.

Well I think Gatherix's idea was a pretty good one. That way if a server wouldn't have a playerbase then it wouldn't do much really, seems like a good idea just need to put it into action now
