    What do you think of this rotation: Dragon Valley + Map of the Week?

    I've got a 32 man server, and I'm wondering what I can do to get it filled up. Right now it runs a full rotation, but that isn't working too well. I'm not a fan of making it 24/7 city maps or infantry only. But I loooove Dragon Valley. And the rest of the BF2 maps.

    So what is Map of the Week, you ask? Basically, in addition to Dragon Valley, the server would also run another map. One week it might be Dragon and Karkand, the next it might be Dragon and Wake. I know [UTAC] does this on their Armored Fury server, and I must admit that part of this idea came from that (there, legal issues out of the way =p).

    So a few questions:

    -If I do this, should it be 32 or 64 man dragon valley (the Map of the Week will be the same size, so pick wisely)? Or Maybe 32 man, Map of the Week, 64 man, Map of the week?

    -Would YOU play on this server?

    This is a high-quality, serious business 32 man ranked server. 64 bit. A guy from the UK got a 123 ping on it... and the server's in Dallas. That's the kind of ping a UK dude would normally get on an East Coast server (Dallas is in the middle of the US, in case you did not know =p). He said he had a bit of trouble TVing, but his infantry fighting was fine.

    This is serious, I really want to know how many people like this idea and would play it. I love having my own server that I can admin (I don't abuse it, trust me =) and I think this would be a great way to run a popular map and let players get out of the 24/7 Karkand Syndrome.

    Yeah, a good variety of maps would maybe make me play there.

      I'd say 64 dragon, but the map of the week size depends on the map.

                    123 isnt bad, I will give it a try soon, and see what my ping is on it...although I dislike both the maps, you seem like a good enough guy.

                      wheres your server located?

                      i think you should just have 64p Dragon, if you have to load imbetween the 32 and the 64... someone like me with 1 gig of ram wont wait 5 min for it to load..

                        How on earth did you end up with Mashturr city, ick. If you are going the air map route, you should stick with them, people congregate to similar map situations, so either go all air map, or city maps with no jets...

                          lol 123 is a stupid ping to have when playing games, its like running about in jelly and then shooting at people you get bad reg with laggy bullets.

                              idd say do this with 2 rounds of each

                              Dragon valley 64
                              Kubra Dam 64
                              Zatar Wetlands 64
                              Mashtuur city 64
                              Songuha Stalemate 32

                              (idd like to see OCS but alot of people seem to dislike it)
                              This should attract some of the people that are less focused on points rather then the point whores.
