What does it take to make a successful server?

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

so what does it take for a server to become successful? by successful i mean being full nearly 80% of the time and having a pretty large regular base.

the maps are what bring the people in at the beginning, but what makes them come back? is it the admins? is it the level of competition? is it FF off or FF on? no vehicles or vehicles?

let's get a discussion going.

1. Kick anyone pinging over 150.

2. Kick anyone from France.

3. Kick anyone who says "gay" or "ghey" or any variant of it.

4. Perma-Ban every glitcher, padder or suspected hacker, and don't waste time chatting with them about it, or appealing it. Just ban 'em and forget 'em.

5. Don't add made-up rules of your own, like "no uncaps" or "banning for C4 jumping" - in other words, let people use the game as they want, within what is possible for them to do, except for glitching or hacking.

6. Don't use language filters - let people swear and talk trash, because they will anyway, no matter what filters you install.

7. Don't waste time with a TS server - use the ingame VOIP. The clanners will stay on their own clan TS servers anyway, and everybody else can just press B or V.

8. Even though I don't agree with this, it seems that the only way to make a server really popular is to do one single map 115,391 times in a row.

9. Encourage people to have chaotic fun. Doing crazy stuff online is one of the great attractions of BF2 - it sure isn't the realism.

10. Put random cleavage and bum-shots on the welcome screen. And flame-throwing PKMs too. And pints of beer. And angry skulls. And... well you get the idea.

$15 a month is damned steep for perks you can get for free anywhere else. I guess you just like being a whipping boy.

Anyhow, for all the whining you do about my constant diatribes about your clan's shadiness; you guys certainly do a lot of thread bumping. If it wasn't for you mercnet, this thread would've been buried under 40 pages of other threads, and dA! would've been long forgotten by now.

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

You still haven't denied that you pay $15 to be a whipping boy of doing Anal!

If you really want to distance yourself from Illusion. Why don't you do yourself a favor, and split from his homorific clan, and take all of your favorite clan-mates with you? Then you won't have to sit here an argue with me over the reputation of the doing Anal! crew.

Because we are the ones that run the server.

Illusion made the clan, he pays for it through us, but the server is where it is because of the members. Illusion has a clan because of the members.

That is why I will not leave my friends nor will they. We are the server.

I am not distancing my self or any dA member from him. I am pointing out that dA as a whole is not just the sum of illusion. It is the sum of all the members who day after day play there, pay for and administrate the server. Illusion can eat babies and stick red hot pokers in his *** for all I care. He is not the reason I am in dA, the entire clan is why I am dA.

Read into that what you want but I am a Made dA Man, plain and simple. dA will haunt you and infect your tiny brain to the point you are already at. Obsessed with Illusion and the rest of dA.

Have fun in the world you make for your self.

It's funny watching nerds getting their panties in a twist. And by the term nerds, I mean dA.

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

So we went from being 100% sure that he doesn't hack, to you don't care what he does?

I do not play with Illusion. He isnt on durning most of my play time. I play with Tiglath, Blueknight, STUNLA, Creeper, Gen.ChampJR, Krygy, Manhor, for the most part.

If you read carefully I said the people I roll with, but like I said I didn't come here to defend Illusion. He can do what he wants when he wants, so all your words come out, how did you put it, as a whine.

You like picking apart post, yet you only hear what you want him them. Why don't you read what is wrote instead of rewriting them to the way you want them. You have to be able to listen and understand before any is going to take you seriously.

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

Desperation...

Please go back to paying 15 bucks to be Illuzions muppet.

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

I do not know where you get your info, and I can not speak for ever dA member out there (yes some are better then others) but I am 100% sure the guys I roll with do not hack.

I didn't come here to defend Illusion, nor am I here at the request of him. I am here posting because I can, and I will do what I can of my own volition. That said I can careless what he does and how he does it.

So we went from being 100% sure that he doesn't hack, to you don't care what he does?

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

FMJ > doing Anal!

Illuzion once again contradicts the arse-tards in his clan by admitting to his cheating ways.

No wonder Tiglath stopped posting here. I guess thats the last time we see mercnet too. I wonder how many more mentally challenged minions he'll throw our way, before we humiliate them all. It's like whack-a-mole, only with tards instead of moles!

I didn't come here to defend Illusion, nor am I here at the request of him. I am here posting because I can, and I will do what I can of my own volition. That said I can careless what he does and how he does it.

The only one that is mentally challenged here is you. You are obsessed with Illusion. You can't stop talking about him. Most normal people would have moved on long ago, but you now have an addiction which you now must feed.

It is sad really, that you let Illusion have so much power over you. Congratz on letting a game and Illusion run your pathetic thing you call a life.

Tiglath stopped posting, becuase you are not worth his time. Frankly I have no Idea why I am even feeding your addiction. Fact remains though, you need professional help man. Seriously.

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

Wow... get a job or something man, you have waaaaaay too much time on your hands.

And no you didn't get to me. I post all the time about anything. It is what I do.

Actually you're right, you are greater then me because I fell for your troll trap and keep feeding you. Now eat your lunch troll and choke in glee that we give you the attention you need to live.

Pathetic.

Paying $15 a month to be a jagoff in a jackarse clan seems a little steep, when you obviously do it well enough for free.

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

You attack me to harm my credibility; because you realize that as a dA! member, you have none.

I've really said everything that I can say. Talking to you is like talking to a very stupid brick wall.

Anyhow... Let me reiterate what I've been saying all along:

Hah, hah. You guys will never be #1 because you suck. - FMJ's server > dA!'s server.

Hah, hah. Illusion got reset again for hacking. - Capt.HKS > Illuzion987

Hah, hah. You've let me get to you, whiner. - Dairuka > Mercnet

Wow... get a job or something man, you have waaaaaay too much time on your hands.

And no you didn't get to me. I post all the time about anything. It is what I do.

Actually you're right, you are greater then me because I fell for your troll trap and keep feeding you. Now eat your lunch troll and choke in glee that we give you the attention you need to live.

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

you are right, what more to say.

hmm except the defenition of cheat (have a copy and paste job - im fond of their expressness)

"to deprive of something valuable by the use of deceit or fraud"

aha - here we see that the term in itself shows that it goes against the EULA of the game and what that EA - nor any Multi-player game for that matter, do not condone such actions and have included a program (PB) to combat it.

superior to us? xD how?? rofl - hmmm if the thinks that EVERYONE should get cheats...and they do what kind of game is this. imagine a game comes out

Battlecheat 2: Aimbot Booster Pack - In stores now!!

where would all the competitive gameplay go? where would all the fun go? if everyone has the same cheats then really is it even worth playing, if its a game it shouldnt be taken so seriously and he thinks hes "superior" to us..in what way?

if anything he is inferior for handicapping himself by not showing us the "real" him, hmmmm something to hide perhaps?

is it so hard to play without cheats really? im sure it doesnt take that much of a human's brain to play the game to a satsifactory degree, so why is he and his clan struggling?

this leads to many issues :nod:

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

did he ever give a reason to why he cheats?

Indeed, we talked over X-fire over his cheating preference.

-------------

He told me, bluntly that he feels that those of us who do not cheat are losers because we don't cheat; and that he, who wins often with his downloaded skill, is a winner because he cheats.

Clearly we're dealing with a troubled and insecure mind that feels that he is not good enough, unless hes winning all the time.

-------------

He then told me that he doesn't care if people know that hes cheating; because quite simply, there is nothing we can do to stop him. Especially when there are plenty of stupid newbies to prey on, on his server.

Clearly his insecure mind has created a sort of 'bubble' of invulnerability to keep the nasty people who mock him (like me) from getting to his frail ego.

-------------

It's a sad case with him. He probably could have been a true contender if he only managed to keep himself off of the downloaded skill. Sadly, like steroids and Baseball, you'll always find that one weak-minded and loud-mouthed individual thats willing to do anything to get his 15 minutes in the spotlight. Even if they burn up under it.

He'll never stop cheating. Even if he did get caught and banned from BF2, he'd just move on to the next game. He is the mayor of loser-ville, and anybody with the dA! tag is a citizen paying a steep $15 a month tax to live in his fantasy-land.

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

lol ouch.

did he ever give a reason to why he cheats? or the furthest step he got to it was admitting it. i had a friend who used to hack in cs (lol i know that alot of ppl do there but it still doesnt make it right) but he told me in confidence and i did my best to persuade him that he can do better without cheats, and you know what he did stop later, and he said to me:

most hackers dont admit to being hackers, its like alcoholism - once you can admit you are cheating then you can stop...but obviously that doesnt work for everyone, which is a shame.

Re: What does it take to make a successful server?

Hes a joke, and he still thinks negative attention is the same as fame.

Thats pretty much how a child thinks.

I think we're one step closer to figuring out what truly drives cheaters. Perhaps childhood trauma? Maybe daddy touched him inappropriately, and mommy never hugged him. Maybe in high school, the one girl he had a crush on told him that she was turning lesbian because she was disgusted with insecure emo wusses like him.

That explains why he holds onto those pathetic loose strings of unimportant, yet self-involved ego-boosting feats and accomplishments.
