We need more full power admins.

Make sure to bring lots of med packs, our 64 player beach server is intense!

also i doubt the servers will ever have more options at this point.


They haven't learned the new maps since 8 years ago since the maps have been available. What makes you so sure these noobs will take the time to learn new maps when there are so many other games available? I believe the only reason why this server is alive is because it offers Beach 24/7, a very likeable, and easy map to play. If you were to put other maps on it, or start a rotation, then the simpleton players will just leave because they are playing a map they don't like. Similar to why I stopped as well, except opposite.

Although I wish it to happen to play again, the server admins would be going in the opposite direction to maintain its player base.

Ganja Palace Server was changed over to ETQW the community still wanted to play, get the facts right Parrot or simply dont comment on what you dont know. Sorry Cateye but the majority like different maps occasionally. Stop being biased and look at the real figures whether you like them or not. Liquid while I agree about playing same map over and over constantly I refer you to the name of the server. I too became accustomed to different maps and thanks to the admins that do it but if I get bored with beach then I leave.

Server works the way it is and continues to thrive, leave it alone

Not sure why you're getting all hard-ass on me, Gamb, because we agree: I think occasionally cycling maps is a good thing, and I do it quite often when I'm on. Did a rotation of Axis Complex, Dam, Castle and Chateau last night, even. We also agree that the server's continued success despite Wolf being such an old game is precisely because it caters to as broad a range of players as possible, and remains fun for even non-gamers/"noobs" to play on... and that means Beach map most of the time, because that's what the majority enjoys.

that might be a part of it, but i think it's more to do with the large number of server slots and shrub since the noobs don't have to download anything. for these same reasons happy penguin is still alive.

I don't get why you guys think a map rotation would kill the server. Has it happened before?

Yes rotation has killed server before, or so I am told. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

There's the key line here. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The server isn't going to cause Wolf to suddenly become popular again and it's user base is very small while probably gaining new users ever so often. The server already has enough players to fill it up on a consistent basis to discourage any type of full time map rotation. Besides, we come back to the title of the server and yet people still to this very day rant and rave about it. Get over yourselves and go play Half Life, Counterstrike, BF1942, Halo, COD or whatever else if your dying to have a game with consistent map rotation.

As for some admins switching maps at times, that's cool and fine and can be fun sometimes, but I'm not partial to it on a regular basis.

For the main topic, I think a couple more full power (mature, responsible, adult) admins would be great to keep lesser mute happy admins in check and to flip maps on occassion if beach is becoming excessively stacked.
I'd like to thank MAA for keeping this little piece of wolf history alive so we can all enjoy the game for as long as economically possible or interest allows.

Well no shit. I didn't realize trying to get a map rotation was an attempt to revive a dead game. Just trying to spice things up for the few of us who still like to play this game.

It's exactly because there's so few people playing this game that you guys shouldn't be worried about trying a map rotation. Do you really think the 50 people still playing this game are only still here because you keep the server on Beach? Come on.

This is just silly. So you think that people who want a map rotation are elitist gamers who all think they are better than you or something? Beach =/= RtCW.

i enjoy map changes but tbh I don't know if a rotation would work but the admins changing maps is nice.

And I think one reason the rotation worked so well on ganja and smokeherb was because it was oltl <best way to play, and you weren't there for however long the timer is, oh and the obj was to kill not to move things.

Gib baby Gib!!!!

why not just add a map like smokers beach/herb beach. Then the beach nubs would love the server more cuz it would be a bigger and better version of the current beach map.

rotation is nice in some cases imo. Ice is a garbage map.
