To remind me to post about it later. We'll need to figure out what we're doing here.
Ok, so what are the thoughts. Obviously the new version will impact footfall on the three servers we have, but at the same time we don't want to lose players and potential players to other sites.
My first inclination is to reduce our current server count by one (lose once of the vs servers) and bring up 2 for the new version.
1. Is that possible?
2. Any other thoughts?
Given that you can only have 8 players at a time, I don't think we will have a mass exodus from version 1, but would welcome some thoughts here.
People are buying it but unless there is a reasonable uptake I don't think it is worth running a server.
Looking at the screenshots I notice that they have got rid of the cartoony TF2 feel, making it more like L4D. :g:
If it does prove popular I think we ought to do as you suggest. Then if it turns out that the L4D2 server is busier than the L4D ones then maybe convert one of the others or spark up another, if the server can handle it.
:withstupid:
I know we're against the release of L4D2, but if the uptake is big in the community then we'll have to bite the bullet I suppose.
Hopefully by then the price will have dropped dramatically.
Still a stupid time to release a new game when they have only just released the DLC that rounds off the original storyline.
