As you can see from the news section, we've decided to renew the server for 3 months.

QuoteA lot has been discussed around the challenges and limitations of the game but we still feel that underneath all the issues there may be a dMw staple hiding away. We have decided to renew the server for a period of 3 months. With that said we are looking for a TGL for the game to really drive it forward and make sure we give it every chance of succeeding. GhostMjr has done a great job in getting it onto the map and invested a lot of time in getting the game up and running for us and with his ongoing focus on new games (not to mention exams - pah, who needs 'em) we need someone to step in.

If you think you are the right person for the job, send a PM to TL stating why you want the role and what your ideas are and more importantly how you are going to do it over the next few months. Now really is the time for action so we need people to push the game forward. Rome wasn't built in a day, but I'm pretty sure Billericay was built in 3 months, can you build Battlefield 2 in the same time period?

Now we need applicants for the BC2 TGL role please to drive this forward.

We've had a few comments that we *should* be kicking publics to make way for members and I'd like to give this some thought. I know it's not in our ethos but I'd like to have a discussion on it. So long as people are warned that it may happen via in-game messages then I have less of a problem with it. It's been rightly pointed out that there's little benefit in being a member otherwise. It may also encourage regulars (when we get them again) to sign up.

Any thoughts?

Actualy Pen, there is a message that says "You might be removed to make room for members"

I was merely pointing out that the server was full at 1.15 AM!:D

As Acid says, there is a server message that explains.
Maybe we should make it a bit more obvious/frequent?

We're about to roll over to a new rcon tool (Wolfcon) and we can sort more regular messages for sure. Personally as long as people are warned then I see no issue in using a VIP invite to bump the last non-member to join off the server to make way for a member. The messages we can sort and Valdeko provided a base config file to me just now which is now up on the server, when Wolfcon is installed and running we can then try to make use of things like this.

You see, that why you guys are paid the big bucks

I think it's a good move and we all know that it's frustrating not be able to get on the server while L33tHax0rroxor gets to play. It was (is) more of an issue when, like CS, the servers were totally populated by dMw'ers.

Coolio.

Server renewed with Multiplay for a further 3 month period from 3/6/10 as there were no strong contraindications and we know the Multiplay ping and even the room where their servers are hosted in Telehouse.

Let's make this work folks.
