I have requested a utility server for event planning. There was a day when you used to be able to use your own game to open up a server and host something for for a few friends. This is much harder to do without help and I realize this.
It is great that you came to forums to express interest. I also have a high interest in seeing events run in some limited fashion... recognizing fully the age of the game and the importance of a strong strong vanilla population.

Interest and/or inquiries have been voiced multiple times for events in , Galactic Conquest, Eve of Destruction, Pirates, and recently Parcours Challenge.

Pirates would be as good as place to start as any, with this mod in particular.. It would be my view that the event would do better hosted by team-simple.. we could send our pirates to a server they set up.


Parcours.. can be hosted anywhere as 'ping' is not important.


G.C. Takes a dedicated server and needs admin supervision. It would need multiple events, the interest in it is.. growing as the interest in the new star wars films grows.


E.O.D. Has a coop server running now.. a few of us have visited it. With a utility server, time and work... we could do grand things with E.O.D.

I remember Parcour being fun. Pirates is weird, the bullets are useless.

I have canned footage of some moonies playing on parcours actually..


I have a request outside of forums to film parcours , and there has never been a 'solve' video for parcours 2 .

The solve video for Parcours 2 is reason enough.. 6 - 12 people for that is ideal. Not all events require a huge population.

yea, parcour doesn't even need that many.

Although it does feel very santalandish outside, sans snow of course.

Sounds like a fun time over the weekend to have some adventures with the moonies :)

Hey Bullet, a mate of mine called Pauler has told me he knows of someone who does some events, there may well be a pirates event coming up too! I'll keep you posted if I hear anything.

A G.C. server has went up. I don't know who.. perhaps Blue Drake. I had pointed him recently in that direction.

His youtube channel draws a lot of attention to Battlefield.

Edit

I was correct, and have had brief conversations with him. It appears to be stable and running for those that have the mod.

I haven't convinced him on 'free cam' , review would limited.

There is a popular Video Review channel looking at the Battlefield mods currently. To the table , he brings 40'000 subs and an established group who will download in force to experience featured games.

I have been chatting with him and the players. In fact many of them have stopped by our vanilla server while they gathered numbers for their events.

This is a boost in population to many events we have talked about. Extra, people and video promotion of SW/RTR hosted right here has been talked about.

Whoever would like to join me, I intend on taking some time Saturday to boost events being hosted in Galactic Conquest and introduce new players to Battlefield 1942.

This is another grand idea.. Surely a parcours event is a 'one time event' that is revisited every few years. I mentioned to Jim finding a server that could host and show in the in game browser was necessary.

Are u sure? I can host the server, but if u want him to do it, that is fine ;)

Make sure to put both Parcours 1 and 2 in there
