Hi guys and girls!

 

I realize that some may consider this source and that's okay. I'm not here to accuse. Just get a feel for things.

 

On Wednesday 4/22/15 about 9pm EDST the server crashed...and I noticed almost complete turnover of players. Admin (angry) gone many top players like hilly suddenly gone. It was weird! Went from 36 players to 20 for a whole map.

 

I am curious what happen in the crash...and why not only players are gone but admin and top players. I also noticed a big change in "game play". I realize there are a lot of factors involved...but hoping you can provide some insight. Am willing to listen and learn. THANKS!

A server reset happens periodically and can't really be prevented because the game was never properly updated as time went on.  So the server resets to the same map which noone wants to go thru again so they leave in droves, l do too.  Unfortunately, about 75% of the time there's no game admin on board to reset the server and go on to the next map.

Thanks renlist. I would think a crash would attract admin. Especially when they were playing at the time. Oh well.

  MoonGamers is recruiting for more game mods and admins, but it's a slow process, and rightfully so.

  I'd agree with a portion of the reply.  I feel our staff is sufficient and a small team of veterans serves us better then newly trained volunteers.  There is more to cope with post gamespy shutdown.  Applications are open but there has been no 'call for new applicants that I am aware of.  

  

  I'd also reverse that %75..   %75 of the time the server crashes there 'is' an admin present.   He or She may be behind the scenes untagged but nevertheless present.  In rare case when was is not, a good portion of the player-base knows how to reach an off duty admin to move the server forward. 

 

  Some crashes are to be expected.  We can take action to keep them to a minimum.  Unfortunately..  we also fend off attacks on the server and are not always successful.  Sometimes this can cause a period where new players cannot join.  You may have experienced this.  

 

   Our players working with us is the best thing.  Know that we will be there trying to keep things running as smooth as possible and take actions that also benefit the server.    

 

   Players can avoid team-stacking, or switch sides when one side is far too strong. This is good to keep in mind after server crashes and early morning / late night.   Crashes..  hurt, yes.. but an infusion of loyalty to the server helps weather those storms tremendously!

I'm talking 10:00PM PDT.

 

I suppose during peak hours an admin is present. 

 

Kindly set an alarm that alerts all admins 24/7 so you all can see to things.   OK?  

 

Make it the first thing you do tomorrow.   

 

Thanks a million.

Thanks for the response posi. 

 

Very sad that "attacks" happen. Sheesh.
