The new server is absolutely marvelous

I love the smell of new carpet and paint.

Remember to remove your soiled shoes upon entering.

Thank you Moongamers. My Easter is complete...

Is the older Origin server gonna be retired? Having both seems as if it would just dilute the playing pool. Also, the number of players has dropped off drastically recently.

We're keeping an eye on it and yes, eventually. It's not dead 24/7, it still lights up in the evenings. Now would be a good time for a BF1942 disc giveaway...

Hit 64 yesterday I noticed.

Before the move there we're players seeding the some of weak hours on the Origin Server. It seemed to help some but even if you seeded all through the night and morning had population. Eh, it would die, and start going again around noon.

Origin is a way different dynamic. Yes players have some other choices in servers. Watching the popularity of some of those servers over time. I'd say the following is about the best we can hope for.

Overnight , 2am - 8am will most likely always be a dead zone. European players will go to European servers.

Noon - 4pm Should be target zone. Time to seed if it is empty, guide the maps if an admin is free and pop is low.

4pm - 8pm We want a full server here.


I'd also note that a high portion of the pop we did have we're CD crossovers.

I think we really need to harness the Origin only players.

CD give away , great idea. I'd pledge now but bank is in red, no cards to cover the measly $10 at d moment.

1 cd a month for 3 months , even better. A $30 sponsorship.

I have noticed that Origin and CD servers can be combined, is this not an option in the future ?

[posi]

On the 'free cd' idea. If we go with that, I can pledge to help. If we want to make it a gamers mystery box.. free cd plus + mysteries. I'm good for a couple of vintage Heavy Metal magazines (near mint or better, sleeved, 25 yr old or more ) + shipping. Dog tags and stickers would be the norm I guess. Tis what I have.

"Can be" and "should be" are two different things. First of all, if EA had intended this they would have made it easily available without cracking the code. They didn't, which means combining these two types of servers does things with the code that we do not want to do. We run PunkBuster on our disc server. We also run the expansion packs. We don't want to lose these things.

And finally, we run clean servers. We don't run cracks, we don't illegally inflate our player numbers, we don't do anything that is less than honest. We run ranked servers, we have had a good relationship with our host and EA for years, and we do not plan to tarnish it by doing something like combining the game types.

It's a nice thought, we just won't be able to run that kind of server...unless EA ever decides to bless it.

I thought I heard that the expansion packs would slowly work their way to Origin for free. I never bought the Secret Weapons of WWII (bought Road to Rome), but the demo map (Hellendoorn) from the Secret Weapons expansion pack was a blast to play, for awhile. I'd like to see lots playing it again, if only for awhile, on the MoonGamers Origin server.

If it happens that a surge of interest occurs and that MoonGamers Origin servers get populated again, that the founders treat their Origin server almost like a popularity contest (with Conquest mode ruling all) and rotate in a different modes or map outta the blue sometimes, but shortened times (25 min DM, not 45min).

Than again, it's not easy to make up the rotation, enlist admins, run the site, etc. Thanks right there.
As just a thought tho, why not run the CD server and Origin server with completely different philosophy s?

Perhaps keep the CD server map and mode rotations, and make the Origin server just whatever maps keeps the interest. This means a more frequent rotation and fewer maps in predominately Conquest mode). Also, a point to continuity, Invasion of the Phillipines or Guadalcanal or Kursk is just a total community buzzkill after having just finished a better map.

What I'm saying is keep one server as a tight group of maps on an always well populated server and the other one for purists. There again, one server type competes against the other for popularity. No easy solution.

I'd love to see a full MoonGamers Origin server playing the Hellendoorn map,for however long, I'll take it. Soon? Maybe? No?
