TOPIC: The ZARP TTT Debate!

We changed the minecraft map to Mix3rz's edited one and we lost most of the players. Changing it again will kill the server.

The current server has a very good player base at the moment, with it near full/full at times. Changing maps could have impacts on the server which may take along time to fix and save it. As the others have said, the server was brought back with the introduction of 24/7 Minecraft thus no change should be taken at the moment.

As R-Flex also mentioned, we had a huge hit to the player base over the Christmas period.

The sad part is 24/7 minecraft has been denied so many times in the past.. turns out it was the solution to making the server WAY more popular. But now you want to ruin it.. nahhh....

Considering this thread is here I'd like to say a few things. Firstly the vast majority of the servers popularity is down to the current map. Most TTT players will search specifically for the minecraft map. This map is the main contributor to the servers popularity. If this map was removed it would have a detrimental effect on the population of the server. Changing that map would kill the server and be a stupid idea. After all the hard work that has been put into that server to remove that map would be an awful idea. Finally there are no other maps that even compete with minecraft in terms of popularity, so evidently it would have a negative effect on the server if it was to change map.

Anyways. Although i believe that 24/7 Minecraft gets boring after a month or 2, this is what saved the server. People apparently love this map and with the unique features Zarp has to offer, they fall in love with it. In my opinion it should stay as it is for now. Also this poll should not be removed. It would be nice to see other people's opinions about this topic. If this poll gets 90% Yes 10% No or something we will definitely discuss about adding more maps on TTT. But that's pretty much impossible imo...

As many people have already said, Minecraft map = popular.
On top of that, it is also annoying as all heck to have to wait when the server changes map (I personally do not have this issue, because my internet is amazing, but I know that people like Luan with bad ping take ages to change level on other ZARP serversO

Like everyone says. The current TTT server won't change maps. The only way we could be changing maps on ZARP TTT is if they would add a new server.

If Zarp is doing 24/7 Minecraft, maybe we can add some other minecraft maps and not just the ttt_minecraft_b5. Doesn't have to be non-minefraft maps I guess...

I'd rather play b5 compared to the other minecraft maps that are available.

I don't know what I'm on about now because I'm not active on TTT, but didn't Mix3rz do an edited version of a Minecraft map and the server lost popularity?

I said Yes.

Democracy states the majority wins, yes wins.

I mean if the server is almost full at all times it should have more votes then 18.

I would love new maps as I played with multiple maps on ZARP on the TTT server a year ago but the truth is minecraft is so popular that its the only thing keeping it alive at this point. Its sad but true, and it'll probably never change again.

So, This is a good idea...But. And I must admit its a good one.

Changing the map will cause the server to be a ghost town, When I remade the map with massive amounts of bug fixes and a complete new redesign that went really well for christmas, But due to the name change it made the players who find the server by the map name caused us to lose so many people and it will make the server like bhop (not trying to say that server is dead, but its a very low standard for us here at zarp)

Now overall I think It would be a nice way to get old players back like myself as I left that server due to the fact that the map is very boring and very stand alone.

cm said no lol

Only if i get to roast people

50% of people are getting this wrong! WE ARE NO CHANGING THE MAP WE ARE MAKING IT SWITCH BETWEEN 2 MAPS SO IT WILL BE MINECRAFT (2-3 HOURS LATER) SWITCHED TO DIFFERENT MAP (MAYBE ANOTHER MINECRAFT ONE)

:)and you get to roast people

That's the point. Even with other Minecraft maps, ttt_minecraft_b5 is the most popular and by far the best map. We had the one Mix3rz made over Christmas (still a Minecraft map, just an edit), and it lost us a lot of popularity and made us have only about 12 players on at a time for a couple of months after. Now, after setting the map back and having some time for people to find us again, we have the server being usually full.
Changing the map causes the server to lose popularity, since the majority of people find the server based on the map ttt_minecraft_b5, and it is a map that people enjoy.
As I also said before, a lot of people have bad ping / bad internet, which can mean that they have a lot of waiting time if the map changes. Personally, if I went onto a server, after waiting ages on a bad connection just to get in and as I came on it happened to be about to change map and I was subjected to all the waiting again, I would just leave and find another server.
