TOPIC: TTT - NEW MAPS

suggested it all the way back in September, if this is added i will definitely start playing again

HUGE support from me
Im personaly getting tired of the map, and feel like i have tried just about any strategies on it, making it a lot less entertaining to play.
I will personaly do my best to support this suggestion on the next staff meeting

I would like this since many staff resign because they get bored of TTT and the same minecraft map. There could be a chance of the new server with more maps to be underpopuleted but...

could you explain further why and perhaps when it might change maps?

You just believe that no one likes it but the statistics have something different to say.

Idk if you noticed, but people that play TTT said they would want this, just because they play the server doesn't mean they don't want more maps.

The Minecraft map is the most popular map since it doesn't have any errors etc. So they have 24 hour minecraft on this server so that more people will join. But if they had Another TTT server with other maps, I Think there would be an expansion of players.

If they had another server with other maps it would just turn out like the old TTT did, dead.

Although, maybe if the other server was advertised on the 24/7 minecraft server, maybe more people will join to get away from playing minecraft all of the time. I think that, assuming a new server can easily be created, it is worth trying out.

I think the whole forums should have a debate on a new map

LOCK, para said it wont be accepted.

I've considered reapplying for staff, but minecraft is my least favourite map this server had. But yeah, minecraft is the most popular, popular = players and players = money. I don't like minecraft personally but if it keeps players coming I don't think the owners would want it changed. I don't think adding a second server would be a great idea since it would only further spread out the playerbase. Oh and, most of the time I've been on, I've only seen 1/2 staff members on, so there wouldn't be enough staff for both servers anyways. Seriously, to all the staff, if you have your rank, you should consider staying active and helping out

I've also said to Max, Tyler and Chute that Minecraft is boring,
However, TTT in some cases has 2 sides to it,

There are players who love the Minecraft map, which is apparent with the player base that is on there currently, with it being mostly full everyday,
However there are players such as me and clearly michael, who like to play a variety of maps,

I started saying to them why not add a new map, or something, I received the same answer, which was fair enough, TTT clearly is going up in ranks,
So I suggested having a Second TTT server that had a map rotation, I personally never got a straight no for this option, so hopefully 1 day there could be a second TTT server with a map rotation, and tbh it may actually bring me to that part of the community.


I like the suggestion, and have tried before, however i do agree the player base for the current TTT server is growing and climbing ranks, and that is due to it's content and the map.

Time to weigh in on this. Saying that having a map rotation will reduce the player base is simply untrue. I have 2000+ hours on gmod and most of them are on TTT, during 3 years of playing i've been on 4 communities and all have map rotations, 3 of these servers have been very successful and ran for at least a year before being shut down for reasons like rogue ex owners/server supports & server being left by the owner.

Although there are also problems with having other maps, like CSS graphics missing for some people, FastDL errors, missing maps etc. But really nothing that's hard to fix.


I'd personally really support the idea of having a map rotation tho, maybe just test it out for a week, see how things go. If they don't work out then you can always change back, it's not like a week of having multiple maps is gonna completely kill the whole fucking TTT community.
