TOPIC: [TTT] Suggestion: Map Rotation Changes

Server Name: TTT

Suggestion Title: Map Rotation Changes

What are the changes: I suggest either removing the map rotation entirely and reverting to b5 24/7...
OR creating a second "Legacy" server to take the place of the old USA server, which would only run b5 24/7.

How would it benefit the server: I've noticed that people generally tend to play more when the map is on b5, and a lot of newer rookie ranked players also join when this map is live. Additionally, people seem to be in agreement that when b5 is swapped out for another map (with the exception of b7_summer), players quickly drop the server and find something else to do, and newer players join less.

Potential Issues/Exploits: I'm aware that there are players that enjoy the map rotation, so removing the maps from the main server might impede their enjoyment of the server (of course mitigated by introducing a legacy server, but I wanted to show awareness of the issue).
I'm also unsure of the technical issues of running a second server.

Additional notes: There's not really much else to say; I personally am not fond of the map rotation and unless I'm living in an echo chamber, most of the people I've brought this up with seem to be in agreement that b5 24/7 would be better for the server overall.

this is true

Map rotation > 24/7 b5

Whilst it is true that the only reason the server gets players is because of the minecraft map, I highly doubt they will revert it back to been 24/7, and theres no way a second server will be released again after what happened to the old one.

I do think the map rotation needs to be thinned out at the very least as there are a lot of really bad maps on there that nobody wants to play.

B5 24/7

Every time I hop on the TTT server, I always notice that when the map changes from B5 to anything else, people start to leave.
nobody wants to download all these new textures and people always get lost in these new maps. when there's like five players in a huge and unfamiliar map, the next 5 minutes is just everyone running around trying to find each other. it gets boring, so they leave and whoop! empty server again. Even I leave when the map changes.
The TTT Zarp server only gets 15+ players when the map is at B5. doesn't that say something to you?
Its been B5 for the past few years, it should be kept that way.
We don't need map changes, this isnt prophunt.
I hope this doesnt fall on deaf ears.

i agree with ham

There will be no second server and nor do we plan to change back to 24/7 b5.

When we had 24/7 b5, people tended to get bored of the same map after a while and demanded a change to a map rotation. The majority of people seem to prefer the map rotation. If you want to play b5, it's in the map pool, so !nominate and select it and then !rtv.
