[REJECTED] Leave past behind and move on with the future! (Discussion) Possibilty?

[DrDrake]

Hello all Ambrosians,

As i see alot of players playing only CS:GO in my friends list i thought about an idea for Ambrosia's future. I mean this thread is not for now but for future Ambrosia servers, the grandest move of all. The move that changes everything, move to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

There used to be alot of cs 1.6 servers in the past and all full of players enjoying every minute of this lovely game! But times change as we see now CS:GO and everyone seem to be playing this game over cs 1.6 since the better graphics and alot of other new stuff.

Would be there a possibilty of Ambrosia switching to CS: GO fully, only GO servers in near future? And why would Ambrosia be a better place with CS: GO servers only?

Not all players got CSGO.. and cracked CSGO won't work on 99% of the servers :/

Jailbreak and Surf are the best modes on CS 1.6. Removing them would be a mistake



Also, I suggest making other stuff to make the forum a lot more active, such as making LoL/dota2 tournaments, its a lot of fun when its being played with friends. Make a section for it and let players apply for clan application.

I think it's still to early to do this move. As if you check the top 10 played games, CS (STEAMONLY) is on it, now if you count the nonsteamers, you can for sure say there are more playing 1.6 than cs go at the moment. Im pretty sure, as csgo is raising day by day that in 1-2 years many will have moved and this can be discussed then again.

For now I think keeping cs 1.6 servers is still an good option. What can be done is that servers which loose activity or ain't active should get removed and replaced, as there's no point of keeping them.

Hell no !
You want us to throw all the ambrosia years in garbage and goto cs go ?
well i guess the community now if doing great CS:GO+Cs 1.6+Samp its great nothing to remove or move
And we as Ambrosia Community have triple times and even more than triple players of what we have on CS:GO

There are still hundreds of non-steamers out there, if we do move I bet activity will decrease by 50% at least. Also, CS is still popular even for Steamers. Last but not least, as far as I know the current CS 1.6 mods cannot be totally "represented" in GO yet, at least most of them.

My opinion: CS servers should stay until we will barely have 1 full server. CS 1.6 servers should continue and I personally think it's a big mistake the High Staff stopped testing and trying various 1.6 mods replacing the ones not going as well as expected.

Main answer is, we expand not fully switch to servers

Which is somehow the same thing since people notice ambrosia through csgo.

[RAMBATEN]

Well do what you like but moving whole community for steam only would give ambrosia bigger possibilities.
All those lost money on boosting, instead ambrosia should concentrate donation system and sponsorship.

The problem is fear of low amount steam cs 1.6 players. I ain't participate this conversation, because I know none of higher staff plays cs:go and others not even cs 1.6 anymore.

Hell no. You aint taking CS 1.6 servers away. No way.

[CoiNNN]

LOADS of people still play counter strike 1.6, its the Ambrosians thats moved to GO

[Ed]

I kind a agree with Ramabaten on this. Steam only would be a preferable option, but after 5 years I do believe it is too late as our core is nonsteam.

About fully moving to CS:GO.
First of all, CS:GO requires at least a good pc to be played smoothly. A lot of people have problems with CS.1.6 as it is.
Secondly, CS:GO has online matchmaking which also reduces the need for servers. They can be made of course, but there is a lot of people who will just play that.
And thirdly, Ambrosia from the start has always been cs 1.6 orientated. It was started due to cs 1.6. So pay your respects to the game. This game has been played for almost 15 years from 1.1. It didn't die as some games do. A lot of people might stop playing it or get bored of it after a while, but they tend to start playing it again.

Also, because of few, you wan't to move fully to GO? Consider the people who cannot afford it, doesn't have the requirements to play it and generally are non steamers.

Additions to future CS:GO servers yes, but not fully moving to it. Would be a reckless move. Besides, Ambrosia has what, 10-20% of CS:GO players who own CS:GO?

Hey Drake, thanks for your input however we've decided to move to CS:GO slowly (very slowly). We're trying to make sure that the servers that we open are populated and not just left open and being empty. As far as now, we do have a very good amount of regulars players and it's just a matter of time that those people will start crowding around the forums. As Eros mentioned, although 1.6 is as it is, we need to pay some respect for it as it was with us for years.

tl;dr - moving onto CS:GO very slowly but steady as we need to pay respect to 1.6 for all those beautiful years!

Suggestion rejected!
