[Fadi Al-Johari]

I was going to make a topic about this but u did it before me
Well yeah.. he is right, i only see 6-12 players in the server these days, you need to do something, boost the server, and add more maps

It's easier to say than to actually do though.

Personally, i don't actually see a suggestion in this topic but the usual: add more maps. We are actually trying to find more maps that suite the experience that we want but they aren't found that easily.

Well, talking about boosts, well go ahead fadi. Boost if you want it to be boosted

I didn't think that its really hard to do..
You are right.. you need to search for a nice maps to add, but i am just saying try to be faster, because server is getting empty, and if you want i can help, and about boosting the server, i can't boost it and i don't even know how, but you are the head admin of the surf, why don't you boost it? Or the high staff, maybe you won't find players to boost it (Just saying).
Good luck.

Map adding isn't the "solution" to all of surf's inactivity problems.
If you were managing the server, you'd come to realize there is a lot more complexity than just adding maps.
Boosting is something which requires money, and so it is not cheap or free to do.
Pim is 16 and does not have a job that i'm aware of, so please don't say to him "why don't you boost it" as he too has priorities of where his money goes.
To be honest, all i'm seeing from the majority of suggestions is map adding and so i'm kindly requesting not to post topics like these simply asking for maps to be added as we know what we need to be doing map wise.
If you would like to post a map suggestion, do it in the suggestions topic.
And remember, choosing whether or not to add a map is not simple either.
There are many features of a map which will have to be analysed before it is added, as we do not want to cater for one group of people and leave the others bored.

Omgg... and how i can know that he is 16 years old.. ok i don't know anything about boosting server i don't know how much it cost.. so i will be out of this i will just say server getting empty, and ofc if i want to suggest map i won't suggest them here, i will suggest them at surf suggestions topic.

[black star]

im sure new maps are the problem once i fisnish my map ( if it worck ) we will try it and these maps are so boring and new player keep coosing noob maps like anoo and primvera remove them and also there a map site idk it was gamebana.com i think i totaly forgot

[Leopard.]

I think the problem is abouting boosting the server i think for a long time we boosted the server, now the server is getting players who are old not new, once before surf server was boosted every week and that time i really felt how the server was cool and it was mostly full but after that time boosts were decreasing until this time so just a SC:i think the problem is with boosting the server
Hope to find solution but right thid week server is going good i am not seeing anything going bad around the server

[Pim]

Thank you Rubix, you explained it exactly the way i would.
Obviously would love the sever to be full, yet like he said i can't afford a boost myself atm.

Now don't get us wrong, but these topics are purely focused on the lack of activity on the server rather than ways to fix it. We shall not ignore topics like this in the future but constructive critism is most of the time better than just pointing out shit is going downhill

And like Leopard says, last time surf had a boost was 3 months ago by me, i can't recall someone else than me doing an actual boost for the server, it was fine but you can clearly see activity slowly goes downhill once the boost ends. Luckily it didn't go downhill to quickly but as you can see we reached the moment that it really needs a push to the top again. Whether we use boosts or improvements for that that's up to us, but yes it does need to get that push.

Regarding me, yes i am indeed 16 years old w/o a job and can barely manage bringing up the money for my booze/smoke/etc each month, my financial issues are most likely not going to end soon as i'm trying to get enough for something special irl.

pim may i know how much it cost and how to pay ( i will boost it my self if it dont cost alot  )

A boost extra costs (duration could be just an hour or maybe : €1,00 - €1,50 depends on service used
Weekly boost (the real usefull ones, last a week): €20,00 costy but at the same time helps a goddamn lot

[==>Don$N(+)P3R==> NinjaWaft#]

Bl*ck We lebanese cant boost bro so dont try :p

[black star]

Lebanese cant why.... And pim it expensive for me sorry

[TeeKaaY]

Didn't read the entire topic, but your solution is simple.
Yes simple and there is no magic involved.

surf_ski_2 only server. No I am not crazy, people don't want to play maps they don't know, and everybody knows surf_ski_2.
Personally, I only join the server when I see that the server is on surf_ski_2.

[Chris]

I know what you mean but,here they actually like other maps
the admins are getting begged to change the map every single time

Well it's an idea we can always implement this and test it out.

[black star]

If we only play ss2 player will get more bored ... 1 map all the life..and to discover a map it take 10 min

[==>Don$N(+)P3R==> NinjaWaft#]

Agree with tony, always when the server is empty i change for ss2 and tada server gets more n more players

[Fadi Al-Johari]

Good idea tony make it ss2 only, but am afraid if the players will get bored after a few months of this map, but lets try it.

[Pim]

Tony, it ain't that easy actually. As you can see already 4 guys posted about your suggestion, yet like you can see 2 are for and 2 are against. Also if you actually check gametracker you'll see that ss2 is actually number 4 of most played maps. It isn't that popular between our oldschool players as it used to be. They are all slowly getting bored of it. And as the server is not boosted we'll have to deal with oldies rather than new players.

Once again, will be considered.

[Gikki]

Well to me boosting is boring why???
Because I feel like I am playing with bots
I would like to play on a server with 8 players 6of them are pros then a server with 32 players all of them are noobs??
