Compare the time when you were playing Ambrosia Zombie Plague server when it newly launched and now.
Ambrosia has lost it's reputation, if it hadn't why the server would get a trial period for the 3rd time to see if it will get players? Boosting could only help the server nowadays.

 That's a very big issue; didnt really that it would go further than that, anyway, i should not ask why, should i?  we need to find a solution, and stop arguing about mostly nothing.. any ideas, and tell me why, you're the one responding, of course i havee absolutely nothing against that.. was really waiting for Renok's reply.. Anyone knows where he is?     (thank you Lagger)

idk mate i want to know too

If you want the zombie server to get players, make the humans a bit overpowered (not too much, not to little).

Then just simply boost the server 3-4 times, and after that (from my own experience) the server stays full and gets regular players.
Of course, if you want the players to remain regular and loyal to the server, you need to keep tweaking the gameplay slightly.

   The thing is, i just dont understand why nobody is acting to make change, maybe i'am a nice talker, who wants to hear himself.. just saying, now the server is just cr*py  for you pwn.. i think its something that should be dont, atleast we should think on it.. i just want it to be as enjoyable as is used to be..


 Cheers,

We are more looking into our own playerbase from Ambrosia then from outsiders, since they dont join the forums they cant do anything so they just play with what they have now, lol

I do like the server though

idk mate

Darn your posts are useless.

Anyhow, Lagger said it all. Considering the server isn't popular just yet like most Ambro Servers, it doesn't have that many people playing on it daily. Just have patience and sooner or later there will be more players. + If people Boost it as well.

Or maybe because ZM isn't a very "OMGH" game mode of CS, unless the plugins are very well chosen, and everything else.

as i remember a guy (i forgot/mixed his name) has boosted the server b4 4 or 5 days, and it really went soo active but these last 2 days the server got empty i also dont understand why but i think boosting wont help a lot, only if we boost a lot, may be :/ and so whenever i join i only find 1 or 2 no more
good luck finding a solution

I would plasy zombie all day all night but with 2 players or 0? xD I think boost the server sometimes and add for a shot period a lto of zombies class, extras in the server, make more neme sis and extra rounds you know, in resume, make a non-stop action server not like it is now, a REAL ACTION, dont say me " the sderver has action now blabla" you know perfectly what I mean and im sure we gonna  get players  ^^ trust me, im sure im not gonna have accepted the idea and the serve rwont pass the trial period but i think its the best solution

Deal with it,counter strike 1.6 is dieing slowly,I don't see how zombie server can get full without boosting nowadays.

The server has already been boosted a couple of times since it's launch,and let's be honest,nobody likes to play on a server when there is 5 player's on especially on zombie server,I myself only join when I see atleast 15 players on.

I wanted to boost the server myself one week ago through sms but it didnt work,I'll have to do it with paypal I guess.

[Fadi Al-Johari]

Because now they don't have enough money... (to boost the server) the server was full from bots (from the boost) the server wasnt full of Ambrosian members, Sadly.

Not sure where you got that information about lacking money from but it's not true.

It didn't really get very active, multiple times it wouldn't go over 15 to 20 players and that even during peak hours. I'm not sure if it's due to the amount of download needed to join the server or another issue..

But anyway to be fair, the server is in a poor state and I feel like nothing's happening for it to change at the moment, perhaps it's because I'm used to another type of Zombie gameplay but I really don't like the whole "LM/Armor/Smoker" gameplay, it's too focused on camping and armor combined with LM make it hard for Zombies, leaving it only to bugging people through wall as a smoker to infect or stucking them in some place they can't shoot. If not for that then you've gotta bomb the person and to be honest, that's not fun at all.

Items are lackluster for the major part, those guns that cost a ton of AP aren't worth buying, they barely do stuff. As for other items, they're either broken / must buy or as said before, aren't worth using for its cost etc. The Forcefield shield being there for a whole round is stupid as heck but can easily be countered by a bomb (80AP spent to disappear easily, if you don't have AP for a bomb, have fun because the guy's unkillable), the "Infection Immunity" is there for really no reason almost since armor's there.

Could go on for a while still, but basically there's a lot that is wrong with the server and sorry to say but Ren0k asked for this server a lot but in the end I don't see him doing a whole lot currently. Be it fixing the balance or working towards getting the server popular. It's as if after a week, his whole motivation just went down the drain.

Basically how the current condition of the server is poor and we should what what I said. Try it and boost the server and im sure well have some players to play with. We should start trying different things

More models means more to download, most people that come from boosting don't have a good internet. Also, when there's too many models (coming from extra & classes if they have models) and too many heavy plugins, it'll eventually lead to crashes. I've played on servers that constantly threw you off the server and that's by far the most annoying thing, not saying it will happen but just saying that things should be carefully added.

Also, more classes mean nothing if  eventually there's only two or three used, it's a newbie trap for the most part. It makes the learning curve of which ones should be used harder and really fancy zombie abilities aren't needed in classes to be honest, it's a bad game design for such a mod. Shouldn't mess with anything else than their knockback/gravity/HP/speed, the rest should come in ways of items.

Same goes for extra items, you don't need a ton of items, you just need two pages or so of items that are actually useful. Not meaningless stuff that won't ever be used..

Special rounds are nice & fun, but it shouldn't be the main focus of the server. Too many mods eventually make it boring to play on, that can easily be adjusted though but should be wary of the rates put.

Boosting is just waste of money. Nowadays money is not an issue. Many of players are hard working so we have some spare cash. But boosting? I've started to dislike CS @ demolition when in the mornings I realised that me and grmbl were the only human beings from 32/32 -.-

CS is not "dying slowly anymore". I know rawr hates to see me writing this but CS is d..d... Unfortunately...

[DonTodo #]

Unfortunatly i have to agree with thEnd. Cs is dieing like hell. Try to find a decent server in midnight times if ambro is empty. There isnt. Used to be different.
Boosts are just temporary bot giving sollutions. It will not change anything. Those players dont add the server to their favorites.

 I defenitely agree with that  Hard to to say it.. CS's dead ! the server doesnt need to be boosted over and over to get players join it  and even if it comes to that, money is not an issue like it was said before ..

[Ren0k.]

Only weekly boosts can save us

I don't think if you change the gameplay again, you'll get constant players. Items and classes are somewhere the same when the server was frequently used.
I also don't think if you rebalance and tweak gameplay configurations constantly you'll get what u need.

I think we need zombie escape back
