Hey guys, the recent discussion on the forums has prompted me to consider a few options with my servers. Recently, I've noticed that the San Jose and New York City DM servers are not in use at all, as well as that the only Chicago and Dallas 1 are used. So what I'll possibly be doing is two fold:
1) Closing down NYC/SJ DM servers
At this point, there's no reason for me to keep these two servers up as they get no usage at all. It was an experiment to see if there was an interest with DM servers located closer to their respective locations (West Coast/East Coast) instead of Central servers (Chicago/Dallas). From what it looks like, the experiment has been done and it's not worth keeping it going for me.
2) Making the #2 servers ESEA Whitelist/Sniper enabled servers
This one I'm still iffy about, but it could be a good option for me to get these two servers more populated. Right now, Chicago and Dallas 1 are the most popular servers, with the other two being used very rarely. It could also be a good compromise to those who want Sniper and DH in DM servers (as much as I disagree with both of them)
Now along with that, there is the other server I run which does Ammomod. Frankly, this server has never been popular and is always empty. I've already stated my intentions to shut it down before, but was persuaded by tragic to keep it running. However, it's no longer in my best interest to run servers that do not get used, Ammomod included. I will be shutting down the Ammomod server at the end of the billing period (unless something drastic changes).
Please let me know what you guys think of these changes.
