2nd server

[Elch 6 / 1,685]

 

Hi,

 

are there any thoughts of a 2nd server at the moment?

cause i cannot connect most of the time because 64/64

last weeks i login at evening 7 pm central european time and i simply cannot enter the server because its full full full

 

Is it possible to start a 2nd server, maybe 32 slot located eu?

i would think of not transfer all the maps there, maps which require a lot of players should remain on the mother server of course

 

just throw it in because i would like to play actually^^

 

 

/membership does not have nothing to do with serverslots right?

Not an CS:GO player but I do see CS:GO ZE server getting fulled 24/7 which is good thing but to be honest, this would honestly drown our donation but I do want to see 2nd server of CS:GO ZE server incase the 1st server gets fulled.

Please Revive the EU server then.

 

I'm sure there will be a lot of player base in EU that would like to participate in it.

 

Just need some competent manager and some good player base that love to see it being revive!

I have same opinion with whim because if you want to play on 2nd server it should be EU server. But tbh it wont be popular cause all pro people will still play on NA server. Even if server will get good ping for EU zombie escape tryhard players. This server will have problems with good managment. So But this idea is good!

ZE once had an EU server, but it failed since the EU player base still liked going to the NA server. A few attempts were made to populate the EU server, but sadly these attempts never saw fruition and the server was eventually shut down.

All the admins trying kick afks and spec. Dont worry. By the way, yea u can go EU server.

[Elch 6 / 1,685]

yes i know you kick afks and specs and so on

but despite that i am not able to join for several hours :D

 

and thats really a pity

 

dunno if you need pro player for server, some friendly ones :D

 

as i know for some ppl from asia who cannot play gfl cause its so far away and ping is too bad

To be fair, the EU sever might have had a better chance populating, if it wasn't so far behind in updates. It was basically just used as a test server ( I think it still is). We used to do all admin training there.

if there isn't something unique or different at all about the eu server, there is no reason to have one. If one was made now (assuming it was a clone of this one, just with better ping for eu players) there wouldn't be a stable enough population at all as NA server players would have no reason to migrate. Furthermore, a majority of the player base is outside of north America, yet still chooses GFL over other servers like pse (wuck feeaboos) or mapeadores.

having to handle 2 servers will be twice as hard as we do before, we already got our hands full in the US server as of the moment and we are currently under staff. reviving the EU would need to hire/train admins. not saying its not possible tho

[DUSTY 170 / 4,093]

Yes, an EU server was up and running. I can't remember the guys name that was managing it, but the settings were played around with to try to gain a playerbase.  I think a Pirates event was planned which got some interest, but everyone migrated back to the US server after and I felt bad for the guy because he really tried. Meanwhile, it might have peaked around 10-12 players on a good day, and you cant play ZE with so few. It's painful turning zombie every other round and nobody ever stuck around long enough to get its numbers up.

 

Eventually, like Wilford said, they started falling behind on uptdates and it was just a playground for the admins. I remember hearing about some pissed off europeans who were trying to play while the admins were training and messing around. They were not happy. I sometimes explored new maps over there like Frostdrake, but because I was the only one, I was always playing as a zombie.

 

Not to make GFL sound like some greedy enterprise, but donating is the best option out there. Reserved slot the moment you want to play is so worth it. With how much time I've spent playing on their servers, it feels like the least I could do with how many hours of entertainment I've gotten from it.

We had this server before, it didn't work. At most it had 15-20 players but due to ZE being itself it would require another team to keep the order and help it rise and a dedicated player base.

I dont say it must be special or something and the only reason i brought it up because the current server is very often full

And the reason to migrate would be better ping and that you could join^^

I only write that because it makes no sense what you write^^

And as there is no really good eu ze server, many play gfl , as i do

fe. mapadores is so op for humans...,not playable as zombie

Sry to hear that eu attempt already failed in past and ofc i keep the management arguments in mind

Thank you for your thoughts, opinions and background infos so far

I would be on the server with the most maximum threshhold of players. is there a server with MORE slots? I would be down.

 

bye plebs :steamsalty: :steammocking:

I remember that server, it's sad EU server empty.

is it possible for the server to support 128 players, does the game engine allow this?

CSGO itself cannot handle much more than 64. Any more would result in lots of fps drop, possibly client crashes and server crashes.
