Re: Second Server?
It would dilute the server. Do NOT do it. It would polarise, and the "post 0.8 mania" will last two to three weeks at most.
When 0.8 comes out, spend some time running 0.8 maps exclusively or throw in only a couple of old maps in a rotation that is mostly new. The PR community at TG is BASED on one server, please, whatever you do, do not change that.

Re: Second Server?
The only reason I see for that happening is when the first server is filled with 62 supporting members. The TG server has a long way to go before that happens.
The more you restrict supply, the more you "encourage" people to pay up. Few people become supporting members because they "support TG's values." Take away the reserved slot and the amount of donors will fall.
Why increase supply when there is a lot of unused capacity (because there aren't 62 supporting members on the server at one time, ever).

Re: Second Server?
I'd say no because Insurgency brings out the worst in everyone. And I don't think many people want to play as Insurgents due to crappy weapons. Thats my thoughts, may be wrong, but thats how I see it

Re: Second Server?
My thoughts also. With this new server the admin coverage would be spread pretty thin. I have yet to find insuregency bring much teamwork. Usually you find most of the team one manning amour, or a broken up infantry squad, all doing its own thing.
I really don't think it will represent what TG stands for. Players will play it during the day (European players) and be left with the impression that TG is just like battle arena, which it will be for the most part. I'm sure you will rarely see all squads coordinating as one. It will just be very chaotic and won't encourage the same amount of teamwork that AAS has brought.
Maybe a second AAS server, but to insuregency. Please no.
true, but if you are a supporting member you shouldn't be paying just for a reserve slot. You should actually want to support this community.
Although I do agree that there should be benifits for paying 8 bucks a month.
Another thought, if the second server isn't THAT popular it might make both servers stay at about 40-50/64, which migght take away from the large-scaled coordination that goes along with having a full server. Playing a 64 player map with out 64 players will make infantry scarse. Hopefully not.
Second that entirely. Battlearena is a perfect example. Sure, we would have adims on. But, I don't want to deal with someone TKing me for an asset, or seeing 6 one man locked squads. I know the admins would be on it. But, thier not ALWAYS on, specifically during daytime play. We get disposable watching over the daytime players. Although he takes a good while to respond sometimes (no offense all the admins do a great job) and I for one would have left by this time out of frustration. The gameplay would be down the crapper. I go to battlearena to have a more relaxed style of gameplay and tend to do a armoured or a relaxed infantry squad. Relaxed as being, here is our objective, stay on me to set a rally, then we all commit suicide and spawn as engineer, then look for teh cache. Doesn't involve a lot of teamwork.

Re: Second Server?
In all honesty, I think that Insurgency is a gamemode that is... still in beta.
Dedicating a new server only for it is unnessisary.
A new server in general would rock! But insurency should be kept at most to a one night a week event type thing, at least until the PR team gets it fixed.

Re: Second Server?
I would put Insurgency maps in the same rotation with AAS maps so we get the same level of gameplay in both game modes. Not a fallout to players that just want to goof around.

Re: Second Server?
No.
Don't split the community.
Insurgency nights on tue- and thursday, and every once in a random while.

Re: Second Server?
More like the smacktards will be playing on the AAS server so they can show their leet vehicle skillz!
Battlearena has smacktards because it is battlearena and is admined mostly by smacktards. A second TG server would be partially full most of the time, would draw the good players from battlearena (there are some great players that I have met there) and would give variety to the PR gameplay. I know I would focus on insurgency because I think that is PR's strongest gameplay mode and its most unique. A well run squad can act independently and can actually take the time needed to do 'realistic' movements and pacing and still achieve objectives. I would also suggest leaving the team autobalance down at a 3 or4 player mismatch because the numbers on each side are not as important, at least on Al Basrah.Just because everyone does something does not mean that it is right to do.

I'm against it. I've posted my reasons in the Admin forums.

Re: Second Server?
How about running a trial period on the current server. As suggested one or two nights a week and seeing how that goes. Makes sense before dedicating a whole server for it.

Re: Second Server?
I'm going to throw my hat in the ring now. I say no to a 24/7 ins. server, maybe a another AAS server. Look at BattleArena, tons of smacktards that know TG is popular, then the TG server will fill up with smacktards and everything then comes crashing down. People will begin to look at TG and think, "Oh well they're just a bunch of smacktards." If they haven't played in the AAS server yet. I am 100% against this idea.

Re: Second Server?
Not certain it would be good to run a 24/7 INS server, but if it's going to be tried, do it post .8. Personally I would rather have insurgency mode not crash, and just throw some into the map rotation on the regular server.

Re: Second Server?
I different insurgency server would in fact be neat, but then again, i don't like having to choose between servers if i want to play with friends.
