A "Vanilla" Map server

New Server?

  • Yes, I'd use it to play with my SG Friends

  • No, I wouldn't use it my friends are elsewhere

Hey, guys, I was considering buying a new server for us, that would run mainly vanilla and GOOD custom maps of competitive game modes (PLR, PL, KOTH, CTF) that would play like actual matches.
Would any of you use it, or would you stick with your casual matchmaking?
Let me know! I'm very serious.

Good luck! I don't know if it will work as well though.
This happened once on a different community and barely anyone went on it.
Of course, this can be different depending on the community.

I'd play this. Not very many good community servers and valve matchmaking is terrible

This is one of those things where it'll be successful if everyone agrees, you know...those situations where you won't join a server because theres nobody on, and theres nobody on because people aren't joining.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm always happy to see community servers that arent x1000 all crit randomizer idle trade pony rp surf low grav custom weps donor+ benefits

Also hate to be pessimistic, but it seems like new servers unfortunately don't work out for SG, case in point Minecraft Land.


So, I'd play but there would need to be heavy advertisement and constant attention to make sure the server doesn't flop.

it's been tried by Yuki and it inevitably got shut down a couple weeks later. There aren't enough people who play SG that really enjoy vanilla tf2.

I'd try it out if there were some fun plugins which weren't terribly game changing. Maybe some special suicide commands or chat triggers, like typing in "Good day" plays an MP3 of Sniper saying "G'day!", and "!smite" kills you with a lightning bolt. But they'd probably have to be limited so the server doesn't turn into a friendly simulator.

To people that say it wouldn't work.
We've tried a few times, with shit that is ALL over.
I was proposing more of an actual games, that were open to the public and actually supported.
Yea we'd need people to actually play them, but we have to actually try instead of shutting them down after a few weeks?
That's kinda my point, if it's not MAXING out in 2 weeks, Yuki shuts it down.
Leave it up for a while, see if it catches on.
OR
Switch the trade server to games and trading, everyone just goes there to kill anyway, make it a Payload map or something.
I also want Custom FUN maps. Like Higher Tower and shit. For people to enjoy and play with more than 3 people.
We'd have to actually try and USE the server.

A crazy map server would be great.
That's something I would actually play
