Our Dead Presidents Server Has Been Sitting Idle most days with little activity since our not so recent temp shut down a few months ago. I thought i would take this time to hear from u  folks, and see what you want out of your bf2 servers. So My queston is to you. You build the Paramaeters, And Let Dead Presidents do the "catering". What do you guys want? Fire away ! After we get a good feel from what you the public wants, and not our clan, I see if we can make it happen for you players

current server : 64 man ranked  ip 67.18.131.170

I like playin on a server that is closely moderated.  If there are specific rules...a mod should nearly always be on (not the same person of course) when the server has ppl in it, to make sure all goes smothly.  If you make a rule that there is no camping an uncappable base...enforce it.  That's all I really think is important.  Oh...everyone and their grandmother loves Karkand...throw that up 24/7 if u like (I personally hate Karkand...I'm more of a Sharqi/Ghost Town person...but thats just me).

I like 300 ticket servers = longer rounds
Only playing a map in rotation once
Closely and fairly moderated
Servers that load quickly...Ninjaserv takes a couple seconds to verify client data, not 60 or more
I don't like 24/7 servers, every map has it's own charm
I don't like 64 man servers, too much overhead for me
voip and battlerecorder...I can take or leave, makes no difference to me
if the verify time can't be reduced, I like a long delay, (60 seconds or more), between maps.  I hate losing commander to someone with a lower rank but faster computer

OK, you asked, so that's my input, and I know not everyone will agree

Let's see...

-64 player maps but maybe reduce slots to 58 or so?
-Don't rotate to SF or EF, if you want to, use a separate server...
-That little thing that says:

"TKPUNISH: [someguy] punishes [someotherguy] for a TK, [someguy] has x punishes and y forgives"

And some BF2S community members.

That's all I need to be in BF2 heaven.

GL with your server.

What k30dxedle said (that punish server message is really cool).

Try a dynamic map size script that loads 16 player maps until there are like 20 players on and then loads the 32 player size instead. I never join servers with 11 players on the max size and I never play the sandbox sizes but if I knew the size would go up as more ppl joined I could accept playing the smaller size to begin with.

I see some very good solutions to making the public happy, so far so good. Always nice to see if from other gamers perspectives

i admin a 16 player on a 64 map, it full almost 24/7, we have rules like no attacking the noncaps, no jihad jeeps and the obvious ones like no deliberate tks , no padding ect, i think the key is to try keep a good monitor on it cause the second some players start getting away with baseraping ect then everyone feels they should do it and players will start leaving.

Gulf of Oman seems to be a good map to get players on for some reason , not karkand which surprised me, maybe because there are so many Karland maps , also sharqi is a popular one, these two and karkand are must haves on the map line up.

As long as you keep it fair and try ensure everyone has fun then im sure it will be a success good luck with the server mate and ill try join you some day.

LINUX! Please God Linux. Also if the map is played 3 times is good.

no auto balance, and rotate a few more maps than just the usual freaking karkand, sharqi and mashtuur. i'm really sick of just getting on a server to play those only.  u guys do know there's more armies other than the USMC and MEC? there's a little something called the PLA.  i advise songhua stalemate and daqing oilfields. have a map rotation, i hate 24/7 servers. and gulf of oman i never see that map in any rotations anymore. i think i see fushe pass more often than oman.
