So The Tempest is up for renewal, and you guys have pulled through with your donations recently. Now its that time of the year to decide where to go from here.
- Keep everything the way it is, for another 6 months
- Another 6 months, with more slots on the server. This will be more expensive which means I am going to expect more donations
- Renew for a shorter amount of time. This is more expensive per day, but also means a lower commitment.
- Don't renew
I am personally for keeping everything the way it is. I haven't seen all of you playing there, but we have a lot of people playing on our server, and we have developed new regulars, some of which have even made it to the forums (Growf, I'm looking at you). I don't think the server would be any more fun with more slots though, it would just turn into free for all killing grind, imho.

I really prefer 24 players for gameplay, since the maps are balanced for 24 players and not 32. The bonus with 32 players, however, is that the server can stay at critical mass for a longer time. Right now, if 5-6 people leave on a map change (which happens a lot), it usually means more people will leave after that since the teams will be really small. I wouldn't be opposed with bumping up the player count to 26-28. Honestly, I think hlxstats is the main reason we have any regulars at all. People like stats. =D I wouldn't be opposed to hosting a TF2 item giveaway to promote more players. I'd buy a bunch of keys or something and then give them away to the top three players on the server. Naturally, pDs members would be excluded (i.e. DRAKHEN). I'll talk with Dalte. He's a trading master, so maybe he'll be able to get some nice items or something for my keys.

I'd have to agree, 32 is definitely too many, while it is true that 24 can lead to sudden server floppage. Still, I don't think it is necessary to get any more slots, gameplay can be hectic enough when the server is full, plus with reserved slots we can still get our favorite people into the server when we want. Great job to everybody for raising the money! Hopefully we can get some new clan apps soon. *cough* Growf *cough* Dalte *cough*  Quote:Razor: As hard as one might try no one will ever be able to pull one over on Super Penguin. Backpack of Win

Heh, I'll pressure him into joining. Or bribe him... Also, no one mentioned my contest idea. I want to do it. I don't exactly know what we should do though. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. - Carl Sagan My Backpack
