As the title says, I know it's not my server nor I'm part of BG. However, I'd like to ask if it's possible to bring back the old way of 1 RTV and 1 DOTF server. Having a double Deathstar or any other map for that matter at the same time on few occasions is more than annoying. Not to mention of flawed RTV system itself where 90% of ppl that vote for certain map usually leave 10 mins later, and the rest that actually stays despite the change is forced to play on shit map they never voted for. It happens all the time. DOTF was always the main and most balanced map and probably will be. The first choice for competetive gaming or anything close to it. Please reconsider.

I agree with Nex, it would be nice to have 24/7 DOTF server back

I think it's better to let everyone vote on this matter. After all, we went into alot of modification intended to be "competitive" at first, but at this point we've seen more player using 2 RTV or just "classic" server. So competitive wasn't really good.
I'm moving this post into a public sub-forum, and adding a poll to it, we'll see how it goes.

I love dotf, but on the 2 rtv servers the map is on often enough imo.

Perhaps we could have one server dotf-only, with dotf map being removed from RTV on the other server

I still don't get why DOTF server was remade to 2nd RTV on the first place, but whatever.

I thought there is still the vstr script thing visery made to swap between rtv and dotf server?
Anyway, I would prefer one server being dotf only, since it is still the most played/liked map which is quite balanced. An ds sux lol

In my opinion dotf 24/7 should be back. But adding classic_dotf the last update dotf before new one is a good idea. The old dotf was really good, new one is also very good. Opportunity to play new and old dotf would be veeery good.

Don't listen to prime and forget about crappy old dotf. If you want to play old dotf go make your own empty dedicated server and have fun there. Don't push it on everyone else. Not to mention it wouldn't work at all since people need to download the old map manually from somewhere so in a result server is gonna end up dead. Ridiculous idea. Anyhow, Garth, if you decide to bring back Dotf only server back, please remove roundlimit and fraglimit from it so we don't have unnecessary pauses every 20 rounds or so. Set both to 0. Also, it would be great to have it as soon as this weekend if possible, imo poll results are clear from what I see.

Hmmmm, thankfully you didn't create a poll and try to see some changes to our server. Yeh well... at least I play on your servers more than once a month unlike you and few other that spoke out here. And from what I know most people that play mb2 frequently voted for bringing back dotf only server. There is no point in having 2 RTVs since maps can be duplicated on both at the same time. Whilst the only counter argument to dotf server is the question, why dotf specifically (or why any other particular map in general). But I think I answered it in first post. Not to mention, the separation of RTV and Dotf server was there originally for a long time untill recently for reasons still unknown to me.

At the time of writing this message, the votes are split evenly - 8:8
We have decided not to switch the second server to dotf only.
First of all, people's opinion is split even in this poll - some want it, some don't. We don't feel like there's enough demand for it.
Second of all, ever since the massive population increase, the 2nd server has been a great backup for people to play on when the main server is full.
And so, the servers will stay as they are, for now. Not locking the thread for further discussion in case the situation changes.

It's 9:8 right now for Dotf but whatever, it's your server and your call. If you choose a variant regardless of poll results then creating a poll by Garth was pointless on the first place. Makes no sense. Also having votes given in favor of "RTV" by inactive players like Maick or Flof shouldn't be determinant. Map duplication tend to happen every day from what I noticed. I like the Dra-Gon's idea personally but I ain't BG so do what you want guys.
