Lycor: "I just meant to have bigger events with 10 or more players at a specific day. But as so often you do not get it :)"
I, we don't get what ? The discussion was about CryMP and CryServ and you just said about JUST BIG events on Specific day ?
Where were you for the first 4,5 years of the network ? We were hosting events on Fridays and Saturdays, every week, Youda on Saturdays, Zi on Saturdays when Youda wasn't there and me on every friday for few months in a row - each year. No matter the weather, number of players, health condition. We were there.
Hosting it for players for at least 4 hours each time no matter who was there and how many people wanted to join. You can watch videos about that - it's all on this website on Events website - just in case you didn't know :)
I get what you mean by that But it's like you coming here and saying "Hey guys why don't you create network for Crysis, would be fun to play this game" :) Makes the same sense.
So your idea about Bigger Events for more than 10 players was already working for 4 years - but even this didn't help in some weekends and we were waiting on server for 4 hours someties and just having fun with 2-3 guest there (luckily we could jump, fly and talk at least).
So what's your point and idea exactly since you've mentioned this "new" idea?
If you ask me I will host Friday events in spring again - IA fight events or even PS on Mesa Nostalgia (old server will be back) - but this doesn't mean there will be always more than 10 players. Sometimes I had on my IA event 15 players and 20 on Mesa event but sometimes nobody was there for whole friday - and just 2-3 players at the same time on some other server. It's normal.
Nobody can force anybody to play. People play other games, have work, school, go on vacations and other things - so there will be NEVER more than 25 players on one server (it was max last spring - 2018). And no matter what you do - even on best server - sometimes you will get just 10 players for few weekends in a row :) and Sometimes out of nowhere 20 or more. The other time just 3 players and no more from 20:00 - 24:00 - and you can't help it unless you pay people to play. This would help - but we want real players who want to play on their own.
If you really want this kind of magical events where you will always have more than 10 players, every Saturday or every Friday - you can create your own and if you put effort in that and wait few hours for players every week, leaving your other life activities just to wait there - maybe you can have even 25 players if you try hard.
The great thing of CryMP.Net is that anybody can create server and anobody can host Event. I will do that again after few months of break - but you can do it already, Tomorrow - and maybe your server will be most populated. Maybe you're more lucky than we were for 4 years.
But you need to be there each time for few hours, no matter if there are only 2 players or 10. Can you sacrifice your free time for that? Hide the pride of admins and host server even for 2 - 3 players few weekends in a row, waiting for more to come? If so I will promote your event on Events website. Just create your server, bring few people there and test it. No problem. Can be fun.
So I don't know what "I don't get here" ? Your idea about events for 20 players - which was done here many times ? Sorry we have put hundreds of hours just to promote this network on Videos in Google, answer questions and help individual, new players, host many different servers for people, create server options, new things and bringing back old ones, create regular events, resign from going out during weekends jut to be here for players and host event the right time, with the right settings - and we can't do anything more.
You are free to do anything you want and maybe you will have great success with that :) but throwing idea about "Events for more than 10 players on specific day" and saying that me or we don't get that has to be a joke or something :)
Are you really playing here just for 1 month - like your account is saying? I hope not. Because if you're really here just now - you have no idea about all things we've been trying here for 4,5 years (luckily dozens of videos are showing that) - investing time and money, ideas and giving players options - It will never work better than it does right now in my opinion.
Unless you will promote this network on 1 MLN subscribers Multiplayer, Crysis friendly Youtube Channel, put live-streeming of events there - yes that would help to get maybe even 50-60 players at best playing at specific day on one or two servers :) But I doubt even this would help - who cares about old Crysis.
As you can see there are 4.5 K registered users there. Tutorial about how to play have been watched over 20.000 times. And you still won't find more than 15-20 players (25 as a world record) on one server - during weekends - on event times. So what's your idea.
Trust me, we play it non-stop, observing everything and I can describe you with details every year, what was going on here, what changes has been made, how many new players came and how many stopped playing just after 2 first weeks. There is no "gold method" for this. Maybe you have something fresh to test. If you're lucky it can be a miracle.
But as you said I/we don't get your briliant idea :) Thanks for sharing this brand new thought which nobody before you have ever tried here.
Let's just try it then. let's "have bigger events with 10 or more players". Let's do it. You can start first. Fingers crossed for you. I really mean that. Maybe you have special powers. We've lost our already. I just know people will always play here but how many and what day exactly - that depends on them not on admins. But maybe you can do it. That would be a great help. Thanks.
