Server tenders

    As many of you have lately noticed, especially since Remaster was first announced, many people are coming in to the CryMP forums with intention of running their own server just to see them gone in two weeks after. There are also so called "seasonal players" who only come and suddenly want to host their server when there is hype around the game. Otherwise they don't care nor play at all. I think all of us know few people like that. You can see the problem here. Imagine you are the one who helps others, yet you do it for free. You invest your time into giving a helpful hand to someone who wants to run their server but has some issue. That's totally fine. Week passes. Suddenly that server is gone. Was it worth it? Why did you help a person who wasn't even serious about running the server and left soon after? Don't you feel... used? Remember, you are doing it for free and you are spending your very own time to do so. Lately it's getting as ridiculous as people being as lazy as asking "please, do everything for me, I'm too lazy to even read README how to run the server". These people, if they are not serious about running the server, are literally wasting time of everyone who's helping them. Look, I know, it feels good to be an admin on your own server and have all the cool commands, but if you are creating your server solely for that purpose and not for purpose of bringing something new to table, then just don't run your server and play on already existing ones. Now to the point I've been thinking how to fairly resolve this issue and that's why I'm writing here to get your feedback. Would you be okay if whenever someone wanted to run their own server, they would first have to apply by writing some sort of motivational letter + how the server would benefit Crysis multiplayer community? Because seriously... we don't need yet another Mesa server if there are already dozens of other Mesa servers with exactly same SSM configuration. I'm not saying that you need to pay in order to be listed, it'd be still free, I'm just saying that in order to be listed, you need to be serious and motivated about your idea. Only then will CryMP once again flourish. So what are your opinions? Would you be for something like that or against? Or would you improve something in this idea?

    As crysis player, I can give my opinion. I honestly think it is "not smart" to make a copy of another server, just to get admin's rights, and I have aulways disagreed with this kind of people. I mean what sence if there is 3 servers with same map and same settings ? There is not that much players on cryMP, so it just trash the server's list. Of course, I agree with any original server, even if they are temporary - for example there were a server that gave 100 000 prestige to all players at spawn, it was the only server with this gameplay, so it was really good. Of course, if someone else start a server with similar gameplay, I will obviously not agree with it, as it will be just a useless clone of an existing server. I don't get the point of having multiple servers with standard crysis's maps when there is already "something", "7toxicity", "fun and jump" and so on with this kind of gameplay. Soon GermanCrysis will move to cryMP, but again, they have a unique gameplay related to them, so it's good for the diversity of servers. My final conclusion? Well, about Zi;'s case related on this thread, I totally agree with him, because the people that Zi; is talking about, are aulways (99% of time) making a server that is just again a simple standard gameplay on standard map that already exist on so many servers.

    Wow, I expected negative reactions and there are none :D I will add option right here on CryMP to create a server and bind it to your account + add some sort of management panel, where you can edit description, server name, add server updates etc. sort of server blog. It will also allow servers to survive change of IP / port and not lose all the stats that've been collected over time (as those are bound to IP/port right now). After that, only servers created and accepted this way, will be allowed on server list. Of course servers that are up for more than 2 months will automatically get accepted. And for those who are just trying to test something, they don't need to worry, they can still see their server as long as it has same IP address as them, in server list

    Let it be better to have 10 servers with a mesa map than one server with chat commands like Mr. SD, there is absolutely no balance on his server, any pathetic noob can destroy pro players wit chat command, make one server with the original mod without stupid chat commands, or let it be better to have ten servers with a mesh map so that the player can choose where to play. I have absolutely nothing against Mr.SD, but if you are going to make only one server with map mesa, it must definitely not be his server, otherwise it is kaput, only without shit chat commands! Thx for attention, and sorry for my google english)

    Well, Sashs, I was never implying that 10 Mesa servers are bad, I was just implying that 10 same Mesa servers are bad. So if there are let's say three Mesa servers, one for newbies, second for usual players with SCAR/FY71 as starting weapon and then third where players like it raw, starting from pistols, it's alright, because they are all unique. And now let's say there are three Mesa servers with exactly same gameplay, that already is not alright. As long as servers are diverse, it's okay even if they are the same map :D

    So if there are let's say three Mesa servers, one for newbies, second for usual players with SCAR/FY71 as starting weapon and then third where players like it raw, starting from pistols, it's alright, because they are all unique. its yes. Some servers that players create for themselves and friends of 2-6 players have often seen such servers under a password, I think it's absolutely normal, on the contrary, it's very cool that players come here, create their own servers and attract their friends, new players to crymp. I think that even if there will be at least a million servers with the same maps, the players themselves will decide where to play for them, recently everyone is playing on a mister server, at the same time, other servers do not bother anyone, at all)

    That's a good point, what to do with servers that friends create for friends and I am open to discussion even with others here. I think there could be two solutions to that: 1. They MUST have password OR 2. They will be allowed to stay on server list only for 6 hours / day

    I fully support SashsBrest. And further. The main thing is that the more players, the better, the better for everyone involved and Crysis. Many thanks to Zi for the fact that he not only did not let our shooter die, but breathed new life into it, creating a fertile opportunity for creativity for everyone. There will be many servers - that's great. Admins let them think about how to attract players. By the way, Mr. SD I like the shopping menu, super! It is also necessary to take into account the ping and the players pay attention to this, not everyone can be comfortable playing on existing servers. Best regards to all Smersh.

    @Sashs if you don't like fun and fight server, nobody force you to play there. This is not a server for pro-playing, nor for troll players.
