Title: I wish I could lease some server space...
Post by: Vudak on August 04, 2009, 10:49:33 AM
I wish that I could lease some server space where I could set up my own little arena with my own map and rules.  It would be password protected, and I would be able to give CM powers to any particular handles I wanted.  Ideally, it would be hosted by HTC, because I don't know what I'm doing.

Unlike H2H, it would support more than 8 players.  The minimum I'd be interested in leasing would be 32 players, but I'd prefer 64.

I wonder if HTC fears larger "H2H" arenas might eventually pull enough players away from the Main Arenas?

A couple 50 player arenas might kill the main numbers during off peak.

I'd guess the scores will keep a majority in the MA's.  I'd probably be gone though.

I think you over estimate the power of score.....

As long as the customers are happy and paying their $15, should HTC care which arena they are in?  Not being smart, it's a real question, as this is something I would VERY much like to see happen.

Some people enjoy the massive arenas....see Titanic Tuesday....and might find small maps boring.

I agree tho....I spend more time in MW and AvA.

The closing of H2H was the death of many good map makers. If we got it back I would be sure to visit your arena.

I actually felt pretty special today, got invited into the "Band of Brothers" squad in the DA today. LOL, what a joke.

DA just pulls around 60 during peak hours.....off peak is usually less than half that.

I'm not sure I do ;)

No scores, no perks, no name in lights = no one but my kind of people showing up :)

Throw in a no Tempest/Me-163/Me-262 clause and I am there.

All we need is someone to host one of HtHide's FFA maps with ~16 players.

All planes would be allowed...  The kind of people who would abuse them wouldn't be ;)

In my perfect little world I'd just set up something similar to the current DA but with killshooter turned off.  It could be any map, really. 

It would be a very simple thing for anyone to be allowed in once (just ask).  If you could follow the posted rules, you'd be allowed in again.  If not, see you later.
