Public CS Preview server!!

The monumental (ok logical) step has been taken to give all you people that havent subscribed the chance to play on the Game.net service.

The server is:-
213.221.178.81:27015 GAME.NET Preview

The settings are all default, with full rotation.
There will always be a slot for subscribers until it becomes full of subscribers.

Please leave any feedback regarding settings/maps on this thread.

Thank you and happy Fragging.

ZaPpeh.

Just a followup to this, in order to ensure there is always a couple of slots free for subscribers, any time there are fewer than 2 free slots on the server, a non-subscriber will be kicked. This is an automatic process, and may happen while you are trying to join. The way to get around it is, you guessed, become a subscriber :) Then you'll never be kicked.

enjoy!

excellent idea tbh, although I think there should be more then 1 preview server, just a suggestion, but I do think more would subscribe. As a matter of fact, why not make all game.cs servers like this, I do think you would gain subs.

Well, since you asked... ;)

I'm sure Vegas, 747, Backalley, Oilrig, Estate, Siege, Survivor, Vertigo and Tundra could be dropped without too much complaint :)

I like all thoose :) Although with the exceptions of BAckalley and maybe 747 all the suggested maps are likely to be server emptiers, so it is probably a good idea to drop them.

Oil Rig rocks you fools !

Oh, might be an idea to allow the admins the rcon password for this server, as it appears to be seperate from the regular servers, and therefore has at the moment No admins to kick or warn people who are cheating or abusive to other players or whatever ....

People are more likely to join in or be willing to be the first on and wait if the more popular maps are on though, ain't they?

Not that I'm personally too fussed. I'll play owt if the company's good :p

last couple of times I saw it the server wasn't even working; saying 0/0 places available...

Don't start dropping maps before it's even got started; if some peeps had their way it would be a dust/dust2/aztec 24/7 server...

As dire as that can be, ever noticed they tend to be the full servers? :(

... best get rid of the maps most can agree aren't any good imo,

Well, IMHO it isn't that the others are no good, it's just that dust/dust2/aztec et al are maps where one side can really dominate - and as we all know some people just HAVE TO WIN....

how about a couple of servers, one with a wide rotation, and one with a slim one.

Bennyboy, ive been on those maps and no one side has dominated too much and there has been times when especially on KEA server that people have swapped teams and that has made a MORE of a differance, still having the same amount on each team no differnace in numbers just players playing well on the night.

Call me old fashioned (I know, I am an old bastard), but I still like a bit of variety - which is probably why I joined KEA.

And yes the KEA server tends to be an exception to the norm since most of us (KEA members) are also old gits and like to try and keep things balanced by swapping over when one team is thrashing the other - except about once a week when it seems to be KEA vs Benneh day....

Anyhow I'm still up for multiple preview servers ;) Come on Zappy, give Natty a good seeing to and get it sorted :p

We won't be doing multiple preview servers. The idea is to promote our subscription servers.

A few people got connection problems about 10:20 ish... I typed exit in console when it said connection to server timed out, which returned me to the game.net screen with the sever list on it. I tried to refresh the list but nothing happened and none of the other game.net pages were working. I thought my modem had disconnected at first but I was able to look at other sites and check my e-mail. Anyway I joined the game again via the desktop icon for CS, but there were only 3 people still there. Played for about ten minutes then everyone left. One interesting thing though; there was a little group of unknown names playing on the TFC preview server... :)

P.S. Is there definate confirmation that the server is visible to the public? Has the IP changed sinse it was first set up? The original IP I added to my favourites always said 0/0 players; I copied and pasted the address again last night and it came up with a different CS Game.net preview server, all working properly. I'm wondering if there is a problem because of this....
