[C-Los]

Well, I appreciatethe break between campaigns. It gives me a chance to catch up on those monotonous things in RL that demand attention and are neglected during camapign times.
My wife loves it, too.

Don't get me wrong.  I don't  want one to end one day, and another to start the very next, but a month is just too long.   Call me a "D2 protectionist", but I can see some people saying, "OK, I have a month until next campaign.  Lets try this new game out (ie.EVE, DOOM)"  and   BOOM, never to be heard from again.  Numbers are getting low enough as it is, so I say keep 'em all locked in on SFC !!

Oh Gawd !   Don't encourage him to nag.  He'll be on me all night at work !!

The very day after a server has concluded, er the very HOUR, er the next MINUTE, the next campaigns test server should go up. Testing of course is voluntary, and Im sure some will never want to quit playing, if they can have a good dyna 24/7, hehe, but each test server should run for a minimum, publicly, for two weeks b4 going live. That gives plenty of good time to test, and plenty of time for those needing a break between servers.

Nice in thought, but the current unplanned 1 month long breaks will prob be the norm.

There are a few different groups of server hosts and admins that independently have their own seperate projects and can have things stacked ready to roll as soon as one is done so the next can start, but very little coordination has taken place between them. In fact, fighting has broken out over whose server will be next, which puzzles me why there are 1 month long gaps between servers. I mean, SG4 was planned to start already, but other servers and their delays have pushed it back back back, and it may not start till late Nov now. It all is a little frustrating when it should all be a collective community effort and it is entirely possible for all us server dudes to get together, help each other plan and get 'er done'.

I'm with Capn Jeff. Keep the servers coming the sooner the better...

So what you are saying is that if we allow the crack hoes to de-tox they might not want to be hoes any more.

But, how do we fit in the flame wars if the dynas are running back to back?  The forums will get boring to read. Everyone will go to SFC3 forums to read them. 



We need to schedule the flame wars too.

BTW, Bonk has had fun servers up for a long time and he leaves them up constantly, the crackwhore can get their fix there.

I honestly feel bad servers cause more people to looses interest than a lack of a campaign.  The IP games we have been playing at night for the past couple of weeks have been way more fun that most of the Dynas I've seen.  Most of the "bad D2s" have been a result of rushing things and not properly testing a concept.

What he said. 

GFL Wargames dyna has been up for GFLers for a few months now but everyone is welcome to join in.

I had hoped to put up Squadron Commander in the two weeks before GW3, but real-life events kept me from doing that.  Nevertheless, virtually all the work for it is done.  (I haven't tried it with the newest mission pack, but GW3 will tell me if I'd want to do that.)

I could start it the weekend after GW3.  It's not a major server.  I honestly don't think it would have three weeks worth of legs on it.  But for a week or two of blowing off steam and trying something *different*  (while we wait for the next real server to get started) I think it could prove fun.

I actually prefer a break between campaigns, a period where i can get stuff done that i have neglected during the time the dyna was on. Plus a break reduces the possibility of a dyna burnout, which happens to some of us.

[Dizzy]

I'd be all over a campaign like that herr burt.

[FPF-Bach]

Hopefully KCW will come to fruition, not sure what the status of that is at this point in time.

[KBF-Dogmatix_XC]

Like many, I appreciate the time off between "major" campaigns.  However, it would be cool if someone make available a "standard" conquest style server as a playground to enjoy during the times  between the main campaigns.  Castrin was doing a great job with his servers for a while.  Something like those would be ideal.


I'm not sure a totally "stock" server would be appealing, though.  It would (at least for me to be interested) need to have non-stock missions and at least use OP+ as the shiplist.  Maybe that's the "new stock" now...heheh.
