There was a game maybe once a week and barely got a 4v4 match, if that.
None of the conditions to playing have changed. In fact its gotten worse, theres less GCs now if any at all and there is no GC Admin.

You're concerned about the one game where I gave myself a lot of health. This wasn't to abuse really, more of a test to see what Clel would do, any competent GC would have stopped the game immeadiately. While the horses were a bit much, a lot of people found it hilarious, besides the GC anyway.(including yourself, I remember you even asking me to give you speed from the broken speed droppable to cause trouble in Mystic's CTF's) The only time you reacted is when you were on the recieving end of the abuse, which was one game. Not one time before did you complain, so don't give me any bull. I sparingly even participated or went in the levels at all during the time span I am refering to(Classic's final month).

Before the server was wiped clean 20+ people came online for one single game of CTF, and these people were just those that were online at the time. With that in mind, I hope the development team takes the couple hours needed to make CTF available to the public and GCs for the short term as well.

20+ people came on to play CTF? Exaggerate much?
I was around the whole time, there was probably 1 to 2 games every 2 weeks, in which GCs struggled to maintain a 4v4 match, most of the time, they would end up either having to play themselves. Gladius had to do this multiple times, Mystic would more often than not use his alt account to play CTF to cover for a replacement, or for a game he could only get 7 people for, if that.

With that said, you still haven't told me what has changed that would make players magically participate in a CTF madness now, when it failed when the server wasnt even UC.

You can't have your matches anymore since it's deleted.

I'm sure backups exist of everything that existed before the wipe.

MysticX2X 08-07-2009 09:52 PM

Alright, both sides have decent points.

CTF didn't get that many people on the occasions it was hosted before it went down. In fact, in many ctf's not many people came and as a end result, many of those games were canceled. Both my matches and Gladius' as well, particularly since we were the most active gc's before Classic went down.

CTF is no doubt the best event on Classic, and the best type of CTF on graal. Though with Classic's lack of content and playercount, obviously we woulnd't see that many people coming on Classic to do something other than CTF as CTF isn't/shouldn't always be a planned event. I do believe 36 is a bit over exaggerated as I haven't seen 36 different people play ctf in the past 6 months, much less Classic.

I would hope for a CTF system to come back (with the addition of new gc systems), but don't get too impatient over it as I doubt both are even on the top half of classic's priority list as a new GC Admin hasn't been selected.

Honestly, I don't know.

Remonq 08-07-2009 10:06 PM

seriously, it's all in the past and if you honestly cared about classic's future your efforts would be put to better use worrying about something relevant

DarkCloud_PK 08-07-2009 10:09 PM

Trying to see a bright future is hard at this stage of the game.

I don't think it was that bad, because most of the games in which you gave people (mainly me) horses there was more than 4 per side. However, this isn't really important as all it takes is 8 players, it's only once a month or whatever was being discussed, and it would only take one GC to host it. Gladius is trying to arrange it, so I think it'd be fair to assume that he would log on and host. Death has said in this thread that he would also host. The conditions between regularly hosting on a server and hosting once a month for a one-off event are way different.

I'm not concerned about things like you abusing to be fair because it's hardly relevant and as far as I'm concerned, all in the past; that was just the push that made me stop playing. Regardless of these situations, it still highlights that the event was being hosted before the server adopted an "Under Construction" status, and that is what I was trying to get across.

No. The day before this thread was made, Gladius logged onto Unholy Nation and we were talking about CTF in GM's. He then decided to log onto Classic and was open to host it for anyone that wanted to play. 20-odd people came on (I think the peak was 23) and he hosted CTF Sumo X. After the game, Gladius crashed and people thought he wasn't coming back so they all logged off shortly after. That is what sparked off the idea of hosting CTF now and again, because there was a lot of interest and participation on that night.

The above paragraph is true.

bumping a 7 month old thread is preferable to a new one
