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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
