We need to get our own players playing on our server.  We still have members who will pick UT99 over UT3 but there's hardly any activity on OUR server from them.  Even before we got into UT3, we had some problems getting our own players on our server.  Playing on other servers is good to get us known but our server ends up empty all the time.  I don't feel like playing on an empty server as much as the next guy but if we need to plan times for us to be on the server than that's better than nothing.  I'm not sure why {dFb} members play over at TKK.  weak spawn protection? ability to get 30 kills and little deaths easily? better maps? there's a lot of people in there all the time?

I'm willing to help setup our server in whatever way you think will pull in more people- people from TKK or anywhere.  TKK is not the only highly popular UT99 sniper server.  I setup a UT99 excessive server to see if Kaiser is able to bring more people in than what we're doing with the sniper server.  I also recently setup our sniper server to default to DM/TDM- we had it on JailBreak before and Jailbreak fucks up the query making our server will look unavailable.

If I were to try to setup a server to gain traffic I would keep it simple.  One game style, one set of mutators.  We could get a full server with the sniper game type then go to an Insta map and loose people, then to Binslayer and loose more people because everyone doesn't like every gametype we run.  The #1 UT99 server right now is pretty damn simple- only one map gets played all day long.

As sad as it is, Monster Hunt is the most popular game type on our server right now (BinSlayer being the least played).  Here are all the matches the {dFb} server have had in the past 4 months:

Monster Hunt: 773 matches
Tournament DeathMatch 303 matches
JailBreak: 111 matches
Insta: Last Man Standing: 85 matches
Capture the Flag: 38 matches
Binslayer: DeathMatch: 9 matches
Binslayer: Capture the Flag: 6 matches
