Bonghit.Bulletsponge 58 Posted March 15, 2019 I come back from 6 months sans internet and the only server on which I play is consistently empty. . . What happened? 1 Sith reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark from Facebook 1285 Posted March 15, 2019 With the release of Battle Royales and the constant non-support from valve community based servers, our servers have been taking a hit in Pop. What caused War3 to fully dwindle down in population, I don't really know to be honest with you. If you want to talk to everyone in the community, pop in sG's discord. 1 Revöker reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryan 207 Posted March 15, 2019 welcome back, for war3 im guessing it crashes a lot where it is some what unstable to keep a decent population or people got bored of it. These are my guesses Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LunaBadger 5 Posted March 16, 2019 Just between new games and school I think most people stopped playing. I'm sure there'll be a small increase during summer. It became a lot of the same old same old. Face doesn't have enough time to make the changes that people want to keep themselves interested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ESDaman 73 Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) @Face @Bear-Man-Thing Maybe we can brainstorm some stuff to get the population boosted. Any incentives that might get new players to stay, and oldfags to become re-addicted. Something huge for a few months like double xp on Saturdays, half price shop items, etc.. And on those days. Someone could join random regular csgo servers and be a door to door salesman. I know it will make it too easy to level. But it's better than no players.

I really don't understand how no one seems to understand sales and incentives. You want to bring people to the server during less pop days/hours so that it can continue onto the times that already have high pop. Saturday is the highest pop'd day so by giving double xp on that day you are punishing players for playing during low pop by giving them less XP. These players are already dealing with just a few people on the server and now you rubbing in their face that they get less XP? If you continue on to benefit players who were already going to play on the weekend you will see less players during the week. Less players during the week results in a more dead server causing less players to show up on the weekend. So just like any food restaurant you need to put the good deals on days the restaurant (server) is doing the worst. 1 Xiplitz reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think this is true, especially since it's a free to play game server. The analogy holds for a restaurant (your example), because you're paying for a product and you are getting more for money via the deal. You could argue that time is the currency here, but I also don't think casual gamers treat their time as currency; in fact, we play games to burn it away. but I agree with weekday events. I like racewhore wednesdays Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not going to consider weekends high pop days because the server gets 8 people for 2 hours in the evening. Go to the gameme graphs. I was more focused on getting people back into war3, not to only come for one day of extra xp. Weekend will effect more players overall than an inconvenient time. We're closer to a restaurant with the doors about to shut than one with a slow Wednesday night if we're using those kind of examples. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spookiwi 28 Posted April 27, 2019 For me it was just CSGO in general. I've been playing the same game for years and it just became stale. Same with War3. I love the game to death but I feel that I've done all I want with it and there's not much else for me to do. 1 1 DarkFalcon and Failwhale reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Failwhale 5 Posted April 29, 2019 This hurts me way more than it should, that when I check the server it sits at 0/24. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Innocent Bystander 1 Posted June 16, 2019 All it takes is players on the server... I pop onto server browser and if there are 8+ people I jump in. It's like a critical mass thing. And then there's life shit to do and priorities change... 1 ESDaman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
