New Server, always empty, ideas anyone? - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=TornadoChas3r;25716568]Very good point, For a build server keep the player limit lower, most people avoid larger servers due to the fact they can get out of control VERY quickly. To save yourself from going crazy trying to control a server that will act like a 1st grade classroom (unless your lucky and get a good group of people). Keep the player limit around 8-12 .. those may even be high but.. some days it can be fun to have a full server.. other days not so much xD[/QUOTE] On such days overpopulated days we usually end up DM'ing with our "Improvised weapontry". Essentially, when we get bored, we often end up making Expression2 weapons. When the server becomes overpopulated, we switch to a dm map, drop some mobile spawn points, and change all the cvars, then proceed to kill eachother with a wide assortment of things: guns Fully autonomous babies Computer monitors fully autonomous portalguns autonomous or remotely operated hoverbots turrets cans Explosives melons etc etc etc Whoever said math wasnt fun?

Sometimes we get the whole sever in a death match war, or we do slow-motion wars using the speed gun addon. Sometimes we make huge city's its pretty fun, its the things in this game that make it memorable and kind of addictive.

[QUOTE=dingusnin;25698817]install voidy's real fake player module and make people think theres alot of people on , and more join , dissable the module when there are enough players on [url]http://azuisleet.gayluadad.net/mms/realfake.zip[/url] you need metamod put in title of server "recruiting admins" and treat the players you got like gods and give them anything they want keeping it in the limits :P[/QUOTE] Whatever you do, don't do this. There's been too many times Ive joined a server to find it had no players on it. All it does is make most people blacklist it and never consider it again.

[QUOTE=DJSergei;25715214]Fuck off [editline]28th October 2010[/editline] Also, why is everyone in this thread retarded?[/QUOTE] because you're so retarded yourself you make everyone else's brain cells die from your sheer retardedness.

Make thinks interesting, get to know people so they'll want to come back to see you, make them loyal! :D Always works for me. Once their having fun they'll love you forever

DJSergei should be banned for acting very inappropriate when everyone else on here is acting like they should be. Also, I am an admin on this server and its very nice. So far I have banned one person for trying to crash the server and its fun if you give the server a chance. Pew pew gun fights are amazing.

Activate FastDL, it makes it so that people who don't join leave because it takes ages to download all the required files.

Never mind about the server.... KillSlim took it down because of the lack of players.

It takes a while before you get an active stream of players on the server. I'd say turn it back on and do some suggestions on this thread and leave the server up longer, you never know it may take off.

[QUOTE=Stickguy7;25900964]Never mind about the server.... KillSlim took it down because of the lack of players.[/QUOTE] BUGGER. Was really hyped when I read the OP, been looking for something like this for ages!....

I could host one. Already have some servers running here.
