I am downloading now... and voting with Carpe since he has been trying to get me to play for a while and my only barrier has been lack of a Ville server :D

Dust2 is the only way to go!

People already have their favorite GunGame servers so alot wont play on new ones.

24/7 Dust Servers are great!

I'd prefer just regular CS:S. I think that promotes the best teamwork.

A GunGame server can be switched on very easily, with one config change and a server reboot.

What we're looking for is a bread and butter everyday server that will attract people.

If you're looking for a bread and butter server, I don't think CS:S is the choice for that. We had one here at the ville for a long time and it basically sat empty, you tried reg, rpg, surf and it still sat empty, sorry to say. People are into the newer games or already have there own set of servers they frequent and most don't tend to stray away from those.

Maybe the ville should expand into new territory.. like Call of Duty or something along those lines. :D Or another HL mod like Pirates, Vikings, Knights (Isn't that what the TFC server is becoming?) or Insurgency or something.

My dream Ville server would be getting a Ship server set up. The actual skill, timing, and patience required to do well in it keeps almost all of the riff-raff from even buying it.

Sadly though, I'd be surprised if even 5% of the people on the forum own the game.
I am the 1%!

CS and CSS are still the two most popular games on the planet. We had one here on TV4 that ran for quite some time, and it was often very full especially prior to Dec 2006. Hamese and Blown ran a great show on it for a long time.

When we transferred it to TV5, it was a problem with the pipeline to the server (that Blown later fixed) that caused issues.

PVK2 is interesting and fun but, IMHO, limited and might fun the odd night, but not every day.
Insurgency is OK, but is filled with griefing/swearing 11 year old kids whose parents need slapped.

So we'll give it a go.
We still have a lot of people here who own CSS so we thought of giving them a home.

BF2 and CoD4 are non-starters coz they have no admin plugins (except for the pathetic Punkbuster). And anyway, the Ville has traditionally been VALVe HL based.

QFT.
The Ship is an awesome, awesome game. Masakari is right though, the skills required are pretty much the exact opposite of what an FPS usually requires. I will say that a couple rounds of The Ship will make you a much much better spy in tf2. Also there is something perversely satisfying about getting killed because you couldn't move because your character was crying because s/he was so lonely.


As far as CSS goes, when I last played, I mostly played gungame. I dunno what would be best to draw new peeps in.

I stock server with some essential mods and good customs is the way to go IMO. As I had stated in another post I can show links to the good custom maps and mods that really make the server excel :D
