Consario Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 What you want to see? - A Server switch or a AFK rule Why should we add it? - During the day the server gets populated up to 90~ (On weekdays) Yet on the weekend it rises 100+ which is straining the server heavily, it causes bad lag and connection errors every few minutes or even seconds sometimes. Or at the very least add a rule to purge AFK D class because most of the population is people who are afking as a d class for money/exp. What are the advantages of having this? - The server would be more stable and actually allow for a full player count Who is it mainly for? - Everyone Links to any content - N/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterson Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I've heard SMT etc talk about this numerous times, however, it increases playercount, which in the end increases our rank *gmod server rank*. Even if you get on the server at night and just go afk, it increase player count. Obviously the higher up in playercount we are more people we can bring into the server. With all this in mind I don't think this will happen, while mabye yes it could keep the server a bit less laggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See now imo, that's pretty messed up valuing your "Server Rank" over the quality of your server. If a server runs like ass when it get to 100+ people and you know it runs like this because refuse to change it because it increases the rank, then that's pretty stupid. I'm not saying they don't know what they are doing, they do an amazing job, its just sometimes I feel SMT prioritizes the quantity over the quality of the server. +Support, its worth a shot.

You already have a high rank for SCP RP, but if players don't have a good time. They won't come back cause they'll eventually get tired of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[GL] Dtscalice Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 +support Overall i understand where people are coming from with the Gmod server rank but it sucks when on E11, Medical or Omi9 and ill be walking around for a little bit when all of a sudden it hits over 100 people and the server Lag/Crash screen shows up every 10 seconds-Every 2 minutes It just makes the server near unplayable at that point in my opinion Truth is just a matter of perspective.

Igneous Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Denied. The SCP-RP SMT has decided against adding this suggestion for performance reasons, the benefit to the server, or another unstated reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
