Aspects / qualities of a good, attracting server.

Andy I won't lie. We both came from Pyramid and CoEmu was the best server ever invented. My ideal server is a PVP Command one.

For one, most people are into Co just for the pvp. Thus, they only level in order to be able to fb/ss or whatever. Why make a leveling server when you can just lvl on real co for a high level char? Even if levelin is easier on a pserver, still takesthe same amount of drive and motivation. What people lack in real conquer usually to be a successful pvper is the gear even though they might be a great fb/sser. On pvp command servers, players can receive that type of gear easily and will pvp there. With people knowing your server will give them good gear and ability to fb and so forth, people will come to your server.

However, given gear should be limited. As on CoEmu, you guys only made gear up to +9 available. And gear above that had to be earned through events and so forth. You should be able to pay (to help pay for the server) for the next + of your gear for one equipment. This way, people would pay to get the +12 on their gear which would also help pay for the server.

Lastly, make registering VERY easy. I loved CoEmu because you could type in your user and pass in login screen and made logging into and creating an account fairly easy. This way, people could experience a server quickly and decide whether it was enjoyable or not. Most players, like me, are lazy and would rather not go through the effort in registering through a forum and then just logging in realizing they do not enjoy the server.

Honestly, if you remade a server that resembled your best server, CoEmu, I'm sure alot of people would come to play it such as myself. With payable or earnable +12s, you could be a little ahead of the other full +9 players. However with +9s you could still kill a fully +12 char with pvp skills.

Overall, CoEmu was the greatest pserver I've played and would enjoy it being remade. I hope my 2cents helped. I know I speak for alot of other people.

PS - Becoming the best pvper in fb/ss or whatever is enough drive to keep most people on a PVP command server.

Weird thats the concept behind my source

If andy doesnt remake CoEmu then I will come to your server.

For legal reasons, I am not going to remake CoEmu, however I may support some new member that comes to the forums and creates a server very like CoEmu...

Andy I really hope that happens cause I would play.

My points are true, and most people feel that way.

A lot of public servers are reverting to a more 'classic' theme, although most still exist on a more recent patch. I prefer anywhere between 5017-5156, with of course, custom features.. All servers basically have the same things nowadays.. ctf, teamdeath, supergw, its all normal now.. our minds need to be able to become a bit more creative and create something not released before.. whether it be a new point to the game, the game rearranged itself, or whatnot, something new needs to happen. The game itself to me, has become rather boring, even though i just 2 soc'd my neck in official ^^, its become boring. Designers and coders alike, just need to introduce something never before seen, and that itself, would make a server just downright amazing

Read my source list thread and you'll get my opinion of the patches.

Good luck!

To get the most attractive server ever, apart from unique available features and the coding aspect of a server - because i obviously dont know anything about the coding-side of a server -, you'd need some unique graphics, unseen well-made stuff, not looking half-finished or whatever.

No one really want to see those TQ soul gears anymore or those old edits from that conquer edit section.

But if you choose to re-do graphics; do it completely or don't do it at all: get a theme to follow re-do all the most used skills, most seen effects, weapons ( there's more and more new 3D modeller coming up and trying to do something with .c3s ) if possible maps
As less color edits as possible because it doesnt look serious enough

I'm just letting my "artistical side" writting ( sarcasm, obv. )

Players must have fun in the server and best way to have fun is events and competitions.
I loved the event called "Capture The Flag" what was originally done by Tanel in "LandsOfTheForgotten" that was the best version of that event ever made.

About edits as Opale said already if you choose theme then you should try finding some modellers who are able to create models, edits for your server what are unique and fit with your theme.

You should do something what motivates players to join your server to start all over again and provide that your server will not be down in a month or two.

i must say i agree with pro4never on what a player looks for in a server. when i look for a server to play i look for something simple but i also want something that reminds me i'm playing a private server. higher exp rates than real co, auto cps or just cps for that matter, staff that not only helps me when i have a problem but i can also be friends with, and most of all i need a reason to stay after i max lvl and second rb.

You have to speak an English like language often called 'egylish', give people with skill a handicap, and spoon feed the players incapable of playing the game how it should be.

Better gather up a team of pro coders/programmers/designers and start creating your own game!
I see alot of potencial here and why to stole something instead creating something new?

I personally cannot help here because I know nothing about programming languages/design etc but some members do! You people should gather up and rape TQ with a new game! If you really want to make the game in the same way that CO have the gameplay better make it more realistic or better graphic design!

That's my opinion, CO it's a dead game and the people who's playing retail and p-servers CO these days are children having age between 10 and 14...

Hey, today i came looking for a private server to play, like how Qonquer was before Qonquer 2.0 (where it became pay to pwn). I must say it was great when Qonquer hosted it out of his own pocket, the game was so fun, original exp rates, a little easier to get items, **** that was fun. It's simple really, if you have a fairly complete server with no ******** staff and no paying to win, then you got it if you just hang in there a bit.
