TF2 Suggestion Declined Server Suggestion:

[Yuri~]

Make a petition or something to replace a few of the trade server maps to other more interesting maps as a standard.
For example, Trade #4's standard is Trade_rawr_v2_2.
I personally liked that Mario Kart map that we visited before, but I'm not very familiar with TF2 maps in general.

Hi,

While we're open to running new and differing maps, the biggest part of the decision to keep them is player popularity
If there is a particular map that's requested in quantity, we'd be open to reviewing and running it for a period of testing, and if all goes well, then making it a permanent server map

 

[Yuri~]

Yeah, I figured popularity played a predominant role when choosing a map...
Say, in your opinion, how requested would a given map need to be? (And I assume the target is the player base as a whole, not just regulars)

If there was a starting base of ~20 interested players, I think that'd be a good point to start running the map for some time to test how it would do
If after some time (weeks/months) the playerbase showed signs of increase/stability, it would be considered for permanent usage

I'll have this archived
