Hi Guys.Let me start by thanking each any every person for attending V16, It was probably our biggest achievement "415ish in the door + aushalo". With a LAN this large it is sometimes easy to forget that not everyone is into the game YOU play. So as an admin team it can get quite hard to plan around it. What I would like to see and will be implementing is the following: - More Funcomps
- Public servers up 24x7 (pretty much every game we have)
- (hopefully) extra projectors and easier notifications
- Lanner approved music for the even (I honestly think we need "something"
- A Chillout area for lanners to play some console games/sit on a couch and relax
- An area for gamestah to cast to people who want to listen (perhaps also the chillout area)
Regardless of all of these things, leeching will happen. No matter what we do at a network level people can transfer files. There is no longer a respawn hub (one of the players was hosting it at V16) and DC++ is no longer actively supported by the admin team "I turned down many peoples requests for help with DC++" But in the end, thats all we can do about it. As wolfmother has made clear the admins are doing everything in their power to promote a gamer friendly atmosphere, however this is also a delicate balance. Respawn is in the unique position to attract both pro teams and casual players. We cannot ignore either, but we cannot pander to the will of either. This is where the idea of funcomps came from. We can always attract pro teams by bumping up prize money etc. It is much harder to get a casual player to close his/her DC++ session, or his/her episode of house, to play a game. - We now have alot more casual gamers with limited technical knowledge, who require assistance installing/running games well
- We need to get the casual/fun games to the players easier
- We need to make it easier/fun to join in a major tournament (some sort of random team entry system?)
- We need to take "Some" focus off competitive play (Funcomps and tournaments) and get back to basics (Just play some games
)
Trust me, the admin/gopher team are working hard to address all the issues you guys have raised about V16, we listen, and we learn ![smile.gif](style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Looking forward to seeing you all at V17 R4N

QUOTE (R4N @ Apr 13 2010, 09:27 AM) ![*](style_images/2/post_snapback.gif) With a LAN this large it is sometimes easy to forget that not everyone is into the game YOU play. So as an admin team it can get quite hard to plan around it. What I've always thought would be a sweet idea is some kind of easy to read and ammend list of games up. Have a list/forum (but not quite) somewhere that people can just go 'add wc3 battleships game' and that will show up and people will know that people are playing it somewhere and maybe who to contact to get in on it. In addition you could have all the servers Respawn is running permanently listed so you don't have to open 5 different games up just to check what servers are running and if anyone is actually in them. Maybe an IRC type chat below it as well? So if someone was to open it up, they could see all the games currently going, add something if they wanted to or look at the chat to see if anyone is asking for players in a game they might want to play. A lot of the time you might be after a game of something and so might other ppl but you'd never know to join up with each other. I think more gaming could be much encouraged by increasing the opportunity of people to play, and this a great way to do it.
