Member coverage

First comes my disclosure statement:

My intent is not offend anyone...by no means. I feel we could up our visitors to our servers by having more members on the servers each day. I do understand everyone has a life other than playing COD. With as many members we have, I feel if we all take turns to be online EACH evening of the week, we will start to see an increase of players. After time, players will just come to our server because there's always a crowd.

Almost everyday I come in to one of our servers, just sit and wait for players. Within maybe 10 minutes people start coming in. I'll sit in spectate, go back into windows and play solitare or read my boring ass emails and listen for the annoucment of a new player joining. Most people have some type of program they can quickly scan servers for usage. I use HLSW. It tells me who is on every server I have on my favorites.

Fact is a lot of people go to the 509th because there is always people playing just about any time of the day. I have asked many players why they go there if they do not like many of the 509th members, their LONG list of rules that seem to change often. Shocked

They all give me the same answer...there are always people on.

We can achieve the same results by having our members on each day. We could also have daily time slots that we could all agree to fill, depending on where you live.

Think about it guys. Lets make RTB as busy as other servers out there. Very Happy

I agree and I'd be on all the time if it weren't for the fact that I'm at work from 3:30pm to midnight. Sad

Hopefully that will change soon.

As Copperhead has said over and over again all we have to do is go on one of our empty servers and wait a few minutes and people will come. Not every time for sure but the only way to make it happen is to take the initiative.

I've also given some thought to a night once a month/week or whatever where we all get together and just go to another clan server and play. This would get some exposure for us and we could invite players here. Not to steal anyones players but rather hey we play there so maybe you could come here kind of thing. We did this for a while when we were running COD4 and it was a lot of fun. It even brought a few players our way. I'm sure we could do it again.

Also, for those of you taking the time to read this post, I have a suprise in store for this weekend. I don't want to spill the beans just yet but be around TS this weekend and I'm sure you will have some fun. I've been working on this little suprise all week (well in the wee hours of the night anyway) and I think it's about ready to roll. Smile

I am on every night too. I have gone on to COD WAW and sit waiting for others to come on and then wind up going to COD2. I'll just keep trying.
