    As most of you have noticed, our VSH server isn't that popular anymore (mostly because there a less players for custom modes/maps).
    The reason behind that is once that the server was offline for a long time (updating is a pure mess) and also too few players available to play on it (also the server host itself a bit).

    Therefore I have got the Idea that we might gonna replace it with a Dustbowl server, as they tend to be popular (also it's listed in Quickplay).

    You may also suggest other modes, but please no x10 weapon stats or similar private mods, I don't have the time to code them.

    Note:
    We might keep the server, but then some of us should get their friends together and seed the server everyday.
    So we might get it popular again.

    I would like to see a Minecraft map server, those maps are just awesome in my opinion.

    Prophunt or Deathrun. Prophunt being the better of the two.

    Fucking fuck I just typed this but the website went offline so now I have to type it again.
    We should put aside what we want as the moment and focus on what the players want instead, since we're kinda desperate for money. So I'm voting for Dustbowl/Goldrush/Badwater. If we focus on keeping FoG alive for a while untill we're all set for a while, the main priority should be what the avrerage player wants.

    Agreed with waffle, But also Deathrun and prophunt (mostly the latter) Gets much more players to stay, while Normal maps are decent and i somewhat assume are cheaper, theres already tons of servers already using said maps and we may not get enough players.
    Looking at our server list (right now i mean i'm too lazy always keep a eye on it) Randomizer is full of people everytime i see it, same with mario kart, although orange x3 currently doesn't (i assume due to it being new but still)
    While goldrush is also usually filled along with 2fort from what i can see, while dustbowl isn't (maybe due to the same problem as orange x3)

    While i'm not too good at finding stuff out, nor planning ahead, Prophunt or a normal well-liked map seems to be the way to go.
    (That or make a Super zombie fortress server which only runs the binding of issac map, or freak fortress 2 since thats a much more popular version of Vsh)

    The Reason why the US Dustbowl is empty is the bad Connection/heavy lags every 5 Seconds, which make playing impossible.

    I'm for something pretty simple like a payload/payloadrace rotation with upward(!!!), hightower, goldrush, etc because as some of you stated payload is pretty popular but only goldrush gets quite boring. Since i'm not a fan of big mods on "standart-maps" I may recommend something like no-random-crit or goomba stomb or something. nothing to fancy

    How about a fun server filled with loads of community maps/mods? I know that if you join the server and it's playing a specific map with specific mods (EG. Warioware) It'll download the files for you, meaning we have a lot of freedom with our map choices.

    agree with werewolf (except for the mods, i just don't like mods :D). another suggestion from me would be a koth_harvest server.

    We could try replacing the VSH with the FF2 Mod and add some custom Bosses.
