I could say no to the change cause I'm worried it would get worse (not sure how!), or instead of saying let's change it, give the options of what the change could be. That would make more sense than this poll followed by another, and another, and Zzzzzz. Smurf|NL and DEEJAYKEG 2

So say it get's the vote for change. Then you ask me what I want. I then repeat myself over and over again. ANYTHING APART FROM SOFTCORE, RUSH, GUNMASTER AND THE SERVER BEING CHANGED EVERY 5 MINUTES!!! It isn't rocket science, and my ideas are constructive, just use an abstract imagination. I would then come onto our servers. The reason why I post this is because I'm bored of posting what I want over and over. With all due respect, I have never ever come across a game that has more Clan members leaving the XI servers than joining. I know you Admins have ants in your pants, and can't not change the servers.... So if you want to change them, or more correctly, want them full, go out to other servers, do some research at which servers are full (ALL the time), and try those game setups. Market research is always the best, as well as following tried and tested trends. An example (though you don't have to put it in), put in a filter for Hardcore, Metro Only, you will rarely see a server empty. How do I know? because I love it, and find it hard to not be in a queue when joining. So in conclusion. Don't put up a poll that doesn't mean much. If it's empty and hasn't been played for a while, then why offer an option to keep it the same. That just doesn't make any sense what so ever. Go out there, find game types that are the most popular, across both US and EU Zones, as well as their particular server setups. If they are full, I guarantee you to get custom, and lots of it.

If the pole was the other way.....then we could pole a few different game types and come to a common plan. (liked by XI members not by what is just popular) We could just put on what is popular but if XI members dont like it ......what good is that? As a matter of fact, rush fills up 32 slots in the 64 server with in a couple maps with 8 person start.(not my choice of game type but, it gets us a sustainable start when conquest map rotate in) The server stays hopping the rest of the day.

Just that to respond to your comment. If the server is empty, eventually the clan will drop it. It seems silly to drop a server without trying my suggestion, especially as I'm a clan member.Maybe see how it goes for a while, and if you Heads still see a poor showing on the server, then try it out. As they say if you don't ask, you don't get. Also if you don't try, you don't get!

I know the last 2-3 weeks I have been busy and hard at work and not played much at all but.... It is an EU server, but the EU guys always help the US server, as SOB has said, reciprocation would help out and be good for all. I am not taking sides, but adding my thoughts. You cannot base a change request so quickly after a slow week, its summer, holiday season, to question someinthg being changed now is not necessary. I had a few quick games yesterday and it was getting full. Try not to be hasty in decisions, when in the past few weeks before last week it was running ok I believe.

Seriously. You put up a poll, expect everyone to read it within 24 hrs, get 12 responses, and say that it's decided!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude there is a difference of 4 people. I really think you need to calm down. Go play the game, go on holiday, whatever other hobbies you have. Just stop being so REACTIVE!!! You are asking people to respond in a 24hr period where many are on holiday! I think you are a nice guy, but you need to slow down. Remember we are Idiots for a reason.

So just so to calm the situation I said ITS DECIDED. thats all. I didnt mean to close down the topic so early and take decision.. we can wait as long as its healthy decision.

Like I said before we can have 10 servers with all different gametypes and people still will not be happy. The issue that it comes down to is traffic, and we don't have enough XI members to populate all these servers people want. Also these servers are by far the most expensive we have and lately we have been struggling to reach the monthly goal limit. We are getting there at the last minute. I dropped a server last month and dropped the goal down to 650 but we are still 150 off that mark for the month so far. If I could I would drop a couple other servers to get that number down even more. Yes we have money in the bank to make up the costs but I don't wanna waste members money on very expensive servers that no one plays on. I would rather give it out in prizes. For example we could make Caveys server, harcore metro, I know this will be populated because people love to rank up. But members of this clan have expressed their feelings in the past about that kinda server. They don't want it. We could go down the line with what each person wants, create a server they want and they most likely will be the only MEMBER in the server. Then after the 1st day or two when the other members stop playing that server the member will go back to the none XI server they were playing on before. With out the ability to create maps and mods this is the problem you get. You can't customize the server so its unique, so right now you can go to any server and get the same thing you would from an >XI< server. Except we can kick assholes from our servers. I wish game companies weren't so greedy, just open up the mod and map tools so we can create shit that you can use in your upcoming releases. We will do the work for you, the people who play your games will create what they want in the games and you can just copy that in your next release and charge us $50 for it. ok blah blah blah I'm done. When I say drop other servers I'm not just talking about BF3 servers, just wanted to clear that up xCaliber, Heffalump, pancakes and 1 other 4 Awards
