A "newbie" server?

Post by **Fullforce** » 2006-05-01 15:12

I was thinking, after the thread about a Veteran's server, perhaps a "noobie" server could be made. A place where R-PUBs and R-DEVs will hang around and anyone new to the game can play in a relaxed environment and get to grips with it.

One way of doing it is to have a new icon on the desktop, that will open up BF2 and connect you to the server, or maybe (i doubt this is possible) change the EA adverts when you open up the game.

Any comments?

I like the idea, nothing feels better than pwning the R-Devs or R-Pubs lol.

Actually I have been thinking about something lately. Wouldnt it be great to have a Project Reality Server Association. PRSA would be a grouping of server admins who could all work together to catch Hackers like the one that was busted on Ziip. The banlists could be shared. A recommendation or standard could be set for Pr servers. Of course each one could still have there own slight differences. Then all these servers could have a general forum board that all the info could be kept on about each server.

Just an idea let me know what you think. those familiar with AA remember the AASA.

Are you a server admin?

As for my idea, I think it'd be good. But only really for R-PUBs and DEVs and the new players. We don't want it full up with vets.

Well I'm up for giving people a hand - as soon as my A-Levels are done that is.

I like the idea Fullforce, count me in

Perhaps the topic name should be changed to something like "a newbie server". the one right now sucks.

Sounds good! Nice way of welcoming people to the game!
(Also, at least in that server there will be a chance I don't get pwned straight away!)

*Topic title changed a bit.

ive been thinking the same thing.

as for a newbie server, it would be empty most of the time and new ppl would more than likly just join a empty server.

DEDMON that's a very good idea. Posted in the Dev forums to see the reaction

Whats so hard that requires a noob server? THe WPN server might as well have that title already.

There still are not enough PR players.

good idea dedmon, I'm up for that. Not to keen on a newbie server though.

Man, I hope that was not meant in a derrogatory way. We at WPN are new to PRMM and have taken a chance by running PRMM ONLY on our server. I would hate to think that our efforts were being looked down upon.

Well IMO your server setup needs changing.

same with igi server. I think it is very sad that they have ranking but have no friendly fire enabled. The supports just spam grenades all day and dont have to worry about tking anyone.

If you are refering to the spawn time, I noted that in my other post in the General Discussion Forum thanking everyone that played on the Server last night. The admin present last night was having trouble re-setting the spawn time back to the normal PRMM wait times. It was changed for a small group by another admin and did not get re-set after the session.

If you have other suggestions, please visit us at our home and give us a hand. Our address is http://www.wolfpirateninja.com. Sign up for the forums and open up a dialogue.

We are open to any and all suggestions as to how to make our server a successful PRMM site.

iGi has no friendy fire now? Yikes... Gotta go see this for myself, that was one of my fav servers...

No friendly fire? Way too arcadey for me.

yeah and vehicles respond right after being destroyed. Non stop 50cal whoring. absolutely no teamwork on the server what so ever.
