40 Players max Options

[Bobdummy]

Hello

SM is a great server and much fun fore sure, BUT:

As soon as the numbers of players increases, everything/everyone is lagging.

To the server host and the admins: I propose to limit the number of players to 40.

The lag is obvious and the admins notice it.

Most people don't complain. Maybe because they just want to play without thinking to much. And hey, thats fine.
But I know there are also a lot of people who are not happy about this. I hope they are on this forum and support me. I don't know if there is already any topic like this.

I just registered late night because I want this to change! Can't leave it untried.

Someone remembers the OA server? That's maybe an example.

So: Why not just do it? The rest of the people will join a classic or TO server and everyone can have fun without to much lags.

Good night everyone

PS: This is not meant as an offense! There were some missunderstandings today. Sorry bout that, I'll work on my expressions.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions

The configuration of the server is voted on by the clan members, so if a member starts a vote for 40 slots and the majority approve then it would be set to 40 slots.

That being said I'd personally probably vote against that change. While lag in Chivalry is something that we have to live with I don't personally notice much difference between 40 slots or 60 slots. For me, the pings make more of a difference - so the few US players or South American players we get have more of an effect.
Also because I like the big epic melee battles of 64 slots I prefer the larger servers.

For the latter I assume this isn't just me. Over the years SM have had various servers including 40 slot, 50 slot, no archer, limited archer, 1st person only etc.,
Over the last decade the consistently most populated server has been the 64 slot TO limited archer setup, so again I suspect the silent majority favour this.

You mentioned the old OA Blood Throne server as an example, again that server died out.

Rather than changing the recipe for the most popular server, how about this?

If there is a significant number of players that would prefer the same server but at 40 slots, how about I create another server that's identical but at 40 slots?

If there are others that favour this the 40 slot server as you say, it should get populated.

Personally I suspect the the majority will still favour the existing server, but am happy to be proven wrong
