    Yeah, I guess that's right, what about the premium server.. that would have less noobs, so tickets there?

    We will decide when we make it. But not a bad idea

    Stalemates aren't bad, it just means that it was a good game, one team couldn't muster the push needed to take the enemy flag. An incentive to conserving lives, is a positive KD, that will be reflected in your own personal stats :)

    There is strategy involved with time based CTF, when you kill someone, depending on how close you kill them to their own tent, the respawn can be as long as 30 seconds, longer if we choose so. This can be the deciding factor and eliminates the charge-charge-charge you speak of above. If your knights manage to take down all but 2 of the enemy team, at the enemy's last outpost, who's going to stop you from taking the flag or setting up a decent tower? Again my preference on timer all stems back to the fact that with tickets, I hardly ever see a capture of the enemy flag. If I wanted a deathmatch, I would just jump on an RTDM server :).

    Tickets do make for an interesting game but I feel they're best left to clan matches, for a definitive deciding match. That said, I'm sure we can alternate it and keep things interesting, it's not like we'll be locked down to these settings, we'd love to keep thing fresh and exciting for the Australian community, as said above these aren't set in stone and things may change :)

    Having premium doesn't make you any better than someone without. :)

    Another thing, having 2 servers will defeat the purpose of the merge, it will again divide the community but as Lavalord the wise has said, we will decide when we make it.

    From my personal experience in the past year of playing KAG, I've seen that most people who are going to waste lives stupidly are non premiums.
    Playing on gold servers there's almost none of these players, and someone who has bought the game is often more willing to listen to suggestions anyway, so it's corrected pretty well.

    So, no, being premium doesn't make you better.. but the better people are more likely to be premium.

    The point of this merge is to unite many servers to form better condensed servers. So we want the servers to have more players on them at basically all times. Now if we were to create the same amount of servers as there were before, it defeats the purposes of the actual merge as players would still be divided among them.

    We are going from:
    CTF 32 slot
    CTF 48 slot
    RTDM
    Creative ~ infinite
    RTDM
    Clan War/clan training
    effectively 5 servers with at least 150 slots

    To:
    CTF (48 slots?)
    RTDM
    Zombies 8 slots -either till we get bored of it or will replace with the scripting server when its public. which ever comes first
    Clan War/clan training
    effectively 2/3 servers with 70 slots

    Only issue i see is that there can be 48 players at a time on a server, and a good 15 or so on the other. Plus your average 2-8 people on RTDM. (this is atm, with 2 ctfs)
    So... where would the excess players go if the combined server is full?

    If we see that players are missing out on the servers consistently i guess we would have to raise the max player limits, and i mean who doesn't want to have 64 player matches

    Its an alright idea, but you have forgotten (Or are just to lazy to post) that some people have shit internet, and cant join servers with a certain amount of people (E.g: server has 36 players, that player with the shit internet lags out, and dces).

    But i like the idea of merging the two servers, and making it a gold server would stop alot of nub greifers and players from ruining the fun.

    And also lava, i'd like to mention that your stats dont seem to be updating.

    If this does happen, I'm definitely going to miss the tickets. But still that's not to say I don't like timed matches.
    I like the idea, merging them would be simpler, avoiding some of the division over which server is best as well as creating bigger games with more players. So I'm for it. :D

    I prefer unlimited lives, Im very suicidal and enjoy not having to think about the team lives. I used to play on action unlimited a lot (I think there wasn't aus servers) and it was the best! the chaos of a packed map it awesome!

    I just got a weird email from THD (because im "watching" this thread) with some guy posting a very flamey post but apparently a mod has deleted it or something. The post said, well screamed (it was all caps), thats the merge should not go though because all my admins are "FUCKING HOMOSEXUAL, THEY DON'T TOLERATE SHIT, ARE ABUSIVE TO PLAYERS AND HYPOCRITICAL". Although i don't agree with this and also highly disagree using sexual preferences as an insult, Kai and I decided before we started this thread that all admins would be re-screened to ensure all the new admins on the server are of the highest quality.

    You know who would make a rather good admin? My fine self, of course! :D

    On another note, when will this server be up? I'm suffering some severe KAG withdrawal symptoms.

    Hah, nah. I'd just end up abusing my powers. From my perspective, the line between incompetance and griefing is very narrow, and you can't ban somebody for the former.
