| Fort Penguin goes back to NoAWP/Auto Classic Mode |
|
Last night a mandatory server update was released. We normally see our classic mode servers get pretty busy, even fill up, when updates come out, because our servers are usually among the first to be back online with the update, and our servers DO run pretty darn smooth when they're full.  The players started coming last night like they usually do after an update, but we noticed that as soon as people starting AWP'ing, people started leaving. The servers never even got half full, and that is highly atypical, especially considering what time of night the update was released (during prime gaming time for a Friday night). We have also seen this happen in general over the last 2 weeks or so that we have been allowing people to use AWP's - as soon as somebody started AWP'ing, everybody else started leaving. We have seen this phenomena happen over and over again in the 6 years that we have been involved with operating CounterStrike servers, and playing on servers that allow AWP's. As a result, we are going to have to go back to not allowing AWP's and auto-snipers. We do understand that AWP's and auto-sniper weapons are part of the game, and can empathize with those who feel that not allowing them removes something from the game. However we also know that nobody wants to play on an empty server - not even AWP whores. Perhaps we can re-enable AWP's and auto-snipers if we can ever become a community with servers that STAY busy. Until then, AWP'ers will have to use other weapons, or empty out somebody else's servers. Sorry -- but having servers with PLAYERS on them is more important than having servers with AWP's and auto-snipers allowed on them. We obviously can't do both right now. We may consider re-enabling AWP's and Auto-sniper weapons on a much more limited basis, and only when the server is well over half full. For example, allowing one AWP or Auto-sniper per team when 24+ players are on, and 2 per team when 32+ players are on. But that will be something to think about once we have the player traffic to even consider it.
