    This may be a TLDR thread, but I have wanted to say this for a long time.

    <blockquote>So we cleared the stats today, and so far today we have had 252 unique IGNs used on our COD4 Hardcore server. I know this does not guarantee that we have had 252 unique players, but I would say that there has been at least 75% unique players.

    Do the math...

    75% of 252 = .75 * 252 = 189 estimated unique players

    My question is this.

    Why isn't our server staying full all day?

    I would propose a couple of things and I would be curious to see other viewpoints.

    1. The server is stale, meaning we need to update the server with a new map_rotation and gametypes (which we are about due for anyways).
    2. The server "lag" is severe and player bounce out of frustration. I think this definitely is a possibility.
    3. There is not enough UAN member presence to distinguish the server from all of the other 7500+ COD4 servers available.

    • We need more UAN members to be involved in these servers.
    • I really believe we need to encourage players to be loyal to our server.
    • We need to invite players to join us on vent.
    • I encourage players to talk shit with other players. We must them interested in more than just playing on our servers.

    If you play on the COD4 servers, I would encourage you to invite the players to join in on the shit talking. Taunt people and get them to taunt you back. UAN has always been about shit talking (if you ever have played with Badass or Freezie you will know what I am talking about).

    Players who feel included, will more than likely stick around and be loyal to these servers. Getting them involved on vent and on the forums will more than likely lead them to want to donate and contribute themselves to the success of these servers.

    I do not think that traffic is a problem. Retention is. If there is a reason why people come on vent and do not feel welcome, then this will be addressed. If people play on our servers and get kicked for reasons other than breaking our rules, this will be addressed. RCON passwords can be changed.

    It is not my goal to point to any one person or group within UAN and place blame.

    We are a COD clan and always will be. If you do not play COD than you are not a part of UAN. I would rather have 20 dedicated UAN members that all play on the same COD server then 300 monthly donating members that all play different games.</blockquote>

    This may be a TLDR thread, but I have wanted to say this for a long time.

    So, I am curious... how will you respond?

    Cletus, I know you read it so stfu...

    Guss... if you want to mix up the stock server... make a new rotation with gametypes and send it to cletus, muddr or myself.

    Red... I don't even know what you are asking me... but that is typical...

    For some reason, most of the players reside south of the south border; or in ex-russian states. Maybe if you re-tooled UAN to stand for Uraguay-Armenia-Nicaragua, the server would be more popular....with terrorists!!!!!!!

    Rotation/map changes may be good too, but don't freaking poll/ask opinion, just do. These fuckers will never agree on shit when it comes to rotation.

    Bommer, you can't mod the server without losing population--that means no custom maps.
  12. wow.....


    Well I will say and promise this, if that fucking server ever works properly again ie... lag doesn't cause me to bounce half way across the fucking map, or after shooting at a person for fucking ever and they don't die because of the lag, then I will play more. My suggestion is that fucking server needs to be reformatted, I have voiced this in the past as most of you know. You all know I don't spend a ton of time on the server, very little actually. However if you look my gaming across the board it has decreased substantially I think in the past two weeks I might have a total of 7-12 hours maybe and that's giving a push. Reasons for this include my life and whats currently taking place in it. So when I do get the slim chance to play its not going to be a game where I'm skipping all across the dam map...

    I agree with Art if you feel there needs to be a switch in the rotation just do it...

    Or

    Have you ever though it could be the fact that its a 4 year old game that has moved well beyond its prime???

    owww and also

    Yea we may be a COD clan but wtf has COD or the franchise of COD given to us in the past two years??? We struggle because the game and its counterparts struggle to keep us reinvigorated....

    1. new rotation is a need, too much sabotage in our current rotation
    2. i can talk shit but most users think that we use hacks hahaha so thats a problem maybe if we chill a little bit and play like noobs.

    ps. my pc is death again so i should be on at the end of this month when all my pieces arrive.

    tl;dr - You can't do the same shit over and over and expect different results. It's insane.
    tl;dr v2 - fuzion makes several contradictory and inflammatory statements. Nobody reads them anyway.

    Us
    Things that needs to happen to get us anywhere:

    1. Take threads like these seriously. If you don't have a few sentences to write, don't even bother replying to the thread.
    2. Take some fucking action. We are collectively know for our ability to sit on our asses and let important shit slip.
    3. If you don't like it, leave. You don't have to cause any drama, just say adios and we'll understand. Seriously, go.

    I agree again i remember when i first found uan i was was waiting ten mins even longer before i could get a game , i wasnt brownbommer3 then i i have been playing uan for along time before the name change, it was great cod2 esp,it was buzzng all night ,what has lapsed ? ,not only to cod2 but cod4 both servers ,is it the times or what ?its not the same buzz, SOMETHING MISSING ,ROTATION ?DIFFERNT MAPS ? OR JUST NO GETTING TOGETHER AND HAVING THE CRACK nobody gets together being cod2 or cod4 to have a good chinwag and take the piss no more it was a laugh but now zilch i can play for over an hour without seeing uan tags on cod4 on cod2 i give up nobody full stop,sorry to put a DOWNER on things but this reality,uan members try your best get on either and take piss all night thats we are here for ,thats my last word on the subject like it or not,
    another thing i think all admins should go on with the uan tags theres to show authority,then then know who there dealing with on the severs i think this will endorse less back backchat,only my opinion hiding behind ddifferent names causes it because they dont know who there talking to,it could be a 80 year grandma for all the know just my opinian wear the uan tags

    LOL yea cause there used to be over a 1000 wtf happened to those???

    So its now down to 100 and some change but what happened to the other 900 they just give up? No people stopped playing the old ass game....

    There are still 100's of cod2 servers but the game is dead except for the few dedicated masses, the same is taking place with MW...
