No Maps On Payload Stocks West?

[Samuel L. Bronkowitz 1]

I've played for months on Payload West, and it's pretty miserable right now and has been long before Black Ops came out. Formerly regular players seem to have fled the server in droves, and it was down to an 11-6 battle earlier tonight since the map rotation got nuked down to only two options. This is really pretty terrible. It's pretty tough to recognize people twice from night to night now, where it used to be packed with around 20-30 people you'd see swinging in and out every single night.

The 2 map rotation is temporary to bring the player averages up after the move.

It is having a positive effect now, compared to the full rotation where the server would simply empty on map change from goldrush/badwater to hodoo, etc.

Well, it seems to me that the regular crew of players that actually made the server fun to play on have evaporated with this change. Upward was immensely popular, and people got really sick of the same two maps. Most of the people that've vanished are fellow donators, as well. And when donators are on, most of us try and keep the server fresh for players. Now, so few of the players are _repeat_ players, the server's lost its sense of community.
