So,

Basically just going to ask you guys a question.

How would you Feel if we had a Fun server if u will.

Basically A server where we play on custom maps when the Pub Is full.

Just going to start a mini Thread on this.

Hit Me up with Ur ideas THought and Concenrs.

Then once i have collected all the data. I will make my Pitch to the Command Staff.

So Lets hear it 1st MRB and Bar.

And yes i know i can not spell.

I think that your heart is in the right place but it is a bad idea nonetheless.

When the pub is strong enough that you have to wait to get into it on a regular basis and it doesn't die overnight, think about pitching this idea again. Right now there is still work that needs to be done with the pub rank. If you introduced a gun game server or a custom map server the pub would die. Even if you monitored the pub to make sure that it didn't drop below a certain number of players you would still only get a map or two in on the "fun" server before the pub was dead and you had to shut it down. That would make the "fun" server a bad investment.

A healthy pub is the single most important thing for the survival of the unit.

I also like the idea, but Magoo did mention some valid points. Another idea would be to make the private server public with custom maps say maybe 1 day every month or 2 weeks. Kind of like an event thing. But im not that much of a server guru, so im not too sure how hard/easy that would be.

I like the idea, but frankly I have to agree with Magoo here. We have to keep the pub monitored at all times. How high did we have the pub rank before the old server went down? It was probably in the high teens or low 20s. We're currently at 39, and as you've seen, it's not easy to bring the rank up. Between pubbing and the realisms we have in our private server, it would be hard to get any time in this new fun server you're suggesting. Hell, its hard starting up a realism in the private nowadays. We want at least 25 people in the pub before we even consider starting up a realism, and that's 25 people not including 1st MRB members, which is hard enough to accomplish.

Basically My thought would be like marketing.

Try to bring in a Diferent Type of player.

Those Fun Pubbers who are interested in custom Maps, They would be taken care of by the New Server.

The Same Pubbers we attend to would be taken car of by our pub and realisms.

Basically this idea came to me as another way to brin more people to the unit as a whole regardless of what server they are useing to get to the unit.

Just the way i look at it i guess.

I can honestly say from experience, a second public server for anything is just a waste of money. We've tried gun-game, hide-n-seek, 24/7 donner, 24/7 avalanche, custom maps only, zombie mod, I'm probably forgetting something else, but my point is it just would not stick. It always seems like a good idea, and it's popular for maybe a month at best, but then it just becomes drain on someone's pockets. And yes, we've had people offer to pay for them or have someone connected give us a free server to play with, but then idiotic bureaucracy and entitlement issues take over, who's earned the right to admin and who's paid for it.

It also becomes a drain on the main server. We're barely filling the pub enough during the day to even think about trying to keep two pubs active. We've heard about the mod that automatically sends overflow players to the second pub, but players join the full server for a reason, they don't want to click one server and pop out in an empty one somewhere else. Believe me, we've covered all possibilities. Until we have problems getting into our own servers around the clock due to overwhelming popularity, we won't even consider getting a second one.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
