Please correct me if I'm wrong but has anyone else noticed that since TF2 went free, the number of players on our ET server has declined some what. :cry:

EDIT: Gametracker says yep.

It was only the very last few days and I also think coincidence is a part to play here, hear me out first.

1. People all aroudn Australia / Kid's as well just finished school (so most would go on holidays/go out e.t.c).
2. Tf2 Did come out so I guess some people will be trying it out e.t.c
3. Last night we had 29 people on at 9:45PM.
4. The new awards mod is almost here and will be super kewlz :).
5. The interest for ET is still here, teamspeak clearly indicates that.

We need some more competitions in ET, we are working out cool prizes!

Regards, BR

Maybe offering hardware as prizes? nothing expensive, just donated stuff.

I thought EA BAnk got bashed out, I'll inform the map person to remove it ASAP, it's an ok map but too easy for attacking tteam to get smashed in the spawn the whole map.

WoT!, you can't not play because you get beaten a bit :):), that's why you play the game more not stop playing it completely.. It's called adapting, and it is required in your case wiht what we spoke about earlier, horus is already pro again now! That Sphinx Hacker though, he'll never defeat any of us XD

Bogans thanks for reminding me, tonight or tomorrow, I"m setting up a training server, basically it has the hitboxes enabled so you can see where the headbox is for etpub, it will have bots and all the standard maps so you can jump on there, train your skills, I"ll let all levels adjust bot difficulty with the !botdiff command, and you can trial your skills and get some practice. It won't have very many player slots (it will be 12), HOWEVER, will only allow 2 human players on at a time (or perhaps we'll enable it to 4 or something.

But this will DEFINATELY help you out LOTS, guarentee it!!

Good idea BR, but it will be hard to get on with only two humans on?
No because I'll probably limit it with a password or something/ exclusive access to -OZ- most likely.

Brilliant idea, is this the result of you taking pics of us with the blue hitboxes?
