I agree, I would really like to run more custom maps on our all-maps,
but I am hesitant, as the quickplay "punishment" while running those
generally costs 10-20% of the players.
Well, I doubt you can really gauge it TBH. It might be that people think
the map sucks :)
If these maps were really popular it wouldn't be an issue, quickplay or
not, I'm sure.
Quite often I get people complaining about respawn timers and I'm
thinking 'but you used quickplay what did you expect to find?' and it
turns out they actually searched for the map.
Paradoxically, quickplay works best when you have a few players joining
manually to kick things off, but equally, people are more likely to join
manually when quickplay gives you a nearly full server.
My server used to empty if it switched to koth_badlands. (That's
quickplay isn't it?) But, people obviously don't like it for some
reason, while they'll play hours and hours of other koth maps.
Same as last night, after 7 hours of cp_foundry I fancied something else
and figured I would try another 5cp map and the server just emptied when
it switched to it.
