Hello everybody, it has come to everybody's attention that DFX is dieing. There is RARELY 10 or more people on the server (About once for 10 minutes every other day). I remember when I had to wait for minutes to get into the server. I haven't seen a full server for a month or so.
READ THE BELOW LINE, IT IS MOST IMPORTANT
So, I have several ideas that can help DFX live, but the main idea is:
Let's all find a time that's good for us to play together, so we can all play with a full server again! So, what times are good for you guys? For me, I can do it at practically any time, because I'm mostly at the house/friends house for most of the day and night during the summer.
Anyways, some of my other ideas to help the server running are:
1.Bring back the 30/32 fake server thing (It makes newbies like me click on the server)
2. Bring out shop2 (No rush double, no rush, it would be cool though)
3. BRING 2roomz back! (Maybe make 2roomz a once a day thing at a certain time? When I was a newbie I loved 2roomz, for fast xp, and it would encourage newbies to play before that to wait for it, and after to test their new skills)
4. Host a monthly torny for xp (I stole demon's idea haha, well anyways, make it a set time, we sign up a month before, people that did it last month cannot do it the next unless there is a free spot, but after that they can sign up again. Perhaps a 300k xp prize would do for the top scorer, and 50k xp to the winning team's members? Regular CS, please)
5. Make holiday xp 2k for 3 minutes (4th of july was kinda dissappointing, because we already get 1k xp because of day/night xp)
6. Helpers (Perhaps a orange name? No admin powers, just to indicate that they can help newbies with any problems, they would be asked to be put on a ballet if they wanted the spot, and we could vote for about 5)
7. Reset highscores monthly/ give xp for highscores monthly (Except dfx mod level, lol, and depending on your place you get 1k xp? for all highscore ranks combined? IE: I placed number 15 in headshots, so I would get 1k xp, and number 14 would get 2k xp, but I also scored number 5 in kd ratio, so I would 10k. I would get all of those combined, so this would encourage users to play more often.)
8. A DFX newbie/member of the month reward (A gold name, and 50k xp, to the newbie of the month, that is the coolest newbie that month, or leveled fast, and 50k, to the person who was cool and wasn't a newbie, we would have to vote on the forums)
9. Encourage users to post on the forums/play more often (IE: a message in regular typing (not the yellow/redish colors that pop up), that says "Welcome to dfx! Be sure to save us as your favorites and visit often! Also, check out our awesome website and forums at http://www.darkfx.net/!"
10. Give a more friendly approach to dfx (Right now, it seems all bleh and serious, but newbies don't understand that most of the users just screw around while on dfx)
11. HAPPY HOUR! (Once a day, for one hour, give everybody 200xp every round, everybody gets 16k monies every round, Kevlar auto-equipped, I dunno, I think it would be fun an users would play more because they wanted the happy hour spot)
12. New mode: Ghetto mode (Everybody gets a sideways glock, and it takes 3 hits to kill somebody)
13. DFX2 MODES! (Oh, im an idiot, I totally forgot when I beta tested dfx2, it was awesome, mutant mode, rocket mode, yeah)
EDIT (6/24/07):
.This was about the original DFX mod, not a surf, or KZ server. It was a super-hero like mod, but without the super-hero-ness.
.Fixed spelling mistakes on first post, don't feel like correcting other posts (I was an illiterate arse a year ago, haha.)
.Grammar mistakes not fixed, I'm still a lazy arse, and will always be.
14. Bring DFX back. :/
