    Man they aren't even going to do any management? This is going to be nothing but a thousand people refreshing the server for hours.

    They need some kind of ban system in place to bar entrance to everyone who has already played a game else nobody is going to be able to join tomorrow. I've been in the queue for the server for 2 HOURS, and every time someone else jumps on it every time there's a free slot

    I'll do everything I can to get online tomorrow. If I can get in it'll be awesome, I just hope some of the Giant Bomb guys will be there and there's some decent server management.

    I am in agreement with this fine gentleman. 32 players and a lower spawn timer just turns the game into ADHD hell.

    Oh man. I know. I just gave up and went to my usual server hubs.
    Euro servers so I don't have a tiny bit of lag there. The only upside.

    And when they do the TF2 TNT I've been wanting since TNT existed, I don't have a computer to play TF2 with... but I guess life is like that sometimes. I'll be watching though!

    The only way to regulate who's on there is to send passwords to people on the friends list of "gbtnt".  That's all I can imagine.  Please tell me that's how it's going to work and not everyone jumping on and staying on.
     
    My question is if the GBTNT friends list will be used and if so, why I didn't get accepted :(

    They can just kick and ban everyone after a couple rounds, then clear the bans after TNT is over.

    Server will probably be emptied out completely at regular intervals to get new players in.  At least I hope that will be the case.

    Did some other stuff for half an hour before I finally got in the server and had some fun BEING STRONG.
     
    Even if I don't get in for TNT it's still really fun just playing with members of the community. :3

    I'd love to see at least 32, but I don't see a reason for messing with spawn delay. I'll be there either way.

    32 unbalances the game and runs slower on some PCs. Fun for just crazy messing around, but otherwise bad.

    Having just gotten back from the server, the sheer varying amount of skill negates any sort of ideas of balance in a perfect scenario. Getting an extra 8 people in means less people left out.

    @Crushed: The scramble vote plugin I usually use is currently broken. When they fix it to work with the current update, I'll flip it back on.  I haven't had a chance to futz around with Sourcemod as much as I like to since the server has been full every time I've looked at it (not a bad problem to have, I guess) and in order to change most stuff you have to restart the server.
     
    For all the people asking for a 32-player server, we're not going to do that. Very few of the maps work right with 32 players, and 32 players on maps built for 24 players just results in lots of stalemates. And we all know, stalemates suck. If demand for the server stays up over the next week or two, I'll see if we can bring more 24-player servers online. I had no idea you guys would be so into TF2. :)

    @willsmith: I tend to agree about the player limit. However, 32 players on Payload maps are fine imo, though it usually turns into engineers vs medics+heavies. 
     
    I won't probably join you guys tonight because I live in Sweden (I'm a snob when it comes to PC shooters, won't play on servers where I have 90+ ping) and I imagine the server will be full constantly.

    @ Marz: The game changes the respawn times itself to avoid stalemates.

    Cool! I don't think I'll join in though, in fear of making a fool of myself.. I've owned the game for two and a half years, and I've only played it for 18 minutes. Heh.
