All Around MCGamer Game-mode discussion.

[shadowblaze12]

Hey guys, shadow here. Quite a while ago, I posted a status saying that MCG only have 1/8 gamemodes working. KRaidium responded saying that all game modes on US were fully functional. I responded by saying that I was talking about CA. He said to be specific next time, because US is much more priority than CA, because US has a more population.

If I say so myself, I brought up a few good points. I thought "Why does US have more priority over CA." CA's population is 38 million, while US is a mind boggling 307 million. Although, not all of those people play MCG. CA has 34 people on currently, while US has more than 1k. Although, this is because of the Game-Modes. I thought of this, why does no one play on CA? A majority of the people I play with say that they love the new game-modes, and they love CA, no one plays it though.

My point here is that CA isn't popular without all of the gamemodes that US MCG has to offer. When people live in CA, and they love Zed Chase, they can't play it. They're forced to go to US and play it, which they get all around bad connection. That's my case, and a lot of others too. My suggestion is that, instead of making more game-modes, make them available to ALL regions and all servers. Yes, US has a bigger population than CA, but I bet that CA would match up to US in MCSG population if CA had all of the game-modes US had to offer, with the 200 SG servers.

My theory is, why do you make more gamemodes when the ones you have right now aren't available to everyone? Like, you should make sure Quarter Quell is available to every region, before making more gamemodes. But keep TF2, is fun c: In all seriousness, people play on certain regions because they don't like other regions. If they love Zed Chase, they can't play it, or they won't want to since it's only available to one region.

Welp, thanks for hearing me ramble on There might be nothing you can do about this, unless MCG tries to get all US MCG game-modes on every region available, which might not happen due to costly funds.

This is a fair point. I am sure that the developers are working on pushing the gametypes to all regions, but I will mention it at the next meeting c:

Allright, thanks. I've just seen that it's unfair to people who have to move to a different region to play a game-mode. :/

Servers are expensive, and there's not much point in purchasing them if there is no demand for them. It's as simple as that, really. Canadian players don't even fill up the Survival Games servers, and that's MCGamer's most popular gametype. How exactly is Chad going to get the impression that they would play the other gamemodes?

Well, the whole point they move to the US servers is because they offer more servers, more game-modes. CA doesn't have much to offer, I would see why they move to different regions. CA doesn't fill up because other regions have more to offer, so they move to there.

This exactly why I moved to US.

If it's that easy to play on US, then what is the point of having CA servers?

Because people don't want to move to US Servers.. IF they live in a certain region, obviously, they would enjoy playing that region. Although, if their region is CA, they will most likely move to US, due to lack of game modes on CA. The point of CA being on MCG would be a lot more useful if they offered the game-modes that US offered.

You have a great point Shadow.That is some of the reason more people play on US and not on CA is for the gamemodes.

You're saying that having the gamemodes up in CA would bring back players to CA..?
Theoretically, your plan is pretty good. But in practice, I can see it failing.

How would you get people to know that CA Gamemodes were back up?
Announcements? They would have to run 24/7, adding to the already flood-like chat.
Livestreams? The Admins n' stuff don't seem to have enough time for those, plus not nearly enough people watch them.
Using the new YT channel? It's too new, too little media attention.
Giveaways? Let's be honest, people only want the free donor.

You would have to very quickly gather enough support and players for CA in order to support the servers that would be required to run all the gamemodes. Like, probably within a month, otherwise it'll be draining funds from the other regions. It must be self-sufficient in terms of donations. Right now there's.. how many players that play on CA? And of those, how many actually donate?

Well as this is a great thread, I first just want to say great job.

The only thing I disagree with is CA matching US in terms of popularity. Don't get me wrong, CA would significantly grow from the new game modes but I think there is absolutely no way CA will match up with US.
