Reasonable # of players per server - end user - 08-06-2013
I'm trying to figure out what do to when player numbers on my server get to 16+. Obviosuly 20 players at the same time is not constant but it does happen often enough that even though its good for a 5 min laugh (especially with grenades) it turns into a cluster fuck of game play and newer players just get steamrolled by experienced players.
I've noticed 12-14 players is a nice number for good game play with all map sizes but not sure if I should limit my server player #'s to 14-16 and run multiple instances orf the server?
Thanks

Why don't you test and see what works for you? As far as I know, your servers have an unusual configuration, so other admins' experiences really aren't as important as your own.

Well I've never ran game server before so not sure what to do. I guess wont hurt to test it for a week and see.
Two things I'm thinking
A second cloned server instance with reduced numbers on both servers to say 16.
A second new configuration like Overkill or Minst+Hook FT which some players have asked for. This might take up some slack for those that dont like the CRA too much.
