On June 23, 2007, VIP Cooper, initiated the thread assault_server_recognition in which he addressed the possibility of slightly changing the Assault server’s names to assist in distinguishing between each one. Later, both Cpnichol and Raven expounded on the idea.

I too, think it would be a fantastic idea to slightly modify each of those server’s names to assist in distinguishing between all. Looking beyond the subtle differences in weapon configuations, individual server restrictions, etc, arguably this would provide a solution for regular forum members and staff to distinguish which specific server may have issues etc… Just to assist myself, I recently made a spreadsheet that identifies all Spawnpoint servers by location, name, and IP address in an attempt to better recognize each.

Far too often we read a, “Cry for help” from a forum member who is having issues with a hacker etc… only to identify the server as, “Assault 24/7.” Unfortunately, this clearly creates a delay that is longer then necessary when/if there was an Administrator that happened to be available. Having said that, I do recognize that it is important all us regular “Joes” continue to submit demos via the proper channels and not rely on simply starting a thread requesting immediate help.

I may expound on this later if time permits, I’m at work now and should run…..

Take care all,
