New Jumpserver

By faker mapper·
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

as you might have noticed we got a brand new jumpserver lately. Thanks to our generous new sponsor, which will be announced in a seperate newspost soon. With the new server we decided to change the structure of our servers a bit. The old "Open Beta Server" got moved to the new server and will be open with 21 slots in the future. The old server got changed to a special server for beginners, running a modified mapcycle with easy/average maps! Last but not least, the cupserver is now known as "Server 3" instead of "Server 1".

Here are the IPs and hostnames again:

78.143.52.136:27015 :: Xtreme-Jumps.eu Open Beta Server by pingKing.de ::
78.46.103.119:29016 :: Xtreme-Jumps.eu Easy/Average Maps ::
78.46.103.119:29015 :: Xtreme-Jumps.eu CS 1.6 Cupserver ::


85.214.47.72:27021 :: Xtreme-Jumps.eu HLTV by www.go4webspace

To see the modified mapcycle of the Easy/Average server for beginners, read the extended newspost. If you think some maps are missing or inapropriate feel free to leave a comment and we're going to reconsinder the mapcycle. A good mapcycle will be the key to success on this one, so don't hesitate to tell us your opinion.

Mapcycle seems kewl :)

22/05/2009 14:10:00

n1n1 should be xtreme maps not easy :P

22/05/2009 14:14:00

3

22/05/2009 14:15:00

yay :)

22/05/2009 14:16:00

nice :)

22/05/2009 14:17:00

great job guys !

22/05/2009 14:18:00

Looks like a great map cycle :) Might just add this to my favorites if the ping is good :)

22/05/2009 14:22:00

hmm why not lighthops and lostworld?? other than this i think the cycle is good except for azclimb :D PAIN IN THE ASS MAP xD

22/05/2009 14:22:00

good job

22/05/2009 14:23:00

The maps fit the categorie, and it's nice with a new gameserver, but to be honest it feels like just another server with the most played maps :(

22/05/2009 14:25:00

and whats the difference between both servers now? both playing easy shit day by day... ffs.

22/05/2009 14:28:00

cool :)

22/05/2009 14:30:00

gj, nice

22/05/2009 14:52:00

pretty much fail cause the idea of the beginner server was only 3rd place at the voting .. and still u put it as a server .. kinda funny isn't it how u ignore the voting.. in the end why you even put up the voting ?

22/05/2009 15:21:00

sweet

22/05/2009 15:30:00

must be xtreme maps, because serv. 4 newbies 99% of all serv-s in kz world.

22/05/2009 15:35:00

boo no xtreme server :[ How else are people gonna get better? :D

22/05/2009 15:51:00

nice

22/05/2009 15:54:00

akkord... funny how you write that we "fail" when your whole comment is a fail tbh. 1. I assume you had wanted an extreme server as well, which was even ranked way behind "Beginner" in the poll... 2. Putting a poll doen't mean that the we strictly go with the majority without further thinking. We also check the arguments given in the comments and make our own thoughts. 3. The poll got ~1000 votes. XJ has 50.000 members and more than 100.000 people worldwide enjoy playing kz maps. The ppl who are going to benefit from a server with easy maps, because they just started playing kz maps are mostly ppl who don't even haven an XJ account yet, and therefore didn't take part in the vote. 4. I agree, there are a lot of easy servers out there. But XJ is the central hub, ppl come to our site because they want to learn kz. It's way easier if they find one of the easy servers (with some good jumpers on it) right on this site, instead of having to search for one... 5. Easy/Average maps can be played by ALL sort of ppl. Newbies are able to beat them and projumpers can go for amazing runs. This doesn't fit for xtreme maps, most ppl will spec all the time or disconnect because they go fustrated. 6. We became aware of the fact that it became harder and harder for beginners to get settled here at XJ as a bloody rookie, because the averages skills are advancing and growing all the time - and the site and community isn't really friendly for beginners at the moment. Just ONE example: There are over 500 maps in the XJ mappool, nearly NOBODY knows all of them and it's kinda impossible to tell all the maps that might fit for beginners. Also the new maps which are rated "Easy" aren't really easy or beatable for beginners at all. Making a good mapcycle for the beginner server was a real challenge. I get a lot of messages about it recently. Therefore XJ is going to be a lot newbie-friendlier than before, to win new members instead of driving them away because they get fustrated so easily. This are some real arguments, if you wanna discuss. We never said that we would follow the outcome of the votes blindly... I'm sure 90% of the voters haven't thought about all the details given in this post and just made a quick vote according to their preferences. Good admin work requires more than that...

22/05/2009 16:10:00

Nuff said. (gj with the new server!)

22/05/2009 16:11:00

Dead Ladies and Gentlemen ? lol..

22/05/2009 16:19:00

xD nice cocacola

22/05/2009 16:23:00

Nice idea, cool to see XJ expanding. Nice maps aswell! Maybe add kz_kzarg_catacombsbhop? Easy enough for this category? Dno. Gj!

22/05/2009 16:27:00

"Dead Ladies and Gentlemen" ROFL :D maybe "Dear" ?

22/05/2009 16:27:00

and as i know theres no ladies )

22/05/2009 16:46:00

--- Thanks to our generous new sponsor, which will be announced in a seperate newspost soon. --- and then: --- Xtreme-Jumps.eu Open Beta Server by [b]pingKing.de[/b] --- Let me think... I guess i know who the sponsor is! :D Nah honestly.. congratulations! Is was really about time that xj organises some 3rd party help. Good luck with the further development faker. :)

22/05/2009 16:54:00

I'm cool with it since I'm a noob. But what about adding some custom maps too, or is it just going to be official ones?

22/05/2009 17:34:00

gj.. a new server is always nice :) @mucholote - i think XJ will "stay official" means no custom maps

22/05/2009 17:43:00

n1 :D

22/05/2009 18:20:00

@faker it's just... there's never been an extreme server :/ It'd just be fun. But good point.

22/05/2009 18:21:00

bhop server woud have suxed . ez maps are ok ,

22/05/2009 18:22:00

wow akkord, ur ego. XJ needs new users and players, not some xtreme-maps server where you and record owners can play.

22/05/2009 18:32:00

Im grateful for the new servers, thanks admins for the effort. To make it more perfect I'd remove this maps from the cycle tho: clintmo_falling, nfs_longjumpez :)

22/05/2009 18:32:00

these*

22/05/2009 19:14:00

congratulations :) ... kreedz is growing again i think .

22/05/2009 19:18:00

sweet servers !

22/05/2009 19:45:00

nice to add a new server :) i hope it'll be full all the time xD

22/05/2009 20:01:00

get a new checkpoint plugin.. :O

22/05/2009 20:02:00

Also.. put in a top15 nub

22/05/2009 20:05:00

Easy/Average maps second server is stupid :@ Best idea, I think, make first server offical maps, second non-offical!

22/05/2009 20:38:00

XJ will never cover non-official maps, since it wouldn't make any sense at all (denying maps for their flaws and bugs, and then host them on a server?). I know there are SOME good ones, but mostly they are bad and people just play them out of curiousity and then leave again after a short perios of time ^^

22/05/2009 21:29:00

gj

22/05/2009 21:32:00

@faker - ok, I understand how stupid my post was ^^

22/05/2009 23:23:00

this is so unfair ... so the Poll was not nessesary then?? .. i mean .. "Bhop maps only" won with the most votes .. it even got 61 more votes than "Beginner maps only" ... so why didnt you guys make a bhop server!?? ... why even make that poll if you guys decided to not care about what the members want!?? :S ... im getting so sad when i see this :(

22/05/2009 23:27:00

Very good idea :) second is for study kreedzig :D

22/05/2009 23:43:00

mh omg, read faker's post. He already said that they decided that by the poll, comments and their own brain, and relaised that beginner server would be the best because it will bring more new users to XJ..

23/05/2009 00:29:00

great comment faker, you explanation is right :) and some maps of the mapcycle are bhop map so... so nice news ! :)

23/05/2009 04:36:00

ok sry, didnt see it

23/05/2009 08:08:00

and really, kreedzing is not only bhopping.

23/05/2009 12:26:00

so this new server is easy/average maps only and the old one is medium/extreme only?

23/05/2009 13:08:00

no the second have the same maps + the other maps which aren't on the beginner server.

23/05/2009 14:44:00

I mean why dont they make one server with easy/average maps and another one with medium/extreme maps instead of 2 servers with half same maps. Isnt this good idea ?

23/05/2009 15:37:00

i agree with zaidejas :)

23/05/2009 19:36:00

Hmm I dont like this... Now the same maps will be played on both servers... "Hmm I cant nominate cg_coldbhop here because it was played 20 minutes ago? Hell yeah go to the other server and play it there! Great!" --> Sucks

23/05/2009 20:46:00

very good news :)

23/05/2009 20:56:00

:( I want xtreme maps sv :@

24/05/2009 00:29:00

I agree it would be great idea to have the other server to be hard/extreme server, so basically the map cycle is a complement of ez/average server's cycle.

24/05/2009 19:22:00

I think it's a good Idea. Cause now are hopefully less noobs on the Open Beta Server, so i hope that people often vote for a hard map there. I hope it (ye my english sucks in this post ^^)
