    Hey,
    So someone told me that with all the boosters and the donations I make, I am kind of single handedly keeping the brawl servers up from all my donations. Earlier today, I told sjuka_legogubbar about if you make the games fun, I'll activate a booster. As boosters potentially keep the servers up, unless the gamemode is like gungame the player count drops by at least 1/2, regardless whether a booster is on or off. So I came to the conclusion is that maybe there should be more fun events, than just war fun sundays. As people may know the staff are human beings too, but I think that there should be more events, not for me nuking all the summit_ctf's but in a way to keep the servers running. Mainly, the map and the gamemode is what keeps the player count higher than normal. As I said before when a map or gamemode is like gun-game the servers becomes empty for another like 5 hours. Anyways the point I'm trying to make here is that there should be more sponsored events on war to keep the player count higher than 20.

    While I do think there should be more events, especially to accommodate European players because War Fun is not a great time for us, I don't think that you are " single handedly " keeping up the servers. Your donations/ boosters certainly help but you're not doing it single handedly. People who've bought ranks on the server, and cosmetics (I.e the new tags) are also helping. It is not just you.

    Brawl would love to do more events, but it's really hard to come up with new an exciting ideas. To help get more events, this post won't really help, but ideas for events will. If you've got a good idea for an event, just post it and they might just do it.

    I personally would like to see more "small events". So that I'm e.g. allowed to say: "Hey whoever wins this FFA can choose the next map" or ask a question and the one, who answers it can choose one. That would spice the game a little bit up to be honest. Nevertheless, Gungame is also part of the server and especially lower leveled player like it, so no need to change the map every time it appears.
    I could also imagine to add a weekly perk giveaway, connected to an event, of course.

    What you said about gungame isn't really true, the players who leaves during gungame are often higher leveled players. Those who in other gamemodes can makes lower leveled players leave.

    Where I usually see a big drop in players is during infect when the map is very human sided and the few who are zombies gets spawncamped and leaves. Together with unpatient players who can't get any kills. All gamemodes can make players leave, for example in tdm/ctf spawncamping makes a lot of players quit and in ffa players also quits sometimes for some reason. There I covers all gamemodes, people do quit in all of them.

    Mini events and events would help, such as the ones @SkullcrusherLD said.

    I'm almost entirely sure that people leave infect because it's the most boring gamemode in the server. Most of the time, you aren't even shooting; you're just waiting for the one or two zombies to get near you. When the mode progresses and more zombies are there, you're just holding down m1 until you run out of ammo or you die. Pretty much every infect game I play, I'll suicide and play the game as a zombie, because it's so much more interesting, and since i don't care about my stats.

    Either way, don't you think it's a bit pretentious to say you you are single-handedly keeping up the entire server? I guarantee your donations make up a pretty small percentage of all the donations the server gets.

    Someone else said that but it was basically a lol.(about the single handedly thing). Like I mean that there can be wfs and other events as well is what I'm trying to propose

    Maybe we could have challenges for giveaway like try to get the most kills with this gun lasting 1 or 2 weeks

    Yes it is, but someone told me that and I thought it was a l0l so I kept t that way as a new meme xD. Anyways I do agree with how people leave with infect as I just saw after making this post.

    How are we supposed to track how many kills somebody got with a specific gun?

    Good point, I've literally no idea. I am not sure if there currently is someone who's confident enough with War's code to make another contest like this possible.
