    So CTF had this thing on every Friday where anyone could play any class, just in case they wanted to test something out before they bought it. It also helped reduce people's mentality that CTF was "pay-to-play."
    I know a lot of dedicated players dislike this because of the sheer amount of new players who cause lag.
    Personally, I'd rather have it occur less often, but not get rid of it entirely.

    Sounds like a good idea to me.

    I like the idea of free-day – its something that appeals to new players and that is definitely a good thing. If there's a problem with everyone having every class apart from the fact that the server will lose out on revenue, there's a problem.

    The problem is everyone going engineer, Sir.

    No seriously, in my opinion CTF premium classes come with some responsibility - chemist has to refrain from potspamming, engineer from existing (sorry), assassin from randomkilling, to name a few. Most people online on freeplay-day sadly don't really care, by making them not so easily accessable, only players who are a bit more in-depth and have a feel for this responsibility get them.

    But of course the freeplay-day is attractive for many newcomers to test out. I'd say keep it, but limit it. Once or twice a month is enough if someone really wants to try out a class before buying.

    I think it is an attractive idea, however maybe every two Friday's instead of every Friday, something of that sort to balance it a bit maybe.

    What's so bad about engineer, now? It has its counters. As for class responsibilities, hopefully Brawl will be able to actually fix the problems (such as adding a 1 second cooldown on potions of harming to avoid potspam).

    If classes being OP is really a problem, there could always be a limit on the amount of people who haven't bought the class that can play it. For example, there could only be 2 people on each team that can play engineer, but people who have bought the class can play it regardless.

    You know Sir, I put that everyone there for a reason. :stuck_out_tongue: Engineerspam can be really annoying and very <- hard to counter, especially if archers can't reach. From 3 turrets onwards, no assassin will get through, ninja does not have enough time, and heavy gets shrekd because he does not do enough damage except when buffed. Not to mention running engineers. Such nests can not easily be countered. I agree to class fixes and limits on freeplay-day though, that sounds very reasonable^^

    I love the idea of free days, I dont love the idea of playing free day. When threats come on about free day I always say limmet the classes.

    Something like this.
    Engineers: 2
    Necros 2
    Dwarf 1
    Ninja 3
    Assassin 3
    Chesmist 3
    Mage 5
    Elf 5
    Yea not adding more... But you get the point. BUT if you bought the class you by pass and dont count in the limmitation so people who payed still get there **** without having to worry about nubs taking it.

    I personally think that freeday should still be a thing.

    To be honest, CTF can't be CTF without Free Day. It lets those who can't buy classes play one on a regular basis, and it lets anybody test out new ones to see which ones they should buy.

    When Free-Day was thing in MCPVP. It had a time slot in which all players had access to all of the classes. The time slot was 1 AM EST - 7 PM EST.

    Free day is honestly one of my favorite things, even as a player with every class.

    This was already a thing before we bought McCtf, we don't plan on changing it very much.

    The answer is:
    Yes we will be keeping this feature in for when McCtf comes out on our servers.

    EDIT: looks like I've been Ninjad. GG

    Best thing about this statement is that, with CTF coming, Ninja'd has another meaning. xD
