Re: More BOTs (spots) in BOT server

There is a BOZ SOD with the chance to choose from a list of maps.

However: If at least 3 players post their top 5 preferred maps in here they'd like to be running as the main BOZ server on Descentforum.NET and there is a match I'd change it.

Re: Please don't play overplayed levels in D3 revivals. :\

Name 'em, we'll host 'em, you get in there, people play 'em - it's just as simple as that.

Will host a second BOZ server after the Do_LAN end of this month.

So you won't get too bored waiting for other (real) players ...

Re: More BOTs (spots) in BOT server

Yes the amount has been increased due to popular demand.

Seems that the server was running full of players frequently lately so players could not join.

Feedback welcome!

For me I'd say: Ascent is not a map for more than 6 players but it's up to the guys who are actually playing in there :-)
