the silent majority will want the new map but wont come here and vote because they wont minimize the game, click the link, go through a registration process, confirm email, wait approval, then vote. ever heard of an open message board?
only those regulars here who are a minority will all vote old map, because they are very boring and weird people. they wouuldnt even do something like make one in every 300 greens give a prize or add expensive items to the safe store. they are bizarre.

frankly i wouldn't either, after some of the horror stories i've heard from players trying to get the admin to approve their accounts.
anyway, the new map was a step in the right direction but some key things made it fall on its face.

I enjoyed the new map greatly. It actually got me playing pub again. Now that's it's back to the old one I don't play... already had my fill of the old one over the years.
I've enjoyed them both and enjoy when staff switches maps.

I think pure pubs started the problem but regardless it looks like the LTers have died out so why doesn't anyone come up with an idea soley based on bring the newbs to this game. Fuck the vets this zone is dying cause people who have been playing to long can't stand change. Because this zone is some teri shivo shit right now and I gots no problem with knifing babies but leave the bitch alone.
The newer map by Unliked was more LT friendly, which have always been a big part of the public community. If I'm not mistaken either, there were more people hunting LTs together in groups (in the non pure pub) and more flagroom fights (in pure pub) than with this older map. The map could be cleaned up a lot more, but it improved the essence of TW. Not to mention it also brought some older players back to pub to fool around more than the older map, since they have already been there and done that.
make t he game less boring, add things that cost 50,000 points, make points less boring.
do weird things like switch maps back and forth every few days, change settings every few days then back. play around with it all the time, spice it up. make some weird map that has a tube that goes all the way down to Z and twists around up to A sectors and goes back into the regular area.
whatever, just be less boring and inhibited. the system ops should not have anxiety and panic about doing things like that, and be less dull and boring. If you feel to dead inside to play around with things like this, try drinking a red bull or something. be less boring.
in otherwords, whatever you do (youll think of something), would still be 1% or less than what extreme games is, trenchwars would still be 99% close to original trenchwars and nothing like extreme games, which has power ups every green and crazy settings.
tone honestly gave some good ideas on how to improve some pub things without changing a lot of necessary items
but the sad part is, the pubbers that liked the pub map, will probably not be registered to vote by the time this ends, nor would they care to enter in our forums.

i agree, plus if i ever feel nostalgic i can go base or bd or somthing
EDIT : if you do switch, leave a pub arena like "original" or somthing with old pub map in it

pub players don't need the forums, you know. they're actually quite sociable, so you're free to emerge from your #caves, go to the pubs and TALK TO THEM to get some opinions. that would require actual effort, though, which is something i know most of you tag-toting waterheads won't put forth.

At first the duel entrance map was a pain in the butt. Learning how to manuver was annoying at first but it was in place long enough to get the hang of it.
Upon seeing the original map back in place my intial reaction was one of dissappointment. The original is too original it has no features that are nothing but boring to me know. (First played: 1-12-2006)
Change is good. Keep the duel entrance map. Make some minor tweeks if the basers want things more like the original, its good the way it is when lt'ing.
Duel entrances "waters down" the significance of occupying fr.. No longer can a skilled and well balanced freq hold fr for any considerable amount of time..
This may lead to more fr fights but they are meaningless when you have terrs popping up left, right and centre.
How about just have pure pub as the old style?.. This would accommodate both arguments and leave a stepping stone between pub and ?go base...
