Title: AIRLOGIC Pure Power #1 - Bots or not?
Post by: lightrush on July 02, 2008, 12:25:04 PM
Hello!

I think we need some players' opinions on the topic since there are both positive and negative attitudes towards bots while the server has less than 2 players.

As of now AIRLOGIC Pure Power #1 has 2 bots residing while the server is empty and 1 bot gets the boot after 1 person joins. I.e. bot_minplayers is 2.

Do you think we should leave it at 2 or remove bots altogether?

i think 2 is fine, or maybe 4. I don't think the bots are the problem. Its the amount of traffic a server gets on a daily basis.

If players play frequently on a server, they will play against the bots until more players join up. But if a server is usual empty, having no bots will only hurt your chances of getting a high volume of players. It will be seldomly used.

Having bots will only help and not hurt.

Bots for President!

I am having exactly the same thoughts in mind and that's why the bots are still on. :) Yet I want to get some real opinions other than mine.

i personally like three bots so as not to be one on one, four is too many.
