After getting in contact with MakeN recently he offered his help as admin on L4D.
I know him for a long time from different servers.
He enjoys playing L4D on expert (like I do).
I hope we can establish the L4D servers as a challenging place for all dedicated fans according to the
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
Since our servers are international servers English is and stays the primary language.
No extended discussion in other language (chat/mic) will be tolerated.
No votekick abuse will be tolerated.
And so on (check the server rules)
I got many reports about how the L4D servers are occupied by some "black sheeps".
They votekick other players to use the server as their own.
They do not tolerate other players and e.g. earlier difficulty votes of other players.
We had a real nice session yesterday on L4D just like in good old times.
Nice difficulty (Expert and r0r 2/4).
Nice players from all over the world (very few "Black Sheeps" every now and then).
Sometimes we needed more attempts to finish a map and therefore it was a nice challenge but not frustrating.
All in all I hope we can give L4D some more attention again and establish a challenging experience for all who like to play on higher difficulty (I really need to make a plugin to workaround the occasional problem of lobbies joining with easy difficulty. z_difficulty can't be used in this session etc. And I really don't want to host anything on Easy difficulty)
