Biggest problem with V2D is it's overall a series of dead ends, 33x is a better over all map but almost too big for anything less then 35 or so players. V2P is entirely too big for even 50 players but is an awesome map. If there was a way to improve V2D to have a road linking UM to Industrial and maybe industrial to the villa, it would be a much stronger map where people can't just blockade a tunnel and know your trapped in there and will have to come out sometime.
V2P would need the combined players from v2d and 33x to fully take advantage of. Your talking around 80 to 90 players just to make that map feel alive and the hill near the lake is so bumpy and steep that some of the cars simply cannot make it back up. Thinking about it, I feel that if FL wants to stay with multiple servers as opposed to increasing player capacity on one server, perhaps scrapping that map and saving it for we'll say the event server in case it's needed while you use the server for your v2d_FL map and see if it takes off as well as we're all hoping, once that one is out of testing, you could work on another map and use that server to test it.
There are a few other half decent maps out there, how about finding one that isn't evocity or downtown which are the two most popular and check out if there is another map that could be better for the wee hours. You know, like a map that is more playable with smaller groups of players like 10-20. There is a span of about 6 hours where that is about the max for all the servers combined in terms of active players, most of them are contra farming at that. I also have a metricfuckton of other ideas I can spew to promote passive rp and a few systems that if adopted, would help make FL seem less like cops and robbers with a few shops trying rp while dodging the stray bullets.
Hit me up via PM if you feel the need to talk about any of this further, I tend to forget which threads I am supposed to pay attention to.
