I'd like to suggest cutting down on the number of UWE servers (keep them for sale w/e or check server populations etc)
Ideally, admin of some of them could fall to some clans or something (sponsor a league where the top 10 have admin of a server?) .. but my thinking is ..
I'd like to see more custom maps on a higher % of servers.. so it becomes more the norm, than having just the vanilla maps
There are too many servers just running vanilla maps, it's like people are afraid to put others up... I just think there's some relation.. I'm probably the only one
Just my 2 cents,
Bal

While the community servers will be left as is, and just from checking my server browser I can find maybe one official server that's even active rarely, everything else is custom now
I did read this from rockpapershotgun forum (rock paper skulk section

"Even though there's the ability to easily make new maps, you have to find a server that actually runs them. An idea I had is a regular vote on custom maps. Say every couple of weeks, there's a vote on the official forums on a number of new community-made maps. The map with the most votes get put in to the official map pool for a while. It'd encourage players to make new maps, and would offer a fresh experience to players quite regularly, with little work required from the dev team."
It's a great idea imho .. I know some would like all maps to be tested fully etc. .. but if some rudimentary testing was done on the vote winners (and next in line was tested if it failed) .. even if a section of the servers involved in it .. I dunno ..
