What does the public Want?

I have been experimenting a lot with my new server.
Changing maps, editing variables, changing server environment, gameplay, and so on. But, sadly it attracts few ppl. I need suggestions from yall. A server needs to be interesting, challenging, but still very enjoyable. There are pages of servers that dont get played on, mine on one of them. I believe I could make an awsome server, but I need the perfect combination. So, Im looking for the opinions of the ppl that luv adventure. Anything is accepted. I just needa know what to put on it wink:

well for variables i'd say not too crazy, like no SUPER fast shtos and no tank speed around even 60. unless you want a superspeed server but those usually are fun and a little popular for the first few days then they just die.

for maps, i'd say if your not a decent mapmaker start with someone elses (no offense and do ask them), for instance (sorry for those who i leave out in this short 'list') ducatiwannabe is a great mapmaker.
A map should be interesting, it should have hiding places, camping places (optional

), and an interesting place for bases (if CTF) and mabye little challenges to get somewhere here and there.

as for lag, minimum lag

.

and (this may not be so important) a catchy name

oh and another thing.. this is kinda cheap but put some bzadmin clients or bots in to raise it on the list, say 3 bzadmin clients or a lot of bots but then when people join take the bots out.
