I now co-own a game server company and was wondering if people here would like to see a free public server 100 tick. If there is some interest in this I will try and open one up. Will need someone to admin it though as well

Is there really a point in having a server for a practically dead game?

Well that is why I am asking before I set one up. I would like to know if people would use it.

I don't think it's worth your time mate, in all honesty.

Myself, I'd say that unless you can get a gimmick to get people into your server (Like the insane, yet genius mods that used to be on Bowen's server) you've not got much chance of getting many people in.

So, the question is: Is it worth trying to make some kind of gimmick to lure people into a dying game?

I'd quite like to see a server on a par with the old DXMS server. DXMS or other 3rd party maps (let's face it, the defaults are tiring).

It IS dead, and any people playing it would either be nutty and/or obsessed and/or sad enough to still play, or they'll be newbie players with no clue as to what is going on.

You'd have to face the fact that your server would be rather empty most of the time, but there's a possibility that those who play it would be either hardcore fans or fresh meat!

An idea for a funny gimmick:

Scrap every weapon in one map. Instead, have a mutator that would allow people to fire off energy blasts, Dragonball Z style.

Nerf Arena mod for DX, just with "generic brand foam flying missile thingy". Old nerf arena game was actualyl based on Unreal engine, so wouldn't be that hard to take some inspiration from the game
