[CF List] Map reset time (was: New To Crossfire)

[Todd Mitchell]

For sure.  I'm fairly new to Crossfire myself but this seems real obvious -
I don't find a problem with the map resets.  I think that having more maps -
more directions about where some of these maps are (for the lower levels) -
and perhaps having multiple possible starting locations (pick a few
developed cities and have a random placement server option to spread
starting players out a bit) would be more fun for everyone than lowering map
reset times.

      My opinion is that we should not significantly lower reset times.

      Some maps are easier than others, eventually even "too easy"

      compared to the rest. Those get cleared out first, then they are empty.

      That is only fair IMO - it helps to rebalance the impact of such maps.

      Players are not supposed to keep repeating the same maps all over

      Besides, it is a fact that about 90% of the players spend 90% of their
     
     time
