hey matt, idea incoming!
when we finish the map (which i know is a long way off but whatever), what about we redecorate the map for different events. like for christmas we put up christmas decorations and give zombies christmas hats and for halloween we put jacko'lanterns around the place and dress the zombies in costumes (if that can be done). i think that this would help keep the server alive and new for everyone, and keep the staff some stuff to do after the server is complete. we could also have tim retexture some of the items (like the melee items) for the events,
if it wasnt clear, we would build on a copy of the map and then switch the maps out for a week or so over the event period.
hope you like my idea! :3
