You may note that I have now also updated how the bosses spawn.

Feel free to leave any comments and questions you may have.

After a long time of consideration and planning, I am happy to announce that Trade Pool Party is now part of the TF2TightRope community!

It has been 2-years since I started Trade Pool Party and alot has happened. Most notable is the move from England, to Australia and finally the USA.

As you all may be aware there have been some changes in player popularity going for a very full server, to a rather light crowd of players. I hope that in the months that follow, the server may once again thrive.

I looked at some old data I had recorded since Trade Pool Party was born and I can reveal the following;
During the Xmas Holidays of 2011, an average of Forty Thousand (40,000) players were seen connecting to the server each month.

And so, with joining TF2TightRope I suggest you all give it a look:

With a simple tweak of the weapon system, I have reduced the rifle ammo to promote roaming and activity from snipers. This should help to balance the sniper more and ease the complaints.

I have also added an interesting ragdoll effect and a constant confetti effect to each player.
