As I mentioned in this thread,
http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=143493) I have been hosting "real FFA" events on my CTF server. The events have been popular and now our friends at Clan [USA] have generously offered to host a regular event Tuesday nights in addition to my Thursday night events.
Another server will have them on Wednesdays. We hope to eventually have enough servers in our Alliance to have an event every night of the week.
As you have noticed, Kurgan, leaving a server on "real FFA" doesn't work. You have to draw a critical mass of the few remaining traditional deathmatch players together to be at the same server at the same time. That's why these events have been successful.
Even if people have no experience with full-weapon full-Force Free For All, come by and at least try it, or spectate. It's a lot of fun!
