not all new maps suck. and yes there are a lot that are unbalanced but its still nice to play something different for a change and still be within the renegade world.
There are a lot of new maps that are extremely fun to play and you cant tell me all the default maps are balanced and dont favor one side.
but the topic title is why dont most play. most dont play because they dont want to take the time to download the maps.

Most people are too lazy to download a mappack, that's the only reason.
When we had bunkersTS and snow in our rotation, the server always lost at least half of the players, even though there were auto announcements and join messages about the 2 fanmaps. We eventually took them out.
The auto downloader from TT will be made of pure win.

If your server has something other then the standard AOW, then the players will download the new maps. We have Snow and others in our rotation and we still have people playing in the server. If you force it long enough then eventually the players will get irritated everytime a new map loads and they wil download it just to avoid being kicked. It took us months to get the people used to the new maps, but the endresult is there.

We had them for at least 6 months. We don't have a high enough a000 to keep the game really interesting after half the players leave (takes long to get 10'ish players, so if half of them leave because of a map...).
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord
