Maybe the bad rotation is to offset the bandwidth bill, since apparently people leave during that time...
On topic though, would you guys settle for a different map rotation? I don't see why ops is necessary when lots of people have ops to plenty of other servers, so if you wanted to play arm or whatever, you could just head there.
I would agree that EV1 could use a different map rotation (I'd like to see a nice mix of retro and brand new maps, instead of the more-of-the-same we see on every other server).
