Topic: Just Empty Servers?

Hey guys, I'm new to FS and just downloaded and updated the client yesterday.  I'm wondering if somehow I'm not fully patched because the few servers I see (like 7) are always either empty or under 20 people.  I expected more with such an awesome quality mod.  I've tried unchecking every search parameter except "Same Mod" and still get a few servers.  Right now for example there was only 1 person playing!  Say it isn't so!

Re: Just Empty Servers?

At the moment things are fairly quiet as it has been a while since any new content has been added to the mod (which will change shortly wink), but saying that, the servers still tend to get fairly well populated from around 8 to 9pm GMT on week nights, and over the weekend you have Community Games that get busy at around that same time which usually result in fairly full servers.

Re: Just Empty Servers?

There was 22 or 23 people on the BlackIntel server yesterday.

Unfortunately, that is the most I have seen on a weekday for a good month or so.  There are community games on a Saturday and Sunday (see the front page for times, it's the second newspost), where we get more peeps ingame.


EDIT: Talon got in there first.

Perhaps I'll take my Gaming Machine out of storage this weekend... tongue
