Topic: I got a question

So ive noticed that there are a lot of empty servers or near empty ones, so I was wondering how many people actualy have this mod and is the community growing?

Re: I got a question

Hard to speculate but we know for sure that some people...
a) downloaded the mod and didnt like it, so it was therefore uninstalled, making it we gain a download but not getting a player
b) got tired of it already as most of the kids nowadays have adhd so they get bored of things too quickly tongue
c) people got sick of crashes and didnt have the patience to wait for the patch and therefore didnt get the patch or
d) they didnt expect a patch so soon and they havent looked back yet

Its a shame that while we have tons of good servers, its always a pain in the neck to find servers. They are either totally full or totally empty. :-/

Re: I got a question

so am I, when I search for servers, I never come up with more than 15, most are not populated, and there are only 2 servers with decent ping that I can play on, and they never have more than about 15 players (usually late at night)

"you gotta love noobs, the people who are actualy more stupid and useless than you are, knowing that the cyberworld is populated with them, makes you feel alive."

I think you need to look at your filters, because there are currently around 100 servers as you can see on http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php? … l&pg=1

But there are a lot of unpopulated servers, I wish people would shut them down again instead of fragmenting the small playerbase. There is almost 30 times as many slots available as needed.

Right now 129 are playing First Strike. You can see the usage on this graph

Green is active players, Red is available slots

Re: I got a question

Maybe many people should add a banner to their homepage, if they got one.

Another idea that I have: Ask your ingame BF2142 friends, wether they are interested in playing FS
