keeping ti populated is a problem,though once the ws guys come on it gets going pretty good,we got up to 14 or something today.

Constructive Criticism:

In my experience trying to populate various clans servers, 64 slot servers don't seem to want to populate. Between 24 and 32 are the optimum sizes for a regular player base. 16 is too small and things like 48 are a bit of an odd number.

May i suggest 2 x 32 player servers, one in the US of A and one in Europe?

Doggie (As much of a moaner he is) may have a point, where the high pings are putting off some of the Europeans. I'm happy to play with high pings but it still doesn't encourage me to go and play, along with 64 slot servers seem to have a bad aurora around them regarding base raping, hacking, and general "idiotness" of players

That's a good suggestion Oli, I'll run it by the server council, see what they think.

RKO: So, rather than have a game with a group of people in, you want to divide the numbers even further just for the sake of a little better ping.

I get 90+ ping, so maybe i'm biased.

Thats not the idea of it. The idea is that, with a smaller server, better pings, and a lot of people coming from Europe, that at least one or even better both servers get populated. RKO come in this thread, and read my post about it at the top and it'll all make sense

64 player is a bit of a beast!

(from same thread)

It's just a suggestion. There are some people who would benefit from this much more than just a better ping, but the connection overall would be more stable.
