<div class="IPBDescription">Much to explain, not big enough space!</div> I notice as i join servers im like many people who check the filter and do "people are playing", "not full". I realize that there are many low ping servers that have like 0/24 and i think to my self what a waste! I dont really blame the people though they want action and they want it now! When there is two people who join the server not even then can you start a game you at least need 4 people which is really hard to do unless major luck and 4 people join at the same time. This also brings me to a thought... how do the servers with 24/24 come to be? Who waites there and waites for other people to join or rather is it a 24/7 server? I see many mods fail because people are too afraid to join a 0 server and it seems that the majorty wont so many servers go down and soon this mod might do the same... what do you guys think?

1.) Empty servers ping low because the CPU process is low. The ping rises depends on how the CPU process handles it, meaning that a low ping server may eventually rise to 500+ or maintains the same low 90 or less
2.) Empty servers, when joined with about 2-4 people, would be quickly populated in the next 15 minutes, as many groups of people look for these less populated server to join so they can play together.
P.S. thank you irc people who take their time to use it, you are keeping this game alive!
No offense but I dont join servers with bots. I believe bots in a server can do more harm than good. How many times have you seen a TFC server almost completely full but when you join it is nothing but bots? Well I have expirenced that way to many times. I have found more often than not ppl will avoid bot filled servers.
