Are there particular times of day the servers are active? Aside from the idle tf2 server, they're all so dead. It saddens me. Do we create events to get people to jump on?
I think it's a bit due to the start of the new year, some people still need to find their way in their new education and stuff. On week days it's prime time between 20:00 and 23:00 in weekends it's mostly from 16:00 onwards. But it's fairly easy to fill a server! Just go to one that;s (almost) empty and invite some friends. Random people will join very quickly and you'll have a full server in no time. Someone just has to be the first!
^This , everytime i see vsh server offline (0/0) players,or any other i like to play than i just invite people and wait. Most of the times 2-3peoples actually accept the invite and joins the server 90% ignores it. But incase no1 joins,i go spectator and wait till some1 else joins and than they all join anyways when they see atleast 1-2players With that beeing said,dont be afraid to join a empty server just do it and invite some players and wait 8) -Donald
