    We have a bunch of new servers, but for some odd reason they are staying empty while i can see other community's have full servers. At some point servers needed to be registered which where registered the moment the big bang stopped :(

    Anyway, to say in short, i would appreciate if you can fill up one off the empty servers, i still see all maps 1 and 2 cramped full till the top in no time and then nothing. You can easilly fill up a all maps 3 or 4 of whatever. The more often we fill it the more players we will get back in return.

    thanks in advance

    also note, that if you vote for crits of, it will not get any new players from quickplay.. (thanks valve) so we might be thinking of just setting crits turned on for all servers and leave 1 no crits servers for those that dont like it.

    Why? The Lethal Zone Group has 130k members.

    The thing is guys that some of those 130k users have no IDEA that new servers have been added. I need to add them to favourites myself. And since #3 crashed I didnt feel like playing as the other servers DO NOT remember my crit preference.

    What I meant is that its useless to host ads on popular websites if we have a group with 130k members.

    It's 20:18 now and the only LZ server that's not full is AM#4. All the rest is full. Nice going!

    :edit: It's 20:22 and there are 9 people on already!

    Yeah i think we will do that on saturday, when its more busy..

    Also i got the tip to restart the servers daily to reconnect to quickplay it seems.. so we are doing that now too. At 4 o clock at night (around that time) also good to have the servers fresh again. Bigger chance of being stable for a longer period of time.

    Ow and wacked, contact me for your crit issue, we will have a look etc etc..

    Also note that crits preference is LZ wide, no crits on all maps 1 or 2, means no crits on 4 5 and 6 etc..

    @ALL: as a reminder, just search in the ingame browser, type in "lethal" as tag.. and you should find ALL servers. Its that easy guys.

    ha allready have them all in my list ;)

    and i think that's the best thing we can do (reverting AM servers to crit servers -> indeed snel thank you valve nice way to alienate people who choose to vote) and maybe that way the AM3 server will get flooded by regs :D

    Off-topic:
    Do the servers go down automagicly at around 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning? I had a couple of times an error: Server Shutting Down. I never had this before... Quite annoying: you are on a roll (lets say a roll with 3 dominations... as engineer), your minisentry is happily picking off scouts and rocketjumping soldiers when suddely the game is gone, you see the TF2 main menu with that ANNOYING message/error: Server Shutting Down. Talking about an anticlimax... Like yesterday ( I was engy xD); I got 2 doms and then kapow; no more playing...

    Well if it says "server shutting down" this is usually because an update for TF2 has just been released.

    So when a new update is detected, it shuts the servers down so they can be updated ASAP. Sure we basically kick loads of players out, but the thing is, if they are the first ones around that are up to date, people join them.

    So its a loss for a greater gain you see :)

    Snelvuur said something, somewhere about servers automatically restarting around that time to increase reliability.

    And usually you get a warning message ingame 1 minute before the update.

    Yesterday we had 2 updated not to mention all the crashes which valve needs to fix.
