View Full Version : Getting people to populate the server

Well,

I've been looking at some trending over time on the server.

Some days the server doesn't populate, or populates late.

On the days it does populate full, a full populate usually happens within 30 min, and half the server fills in about 15.

On the days it doesn't, I see either people joining and dropping off within 1 min, or people don't join alltogether.

I guess what I'm asking is what can I do to promote people filling up the server. It is constantly full over 16 - 18 people minimum once it fills up for hours and hours on end.

It just people will not spend more than a few minutes to enter an empty server or if there is only 1 or two people on to fill it up.

We now have one of the, if not the most powerful TF2 server out there, and it only runs a single instance and I would like to promote people to play on it - but I need people to take the initiative to hop on when it's empty.

Well, before I found Phlorph I pretty much always had a large number of filters set to find games, two of them being that the server is neither full nor empty, and I have a feeling that a lot of people roll like that.

What makes Phlorph awesome is the accessible admins, the players, my single digit ping, and the community. I have a feeling that it will just naturally grow as more people discover how fun it is to play with the people here.
