Our servers were actually more than twice as busy today than yesterday, thanks to the new browser that better rewards performance :). A lot of the time, it has just taken a few people in a server to get it going today.

Several things that have helped our server stay full since this last update:

First, we're now running PBBans.com in our server. That software is banning players on an average about 1.5 per hour, and when it does, it broadcasts that action as a chat message. The players love it, and laugh about it when it comes up. (Examples from the server logs below; chat msg in green) That software, along with a supreme NFO connection, allows us to provide an awesome, "honest" server that's protecting them from hackers. Edge has a thread going that explains how to use this software here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =50&t=4345.

Another thing that we've done is to put "Add Us to Your Favorites" in the automated server messages; every little bit helps.

Third thing is the name of the server; we include the city. Right now BC2 seems to be having problems declaring correct pings; I think players look for cities close to where they live b/c they know the ping will be better.

Finally, "seed" your server, as somebody earlier suggested. We tag up with our server name (PG) and let players see there are admins in the server. Never be rude or arrogant. Type "gg" after each round. Treat others as you would want to be treated, and I promise you, they'll come back.
