Uhm.. hey guys:P

It looks like there are less people playing on the servers.....
Becaus the servers are almost always empty. Maby its only in europe...
Or are the servers in USA also more ofter empty?

Its too bad becaus mostly when i wanna play TF2 Egypt. Or DOD flash. The servers are empty. :scared: :crying:

It's mainly the time of year - our server population fluctuates with school, work, holidays, etc. You should see extra people on this weekend, then a big influx as the semester wraps up around Christmas. Just ride the wave and try to help keep our servers busy :-)
 
This was already posted for discussion in DoD General; please keep in mind that the past two weeks have also seen the launch of some of the biggest games of the year, including L4D2, AC2, and that other game without dedicated servers. Once people get tired, they will return to the servers, just like always.
 
Great point jeod66 - totally forgot to mention game releases :-) This time of year is PACKED with new games, which almost always bring a decrease in play for a period of time.
 
Ok Thanks for the reply guys:P I'll try to get some extra members into the clan.

May i shout in the game ( as an e-member ): "Like our server? and wanna be part of this community? Visit our website www.edgegamers.org and join us!"
Or most i be admin to say that?:P
 
It's fine to suggest that public players check out our community and consider joining, but you don't want to make a habit of spamming chat with recruitment lines. The occasional blanket statement is perfectly acceptable, but you may find more success in creating friendships with regulars you see on the servers and then talking with them one-on-one in general conversation about the community. But the short answer is yes, we encourage all of our members to sing the praises of the community ;-) Just use common sense on how often you do it.
 
Left 4 Dead 2, MW2 and Borderlands are three games that have been taking up a lot of peoples times.
 
it's the time of year iv been doing 16 to 20 hours days so i haven't even logged into steam in weeks.

and for getting more people on board it is way better too make it more personally and be friends people first than talk to them about joining feels more human that way cause even a server bot could throw blanket statements down and people are more likley to join if they feel that there are allready people here that they enjoy playing with.
 
By far the craziest year for big releases - especially with BioShock 2 and Assassin's Creed on the horizon as well.
 
Players of TF2 seem to be dropping around the board. Most of my frequented servers are low on players as well. Once the hipe and awe around L4D2 dies down a bit the servers will start to fill up again. (I hope)
 
same here cod4 servers are busy like crazy sometimes I find myself waiting to get in because its full haha
