Filling servers

Hello again, everyone! Toastado here with some advice. I've been noticing lately that when I start to play in the morning, some of the servers are empty. So, I go on and I'll invite people and I'll steam chat them to get them to play on the server I'm trying to fill. It doesn't always work, and it doesn't always fill the server. BUT at least I try. I've also noticed that there are tons of people, even tons of eGO members, on my friends list who play DoD:S and love the server I'm trying to fill, who just WON'T TRY TO FILL THEM. They won't play unless they're full. No names, but many times, I've had many different eGO's tell me "get 6 people there and I'll play". And while this may not seem like a bad thing, It's very bad. However, it is much worse when someone says (and I've actually had an eG say this to me before) "Get it nearly full and I'll play). THIS is horrible. It's very hard to get a server started when everyone says "get 6 people and I'll play". If no one will play on a server with less than 6 people, then unless they were already full, no one will ever play the server.

My advice?
1. Play on servers, even if they're empty. It doesn't matter how many people are there, YOU CAN GET MORE TO COME!
2. Invite people while you're playing on the server. And when you invite them, talk to them on steam chat, too. Say things like "come play on this server it needs to be filled" or something like that.
3. If someone else invites you to come play on an empty eGO server, DO IT! Don't just say" I'll play when there are more people"
4. If there is a HUGE problem with filling that server, say something on the forums. Start a new thread and say "*INSERT SERVER HERE* needs to be filled more often" (example: Flash Friday. We needed Flash to be filled more often, so some smart member came up with Flash Friday.).

Thank you for reading,

Hey Toastado, some good comments. I'm always up for helping fill the servers. Add me in the link of my signature :) That's all the help I can offer you :biggrin:
 
I completely agree with you toastado, I love playing some Kalt but never get around to do so because the servers are empty sometimes
 
Yeah man great idea I too have went on and on with people needed to fill servers. I'm also down with helping anytime! :)
 
Set re-spawn to 10 seconds and the games are more playable when full. Otherwise full maps are just grinding sessions of boredom.
 
If I'm playing DoD and a server needs to be filled, then by all means feel free to shoot me a message and ask me to come fill it up. I will do my best to be there! :)
 
I really haven't had time, and when I do, I don't always want to play DoD.

I don't always want to play it, either. A lot of the time, I'll be on TF2 or CS:S. And I do see how if you don't have a lot of time, you wouldn't play on an empty server and try to fill it. I know I don't always do it. But if anyone reading this has the time, and they see an empty eGO server; Please at least try to invite people to it, Just play for a few minutes. If no one joins, you can move on if you don't have a lot of time or are bored out of your mind.
 
That edit shows a bit of the old man coming out in Toastado. (On the original post)
