Name: Position
2fort 39
Dustbowl 133
foundry 287
payload 347
valve maps 453
Harvest 470
cp rotation 946

​

Let us make a goal of getting foundry, valve maps, and payload below 200.​
 
I think our servers have been really awesome lately, I have not been able to join a server for 30 minutes before, which is a good thing!
 
as i told spidey a couple days ago, our 2fort server really should be higher up in the rankings. to date i have not been on a 2fort server as active as ours, at least during the day when im on. which means there must be some downtime happening at night. THERE MUST BE NO DOWNTIME. sleep is no longer allowed, we can all sleep when we're dead.
 
I'm really proud of these ranks, I'm hoping we could get all of them up into the 300's. CP rotation...maybe top 500 lol. Still were all doing really good, lets keep it up you guys! :)
 
I tried to split my time between DB and payload this week and the rankings drop.... guess im back to only DB!
 
yay 2fort >.<

Anyway, Dustbowl is only falling because of the absence of my sparkling personality.
 
2 fort goes down at like 3am.. SO all europeans must play 2fort anyone on the west coast must stay up and keep it up. Anyone on the east cost named 5star, can do what he likes cuz hes 5star but ill try to play 2fort..
 
The main problem, and why the servers are ranked as they are, is that they are not being filled up early and not staying full late at night. Get them going earlier and keep them filled longer and they will move up.

Here is how you should make this post. Posting the ranks is good, but go a step further and break down the information for other to know how to help, for while help is always good, utilizing the help efficiently is better. This is just a quick one, I don't play the servers enough to break it down properly. Also, you can make a template if you want and you can fill in the link and analysis to make this post quicker.

Key to this is to target servers in such a way that you keep your top rank ones up, and increase the rank of the lower ones. Usually, one server at a time, don't stretch yourself. 2fort and dustbowl should be the main focus, keep them in the top, then focus on one more.

Final note, just simply having one admin that is doing a good job in a server can keep it populated for longer. Good admining goes a long way. I will say it at the start, good admin presence is one of the main determining factors in server rank.

GameTracker is a great tool for this. I'll do Dustbowl and 2Fort as an example.

​

The rank is doing good, first graph. But we were top 50 on the 9th of this month, so in a few weeks we fell almost 100 in rank. 2fort is more stable, second graph. Looking at the player graphs can give you some idea for the discrepancy. Or it could simply be the normal cycle. Hard to tell if you don't follow the servers often.

The first graph is 2fort, second is dustbowl. Staying populated for that extra hour or two is the main difference. Get dustbowl to stay full longer at night and it will go back to 50.

Lastly, you can have a sticky with the server info, banner and graphs like I posted, for everyone to reference quickly and know what to do and where to go.
 
Yes I agree with the goal. GET FILLING

Also, when you guys see a server going down a bit, just join in and usually the server will pick up soon, for example you see CP at 18/24, you join, and usually it will just fill back to 22/24 in about 10mn.
Do that when you're almost falling asleep in front of your screen, and it will be helpful for the community and server ranks.
Also guys, when you guys are filling or are alone on a server, get in the habit of asking who's looking for a clan, or who's interested in joining eGO. We are recruiting guys, and we're looking forward to increase our division numbers, for activity, fun and win!

I mean, we're kinda bandying about some pretty high level tactical decision making talk here. Are we focused on our top few servers, and maybe +1 or do we try to bring up the lowest, while keeping 2fort and DB up. There seems to be quite a lot of disagreement. Evidenced based decision making is always fun, so props to Frank Booth.

As a lot of ppl have mentioned, even our popular servers go down late at night, which is partly because the latency for people far from the US is going to be higher. But, filling at night is hard, since one or even two people idling or playing in a server won't really attract anyone else either. If you wanted to tackle that problem head on, you would need a group of people who were to some degree or another committed to idling or getting on late at night (relative to server time) specifically to fill servers to a serviceable and attractive degree. That, again, requires forethought and planning.

Blah blah more serious stuff blah blah.
 
If 2fort gets to rank 35, I will do... something. I don't know what though. Eat 5 Mustoreos?
 
If anyone wants to help get server ranks up and has times they'd like to help but can't play, please check out my responsible idling thread and GamingRobot32's idling tool thread and get idling when you can't play.

Note: actually playing on servers is always better thank idling, but idling can be better than not being on servers at all. Please idle responsibly though!
