Quickplay wasn't perfect, but this is like lowering the neighborhood crime rate by releasing a throng of starving Deinonychus. Everyone gets eaten by ferocious early-Cretaceous dinosaurs, all for a problem that wasn't even all that bad in the first place.

Addendum: At what point are we allowed to panic?

Shouldn't this affect other private servers in a similar manner?

Yep- I don't know what other communities are doing, but they have to be hurting too. I don't want to sound all doom and gloom, but unless Valve reverses their decision, edge gamers servers are gonna turn into ghost towns, and sooner rather than later!

I can't speak for eGO server but I assure you before quick play was ever a thing private servers did A-OK.

We need quickplay. TF2 has changed so that if you want full and steady servers, you have to have it. Remember when we were tossing ideas around for alternate server maps? Many of them wouldn't support quickplay, and therefore were no-go's. Too many people use quickplay now to just ignore it.

Also private servers are different case because they are often populated by invite only.

I meant servers- not private servers and if quick play is becoming less helpful wouldn't now be a viable time to test out the ideas that don't support quick play and see how they do.
 
Before quickplay was a thing, private servers did okay because you could only use the server browser. Now, with the quick play button funneling people to Valve servers, it's a whole different kettle of fish.

Quite so. And Fatyguy, it doesn't matter what we do on our servers to make them more popular. Right now, the sheer volume going into the valve servers is enough to render any changes to our servers moot. Not enough people uncheck that box or use the browser to find us. The bulk of the people that play on our servers are 'funneled' in from quickplay matchups. Without them... we have nothing.

tl;dr

Invader Zim pic? !up Sanctified.

But on a serious note, we might have to compensate for the amount of people reduced from the quick-play update. Does eGO do any advertisements or anything like that?

I shall now start inviting all my IRL friends to join eGO and play TF2 on our servers all day...
 
We need more people to step up and join the FAST FILL TEAM......
