populating the server

[[JiF]phantomx]

As many of you have noticed the JiF server has been at capacity since launch, but as of two days ago it has barely gotten any users. It seems that EA as changed the way that Quick Match works and this is causing our server to not get populated. This appears to be happening to alot of people. will keep track of it for now. I have lowered the amount of people need to join to play so that we can still get on an play

Didn't get a chance to play last night and went on expecting to wait and no one is on...

Reading through the GameServers forums, alot of people are finding this. Most people are using the quickmatch option to get into games and they have increased the pool for quickmatch servers and now a lot of peoples servers are sitting empty....kind of sucks...

This has happened to nearly every new server we have gotten over the past few years. At launch our servers are full, then something is changed by EA or whoever and we got nada. So tired of them doing stuff like this....

Is there a way that you can contact EA by email or live chat and request that the site gets put in the quick match pool?

Last night we had a few jiffers on the server but not enough to start a game.
From what I noticed you now need 8 player on to start a game.

The reason I think its like this is to stop people padding rank.

Sorry I have been absent guys.

Hope to have it reinstalled on the computer and back in the game soon!!

ya, last night for some reason the server reverted back to 8 minimum to start a round...but a simple reboot of the server fixed it so that it will start on 5. Unfortunately 5 is the lowest I can put it before getting blacklisted (server not showing up in battlelog)....

The best thing to do is all follow someone to a server over the evening until we have enough to move over to our server. It seems to work, after a while people start joining in & our server fills up!
