BF2S Forums My Server Sucks

A tracert tells me it's somewhere in TX....Is that the case? Also, pinging the server gives me some serious inconsistency...who's the provider, Chuy? Looks like they're hosed in the first place...See below ping:

Anywhere from 65ms to 900+...what's the deal with that? No wonder I don't play on it....probably shows up as 700 or so when I search...hit the provider, and ask what the dealio is...IMHO.

I was on for two quick rounds earlier.  Had to stop due to the kids wanting help with their games. 

If only this activity keeps up.  I usually only play at night.

Yeah it was fun... The only thing that is missing is 1.4 hopefully that will rectify my ping issues

Chuy - the cool thing here is that you can try handing it over to admins, and if it doesn't work, canx it!  As for populating it - there aren't enough servers running EF & SF (IMHO - keep yer flames to yer self!).  Again - try some new things: Monday night is EF night, Wednesday is SF night, Friday is AF, the other nights are "Random Map" nights.

I think that isnt good....much people only have Battlefield 2 and no EF, SF or AF.....

If that settings done...the server going down, down, down....

The idea with Admin who are Hard but Fair is good...i like servers where always Admins Online and do there job very well....thats a reason to come back!

Quite a few people have EF and AF, serious. You would be surprised at how many units sold, but no one bothers to play because the nubs like Karkand too much.

Maybe no one has ever bothered looking in the EF forum section, but peeps are often looking for servers to play on. If it had EF, I'd be playing it all day. I'm always looking for an EF server. I'm sure the folks on the EF forums would join as well.

Well my karkand 24/7 server is ALLWAYS full, so much so that i had to post that i needed admins to trim the fat away (hotel glitchers) now i have a team of admins and alot of regular players, if it crash's 99% of the people rejoin.

My advice to you make it a city maps 24/7 server, and add wake in to, i useraly play karkand or mahitur and i have joined the US server alot only to find it empty, ive messed around on my own with a group of 3 of us and no body else joined after 2hours we got bored..........

Also alot of people dont like 64 player servers either because there machines cant handle it or they just get shot every 2 seconds..... try cutting it down to a 32 size server as alot of people find them alot more enjoyable

Damm dude your grammer and spelling Suck

think you need to take a few pills from your medpack fella

I'm a semi regular BF2s Euro server player. I think the difference is that B.Suss, Hellhead, Goldman, dancer, slayer, thedude and all the other BF2s Admins make the place feel like a home. They encourage ppl from the forums to wear the [BF2s] tag before their name to show they want to play team work and join a [BF2s]squad.  There is always an admin present to filter out all the TKer's etc so you end up with a good game. VOIP doesn't work so we are all on Team Speak and the chat is always good with plenty of humor. The guys warmly welcome anyone who joins the server and/or TS with the tag. Add that to the Forum section to allow us to brag/cry/shout about the previous nights killing and *BAM* you have a community. I have been in a clan before and left because it was to much work and time. The BF2s Euro server has that warm clan know everyone feel without the commitment. My hat goes off to everyone that makes it a reality. My advise would to get some committed regular, older players to build another sub-community within this flourishing community. RESPECT!!!

I'd join it more often, but it's always on kark when I look. =/

Thanks for the nice compliment. *takes hat off back to jahmanred*

The server admins are not only there to enforce the rules on our server and take action if someone breaks them. A big part of our job is motivating forum members from europe to join us for a game and we try our best to provide them with an asshat free server. So they can have a great time, some excellent teamwork and hopefully come back for more. I tried motivating people to join myself by putting up threads like /">Who are all these guys wearing [BF2s] tags?. So you re not just playing with a bunch of ingame characters but you also get to meet the real person behind it.

We started of with just a couple of guys and it sometimes seemed impossible to get the game started. I even wrote a quick guide on how to get the game started so that other ppl with less experience could try it too. We were basically begging people of our knees to please not disconnect and stay so we could get the game started lol. Now our server is populated at the weirdest times, sometimes when i wake up at 0600cet to go to work, there's still guys playing on it. Regularly when i come back from work, the game has already started on it. We had to make a new rule so we could kick for members when the server is full and members cant get on.

I noticed the new EU and US server sub forums in bf2s servers so i guess a decision has been make to not get rid of the us server and to try and set up a community for it? Can anyone tell us more about this?

That's a little chart of how ... erm ... "popular" the bf2s U.S. server has been over the last year. Pretty abysmal, honestly.

Meanwhile, the EU server has been doing really, really well. So well, I had to go make a sub-forum just for them to banter on with each other.

So, the decision is that I'm either going to trim the fat and get rid of it, or get a team of people like B.Schuss and his squadron of goons to run it.

What do you think?


(In other news, thank duk0r for giving you all RSS feeds of just about everything on the forums )

turn it in to an aussie server, i am sure it would be a big hit!!!
