[bf1942] Anyone have a popular non-ranked server?

[James Gurney]

Our non ranked server is a wasteland. Back in the day when we ran DC, it 
used to be full almost 24/7 (it would dip down to about 20 players at 
about 5am our time, but that was it). We have excellent ping, plenty of 
cpu, effectively unlimited bandwidth, but it seems the allure of having 
your name listed on a web page along with thousands of anonymous gamers 
is just too strong for 99% of the gaming world. We have a group of 
regulars who play and some nights it gets up to 30 or 40 players, but 
that's it.

We're hoping mods will help, but in the short term, it's very 
frustrating, especially when we've put time, effort and money into 
supporting the game in the past. I don't have any expectation it will 
ever change, so as a group we'll certainly look very carefully at games 
in the future before committing to them.
