    It is frustrating.

    The primary reason we opt to play on our own servers is because we have control and final say over the potential idiots who may join.

    Seeding the server has been a problem lately. I've been backed up at work and haven't been getting in as much game time as I want. We all have day jobs! Except you Bill :)

    It all really comes down to seeding and getting the servers ranked up. I used to try to get them seeded early in the morning and be full all day. Latelty they've been only getting traffic around 12:00pm or later than die around 11:00pm which is waaay too early.

    If I could I'd seed them more often.

    Day before yesterday I had my sister put my computer in the servers. Was there most of the day and not a single person joined. I could tell cause when I got home I looked at the ProCon chat, it shows who joined, and nothing had happened.

    :confused:

    That sucks!

    We just need more people to see more often.

    What's hard is when you seed with just one account. Someone joins and looks around for you, realizes you're AFK then leaves. So unless like 3-4 people join at once via a party join, seeding is something that has to be tended to.

    We'll get it back to what it used to be. Just look at it this way.

    Our server was once ranked 291 out of 12,000. Now it's in the 800 range. Which means there are atleast 799 servers doing better than ours. There is still life out there in the BF3 community, we just need to fight to get our share of it back.

    Competition for customers becomes more fierce when half of the community has already moved on to other things.

    If someone could please take the idle kick timer off the servers I will gladly sit in there while I'm at work. I tried to sit in there last night for a bit but was kicked after 3 min of idle time.

    Yeah, that would be a good idea, then if an admin joins and the server is full have him check idle times....if they can do that, and start kicking the seedlings.

    I have removed the idlekicker. I would have liked to the other day, but the server was full and that change requires a reboot. So I did it the other day. Cool story right? lol. It's early.. leave me alone! C_C
