New Community server(s) for v1.0?

[Darman1138]

Just so we don't pull a SimCity and don't have enough servers up for everyone, should we look into creating a Community run server? We could have members sign up to be admins and if they have two other players vouch for them they could be an admin.

Either way, I'm worried that when v1.0 comes out we'll get a huge influx of players who will be looking for servers to play on. I think it'd be better to over compensate than to have 300 player slots and 500 players looking to play.

We have at this moment over 4k slots ) Don't worry

Check this statistics:

I don't even know what I'm looking for. Where does it say there are 4000 slots?

Combine the slots of all the active PR servers you and you will have ~4000 slots. Just look at the statistic Shneider posted, it says there are over 4k available slots right now. Even though I think that number is wrong it should be less I think.

But even if we got enough slots, what we need are active server admins. Servers without moderation are useless. But just as players will come back with 1.0, server mods/admins will too. And alot of communities can boot up a second or third server if needed.

very easy

Ok, thanks Shneider. Are those all updated version of PR though? If you go to PRSPY there definitely aren't 4000 slots there. I'm just wondering if some of those might be derelict servers that are still running .5 or something.

My 2nd calculation method:

1. Go to Battlefield 2 Server List | Search Bf2 Stats, Rankings, and Banners - Game Tracker

2. At this moment there are 62 servers online (and not all servers are listed on gametracker).
This is theoretically possible: 62 x 64 = 3968. More than enough, i think.

You are right. In reality are actually less server available.

No problem )

Calculation method N 3: =)

1. Download this freeware: https://code.google.com/p/greennetwork/downloads/detail?name=pr_gnetwork_setup_1046.exe&can=1&q=

or read in this thread https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f10-pr-bf2-general-discussion/82026-pr-green-network.html

2. Run it. Here you can see all servers and all versions PR ))

I hope this helps to explain my procedure =)

p.s . sorry for my bad english

PRspy only shows servers with players and hides aaaaaaaall the empty servers (and that's a LOT).

You don't have to worry about anything .
