Insufficient Servers

There aren't enough servers for anyone to have fun in PR, it seems.

If you check the "populated" box, your servers go from 15 to 3 at most. As a result, I think the devs should restrict server ownership so that there is once 24/7 server for each map. If a map is popular enough a 2nd server can be added. This way, there would be only a few options (however more than now). Feedback?

What version are you talking about? .5 I pick up over 112 active servers with my filters on, and just about 15 in .607 beta.

Couple of things I think...

Right now I think the community is split between Ver6 Beta and Ver5. Possibly when Ver6 becomes the standard , you'll find more populated servers.

Time of day and season. Most of us have lives that extend beyond the Internet (though obviously I don't cause here I am posting a reply

) so summer means holidays , long evenings outside etc. Maybe when fall sets in.....

Also the time of day can make a difference. Few can play in the early hours as they have work/school.

I doubt PRM will ever have a huge number of populated servers , it's just not a main stream game (like CoD or Armed Assault) and caters to a select audience.
But , you only need ONE populated server to play and when I want to play , I can always find somewhere. Might not be the greatest ping sometimes , but the game is still basically playable.

Just some random thoughts.

Why did this remind me of "Insufficient Vespene Gas"

Because StarCraft is made of win?

Spawn More Overlords!

Anyway, depends when you play and what not. Theres usually free spots on the populated servers and I've never really found it to be that huge a problem...
