Project Reality Forums

From what I usually see, there is a lot of PR servers. However majority of them are useless. As only a selected few ever get populated. Like a couple of months ago you would find a lot of servers well populated and most usually full or near so. People tend to visit there favorite servers like Tactical Gamer. However as of lately (since the new patch) I have been noticing a huge drop in activity. Most servers when I get on are barely populated. Only 1 or 2 servers ever are full and the rest are stuck at 4-28 players. Even the TG server has been very easy to get on lately.

I get on usually at 9:00 - 11:00 PM EST so I don't know if majority of PR players are early morning gamers but I rarely see very much. That's just from my eyes view. There are however days when population booms again but that's just for a day or two. Most days as of lately is becoming very difficult to find any good servers with good maps playing.

PR population is awesome nerver have i experiance all servers without a minimum of 100 people << at its worst hours

Sounds like there's a problem for NA players if things are that bad. By that time most Euro players are asleep, whereas in peak EU time there's also some American players on in the afternoon, as well as there being a bigger community.
I guess for Americans it might be a good idea to come on earlier in the evening if it's possible for max activity.

Theres always like 3+ servers that are either full or around 50 players + so population is never an issue.

PR has a large community.

I think the OP understood it by now...

Servers playing All Games | Server / Player Search | Game-Monitor.com :: Server Search, Monitoring, Stats and more

That site is very useful, GameMonitor.com.

You can see all the servers for Battlefield 2, its specific mods, and in certain countries, as well as a whole heap of other online games.

Check it out and see how many servers there are for yourself.

Your answer is here...

1,083 players at time of post (1600 EST GMT -5).

Shouldn't be, there is usually more populated NA servers than there are EU servers. However I haven been trying to get on this ausie server because my ausie friend recommended it and they have these weekend night where they do role playing. NATO having to capture the insurgent commander alive and the insurgents having to protect him and make sure NATO doesn't capture him, etc. Can't get on because of ping issues.

The problem I face is that there is only a selected few servers, usually 2-3 servers that are highly populated but they are full. Than there is about 9 other servers but majority of those servers range from population of 3-16, and the a couple range from 16-28. Usually on bad maps. I make due with the 16-28 servers despite higher population being a much better gameplay experience.
