With the release of .8(whenever it comes) PR will need more players to have at least one full server per game mode, just to make sure non of the DEVs work goes unoticed.
What are your guys' ideas to promoting PR?

I tried posting some ideas for the 0.8 promotion in the suggestion section, but no dev or pub said nothing.
I think they have some surprise, again.

The Server Admins amongst the PR community (TB, iGi, TG, T&T, RiP, 10th etc.) could work together, so one server could run one gamemode and another the second one. At least at the start of the 0.8 release.

Dont know why we need any servers running 24/7 modes other than Insurgency. Im personally looking forward for this to add variety to the same ol' boring map list instead of playing one map modes all day.

I think insurgency doesn't have to have a dedicated 24/7. If it gets fixed I would love to see pub servers run some insurgency in the map rotation.

You do realize that PR is the most played mod for BF2 there is? And that player numbers have increased with every release? I don't think player numbers will be the problem.
So I've changed the title for correctness.

servers will be full, site will be slow. All registered forum members should get a link PMed to them 2 days before its released to public.(Non community members)

I think which gamemodes etc will be played can only be decided once each clan/community has had a go with the 0.8 build.

Game modes will probably be map dependant...

This is one of the more interesting threads for me, as it shows that the community are - without any direction, actively going out and promoting PR to their contacts.
Well done, its really refreshing to see something like this from time to time, now go and spread the word, as .8 is gonna be a HIT !!!
