Why is pr volume so low. Anyone else notice that. I've been on 3 different times today and hardly any people. I'm dumbfounded. There isn't a better mod out there. Could it be cause madden 10 is out. I know me personally thats what i've been doing lately. But i don't get it. Is it cause school back in. I remember we did a thread before asking how old the people playing pr were. The results where a whooping victory for the teens. Get your homework done and show up for your deployment lol.

i can see 120servers and about 350-400 players online right now. Some servers havent been up after bf 1.5 because that patch didnt work on some older OS or something i think, not so sure.

EDIT: and this player amount was when there was morning in europe and night in USA, so prettymuch worst time of the day, and still 400 players =)

ye there is currently 423 players playing PR at the second and we are no where near peak time.

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

Check your server filters, you are most likley have some on that are making it so you can't see all the servers (/players)

Well not everyone wants to have a realistic game like PR. Considering that most gamers prefer vBf2 or even Call of Duty 4 Gameplay. They would rather have a 10 mins game rather than a game that last at an average of 1 to 2 hours. Not that they are not willing to try it out, I do see some vBf2 players trying out PR.

And that the country i'm playing from somewhat limits to only a few servers, so there isnt much servers that are populated to play from without getting kicked for high ping.

Back in time, there were like only 5 populated servers every night and no one complained ;-)

I'd rather have those 5, than 15 full of retards.

Huh? theres atleast 10 full 64 player servers during our prime time @ 20:00->(PRT+3). Also there's many US servers which are practically full apart from the late night. There's usually ~1000 players during the prime time in EU.

Have you played on TacticalGamer, Chicago Hardcore or Virginia servers? I don't believe that it's impossible to find squads who speak english.

Look for *NwA* since 1.5 we have been running full at 60man from 6pm till 3am most days UK time. We have now took the desision to only allow a max of 3 *NwA* tagged players per squad. Also we will put other clans on the same side as there clan mates. If you visit our forum and request it we will add your clan tags to smart balance so the server puts you on the right side as your mates as you load in. Also welcome new players just give us a shout in global speak and when you mess up we will let you know with out the kick but please dont make the same mistake twice.

Best MOD for BF2 by far!

Yeah pretty much blame it on school/job :(

Also not many gamers are patient like PR players and don't like waiting.

You may lag on TG, but iirc the kick for ping either isn't or is something insane like 750...so if you need a fix and can cope with the lag, you're sure to find mostly eng voip squads.

I've looked at the server list at some random times (0600 US EST, for one) and there's almost always at least a couple servers with 40+ (which is IMO enough for any 64 layer 2km map), and if there's no eng voip squad you can always make your own.

if it was as simply as making a topic about low pop to get players to play a mod then all the mods would have loads of players playing them... :roll:
