Hardly any occupied servers ... at prime time?!

Hey all,
I've been an avid Fh2 and PR player for a looong time now, and I've noticed that since the last two patches have released, player numbers have dropped way down for PR. Right now, as of posting this, there are two servers up, one with 20 players and the other with 18. What happened??

Not another one of these threads.
Some people have been implying that PR is dieing for over 2 years now, yet multiple records have been broken for simultaneous players in the meantime.
The forum alone gets over 1000 visitors a day.

Not sure if you get this problem, but, when you update, do you get every server that runs PR?
I know when I lag it won't show all the servers, so yeah.
But I don't think PR is going to die anytime soon, I know that there are servers that run 64/64 pretty much 24/7.

Hello hockey, welcome to the forums
I think somtimes people's server lists don't update properly, this was a BF2 problem as well.
PRSPY - server and player browser and tracker for Project Reality - create a buddy list - launch PR directly
PR spy as linked above is correct and reliable, and iirc you can join servers using it as well

so try that instead
and lads, welcome new members to the forum, it costs nothing to be nice

You posted this at 2104 my time - at that time I was quite annoyed because there were no spaces in my 5 favourite servers, a few minutes later i was playing in the NATO Public server, I got kicked because of some shader problem (now fixed) and in the few seconds it took for me to get back on, the server was full. There's a problem at your end, try updating the server list.

Well, it does seem I live in the wrong time zone, because after about 9-10 PM, the US servers seem to have a lull in population.
Living on the west coast has it's faults, but meh.

Also, make sure you're refreshing the right list(Coop vs Multiplayer)

Also sometimes I find all the servers don't load. If you don't see many full servers, go back to the main menu and then go back though the menu's to the server browser again, it completely refreshes the list. I find an update doesn't fix it before someone says that =].
