The reason for it is because when you open your client server list, and your client asks STEAM for a list of servers, STEAM will start giving you a list of servers, starting with servers whose IP address' 4th octet is 1, then 2, then 3, etc....
In fact, there are many servers out there that cannot even get listed because their IP's 4th octet is super high. So, having a low ip is best if you can get it. If you can't, then I guess you are screwed. My 4th octet used to be 122, and 123. I could not get it to list in the server list and the servers were empty for weeks.. Then, I bought a new subnet whose first IP address is 1. Now I run 3 servers off of that IP address and they are packed 24x7. I know it sucks, but the list needs to have some sort order, and I suppose that the 4th octet of the IP address is what STEAM uses. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Killer Creation Services" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 9:40 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] received email > AHHAHHAHAH, owned n1 Alfred > > Alfred, it apears that servers with low ip's eg X.X.X.1 or X.X.X.5 seem to > fill faster or more popular than X.X.X.65 or X.X.X.85 > > is there a reason for this or .... > > MerK > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alfred Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Server Nitro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 7:53 AM > Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] received email > > > > Your email address has been unsubscribed. > > > > - Alfred > > > > ----Original Message---- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Server > > Nitro Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2004 11:40 PM To: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds_linux] received email > > > >> Your Email Has been Received. > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list > >> archives, please visit: > >> http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > > > > _______________________________________________ > > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > > please visit: > > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
