Yeah there appears to have been some change for clients that won't see servers now unless they are updated - I've got 3 servers showing up with another that isn't cause it won't update for some odd reason and quickplay isn't an option on a few of these since I don't have a few registered however one that is filled up in about 2 mins after updating.

But, I have noticed that it seems like immediately following a server reboot the quickplay system is more likely to feed you a bunch of players. For example, my server was empty for about 10 hours last night during off peak hours throughout which the status showed as logged in. Since it was still empty this afternoon I rebooted the server and grabbed the optional update, after which the server filled up nearly instantly.
