That's exactly the behaviour i ment, newer servers somehow seem to get
priority over older, despite how many millions of reputation the older
ones have. I also know reputation doesn't count into quickplay that much
but it should take more account since older communities are taking a hit
due to quickplay, custom maps and mods they run.
The custom maps server i run has dropped 90% in playercounts since
quickplay and free to play was introduced. It's not that easy in areas
where there aren't much players who want to try out some new maps and
the old players are changing games and are gone. Some stay but most
won't since they are tired of cosmetic changes and would like to see
some more playable content instead. Just like me.

Our payload server doesn't fill up anymore, even though its around for a
long time. While a freshly installed dustbowl server seems to fill up just
fine every day. But if i get a couple of people on the payload server it
fills up..

Maybe it's just a bunch of people who have the other server in favorites
or random luck or the server that fills up later is actually newer. Lets
think about this a bit. Valve servers aren't that old. They get fill up
fast. I have one server opened at the time TF2 went free to play and it
always, every single day is the first one to fill up and last one to empty
on despite one other being quickplay eglible and one other eglible also
when there isn't a custom map on (couple on cycle at it). Note that i also
have 2 servers since pretty much of the day that TF2 was released running.
So i'm seeing pattern in which the most newest servers get the most
traffic. Or it's just random luck and people have servers in favorites or
the server is in some area that has way more players than the other.

We usually need to fill our servers, and it's a pain. On our Goldrush
server we had over 13 players for about two hours, nobody joined via
Quickplay, only a few randoms via the server browser. Our Dustbowl however
fills up very fast, but it empties at 9 o clock at night, every single day.
I still see servers that's full, but quickplay just isn't working then..

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Suddenly very low server population
I don't seem to have that problem - quick play sends players to my
server pretty much 24/7 and it's a 30 slot server. 3-5am it's even
getting players with 300+ms ping.
