I have not looking into this closely, so it's mostly a guess. But I think that player-to-server ratios have just been changing.
Some significant differences between this week and last week are: * Decrease in overall player counts after Halloween event ends and the launch of other popular shooters. * Addition of official PvP dedicated servers. We shifted almost all of our dedicated servers to Halloween maps and modes during Halloween. We ran very few PvP servers. (For a while, due to a configuration error, there were absolutely zero.) Now we have switched some back to PvP. We are actually running fewer PvP servers now than we were before Halloween. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lambda Sent: Monday, November 19, 2012 11:01 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 empty servers I can report the same issue, huge Quickplay traffic drop too, player counts are lower than what they were before Halloween 2012/11/19 Steven Sumichrast <[email protected]> > Same here, huge decrease in quickplay traffic.
