Right now, we're not trying to provide a finely tuned quality difference
between servers to players looking for a server. Instead, we're focused on
finding and removing the very worst servers. This is why we're not showing

We went around an spot checked some of the servers that we were about to

Is there anyone here on the list that got delisted that doesn't feel like they
should have?

It's a pretty close answer to a number of the ones that people have brought up
here.
The game was built to play against other people, not fight the horde and fight
other real people. Its also nearly impossible for players to know what kind of
experience they are going to be getting into.
of hardware do you guys use to host your L4D servers Erik?

First off, thanks to everyone for running servers for the demo. We knew going
into the release that we were going to need to figure out some ways to make it
worth it for server administrators, and now we have a ton of feedback to work
with.
Right now we're looking at ways that server
leader can select a server based on its
sv_search_key setting.
That alone would give me a lot more incentive to keep my dedicated servers
up after the game is released. Its nice to be able to use our own servers.
