-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] If you had enough regulars, your servers would stay full.
For instance, on Friday Night, I like to run party mode on my servers, which places them on the custom tab. I can still keep them full from the time it starts up until about dying gaming hours (around 4-5 AM CST) The custom tab is a deterrent to generic pubbers, but your regulars will still see you on their favorites tab. I will agree though, pubbers generally won't even touch the custom tab. Maybe if people started actually using the custom tab, though, people would generally shift over to it based on their desire for gameplay. With all the server operators exploiting the internet listing as it is right now, no one will ever use the custom listing because the servers like that are still in the internet list. If no server operators use the custom list, then neither will the players, thus why you see such a lack of use on it. To be honest, I think if more server operators used it and educated the players they play with on the use of it, I think there would be a lot more people using the custom tab. Now, granted, it will never compare to the usage of the internet tab, but all this "cheating" to get on the internet list isn't going to help the custom list at all. No one is going to use it if there aren't any good servers there. Just a thought. -Cc2iscooL On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 12:41 PM, Timothy L Havener < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > I had 3 servers full pretty much 24/7 and since the implementation of the > customs tab I have had trouble even getting them populated during peak > gaming hours.
