I'm having the same ordeal with my servers. And I know that it's totally unrelated to the amount of time people have been playing in it because over 10 people (almost constantly) had been connected for more than one hour on the day of the most recent update. Everyone who connected to the three of my servers stayed in for an avg. of 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Yet the next day, not a single soul from quickplay to be found, only the regular players. This all started happening after the Halloween update. This is very bizarre because we're normally full and people stay on for an extended amount of time (I'd say about 45 min - 1 1/2 hours) give or take 65-70% of the time. Maybe this should be looked into? I don't know. But I will say that people play on the servers quite a bit and now quickplay is discriminating my servers. I've seen other servers that cannot hold a single person in for more than 45 minutes yet quickplay keeps them full all day and night. I don't like saying there is something wrong.... but I think there is something wrong.
