Guy's, If you want to rant, use the other ongoing thread. I just want to know the works of the system, I don't care how many servers VALVe has up.

Also Valve is taking around 9,174 players at the moment from other servers. > Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 18:39:37 +0200 > From: anakin...@gmail.com > To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Dropping off quickplay & crashes > > game-monitor isn't reliable nowadays.
