The question you should be asking is why their 30 Halloween servers are
full while your two are empty. Do they have more people joining to help
fill them? Who knows.

The Valve servers may affect the traffic, but not as much as it's been
affected. It's the over saturation of servers in general, especially
from
the clans that put up 25+ event servers hoping for traffic.
Skial is running 16, Saigns is running 30, etc.
Yes the 76 Valve put up will affect the traffic, but there seems to be
more
to this honestly. The past 2 days have been 24/7 traffic, suddenly it
plummets for a ton of people. Part of it may be more servers have been
put
up, but the fact everyone started having issues after the update seems
to
point to something else.

This is pretty disappointing.

If the existence of the valve servers is the sole cause of the massive
decrease in traffic to communities... It poses a rather large issue
for
those communities.
It means that the sheer number of valve's quickplay-eligible servers
is
outshadowing _many_ communities (as judging by the messages in this
thread),
and the server market is being over-saturated to the point where
communities basically have a hard time getting a foothold unless there
is
an established playerbase
that is large enough to sustain the server with very little traffic
influx.
Ultimately, it means communities likely won't bother with event
servers
as
a result of no traffic anyway... and this will rebound very rapidly in
the
opposite direction.
I thought the entire goal of quickplay was to help get traffic _to_
communities and help players discover them (for those that keep their
servers within a set of parameters)... not "keep all the traffic for
Valve
servers".
I realize this sounds pretty scathing , but it is something I think we
(as
community server operators) need to be seriously aware of - for the
day
that no more communities exist to keep the hat market up, will be the
day
TF2 truly dies :D

Never run any bots, all of my servers were full yesterday and are
completely dead last night until now.
Only change was the update.
One of the servers wasn't registered until this event (converted it
from a
custom server temporarily just to get a 24/7 helltower server for the
week), so it was a brand new ID.

Can you double check to verify this update didn't create an
additional
issue, as it sure does look like something is wrong.
~6000 players in 24h to 0 in 12h, doesn't really make any sense.

We recently fixed a bug that has been giving servers running bots an
unfair and unintended quickplay scoring advantage. This could change
traffic patterns.

Same here, i checked the quickplay status and it went from "Good"
to
"Bad"
out of a sudden, funny thing is that the client command to list
the identities and the status says that they're all good but
upon server launch it says that its "Bad"

There has been a significant drop in quickplay traffic on our
servers
as
well.

I noticed Halloween servers running plr_hightower_event are
no
longer
receiving quickplay traffic after the last update.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Normal servers seem
unaffected.
