According to Gamer's Search (http://search.hlsw.org/sei/project/index.php?mode=stats&language=en), there are plenty of player slots - less than 25% used, and we are near the peak of the day. I think the problem with most online games is that there are too many servers to choose from, which dilutes the players. We need fewer not more servers. -Mad -- http://www.madslab.com "A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven."
