Hey,
Since I'm new to the whole tf2 server hosting (hosted only 1.6 servers),
is it normal servers to stay empty?
I'm currently hosting 4 TF2 server, all of 'em 24 slots, 2 with standard
valve maps and one with dustbowl 24/7 and the other with
goldrush/badwater 24/7.
I started hosting them a
I have one server registered with the matchmaking service, and it has
been pretty full. Until yesterday, that is. Ever since yesterday,
instead of being full all day, it sat empty. This persists through
server restarts.
The matchmaking system is working right now?

I'm having the same issue on my server - the last 2 days it went
completely empty, it looked like the matchmaking system had stopped
working.

For the record, my server is still in good standing, according to the
authentication system.
All I know is that one night, the server was full, the next morning it
was empty and has remained empty through 3 restarts since then.
sv_region is 0 (US East Coast), in case that matters.

Come to think of it, last night my server emptied out and restarting
wouldn't help either.
At some point today it managed to fill back up, I don't know if that's the
same for anyone else.

If you want to know if matchmaking is working or not, looking at your own
server will tell you very little. You have to play the game. Our current
goals for quickplay are pretty limited: to match players (especially new
players, who we expect to be the ones using this feature) to the best serv

Highly discussed topic, nice to hear that Valve had noticed it. So in
the future IP changes are not longer the death sentence for servers...

Fletcher,
Your post reinforces the single complaint I have with regards to this
matchmaking system. What is the point of us server admins configuring our
servers to rank optimally in the matchmaking system, and adding them to the
system, for them to be beaten out by Valve servers? Ever since Valve
Well, I think that is merely an effect of there being too few players and
too many servers. Of course Valve is going to put their own servers on
preference, because they're the ones controlling them. Server admins SHOULD
be ditching their servers if they're going to sit empty. It takes time and

so that players can only play on your quick play servers for a maximum
of x hours. After that, have them match up with community made servers.

Just something for thought here... Invert the question.
What's the motivation for independent server admins to configure their
systems to rank optimally in the matchmaking system, so that they beat
out the Valve servers?

Independent server admins can create and maintain a great server atmosphere.
Valve servers don't track stats and aren't administrated.

I've been watching this "free players" thing for couple of weeks now on
actual servers. If Valve aims to keep these new players within their
servers first, that's completely, 100%, absolutely just fine with me.

I think the QuickPlay system is quite new and I find it a little harsh

if it's not optimal at this point. However, I totally agree with others

instead of ours. I
I would like to see quickplay support tags. "Join servers with these tags:

Do you really know the difference between default gameplay and modded

No one forces you to use quickplay on you servers. There are lots of
servers that
are full 24/7 and they don't use it. But if you want to have some extra
players
just obey the rules. Or don't use the quickplay.
I have several servers that are usually always full that are not a part
of quick play. As a player I would like to see that as an option, as a
server administrator I really could care less.
