Where is everyone?

[bfisher 561]

I never seem to find full or nearly full servers anymore.  So where is everyone?

 

 

They all seem like they have around a dozen players.  I'm in the Northeastern USA FWIW.

Lots of server connecting issues as well as lots of admin abuse (worst i've seen in the SA to date) is pushing people away till things get more stable.  Rocket posted about the possibility of a fix for the connection issues tomorrow.  The admin abuse solution requires some serious streamlining in regards to the reporting process, which is far more unlikely.

Don't worry about it

Took me 5-6 tries before I could connect last night...On regular and hardcore both, Im probably about 1km outside Electro. Checked out a new town(I think) in the NW last night, but despite being untouched, there was little for the taking.

That town does not have loot spawn yet, and no zombie spawn at the moment.

 

It's just been put down there. Some buildings have the front porch too high to get in, another building has a tree in it, some are half sunk in the ground, full of grass.

 

I guess all the wilderness will eventually be urbanized.. that's obiously why there are so many roads around, so many open areas, so few trees (compared to the mod) and so much open space with concrete slabs in it. Would make a very nice tank warfare region, but no good for survival

 

And the lakes up in the NW are still dry, I notice.

 

As for the servers : To me, using a script to Whitelist and Auto-Kick, is the same as using a script to Teleport or ESP. A lot of other Admins don't think so and you will find them saying so openly on these forums. I could quote the "I play by myself" comments, but the Moderators don't pick up on it.. so I guess it's considered an acceptable point of view?

 

I don't care - I like the zombies, they getting better.

Ah, that explains it then. I did come across a pitchfork just sitting on the ground in the road outside the town, but perhaps someone ditched it there once they realized it was practically only for show at this point.

Here's the best MOTD yet:

 

 

I've reported this server a half dozen times over the past couple of weeks, and it's still up. I've given up on reporting.

North, way up north

If I'm not there, then check underneath the water...

I'm guessing they lost their sessions. So for those few lucky ones actually able to play, you should probably take advantage of the nice looting situation while it lasts.

[Longs 42]

I can't get on for any length of time and connection issues when we are on make it unplayable. Me and some friends tried for about an hour yesterday afternoon before we gave up and decided to play something else :(

Yeah by the looks of the map the entire north of the map is going to be towns or buildings everywhere.

There are so many of those lately, I HOPE the devs are paying some attention to this problem and are working on a better way to report cheating & admin abuse and hopefully to start taking action more aggressively over admin abuse. however current evidence would seem to imply that they don't consider it a major issue, considering I've yet to see a server get taken down due to abuse.

 

Still, What choice do we have but keep reporting them and hope someone takes notice?

Not there anymore. I was scared of getting closer. Is that the a**hole of the world?! :huh:

It is either that or a giant toilet bowl. Either way good call you definitely would have got some sort of infection if you touched it.

Too many connection issues to justify playing.
