Title: NA_1 "full" (pw) when only 104 out of 120 on server....
Post by: CrazyCracka420 on February 22, 2012, 04:34:31 am: Seriously can you change the setting to leave it pw protected until 25 people leave (after it's hit 120 people)? waiting for 5 or 10 people to leave before unlocking the server again would be reasonable, 25 is a lot.

Watch the progression as I "patiently" wait :P

Don't worry, it's only those silly NA losers who have no population.

Yes that's what my bro said. After the server hits 120 people and gets locked you have to wait until 25 people leave before it will let people join. That's ridiculous. I can see waiting for 5 or 10 people to leave (so people aren't constantly trying to join the server). It's a 120 man server, you shouldn't have to wait until there's 95/120 before it lets people join again...

In all honesty though, if 20 people are trying to connect at once, does it really take up that much network resources on the server that it's unable to handle the requests from people in game? Wouldn't the server receive the request and send back a deny, how many packets can that really be? This is 2012...

Post by: Grumbs on February 22, 2012, 06:57:24 pm: It is a bit annoying to find the server passworded so often, then when you do join you find theres 10+ spectators

I would try removing the password at 110, 105 or so and see if it causes any issues

Post by: oohillac on February 23, 2012, 03:32:14 pm: what's really frustrating about this situations is, because it is NA, there are likely no admins on to boot the 10+ spectators

Post by: Lizard_man on February 23, 2012, 03:36:58 pm: It's the same with EU_1. It usually has to drop down to around 90 people or so until the password is removed...

Post by: CrazyCracka420 on February 23, 2012, 07:24:16 pm: I think it's 95 players before it unlocks again for all "official" servers. Would suck if that was the case for Strat servers :P

Sooooo can this be reviewed? Or is this general discussion basically just the spam thread
