theres not many people playing ?

TheLostCity · 03-18-2010, 05:43 PM

Why when i play does it seem that theres not many people playing on any of the servers. I counted early and only 31 people playing. Is this game worldwide or what? I thought that there would have been hundreds of people playing. maybe its the steam version is it all linked up?

Full server are hidden and there are at least 250 servers for SGR (as far as I am aware).

Those are the free servers. I've had two games tonight which were great fun. I can only play competitively in short bursts. Find the server with a team on it and jump in. Simplze.

Indeed, grab them before they pull a Huodini.

Still saying that even after a dev said otherwise lol.

31 ppl is a lot. Count ur blessings.

FireWraith · 03-18-2010, 10:18 PM

i wish we could see empty servers, and see what people are playing in them. That way we can find people we like to play with, and wait for an opening. Also, i can avoid playing w/ and getting destroyed by Black

Yup, it was confirmed that there are NOT 250 servers, so I don't know why people are still trying to say that. There are very few people playing. Admit it. It doesn't change the fact that this game is fun, there just aren't many people.

Poetix · 03-19-2010, 10:15 AM

I think if there where more than 16 slots on the gaming servers the maps would become much more fun to play, cause the maps are quiet big.

Floyd · 03-19-2010, 10:43 AM

Then instead of three servers being populated, only one would be.

I would like point out that I never said there was 250 servers, I was I think so please don't misquote me people.

indeed, with the size of the maps, each team should be at least 16 players.

You left out "as far as I know" which is not saying there is 250 but it says I think.

WhiteTiger · 03-19-2010, 11:00 AM

250 ppl or not, i mainly see the same people.

zainea13 · 03-19-2010, 11:01 AM

it may be true that they have the capacity for 250 servers, but thats not how many there currently are available

Cant find the dev quote (maybe they deleted it

)

Basically said they have enough capacity and then some for the current player base, but there is certainly not 250 servers.

Edit: Mai'tac! My KD went up overnight while I slept..

Sheril nocin!

B.l.a.c.k. · 03-19-2010, 08:08 PM

tbh why just firesky shut down some of that wasteing money svrs with constently 0 players on it and build up some on EU side?

Thats what im dreaming of...or maybe just reduze that lag ****...

FireWraith · 03-19-2010, 08:12 PM

i'd like to know how many people play on an average day? Just to know what the scope of this game is. Would also like to know if that number is getting larger, smaller or staying the same.

B.l.a.c.k. · 03-19-2010, 08:16 PM

The highest playercount i saw someadays was smth about 35. I never saw more ppl playing SG:R so far.

bctrainers · 03-20-2010, 07:11 AM

Enough trolling about how many servers there are total. I originally said that number after doing some quick math for the server ID naming conventions.

What I do know is that more servers come online if there is a higher user load demanding it.

Unreal engine can support up to 32 players AFAIK for a FPS/TPS without too much issue (referring to UT3).

Aside from the sophistication of the server setup you also have now two leading MP shooter competitors: MW2 and BC2.

I dont consider SGR to be a competitor for the shooter market. It will always be for a niche crowd of fans who also play games. The majority of players who play FPS dont give a **** about story/canon or whatever. Whichever game offers the most destruction and kill satisfaction will be their favourite. I believe that to be BC2 atm. TF2 is still going strong as well.

if there are 250 servers then how come i can log on and do a handful of matches b4 work. then 10 hours later log on and do a few matches and play against a same and full of people. there are not 250 servers wit most of them full. I usually play against the same 50 people off n on. if there were as many full servers as u say i shouldnt run into the same people day after day.

When SGU gets back on the air they need to plug SGR and then tons more will get online
