Title: Lack of Servers?
Post by: zakkfan25 on July 11, 2007, 10:47:16 PM
Hi all,

  I only get about 38-40 servers at most.  Is this normal?  Do you use a external server browser or in-game browser?

I think that's more than enough O_O
That's the average I get as well :P

Well it would be more than enough if at least half of them had decent pings for me.  I'm coming from games with 700+ servers so I didn't know if it was just the browser or if most people used something like The All Seeing Eye.  I have about 2 servers that I can get 70 ping in and they have some kind of invalid folder error.

The lack of servers is a result of a variety of reasons:

Reasons:
1) New version 0.7, some of the servers are still running 0.6
2) The community isn't as large as say, SoF2, as OA hasnt even reached the 1.0 mark and is still maturing.

How to Solve them:
1) Ask server admins to update to 0.7
2) Encourage more people to play OA, & help in the development of the game.
