I'm shocked, really.
Our highest player-count were 386 unique players on Aug, 11 2015.
Today we've set a new record! 391 unique players:
Thank you Community!
ehmm if anyone admin or someting read this, then the gamemode has broke on 33x
Better be temporary, I want to see the U.S. server go back before summer.
I am happy that the numbers are looking great. That is awesome.
I am however concerned that the US server will now be dead, no matter if it is up and running or not. Feels like the EU players have been against it from the start and have boycotted it. It is a shame as we were getting some good US players on board, which died completely as nobody would ever log in and those players lost interest. As a US player it is really sad as most times I can play, nobody is on to play. The EU crew has all gone to bed.
Hopefully, hopefully it'll be a moot point and I'm wrong. I really want to be wrong, I want to see the US server flourish.
It just shows, Adding Rockford to EU Was a very good move, i say Rockford should just take over V33x
Rockford for US, EU has their server. If they'd stop whining about how they have to deal with the Ping the US players always have to deal with, that'd be great.

Why do you say that like we can't have rockford for both EU and US? Also your problems don't alleviate other people's problems.
having under 450 ping would be really gr8

Do you really think having Rockford on both would fix the population issue? Right now we should be focusing on bringing new players in. The US market is very wide, but they will not come if all they experience is an empty server.
I've had three very good candidates when Rockford first opened. They were excited to be on board, happy to play. But then the newness of the server waned and the EU crowd moved back over to v33x complaining that they don't have a EU Rockford. Each one of the players I was working with ended up on an empty server and stopped playing because they were bored.
Adding a third server would not solve this issue, it would just make it so much worse. Heck, I haven't played much this week because I've been bored myself. I've spent hours only sitting around with no other players.
Honestly I think we need to move the US server from LA to somewhere mid-US if possible.
Also, there's no reason we can't have a US Rockford and an EU Rockford.

Even far east coast would be solid. I'm damned ok with getting a 120 or less ping to the server, and if its east enough eu players could get lower pings as well. Its a true and utter fucking shame that the EU community has basically quarantined the US server, because its why I joined this community. I don't know about others but my play time has drastically decreased since we can't hold a stable US pop server. If its a choice of playing with a 200+ ping, and less than 30 fps on a full EU server or sit with a nice 80 ping, and 60 fps on an empty server, I'll choose neither. Got better things to do than not enjoy myself.

but I live on the west coast?
The other problem for low EU population of the US server is that, we can only access the server if we know the IP. It does not show by default in the server browser.
By having 2 EU servers it means that the community can attract more EU players at the same time that could be joining for the first time, and they see rockford being used rather than v33x which they may be bored of.

The ping is not the fancy thing here
