My thoughts are similar. I enjoy playing on us hc, its a competitive environment filled with fun ppl, when it's not dead. but its not an effective use of a server. this new server could potentially fill a niche, bringing in new members and entertaining more players overall. and that is all i want really.. more fun for more people.. not duplicate servers that are dead empty on a regular basis.

So half and half, but it would get used WAY more in the evenings US time. Yeah, I am that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fer sure give it a try. The pic posted of one evening on the HC server is horse hockey. Show it for the week or month. Compare all the servers. We are in the same clan. We should work together to make them all work. I'll jump around between the servers to get them all up. If we work cooperatively. We could get them all working. No body wants to join an empty server.

The problem of filling the two servers that are our bread winners. The US 64 man and the EU HC. Any additional server will just take people from those, leaving us with having to change everything to get them populated again. That is my only concern. mouselad and The Flush 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats understandable odd but is usually more of a problem when you have two servers that are extremely similar to the other. Classic has its own fan base and while the first month may take away from the soft core and HC server, I believe they are established enough to remain healthy. Also I was taking a look at =U= Rock which as we know has a ton of servers. I was surprised to see that the only servers they have active or starting up at 9 am were the locker server and the two classic servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have logged in at 7-8am CST before, and the only servers around are Locker. We could maybe move the USHC to Locker Only during the hours the EU guys are sleeping. Since it would probably end early enough to not affect the US Vanilla. What time frames is the US HC server vacant at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is usually more full in the early morning than when it gets active again at night. some days nothing at all happens except a minor blip, but overall those seem to be the 2 timeframes when people are actually on.

In fact, the no health regen and no doritos is what made me start playing BF3 HC and then BF4 HC on the XIEU box. I doubt very much we'll be able to fill a Classic mode server. Not because it's not a great mode. The new patch and Classic mode additions make it the game it should have been on release. But... it's not release date now. It's about two years later.

Maybe if we do get a server we could coincide it with the release of final stand, and have a final stand classic server. phudruker and The Flush 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its best to start as early as possible and try and get the server on the map as soon as possible so that it can take full advantage of the fair weather players of final stand. We want it to be one of the first servers full during final stand, not an overflow server because the other servers are already full. phudruker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
