Server has gone really quiet over the past 2 weeks.
I am not seeing much activity, are you?

Let's see how this weekend goes; next week I'll probably consider increasing it. Somebody please add a reply to the thread on battlelog.co, today: http://battlelog.co/post.php?id=30997

lets change it to 64 size map with 32 or 48 players.

Yeah, it's time for an increase. Next on the line is an increase of map size as well, but I still need feedback over battlelog.co's thread. I've gotten a couple of opinions from Players and one told me it's balanced like this, 32 size. There are some helicopters on some of the maps.

Let's leave it like this for the moment, see if the additional 8 slots get used or not.

Can you increase the number of players? Lately, it is often full. Then you do not come in teh game

The SF Server has been active all day, performing really well overall. For much of the day it was around half full and currently nearly full, good job.

Well, let's put it like this: ours is the only 32 size Ranked SF Server at this point in time. Right now, there are two other EU Ranked Servers, 64 size. They're empty, ours is 20/24 right now and has been going up and down all day.

In my opinion we can build this Server both by having a group of dedicated SF Players kickstarting the matches, as well as having the map size / player cap follow the popularity of the Server: when there's demand for it, it means we're popular ⇨ increase the map size.

With smaller sizes that's true, you don't have the full playground to play with, but starting a Server is much easier and keeping it full, desirable, is easier I think. Eventually I have also asked for feedback on battlelog.co, regarding this size debate; I hope some battlelog.co Forumers will engage the discussion.

We will see, I am open to changes, I just want to discuss them properly, think them through.

I agree with rico and 5tarLine. Most of the sf maps are not that big even in 64 map size. All the battlelog players are used to play with that size

I haven't played in the Special Forces Server recently (I also reiterate our blind promotion here by placing a reply during weekends, plis ^_^ not everybody at the same time, leave some space between your replies), but if within the 32 size you'll find an Helicopter within the maps, for me the size is fine like that.

Rico946 mentioned to me that he believes we should stick to a 64-Player SF Server because most who play SF want to play with all the vehicles., and i tend to agree. Thoughts?
