Unfortunately, that would be highly doubtful. The DLC has proven a few times now, that it quickly turns the server into a ghost town. It's not the the quality of the DLC that matters, it's the random connects that keep the server populated. The DLC kills the random connects, and the server becomes almost impossible to prime, and never really fills. We can thank EA for their giant leap backwards from the way BF2 handled those without a particular map.

Honestly if it's good I would play this over conquest. I don't know if many of you would but that's how I feel about it. I know how the DLCs affect the servers though. It is just a matter of how successful it is I suppose. Like I said before I have my hopes up but am completely prepared to be disappointed.

If I'm going to play I always sit in the 32-man server first for a bit before leaving for the 64-man. I actually find if we can get the 32-man populated then usually we can get both going. We need to start reaching out to the groups of clans that join the servers to see if they want to join the TPG community. There is no reason we can't get a 32-man DLC server rolling, I see the Seniors guys (EVE corp) do it every day they play.

I play on China Rising servers all the time that are almost always full. Or at least more populated than TPG.

So the question I have is why are these other servers full, and ours not? Oh, I guess the easy answer is that WE are playing on these other servers, and not our own, or maybe you guys are right, and it is just the settings we choose.

settings... people wanting to play the expansions... people not wanting to prime... a number of things.

I see all the regs migrate to the server once we start to prime usually. I don't think it's settings. Maybe though I don't know. At this point because we have tried a lot of things in the past it really is like wtf to me now.

Maybe the question shouldn't be what does the average TPG player want to play but what does the average TPG primer want to play. They are how we get the servers going and without them no one is going to play.

I think this is a brilliant suggestion.

Not entirely sure how our servers are managed.

When we do setup DLC content, do we include all the vanilla maps in the rotation as well? If so, I'm guessing other server are full, because all they have in the rotation is the maps for that particular DLC. This would eliminate any disconnects due to map rotation.
