A1 Population

More players, the higher the rank?

The more wins a sports team has, the higher they are in the standings.
 
I copied this from the Gametracker forum and I think it explains it pretty well

How does server ranking work?
GameTracker ranks servers based on the past 30 days of activity. In simple terms, it is the average players but the average players value is not what GameTracker will look at. It will look at the trend of players throughout the month and recent activity plays an important role that can push you up or down. Naturally, larger servers will rank higher than smaller servers. Things like the total number of players in the stats, total scores, and length the server has been on GameTracker (more than 30 days) do not affect ranking.

In short, the more players in the server, the better the ranking. Rank 1 = Best, 5000 = shit. XD
 
What I have learned from my years is it pays to seed your server. More will come and the ranking goes up. Then you concentrate on policing the new peep's, if you treat them fair and with respect they will come back and become regulars. I have noticed the good people in this clan and how they treat new-comers. That's the key ingredient for any clan.
 
So summer time is coming up soon and for americans that means no school. And a lot of people play games through the summer a lot more because of extra time that they don't normally have. So I thought that I would just remind y'all of this in hopes of continuing a1s upward trend. Maybe even get it a little higher in the ranks and possibly get more regulars at the same time. Just a reminder :)
 
As long as we don't EVER hit the Top 10.

I will NEVER play in a FFA server with 60+ people on 24 hours a day.

Nope.

Not happening.
 
lol.. I've played on a TDM broadcast server with 50 people.. Its pretty fun dude
 
Our old s1 would routinely hit 50+ people during the day. It was pretty fun if you could deal with the spawncamping, which back then, was not a rule. I did it all the time XD

Today, it would be impossible with 50+ and a spawncamping rule.
 
No, but i can't imagine it wasn't in the very top of the rankings. It was full literally all day, every day. At least that's what i remember. Same with our old Mixed gametype S2. Always full up with 20 people solid. 20 was the limit. This was back on patch 1.6.

yeah s1 used to be hella filled, sometimes even to filled to be enjoyable xD.

100th place is porn, that should b our new benchmark.

also lets set a benchmark for s10 at 60th, that was our record i think, we dropped to 66th within the last 1 or 2 weeks:/

good job everyone and lets keep it up!

S1 is now 93rd on GameTracker!!!

Good job by everyone who helped populating it.

Altough I think it's time to move on. I suggest we start trying to populate either S2 or S3.

Let's just keep it to one server though. It's too much to get both going.

Remember just before the IP switch, we had S1 and LA Broadcast bumping 24/7. Given the possibility idling on more than on server at once, it's do-able. A1 has had 20 people, but half have been idlers, even more at times. Maybe we could move a few to another server?
 
S3 FTW!!

2 days ago I played a few games on S1. It had sbout 25 players and 1 of them was an idler.

Personally I think S1 is too populated. I find it hard to have fun with 25 people on the server. When 6 are spawncamping and there are no mods on.
 
PM me in steam and I'll :buttkick: them.

And I think it's always fun to pwn all those noobs with my ak74u ;)
 
74u rapes pretty good on S1. Make sure you never wallbang cuz you'll get called a wallhacker by everyone on the server :K

Wouldn't really be that bad if a few people ragequit when there's 25 people playing.
