The question, Saul, is how? You need to be able to lighten and even the load. You have been touting quick play as your goal for some time, but then now you claim the servers aren't quick play. The fact is that I am not sure what your goal is any more.

All I am saying is that I want a server to play on where 10 - 15 of the players on it aren't worth pointing my Med-Vac at, and while I will admit I am not the greatest player either, you don't learn from playing with people who are only on the server because they don't have to pay anything and can be random for a few hours to pass the time.

If this is supposed to be a business, than it needs to be about numbers. If this is supposed to be about promotion, than it needs to be tiered. If the servers are just there in the hopes to pay for themselves, than say it and tell me how much you want for the server. Otherwise, tell me what the goal here is so the sizable number of us that want an answer to the F2P can get an answer.

Valve kept making changes to quickplay. Now it's pretty much settled and servers with more than 24 players aren't used by quickplay. That's because Valve alone has 1500 servers with 36000 player slots which need to be all full before quickplay starts sending players to 32 slot servers.

Show me there is interest and a private server can be put up. Infact we already have one. You can get the password from any Lotus recruit or member. But if there's enough interest it could be posted on our public forums as well.

But there is no way that we will have a server which pretends to be public and then kicks free players, that would cause it to get delisted.

Best of all is that Valve auto delists servers by IP, so any other servers running on that IP will be gone too. Even if they are CSS, TF2 or DODS.
