Coordinate times to rescue this game?

And not reward EA for sinking BF2 by purchasing BF4?

Saturday 9:30PM-12:30PM North American Pacific Daylight Time (Vancouver etc; 2:30-5:30 Eastern Oz) seems to be the best populated, so perhaps people who want to keep playing should try to show up then (or suggest some other time).

Also: if people stop playing but disconnect, they sometimes seem to persist on the server as players and probably screw up the team balance (which is often so messed up it's hard to tell, but it sort of looks that way), so if perhaps a TFC member could kick anybody who hasn't spawned all for a complete round of reasonable length?)

I wonder if there isn't a subtle server malfunction ATM ... not only are large numbers of non-players being held over from yesterday producing misleading results on the Portal (aren't people normally autokicked as idlers if they do nothing for a long time?), but also, sometimes rearming stolen China plans on the carrier wasn't working.

Some players like to leave their player in game so the server doesn't look empty.
We don't autokick idlers.

This is a glitch that we have no control over other than restarting the server.

It's terrible not playing anymore.

I have played in the server about everyday, just tough getting others to join

For my timezone there is never anyone here.

Even Saturday from 9/10:30PM or so on? That's when I have been noticing more players on the server. I also noticed some people on North American Friday evening (which is actually a bit more reliable for me, since on Aus Sunday afternoon I sometimes has various kinds of outdoor real world activities.

10pm for me is usually 2-4am for the rest of the world.
Trust me, I look every day.... like now. No one here.
I guess I am just screwed.

I think it's always dead on the weekdays now; I used to find people on TFC on Aus Friday afternoon-evening = North American West Coast Thursday evening, but not anymore.

What do you see in Fairbanks at 6-9PM on Friday and Sat evening? (hope I'm not completely confused about the time-zones!)

Forex right now, at 9:50-something Friday Evening Vancouver time, oughtta  be 8:50 Fairbanks [??], there are 5 people and there are about to be 6, if nobody bails while I'm logging on, and my ping doesn't suck horribly, which sometimes happens.

Isn't 10PM for you (in Fairbanks) = 11PM BC, Cal etc? There were definitely playable numbers of people (6 or more according to me, with 5 OK for short periods of time) on Fri/Sat night.

Or am I deeply confused about something? [would not be for the first time, and surely not the last either]. Or maybe you're not actually in Fairbanks ATM?
