Okay, so here's the problem: 2 is full, 1 has 5-10 ppl playing in it. Even badlands couldn't fill up 1. Why? I really don't know. It's not because people want random crits. I think it's just that when they play an hour or more in server with 5-10 ppl, they get pissed off and go to 2, despite hating random crits (and most of the time - alltalk which clearly removes the 'team' aspect in TF2 because they can hear what you're doing so... no point in coordinating your moves). Now, my suggestion is to remove random crits from server 2 so situations like this doesn't happen. Unfortunately, I know that this has a very slim chance to happen. I just wanted to rant a little.
I've stayed in 1 yesterday and today long enough to lose all hope that it will fill. So I left. But I'd really be happy to join again... if just people wanted to play a more team-based minimum-lucky game.

We have only just changed server IP's so im willing to bet a large chunk of the regulars havent updated their servers yet, before we moved all 3 servers we're almost full non stop once they got going, just give it a little time for people to find us again.

As for the crits and all talk on server 2, my thoughts on crits are not favourable to say the least, but once again it's done by vote and people want them on, all talk is fine aswell, sv 2 is the less serious server so it's best to join it and have a laugh and a chat with everyone else on there.

also looking at 1 and 2 now they are both full, and have been for a while, the day is over so people wind up the day playing tf2, the weather was lovely today so i'm willing to bet people were out in it rather than playing tf2, i know i was

weather sucked here.

but word @ freddie

HH2 should be the way it is. its cool to go there if you dont want to play that serious like on HH1 sometimes :X

Hope you're right, Freddie, and 1 is empty because of ppl not updating their favourites.
Despite being 'more serious', 1 can still provide a Chuck-Norris amount of fun. Even when steamrolled. This, however, rarely happens with 2 as most of the people who play there are not so regular on HH.
Anyway, thanks for your replies

PS: I understood that 2 is f2p, while 1 is not - that must play a role, too.

i didnt know that o_O

Nobody does. It's a complete fabrication.

It's common knowledge that HH2 is for midgets, aliens and expectant mothers.

So there's no truth in that (not the midget thing, 'bout f2p)?

I play on HH2 because it has replays enabled and I enjoy taking and editing them.

If HH1 had replays enabled I wouldn't stray an inch.

None at all and never.

Okay
Replay in HH1 sounds nice, yeah. Is it possible if that would get more people there?
