I have never seen one person on that server ever, whenever I look. HH2 gets players, HH3 on a rare occasion, but HH1 never. Why? It would make me really happy since there are no crits and custom maps.

It's dead because no one joins the server because it is empty and it is empty because no one joins the server because it is dead. It also has no quickplay. So if you want to get things going you need at least ~17 more players to fill it up to 24. If it had 24/24 players all the time, everyone would try to join it and wait in queue for a long time. In order to get server going you need to either be on the server for like 2 hours to get someone to even join it or have the people get used to some certain hour of the day when they will come and play together.

Well maybe we could organise an event or something, "Fill up HH1 campaign" I am sure about 7-8 people joining at the same time would be enough to motivate more people to join and fill the server up eventually. Do this everyday for some time and the server is revived

I only got time after 9pm or wednesday before 4pm

In the last couple of weeks HH1 was full on at least two seperate evenings. But it's not that great since most of the old regs probably quit playing TF2 and forgot about HH1. The fun doesn't last more than an hour. I also noticed the mapvotes tend to be on the unfortunate side and include too many exotic custom maps. If we want to fill the server, we should play maps that made it so popular, like snakewater, gullywash and the other standard cp maps.

That is another thing I dont understand. I know a couple of servers with good custom maps, but they never get voted. I dont understand that. I have almost 1400 hours of TF2 and after that time I am sick of the default maps, even though they are great. And I loved almost all the custom maps I played, even the less popular ones, it was a change I loved. But I just cant seem to find a server where I could play them.

I've noticed that it's dead during my tumultuous return to TF2, that said, I don't really recognise many people on the HH2 servers any more either. I'm presuming most of the regs who filled it up over the past few years have drifted away from the game lately and without quick-play it makes it ever harder to fill it up.

Try to get on in the evenings - there are plenty of regulars who join HH2 and help keep the games going. It sometimes needs an admin to choose a decent map and to send out an announcement, but with a bit of effort we can usually fill the server and keep it going when people want to play.

Bah... i'm updating so i can do my bit (at least for a couple of days )

Just dont gang up on me (too much)... I was last paying attention at the first Soldier update!

Will be on in 10ish

It would be really useful if the announcement actually worked though ... I don't see the pop-up anymore like I used to. Am I alone with this and does anyone know what's causing this?
