    I had a great deal of fun on the US GB server following the TNT broadcast. The only thing that stopped me me was the time (4:30 right right in northern europe) and my alcohole promille (4,30 right now in northern europe).

    I wich we will keep this up. Join us on the GB servers and have some stupid fun. Whatever your skill level and whatever your intents are (seriously, if you just want to practice jets... do it).

    US server: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/servers/show/009489c6-7c0f-4180-947d-a6972b3a541c/Giant-Bomb-Tested-US-B2K-Vanilla-1-Player-Start/

    EU server: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/servers/show/a3a0d39a-1e3a-4cd7-bc33-e770c5b0b53a/Giant-Bomb-UK-B2K-Vanilla-1-Player-Start/

    (I'm sorry. Promille means "per thousand" here in meterland)

    I do hope we see more people on the bombing runs. The server had been totally dead for weeks until tonight. For bombing runs we were only getting 10-20 people at most.

    I'm always game. The cue of 70+ people tonight scared me away, however. Good to see such interest, though!

    Added the US server to my favorites. I'll probably end up playing on it exclusively as long as it isn't a ghost town.

    Hope this leads to a resurgence of duders playing regularly again. Skyrim pretty much killed it last time.

    You know I love you guys but you're a bunch of spoiled brats!  
    It's NOT FUCKING HARD to gang up on a server and fill it up, there are HUNDREDS OF US and the server has sixty four slots, you just need to JUMP ON and wait for others to join you.. 
     
    Shoutout to Alexwood, Swoxx, Liber, Gruvac, Mosdl, Journ3y, bwat, roughneck, Xyber, Cdude, Matthew, and all the other regulars for being constant regulars who want the server to populate and always jump on it and play 5v5 until more people join. 
     
    The next time you see 10 people playing, don't call the server a ghost town, JOIN IT to become number 11, and that will make the next duder number 12, before you know it you have a great 20v20 match going. 
    If we all stand around and stare at the server waiting for it to magically fill up it will never happen.

    @AhmadMetallic: I'm happy if there's 10 people playing, then I'm sure to join up. It's usually 1-2 players when I look it up wich is just sad.

    Considering the TNT server crashes, is there a stability issue on the GB servers? I was wondering if that's the reason why people abandoned it. Just a thought.

    Wasn't a great idea though imo, giving people the impression that the server becomes unstable whenever its full....We do want people to play on our servers right? lol

    Haha, while it did kinda give a negative impression, it made people happy because it gave them more chances to join, which was great. 
    We probably pleased 128+ people last night! The crashes also served as good short breaks so that's good.
     
    But to answer your question @Christoffer: the server is as stable as it could be, the crashes (lets call them restarts) were, ahem, intentional to let more people (or certain individuals) in. Cough.

    I'm doing the most taboo of all things a man can do and bumping this thread.

    We're having a bunch of fun on the GB UK server so join up. And again, if you think you're too casual, join up anyway.

    I know I have been guilty of this in the past. I am going to start hoping in the server whenever I am on, hoping to fill it.
