Valve has recently released an update to TF2.
There have been some past updates that move certain servers to the "Custom" server tab, this tab at the moment is a death sentence to servers. Players do not know about the tab and there will be tens of thousands of players who will never even click on this tab.
I worked around this by lying to the valve master server about what tags the server had. Quote: |

For the good of our servers, I no longer lie about the tags to the master server, as a result the 2x 30 players were moved to the "Custom" tab.
After being moved to the custom tab, they were empty for the longest time since they were launched. So I have put them down to 24 player servers (they will be 24's after next restart). Depending on how full these servers are I may launch another 24 player server so we don't lose player capacity.
There is no point in running a 30 right now. It will never be at capacity with valves server apartheid.
This is just temporary until valve fixes the server lists the way they should be done. I along with a lot of server ops will be protesting the change until it's fixed and I have some aces up my sleeve for how to do that.

30players is why I play here...I love the chaos that it + the faster respawns provide, feels more like TFC(aka fun)...I will indeed be yelling at Valve, how dare they ;p How about you leave at least one as 30 in the meantime, and add a note to the "Welcome to voogru!" spam that shows mid-game all the time that says there's a 30player voogru server in the Custom tab ;p |

6 players isn't a HUGE difference but for some reason I totally notice the difference in the amount of sound/talking going on in the 24 compared to the crazy 30s. Also the games aren't as whack (which for me is awesome fun). Dustbowl Stage 2 was extremely boring because we pushed them back so easily last time. As for other maps it's the same thing just... less explosions  . That's 3 less engineers camping Dustbowl Stage 3, WOOT!

I was on one of the 24player servers last night...it was kinda boring, and on map changes it dropped to 17 then 14 and never really filled back up...valve has essentially ganked us =\
They need to make the effing server list like it was, defaulted to show EVERYTHING, and have "Pure/Default" servers as an OPTION you could CHOOSE. Valve apparently doesn't fucking realize people want options, the option to turn crits on/off, the option to disable SD, the option to have higher player limits, and while some of these options have been given to us they add new things and SUDDENLY FREAKING FORGET THAT WE WANT OPTIONS and don't GIVE us one. I swear it's like they all went to work on HL ep3 and left retarded goldfish with memories to match to do the TF2 updates | |
