The main issue ain't even the lack of players, it's just that there's too many servers. Diversity stays important, though, to avoid "monopolies" of server owners and/or game types.

FanMaps used to have three to four full servers, when I first joined them as a clan member and they was a the top.
Now, we are the bottom (called MP now), we have fewer players, we still have a strong Renegade community who play in our servers, but the days of a all our servers being full are long gone.
If we had a higher listing, that would soon change.

Caled FM then MP-clan then FM then MP-gaming then FM whatever you call yourselves now.
The ranking had nothing to do with it. Too much in-fighting and too much time expected to be put into the server.
We were both there, we both know what happened.
Too many servers = limited players in each server. Newmaps never recovered from all its mods that were introduced, CCTF had few players, Sniper had less.
FM will never recover, no matter how hard players wish. There is more chance of finding life on Mars than there is of FM going to a full server 24/7. I suppose that also applies to the other smaller servers also.
Whereas N00bstories has no mods and keeps going from strength to strength with the basic maps.

Fanmaps kill a server, especially those that aren't in CP. We held on to Snow, Siege and BunkersTS for almost a year before we dropped their support because every time these maps would bump in over half of the players would be kicked out, including a lot of regulars. People just cba, how incomprehensable that may seem...

As Carrier said, the latest Custom Scripts sort WOL server list by players. With Resurrection you can define what the default sort order is.
#2
Goztow: Afaik you cannot fake the player amount for WOL server side, because the number of players being in the server's WOL channel is used. But that causes another problem: GameSpy users are not included in the WOL player amount.
#3
I agree that there are too many servers, but I disagree with solving the problem using a0* nicknames. Using the player amount for sorting is quite nice for a game with many servers and less players.

If n00bstories dropped off the front page today we would still be full at 50 players. Are percatnage of regulars to first timers is quit large. People know us and look for us that is a fact. Being on the front page doesn't mean shit unless you have the server, administration and community to back it up.

You dont really know what you talking about to be honest.
I was talking about the time BEFORE you ever joined FM servers.
This was back in the day when I was a Baja Clan Killer member.
