I feel that because of how limited the servers by location, more servers located in other common places should be made too.
I say this because of the issues with languages. I get irritated when I'm surround by people who don't speak english. It's hard for me to discuss strategies or just make a conversation with anybody(Especially in Zombie Mode -_-). Within most servers I visit, I'm usually the 1 out of 5 or less people who speak english(except Minit Assault).

If my suggestion is flawed, please tell me. I know this may sound as a rant, but please bare me.

I know, but I'm only in US. Unless I decide to move to Brazil, I can't do anything.

I wonder if we should be more worried about weak timezones (longitude) than latitude in terms of server coverage?

I think we need less, we have a really high capacity for players right now so everyone is being spread out and almost all the games are empty...

Right now, the servers are at 23% capacity. I don't think that needs to go any lower. If there's a specific gamemode that's always full or something, then sure, another server would be nice, but just more servers in general doesn't seem necessary right now.

Exactly this. To be honest, I think we need much, much less servers, so that servers with 3-4 people don't exist and slots in the remaining servers can be filled up. Perhaps izzy could take two or three of the least popular Aloha servers down, but I don't know. I think Minit removed a few a while back too, thought I don't know the motive.

What we need is to keep building up the player community, we have enough servers. Help out in the Public Relations area of B&S, target forums and websites with the population Blue_Spade Green_Spade characteristic you like. and if all fails learn a new language. lol.

I don't agree with taking servers down, at least not any aloha ones. The lesser used ones tend to be less-played gamemodes, which would be played even less (i.e. not at all) if those servers were shut down.

I never see forerunners anymore and when I do there is no reason for teamwork, unless you are on the mumble or with your clan I just wouldn't talk in chat altogether. There are enough servers anyway so unless we get more people we have enough servers.

If anything, we actually might need less servers. To create a better experience for players, you need to have a decent amount of player concentration. We are running on about 30% server capacity. If we have LESS servers, game modes like ToW might be played more often, due to people being on.
