Servers

[Edward]

I just entered my licence code and played the full version. I was shocked how less people there are on the servers (and the amount of servers too). There was only me and 1 other person. How can this be? even on the demo servers there where always at least around 15-20 people.
Do I have to connect to something else cause racing around versus one other person is pretty boring.

Unfortunately, the number of players in full servers varies a lot. At certain times, it is often quite empty but when it is evening in Europe, there should be more full players, too. Right now there are two full servers with lots of players.

It can often be hard to be the first one to start filling a server. Usually, when about three or more players gather in a server, it gets much fuller, soon. However, what often happens is that players pop in and immediately leave if there are not others in yet.

But anyway, the ultimate solution would be to get more and more players buy the full version so keep telling your friends about the game .

What might also help would be organizing special events and cups.

Yes that's a good idea. The level in this full version servers is a lot higher. I get last place all the time while on the demo servers I win em sometimes. Guess I'll need some more training.

Here , in Brasil, we make some championships, using F1 and F5 cars. All are welcome...

The overall is : 9-12 players

I do not know where you saw the "lots of players" but I only saw them in the Playtrix Demo Server. As I wanted to see where they are I made a statistic of the last week.

Available as Excel-File (also zipped), or HTML-File (also zipped), or Open Office File.

I made the statistics from the Information on the PHP-Server. Unfortunately I didn't know that Turbosliders 1.0 only updates them when a cup starts and all 10 minutes. So this statistic is not very useful for Demo servers as the cups do not even last 10 minutes if they are well visited. That explains why I do not have many values for demo servers and many zeros there. If there is no value in a field or a -1 one it means the server was currently started.

About the demo server:

Here we cannot see much because of the reason mentioned above, but you can see that the zeros for the Playtrix Demo Server are in the night - after midday and at the evening it seems to be full.


But more intersting is it for the full servers:

• Best visited is the Turbosliders 2 server with all standard cars and without random mode. The maximum was 11 players but unfortunately they didn't even remain an hour on the server. In this server you have 4 hours per week where you can hope to find a cup with 10 players.
• Ghost servers were empty nearly all of the time, the norr Ghost Server reaching a maximum of 6 players.
• US Server is completely empty, reaching a maximum of 2 players!
• Terra Sever isvisited regularly but only reached the maximum of 9 players once a week, the rest of the time 5 players are already much.

For the playtrix server: I marked the evenings (17:00-24:00 GMT+1) with a box, because these times are better visited.

The player numbers were taken each half hour, so if someone saw more or less players in a server they didn't remain half an hour there.

I think although the php-server is only updated every 10 minutes the statistic is not worthless and we got the status of the full servers and regarding that there were two servers full with 16 players most of the evening in Version 0.86 it is very sad now that you only have 10 players as maximum if you are in Europe and have luck enough to meet them.

So if you think that there really are lots of players maybe you can make a statistic with your UDP-Data, but I have the feeling that these numbers prove what I see when I want to join a server...

are there any public servers running for sliders 0.86b?

thanks
