So I haven't played in a long time but I've had RO since pre-ordering for Ostfront started. I love this game! Or maybe I love the memories. The server browser just...confounds me it is so awful. Every server I click on will revert to 0/xx aka no players playing, even if when I clicked on it it was 24/32 or even 114/24. The only server(s?) that work(s) is/are the 24/7 Danzig one(s). Now all the maps in RO are fun. But that map is so overplayed I really think its the worst thing RO ever did, was include it. The only other maps I see are custom maps, usually some horrid Arad mutation. I've even clicked on the triple-digit ping servers (eew!) which I never do unless I'm desperate but those even do the same thing. And when I go to connect there's nobody in the server. Other times it will connect and I'll have to download huge files, and a lot of them. That's always bothered me but again the only ones that don't do that are the freakin Danzig servers!! I miss the days of playing on servers with a regular rotation, like Krasnyi or HedgeHog or Basovka (few ever learned how to play that on Germans, it seems).
OK so what was the point of this..yea, I see on the news page that RO is one of the top played games on Steam. That's pretty damn good considering what is on Steam (and considering how much its expanded over the past 1-2 years to include almost every game under the sun that's saying something.) But where is everyone playing? Anybody else having these server browser problems? It frustrates me so much that I read about people playing the game but when I go and try I have to download huge files. I end up playing Danzig in the end and get as sick of it as I did when I stopped playing PC games about 6 months ago. Is there still a big American playing base out there?
