Server size?

Not sure what's going on...tried to play tonight and noticed the server size was 0/4 and jumps to 1/6 every now and then. usually its quite full at this time of day and didn't see any news about it being down for a bit. just thought I'd ask.

thanks

Hi Felsine. The server size adjusts as people come and go in the server. It will adjust up to 64/64. It will adjust up to 64/64. This helps keep traffic coming with the Quick Play option. Essentially, when the server is almost full (for example 30 players out of 34 maximum [30/34]), Quick Play tends to put people who choose that option into the room over one that isn't almost full (30 players out of 64 maximum [30/64]). Everytime it gets within 2 players of the maximum, the maximum increases up to 64. Alternatively, albeit slower, the server will adjust down in maximum players when people are leaving (for example server is full at 64/64, 20 people leave, it will adjust to 44/48 ).

Thanks for the concern however. It seems like we may have lost quite a bit of our traffic when we tried the switch to Ranked, which didn't work out. We'll get built back up to where we were shortly!
