Ive been reading a lot of topics stating that there aren't many EF servers, even less so with people playing in them.
I have 4 (1 is now offline since 1.3) in my favourites alone. So, why dont we collate all of the IP's into 1 topic and see how many we can find?

Heres mine, the 4 servers im always on at the moment, going for that EU medal:

"213.208.119.122" 29900 "EA UK Jolt.co.uk #3 - Smoke Screen Only" (64man...often nearly full)
"213.208.119.114" 29901 "EA UK Jolt.co.uk #2 - Great Wall Only" (never seen anyone here yet...)
"85.236.101.15" 17065 "Chosen Men - Euro Warzone" (16man...runs ALL 3 EF maps on 32player size)
"217.10.127.130" 29900 "Net At Once Euro Force 100Mbit Sweden" (50man...runs ALL 3 EF maps)

EDIT: Updated since AF was released...4 of the original 5 here have all converted to AF.

101st corps is based in America, so i get high pings on it. There others are European based, so Im more often in those for the lower pings and better ability to hit enemies

I know, Great Wall is amazing, but it's the least played. 101st even took it out of rotation. Being MEC get's old after a while.

Oh, and thanks for posting those other three IPs. I only knew of 101st and UTAC (they suck, but only If 101st is full and I want to get pwned by a team stacking clan). So, +1 for you my friend!

Its strange that, cos I read a lot around here that people like Great Wall...so why is it the least played
Thanks for the +1

I just got EF and I love the maps. It's so disappointing that there aren't many servers. Thanks for collating this into a topic.

Yea, I know where you're coming from. They had a Great Wall vs. Karkand poll, and Great Wall won. But 101st took theirs off the map rotation because people would start to leave. Why would people leave that map? It's amazing. They had it on a 16 player map, with 64 people. Not a whole lot of tickets, but the best, most intense carnage I've ever seen. You've got 32 Euro Force players parachuting down into the interior Wall and everyone is nade spamming and crap. It's so fun! On a 32 map perspective: Sure, sometimes you're team gets screwed when you don't hold the Castle, but it's the best feeling when you're team holds it so it evens out.

And no problem

Yeah, 16 player Great Wall is amazing... the 32 version sucks. Too bad theres no way to up the ticket ratio to make it last more than 5-10 minutes for both rounds to be played. That is why it was taken out, some people take 2-3+ mins to load and they would get pissed and leave.

Edit: Oh and our Euro server is going bye bye when armored fury comes out... wish we could have put both AF and EF together but EF will not be half as popular as AF will be... The high ping limit is 230 on the euro server. I know a bunch of German and Netherland guys play on there every night so I don't see why anyone in western europe should have that huge of a problem.

Great wall on 16player was awesome with 32v32 on that 101st server. The rounds were quick, intense and awesome fun. According to my stats, ive got 11 wins, 1 loss (12 rounds total)....all in 45mins!!
Ive never even played it on 32player size

I can see a lot of EF servers going down when AF comes out...and that is a massive shame and massive blow to what is such an under-rated addon to BF2.
HeimdalX - how can you say that it wont be as popular? The 101st EF server is consistently full whenever I look at it....I rarely even get onto the server anymore! Its that kind of thing that will kill off EF - and thats a huge shame.

It all comes down to money my friend... if people want to help foot the bill for it then it would stay up as Euro and we would probably open another server for armored fury.

And please don't misunderstand me by that statement, this isn't a cry for help for people to give us money. But the fact remains that we get probably less than 1/10th of our donations outside the people in our clan and our clan has less than 40 people in it.

The funny thing about Euro is, as of right now the server has not crashed once due to the new 1.3 bugs. Weird, huh? The addon itself is indeed underrated, but it is entirely unsupported by EA at this point. They supposedly fixed the 32 player Great Wall glitches, didn't. Euro fighter bug, not fixed. The Great Wall bug led us to the 16 player map, it is awesome but the tickets drop so fast its not even worth it anymore.
Smoke screen is one of my favorite chopper maps and taraba quarry is one of the best bomber maps as well. Another bug that remained unfixed, you can't rotate normal maps with EF maps... atleast not for long because it will kick people out. 200 bucks a month for 2 maps, worth it?

So why not make a 16player Great Wall last for about 3 or 4 rounds? Itll be worth it, and by that time...surely people will have finished loading the map :S

At the end of the day, its obviously your server and you choose what to do with it. I have 2 servers in CS:Source, 1 TS server and a domain for my clan. I know about the money issue pal! And I understand that alright.
Still, we'll see what happens. When AF is released, its gona be a big test for EF and I think its gona show just how little EF is played....something I cant understand but hey, thats life. I hope EF survives - not only do i want that damn medal, the maps are awesome and are a great break from the standard BF2 maps.
I have got 3 other EF servers in my favourites. Duno if they're gona come down when AF comes out though.
We'll see!

213.208.119.114:16568 EA UK Jolt.co.uk #2 - Great Wall 24/7

Its the only 24/7 server ive found with Great Wall on it...and its a 33man server running the 32size map. Should be great for getting the 100BRS, however, I only found it tonight and it was empty the whole time

The jolt servers have bad ping, especially for a guy like me in the western part of the U.S. Hopefully though, it won't be too bad.

Updated since AF was released....these are the only servers I find with EF that have people on it:

"213.208.119.122" 29900 "EA UK Jolt.co.uk #3 - Smoke Screen Only" (64man...often nearly full)
"213.208.119.114" 29901 "EA UK Jolt.co.uk #2 - Great Wall Only" (never seen anyone here yet...)
"85.236.101.15" 17065 "Chosen Men - Euro Warzone" (16man...runs ALL 3 EF maps on 32player size)
"217.10.127.130" 29900 "Net At Once Euro Force 100Mbit Sweden" (50man...runs ALL 3 EF maps)

I can find about 20 other EF servers....all empty every time I look at them though
