How many of you do this? How many of you see some empty EF server with no one there but has good ping and it's playing, say, Great Wall? Would you join it and wait and hope some other person looking for a game of Euro Forces might come in and join? If so, how long will you wait?

If you're not the guy who is the first to seed an empty server, then do you search any of the EF maps to see if they are being played? If you see one person waiting, will you join him/her? If so, how long will you stay?

Me? I check every time I play BF2, and if I'm really in the mood, I'll wait. Sometimes, I'll sit in a server for an hour, but don't think I'm just running around the whole time. I'll mess around for about 15 minutes, then probably just got AFK. If someone is there with me, we usually do stupid shit and talk. It makes me feel all warm and gooey inside when I've helped a server that no one has played before getting it's first round of EF played.

Another of my dumb Euro threads ya? Cya around.

Well even though i don't have EF, i do seed them as much as i can.
Nice to do it and fill up server, knowing you helped

I do it a lot.   Actually, I've had a lot of fun playing with guys before the server gets sufficiently populated ... sometimes, it is more fun than the actual game ....

I have tried it before now, but if nobody joins within 5, 10minutes at the most, ill leave. If a few join, then ill stay a little longer to see if the game will start up.

Someone, somewhere, REALLY needs to set up a 24/7 Great Wall server. Reading on these forums shows that many people really like the map - so why the hell is there hardly any server with it on?
Seriously, if a server admin somewhere set a rotation of 24/7 GW...Id bet that itll be full up a lot of the time (if its advertised that is).

I want a 24/7 64-man great wall so badly. It's a great (pun not intended) map.

I have euroforces but havn't re-downloaded it from Ea Spyware.. I mean downloader.

But for BF2 or SF, it depends.  Like others said before, if there's a few peeps either already there or joining in, i'll stick around usually until 2 or more others leave, then it's time to get some action elsewhere.

Now practice is another story.  Sometimes I don't feel like playing a game, so i'll find an empty server and practice flying or driving sometimes up to an hour or more.  I don't want to practice rapid camera view changes or unfamiliar manuevers in game and put my team at risk.

I've attemped this myself with little to no luck. It would of helped if the 16 player # of minimum players to start was 4.. but thanks EA.

I've waited off and on several attempts for a hour+. One night I swapped our clan server over to great wall. I idled in it all night and the next day. When I got home, guess what.. it was still empty and the log showed that one other person had joined the entire time.
