ONS players down?

Hi all,

I played on the TCP server a lot about one year ago. I took a break from UT, and now I'm back I guess...

In my memories TCP ONS used to be full (32 players) around 8/9/10 pm. Now when I check back, there are only about 8/12 players? Are the ONS players down?

Greetings,

I play only on 12players Funhouse. That one with 32p has horrible ping, so don't expect me there.

ONS isn't as big as it used to be but TCP is still one of the biggest ons servers there is and you can find plenty players there though occasionally it takes some time for the server to fill up or sometimes it doesnt happen at all,
we though in tcp have been playing more and more ons lately so I dont see any ONS players down yet

Hey ShoreStar, no, the ons peeps are not all on vacation.

They are just trying new things out maybe. The server is full most of the time, but some of them have joined TCP, and are now training to do other things, like TAMS. I remember our leader, Carnage saying that our servers are still # 1 across the boards, and I believe they will stay like that. COCO and a few others, have rented a new server for ONS, but since I have not been around for awhile, I can not say if it is public now, or not. Please stay tuned to our servers, and the population will grow again.

Hi,
There's always plenty of onslaught action, and plenty of us still playing !

Hi all,
since the new 12 player Server is online i never see more than 10 or 15 players on the regular ons server.

Hi,

maybe the 32P server isnt as full as used to be because of its ping. Since switching to the new one, my ping increased from 70ms to 100ms+ in average. I miss a few great players for weeks or months now including Kousto/Cicada, who once complained a worse ping and didnt show up again.
The new server seems to be a virtual one because another TCP-server has the same IP but another port. Possibly, a non virtual server would have better pings.

Anybody else with worse pings?

It is not a virtual server

It is on a quad core server and using 1 core .. so same ip different port

As for the ping .. they "Should" be better since it is on one of hollands best networks

is it xs4all?
if so then you share your speed whit others

xs4all servers are great if you 1 of the few in your region using it
the more people around you use the less good it is

OK, checked a few stats now (thx 4 fixing your server stats!). It appeared that my ping is not generally at "100ms+" - sry for my cackle

Now I think, ping depends on date or time: Usually, its ok being at 55-75ms. But there are days with ugly pings round about 100ms indeed. Tracert showed 12 hops with 50ms to the 11th one but 100ms for the last hop. The server seems to share its standard gateway with other servers having quite a load sometimes.
Best time would be sunday morning 3am I guess. But I hate playing vs bots having only half an eye open

About virtual server issue: I wasnt aware of the possibility running the ucc.exe more than once. But you are right: Why not, if using a quad core? Should be no problem. But do you know what else is running on this machine aside from your 2 servers?
