I have renamed all of our servers to try to get more interest from publics. I have used the method of putting the game type at the start (useful when people sort by name for Gun Game etc).

I also plan to install a couple of bots (3-4?) on some servers just so it looks like theres people on. This will encourage publics to join too. Even if its only a couple of bots per server (which automatically drop as people join).

i agree as soon as i see they r bots im like f**k that, and ye the names are always "Normal" and they have no ping.

If i remember correctly isn't there a filter you can use to find servers with or without bots? Might just be me thinking this, but i am pretty sure there is a specific filter for that purpose.

Thanks to warlocks very kind assistance, check it out:

52 people currently on our servers - Nice!
