Server was full then it crashed, then it stayed empty(save for the 4-5 of us seeding) for over 6 hours.  I'm not sure whether it was just that night but the pings were especially high and that may have been scaring people away from the server. Where is the server located at again? While my 160ish ping is certainly playable it's not what I would call optimal. Anything we could do about this?

Its in Chicago, you should ping the same to it whatever you ping to BRB Red, if the pig is abnormally high, please contact Trick, Surf, or myself to reboot the box. Its likely that after an EA/DICE/PB boot that it needs to be rebooted to normalize the connection there.

[/quote]Yeah, I ping 30 to the server but in the game my ping is 130-140. Gay.

Pretty sure the ping in game is measured by time it takes a packet to do a round trip and not one way. Still seems high with that taken into consideration.
