How come there aren't many players?

hey everyone. I started playing fortress forever a while ago and its really fun. But I can only find one server with people in it? Am I missing something or is there really that little amount of people in this mod?

Sometimes you get 2 servers + somebody playing a skill map, but yeah, that's about it. As for why, there are lots of reasons, not one single explanation. There's probably another thread somewhere that's discussed them.

Fact of the matter is we need more players who continue playing. Spread the word! This game is fun as hell if people just give it a shot. We have training mode to teach a lot of the basics that will be a great help in combat.

Well I will tell some of my friends to give it a try. Also are there any bots in this game? I'm sure bots would be a good addition so we can have fuller servers.

bot code was being developed a few years ago, but the person working on it basically bailed. It's too bad, I probably would play FF 10x as much if it had bots. Not only would people be able to play it when there weren't enough people, but it means you wouldn't need so much of a critical mass to enjoy a game like you do now. With both, just 2 people in a server could have a good time and it would encourage more to join that wouldn't otherwise.

I think having bots would help teach people how to play better, assuming the bots work good enough.
