I would just like to say that I voted "often" in the poll. With that being said my wait times are normally only a few minutes. To tell the truth I have only been playing this game for a few weeks and I would rather wait in line for this server. I can't find another server that is not full of hacks or just general idiots. Keep up the good work guys

Thanks SS! It's players like yourself that is making the server fun to play on. The purpose of the poll is to see if there is a need for another public server. Ideally, we want the servers full but not to a point where people are waiting 5-10 minutes to get in. That's too long of a wait.

war is hell is really the only server i play on. due to that fact, i sometimes have to wait a little bit. the player turnover is pretty high tho, and i never have to wait longer than 5 minutes. i do find its bad to try to get on around 8 o'clock (eastern) and later. most often i can get on if i just get in there a little earlier (like a good restuarant :D ). at this point i don't think we need another server.

At this point, I don't mind the wait at all. I don't think I've ever had to wait more than 5 minutes, and with the auto-retry I really don't have to think much about it.

As the WiH community continues to grow, we do have to wait more frequently... While regulars are willing to wait a few minutes, this will hinder new players from joining, or even seeing, the server.

Currently I would have to say the need for an additional server is not required but at the rate the community is growing it can't be far off. In fact I've stopped playing other servers simply because I don't think there is another one out there that monitors cheaters and idiots like this one. But to answer your question I don't care about the 2-6 minute wait to get on. All things considered it is a small price.

In case it hasn't been said enough, thanks for the server.

I also voted often. But It's a popular server.

I think an additional server is needed. Do you need cash for a third server? How much? I need to know. Also, if I throw cash torwards a thrid server I want a spot AUTO>.

It seemed like I have to wait in line forever last night to get on the server...

Time was about 8:00 PM CST, and I wanted to get in and get a little warmed up before our CAL match. I was working on a couple of other (non CS) things, and pretty frustrated, so I wanted to get on the server ASAP. Seemed like I waited for over 10 minutes...

Was it just me? Maybe it is time for that other server after all.

I know I have already posted on this subject so I will start with a sorry. It seems that as soon as the question for a new server came out the line to get in doubled for me. It might be a good idea to change the match server to another public one since it does not get very much action. Just a thought, have a good day.

Oh its getting action alright, and i expect it to quadruple in use this week. You dont understand the humility of monday night. :(

Note--anyone can use the 5 on 5 server, just post under reservations.

Not entirely true. Must be 2 distinct teams with tags denoting them. That server is not for just anyone and their buddy to play on. It's for teams wanting to scrim, practice for CAL and for CAL official matches.
