Its running as 24/7 Karkand/Mashtuur/Sharqi now... check out my sig for full name if you like
And the reason why there's no chinaonly servers is because those maps.. well... suck

Here are a few things that might you.
First, [as has already been stated] 24/7 Karklands are a penny a dozen. Try so of the other populars maps.
At present 24/7 Sharqui maps are on the up.
Second, try to make you're server a little different from the rest. Try the team switching at the end of each round. Or running a max of 32 players but have a map rotation of 16, 32 & 64.
Third, if you are running a 24/7 server dont have 2 or 3 rounds per map try having 10. I say this because I have a fast PC and rarely out of the first 5 to join a server, those with slower PC's hate to join and already have 2 of their flags capped already. If the server reloads every 2 rounds these people start half of thier games in a bad mood, not a good thing to keep them coming back.*
Fourth, make sure you're server name starts with a good description. IE "24/7 Sharqui" or "Wake 24/7" These are the kind of things people search for, add any clan stuff in after this.
Last, and in someways the most important part, is how you admin the server when you do get players.
Have a max of 5 rules, all these must be clearly defined on the text field in the bottom left as players join the server. Makes sure that these are enforced fairly by someone with a level head, and make sure you're clan NEVER EVER breaks one of you're own rules.
While there are a lot of activities in BF2 I dont agree with [and you're whole clan might not either] you have to balance these againts global popularity.
Remember spawn raping, bunny hopping, C4 jeeps are all OK by the RoE, so if you dont say they are banned from you're server then you are saying it's OK.
I hope some of this helps.

* Please note I dont know why more private servers dont do this. There may be a stability issue? or memory leaks between reloads? Everyone please say if there are technical [not personal\social] issues with this idea. Thanks.

Servers with no verification cut down loading by about a minute (for me and loads others probably) so i join those usually. Try disabling verification, people know whether servers have it or not by the green monitor thing in the server browser.
I said this and people are minus Karmaing me for it. I'm not being a smartass I'm pointing out that he has rounded it down to one option that he should try, thus degrading the need for this topicSgt.Davi wrote:

just rename your clan Kinfe & Pistol Only and then it will just be the name of your clan. anyting wrong with thta?liquidat0r wrote:
Do what i said. It works. Call it 'Knife and pistol only'. Do not actualy play to these rules, peopl will just join anyway[NTHW]LemonyBrainAid wrote:
I was asking for a serious answer - can anyone actually provide or am I actually going to edit the maps to have pole dancing women around the TV station on sharki ?
EDIT: soz we were both writing at the same time. In anser to ur question above ("Is this allowed") probably not, come to think of it
the server is karkand/mashtuur/sharqi 24/7 right???
sounds good, i'll check it out when i get some time... and if the ping isn't to high...

My server has 6thAD in the title for my clan, and we are regularly full. This has nothing to do with it. It's bad admining that empties out servers, and in my case, the 6thAD admins fair and balanced.dan500 wrote:
