okay this is alittle odd. but i cant seem to find ANY populated servers. i just hope im going crazy because its been like this for atleast half a year for me. there are only 2 servers it says are online. and no one is ever on them. at most its one other person. is there something im missing that is keeping me from seeing the other servers?

im just curious because this used to be my favorite game. and i stopped playing it for a few months. then i came back and...no one plays it anymore, or they are all hiding from me lol.

so if anyone could help me fix this problem i would GREATLY appreciate it.

Dont play at exotic times.

Install the latest version of NS.

When 14 people dont join a server, because they are waiting for a server to fill, then they will never get to play. Just join a server.

Btw:

200 servers, 300 players...

Edit: And what an coincident: There are exactly 2 "3.0 beta4" servers out there.
So delete your nsp and nsp2 folders, install 3.2 and enjoy!

Natural Selection Server Browser shows 189 servers currently running.

They're out there...

More then likely you are not running the current version of NS.

Go delete you NS or NSP folder then follow the directions here.
