I might suppose that when visible Persian Eagles server would attract less ppl from EU than say Eagles server. And mostly because ppl dont like joining servers where they can't understand the communications of majority of players (or dislike for some reason). "Persian" or "Russian" or "Chineese" name warns them in advance
Think about Frontline with the defenders base moving just like an attackers one (to give less distance to AO).

No hosting from my side. Not getting the permission to forward ports. |

In my experience, players are more attracted to servers which are almost full. This applies to small scale missions too. 5/10 players looks fuller than 5/30 players, so players are more likely to join. To get people joining quickly, I'd start with a 10 player mission. Then once that gets full, I switch to a larger scale mission. So I'd start making some small scale missions.
Btw MO, could you kindly share the Chaos mission? From what I've seen, this mission attracts lots of players

Yep, the name of the mission should also be attractive regardless of its actual content

Steam almost killed Arma but what doesn't kill makes us stronger. So we might use Steam for increasing our numbers
method of AVALANCHE
When someone starts PvP DAMteam server he should immediately send invites to his steam-friends. Those who received this invitation and join the game immediately send invites to steam-friends in their lists. And those then to others. so we will get like 4x4x4=64 players (ideally but not impossible).
In PvP its not so important that ppl speak English (in Demo it was not uncommon to have 4-5 languages in game). And we may avoid long period of starter mission.
To make Avalanche effective we must increase our friends lists. You can meet someone from your country, you can add ppl who played once or twice on your server, or you can remember some guy in Demo and check if its possible to find him in Steam (would be interesting to find mars "The DAMkiller" btw)
Just imagine pvp like this - SAS and Iranian revolutionary guards fighting together against joined force of Wehrmacht veterans and Soviet Spetznaz. Would be very Demo-like

Yup, its working for some people like me and sasha.
KSK is having trouble with his firewall.
I have some coops already, but I think your coops are superior.
Share some coops please!
Sasha won't be back until September |

It's not the firewall. I'm not even coming to this issue. It's the forwarding of the ports, which I'm forbidden to do...
What about your I-Net speed, Renz? Would it be possible for you to host?

Sure I can host, my internet is ok.
I have MO's PVP mission pack, but these need lots of players.
Some fresh coops would be great as well.
I can host modded too, but I don't know how to run a modded server.

For this "client hosted way" we should stay with vanilla version (aka M.jac-friendly version). That ensures a higher potential of a bigger number of foreign players joining to the server and playing with us. I recommend indeed some COOPs, small "fun" PvP and "standard" PvP or a way in between like the Frontline with 2 sides, one smaller and supported by AIs. That ensures that you can even start playing without any other people on the server or with just few of them...

We could also try to host - on dedicated server or on personal one - missions like "Patrol Ops III" or "ALiVE TAKISTAN NATOFOR" Those missions are the closest I found searching for "bigger" missions, multiple tasks and random action. Something that gives a bit of realistic feeling back, for what I was searching a while. Patrol Ops III - linkALiVE TAKISTAN NATOFOR - link...the second one might be extremely heavy due to ALiVE mod...but worth trying, in my eyes. |

I'll be interested in hosting those, but I need people to actually join my servers

Put a notification in shoutbox or something like that when your hosting
