Take a look at the UK Bitches and Bastards server -
They have 5 bots on an empty server named after actual players. What happens is when admin are about, they log in and and just sit there doing nothing if they are not playing so it appears that there is player(s) on the server. As players join the bots drop out. The bots are enough to keep the
casual visitor amused until perhaps another joins in. Wink
The same server also changes the number of playing slots that appear on the server list. A server with 4 players from 7 slots looks full. As it fills up the number of slots seems to magically increase. Wink

Sharp practice? no. These are ploys that work in that they capture the stray player looking for a game out of peak playing times. The map cycle is interesting and short enough to learn with the odd variation thrown in.
Some of the in game and server sounds are unique and the bots will give you compliments, hurl insults at you and even accuse you of cheating. Exclamation

A very neat piece of marketing designed to attract and keep what is left of the old player base and newcomers. (I play there regularly, its fun)

This has been already discuted:
http://forum.tsgk.com/viewtopic.php?p=30463#30463

There is all the time a minimum of 1 or 2 (if not 3) TSGK Servers that are busy and will welcome you anytime, it should be an utopia to think that we would have regular players everyday for our 29 servers at the same time even if we have real regular players on at least more than an half dozen of them which is handsome.

The main purpose of TSGK Network Servers is to cover the most locations possible accross the world (mainly europe and north america) and merge all those players into an unique statistics system.

An average of 50 players per days and per servers is far to not be nice.
Also, welcome to HL2dm, the forgotten game by its own creator (2 months to fix the broken chat etc etc...).

I love playing on the TSGK servers. I'm lucky I guess as there's usually at least two servers with a lot of players on them during the times I can play. My problem is that sometimes my favorite servers FILL UP! Also, even though my stats aren't that great, I do like to see them tracked. Does TSGK take contributions or donations or anything to pay for server hosting? I play enough on them that I'd actually be glad to chip in a little.

XI is often empty or with only very few players (2-3), I really like domebox and donutbox but mostly they can only be played on other servers.
