Well, It Finally Happened - USA Server

I didn't think, no, believe it would ever ever happen again, at least in the 11 year lifespan of 42.  But it did.....
was I happy about it? well  yes   and no....would I like to  see it happen again?  yes, definitely...but...

Here is the situation

August 8, around 415pm pdt, I had a few minutes to kill so I checked into USA Server to see whats up....Omaha..ugh..
that means bots stole the ship...hmmm...oh well, guess I will give it a try...

and then...wonders of wonders, miracles of miracles, I got this message when I tried to join the server:

FAILED TO CONNECT TO SERVER....
SERVER IS FULL

WTH??? was I dreaming? Did I get a bad batch of Oscar dolls?  whattttt???

I tried again.

SAME MESSAGE!!!!!

the measure of my disbelief was astounding!!! YAH!!!!!!!
and
when I finally got in...the bots were off, and there were only TWO bots!!!
but wait..
the TWO bots had the allied ship!!!!  arrrrrghghhhhhh.....

wake me from this nightmare!!!!!

GRATZ USA SERVER and OMAHA Beach!!!

cool

It's probably because Moongamers shut down.

Yeah, happened to me too. Maybe the treshold of players should be raised from 36 to like 50 or somthing.

Yeah it seems to be because of reddit.
Lots of brand new players.

Tread carefully and don't be to hasty to raise the server number, see if it becomes a regular thing and then consider it.
Simple is a good server make it somewhere players want to be rather than somewhere they can be anytime, do you see what I am trying to say?

The exact reason why we didn't increase player slots during the last "invasion" many months ago...it evened out back to normal.

I hope that's not the case and people get "hooked" with the SiMPLE 1942 gameplay.
