Its a math problem y'all. 128 maximum players on the server and 11 battalions. If all 128 players went into just the battalions there would only be 11 people online per battalion. That's not counting all 5 SOBDE squads, Base Ops, Jedi, and staff obligations as well. Our average player count for the past month has been 80 people, if all 80 of those people went into just the battalions you'd only have 7 people in each battalion online. We have too much content, it'd be better if we cut back so that you had a larger online player base in each battalion, but to prevent things getting stale we rotated battalions in and out over a period of time (bi-monthly or otherwise).
