Starting now we are trying to give everyone who wants to play battlefront the chance to have some big games at least once a month. If you want to play in battles with lots of players then join the SWBFdays servers on the last Saturday of each month starting November 30th.
We'll have servers running for the US and Europe all day and aim to fill them. If everyone keeps playing on these days we'll always be able to guarantee some good games. Hope you enjoy them. :cheers:
If you are new or returning to battlefront here is how to play (http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=7195.0).
If you want to help with SWBFdays see here (http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=7193.0).
Such a good idea, I can not wait to kill me a mountain of dead bodies :blink:
I will be there on the last Saturday :cheers:
That'll be Sunday Mornings Australian time... and Something in between for Europe. We'll figure it out. Great idea, cya then
Nice, you can count me in!
I'll be here. This is a great way to celebrate my birthday! (:
Does this still count at night?(It's only time I can play)

There is no start and end time (although I expect people will start around 1-2est). Just play whenever you want and tell everyone you know. :)
This starts next Saturday. Please do your best to make it and let everyone know. :)

Um, isn't Openspy shut down?
It will be on Tunngle. As far as I know Openspy doesn't work (at least not in any reliable way).
Sorry I missed the Nov game, but I will be there for Dec's see everyone then
There were many ppl (at different times) in UEF Pub Server... I take it as something possitive lol
Cell Games will be in 3 Weeks, so i hope various teams join it U_U
It's almost time for another battlefront day. Hopefully there will be a good number of players as it's Christmas.
Almost Christmas
Are we having it today or did I miss it?
It's happening now. There were 15 people on CloudCity earlier but then Tunngle crashed so the servers had to be reset. People are playing again now though.
What People? Theres only one person on BF1 right now.
Are these scheduled meets still going on?
They are still going but I haven't posted around other forums lately. To be honest there's people playing every weekend now anyway which was the whole aim so I haven't been trying to get people so much.
The only thing I'm aiming for now is for any players who retire to agree to try and come back on these days so everyone can still meet up months or years from now. That's the plan anyway. :)
I would try to meet up this Victoria Day weekend, but unfortunately after having recently gone back to SWBF (by recent, I mean incredibly brief), I've found my laptop is not as strong as it once was. I almost got a full match in on my laptop before it yet again, overheated. I'm so mad that I don't have my old refurbished tower back either. If I had decided to reinstall XP sooner, I probably would've had a decent rig to run SWBF on, since that was the tower I used 3 years ago to play SWBF on. It wasn't always the best, but that may have been because it was before my parents replaced our 12-year old modem. Who knows? Maybe when I get that machine back, I'l be able to actually play SWBF on a decent machine again, and even some SWBFII for my clan. :)
I know I haven't done much with this for a while but I was asked about this today and if people think it's worth it we could try and do another big push to get players on over Christmas (and on the last Saturday of months).
I know it's a way off but if anyone wants to get this spread around I think that with Gamemaster it will be a lot easier to get old players back. let me know if you have any ideas on where to advertise. :)

Good idea, Led should send a PM to all members of this site (I think they're emailed to you by default, right?).
Good idea ! :moo:

I dont think he'll do this...
(Just saying)

It should be easy for him to mass PM everyone. If he doesn't want to for some reason, then we could still do it by dividing the 2500 members among ~10 of us, it would then only take each person about 20-25 minutes of work.
Let me see how it would work.
I am sure it is possible, but I know I don't have an "email all" button :)

Thanks--I am tied up today, but I will compose an email as soon as I can.
We should have a few topics in it.
Should we try for a mini-tournament over the holidays?
Sounds like a good idea to put as much information as possible so we don't have to send multiple emails. A tournament over Christmas would be nice as well but I think the emphasis should be on a day to just play. I think sometimes tournaments can put off new and casual players from joining the server because they don't all want to read the rules.
Maybe the message should have an enticing endscreen cap from a recent game, to pull on heartstrings and show that we have a sizable group of regular players.

I agree, the target day(s) should probably on be the weekend between Christmas and New Years?
